They were built to have the gigantic cedars of Lebanon for the building of temples. Tea and 12 horses were hitch ed to each one of these primitive vehicles, and even then its motion was slow and uncertain. The lour great round blocks which served as wheels, with their peculiar wooden axle pins, re semble the plan on which a child's play cart is made to-day. Compared with the ponderous timber- DBAUGHT HOESES wheels which now haul iron castings through the streets of Pittsbure, the ram shackle of a conveyance in Bore's picture certainly was a mere plaything. Bat one other place in the world can exhibit such strong and massive wheel-trucks as Pitts bnrg, and that is Birmingham, in England. Those that are to be leen daily on Penn avenue and Carson street exceed anything that was ever yet built for weight and strength. Tbe largest timber-wheels that are utilized here for carrying iron trom one mill to another, or from the foundries to tbe railroad depots, weigh Beven tons. From their upright blocks can be swung a load of SO tons, and this is easily borne without straining the chains or timbers. A CAB OF ZNSUBTBY. ' Smaller timber wheels, weighing five and six tons will also swing a burden of 30 tons. They cost from 5200 to 5400 apiece. Their heavy rnnning gear, ponderous wheels with spokes that look like giant's clubs, iron ties that resemble railroad rails, oak timbers fitted with chains so big and heavy that a man cannot lift them these are what make one of the ugly looking cars worth that amount of money. For moving the smaller class of iron manufactures the truck wagon is used. That is a vehicle with stumpy little wheels and a strong compact wagon bed. They weigh nearly as much as tim ber wheels and cost 5600. A load aggrega ting 25 tons can be piled upon one of these trucks at a press. In the olden-time this heavy hauling in Pittsburg was all done in drays or two wheeled timber wheels. None of those odd affairs are left now. Heavy wagoning has been .completely revolutionized. Frank Ardary, who is at present engaged at James Ardary's big stables, corner of Liberty and Thirty-first streets, commenced teaming for the iron manufacturers 33 years ago at Seventeenth street. He says at that time Ancient Timber Wheelt. there were only three iron wagons like those of modern days in existence. 2Jor were there any of the great draught horses to be seen here then. The loads not being so heavy and the drays and carts being small, . there was not the necessity for big horses that there is now. STEEDS 07 TBOZT MTTSOLE. Pittsburg has become famous for its mag nificent draught horses. Travelers say no other city in the world can show so many of these wonderfully strong animals. Our heavy hauling led to a demand for powerful beasts of burden. The importation o( Percherons and Clydes was commenced on a small scale at first to 11 this want. The experiment was a success. The number of draught horses of these foreign breeds grew, and to-day they fill our streets. In the stables of the Araarys there are 110 of these Percherons and Clydes. Four of these giant horses bitched to seven-ton timber wheels will pall a load of ten addititinnal tons all day without ex haustion. Four of the ordinary sized horses, such as are used for grocers' wagons, could sot budge tbe 17 ton net weight Fight of them would have to be bitched to the pole be Tore they could move the load, and then they would give ont soon. Seven tons is the average load for four draught horses, but they are frequently tied to ten tons. Eighty and B0 hundredweight forms the ordinary, load for two-horse teams. The moving" power of 40 of these big horses is something wonderful to contemplate. PEEDINO THE MONSTEES. The draught horse being larger than the Average street equine, requires in proportion saore food. He consumes a bushel of grain very day, while the grocer' horse does not Set aaua store than half a bashtl a day. m .in. , s. n Proportionately as much hay j required to keep the big brutes. The tiarness for draught horses is of tbe strongest leatber that is made. For iron hauling extra heavy traces, straps, etc., are needed. Frank Ardary uses the old-time harness, with binstraps, as the best he can find for the purpose of timber wheel and truck hitching. These are the same that were used on the bones of the Conestoga wagons in the days before railroading. All of Ardary's harness also has the old-fashioned Irish collar. So near does the equip -Pfttoourg Tmbtr Wheelt. ment of his teams of to-day approach those of the olden-time that during tne Allegheny County Centennial Mr. Ardary sent out on a search through the mountains for one of THE ORIGINAL CONESTOGA "WAGONS. Sixty miles from here be finally found the bed of one which was built in 1832, and which was one of the largest that plied be tween Pittsburg and Philadelphia. This he refitted with a new wagon top. and.hitch ingsixof his biggest horses to it.hanled it in the great Centennial parade. The Cones toga still lies at his. stables on Liberty street The weight of the heaviest draught horse in tbe Twelfth ward is 1,900 pounds. Others range from 1,500 to 1,800 pounds. The ordinary-sized horse to be seen upon the streets weigh from 1,200 to 1,300 sounds. The Clyde draught horses haTe remarkably big hoofs, and therefore require a much larger shoe than the average run of horses. Black smiths say the amount of Iron that goes int8 the shoes for four draught horses would shoe seven horses of ordinary size, or ten ponies. GEXTLE AND BEAUTIFUL. Bo by the time you pay 515 or ?50 for a set of harness, giVe each "horse a bushel of oats per day, and let him lose several of AND HABNESS. those great iron shoes, you will find that it is slightly more expensive keeping a draught borse than one of the smaller size. These big animals are remarkably docile and gentle. The carriage nags of average size often combine all the qualities of viciona ness. They will kick, bite, run off, and do anything that is mean. But you can crawl under one of theseb!gdraughthorses,twist his ear, whip him, or explode a Jackson cracker under his nose, and he will not be mad about it They are beautiful as a picture. They cannot travel fast but on the rule that big bodies move slowly they jog along, taking good strides and keeping a steady progress all day if need be, but seldom faster than a walk. When they do trot the effort be comes something tremendous, and anything but graceful. They are usually driven with one line either from the wagon or from n saddle on one of the rear horses. They obey every word of the driver, and with the attachment that they soon learn to show for a driver who stays with them long, they place implicit confidence in him. SOME CELEBRATED LOADS. The heaviest load ever hauled in Pitts burg on a set of timber wheels was an anvil block of solid iron which was cast at Tot ten's foundry, on Twenty-fifth street, eight years ago, for the Siemens Anderson Steel Works ont Second avenue, in Fran ts town. Mr. Ardary hitched 16 of his draught horses to it and placed a driver over every four of the horses. The big team never stalled once in the whole journey, but so heavy was tbe load that up at the Scotch Market on Sec ond avenue the pavement was pretty badly torn up. The 40-ton cable of the Penn Avenue Traction Bailroad which was pniled from the railroad to the power house a couple of years ago could scarcely be called a load, for it was on a reel, and by use of block and tackle was simply rolled 'along tbe street Frank Ardary and Dan Dempsey furnished the 40 horses, Khicb, a month later, pulled the car in from Lawrenceville to the end of which was tied this cable. In that manner the cable was laid in the conduits. L.E.S. A LIVELY TILT. Bitch In the G. A. K. filrelloc About Invli. Inc the boos. A meeting of the Grand Army Day Com mittee of the G. A. B. was held yesterday afternoon in the Common Council chamber. The various committees reported everything in readiness for the reunion at Bock Point on September 17. The committee had a lively little tilt over tbe question of inviting the Sons of Veterans. Comrade Lambert was opposed to it because the invitations had already been printed, and could not be changed. Comrade JIcGrath thought that the wording of the invitation, which read that all G. A. B. men and their families were invited, covered the matter. Comrades Duval and Jones thought that the organiza tion should be formally invited. The matter was smoothed over by an in vitation to be extended by the Secretary. CHOKED BY TJKKSOWS STBAHGLEBS. Ho Farther Clewi la tbo Case of a AXardered Child. A verdict was rendered yesterday by the Coroner's jury in the case of the child found among some bushes near Gallagher street Allegheny, on Sunday last The evidence in the case was all in on Monday last, and the Coroner held the matter open to give the Allegheny police a chance to work up more testimony. The failure of the police to secure any ad ditional evidence led to the handing in of the verdict yesterday. The verdict rendered was that the child's death had been caused by strangulation at the hands of parties un known. EXCURSIONS TO THE SOUTHWEST.

Wire Boiled From -Cold Steel Ban Is Stronger Than if Drawn Hot. AKCIEHT STIIiE IN 8TAINED GLASS crnxF-ABXD for the dispatch. One of the most wonderful instanoes of what can be accomplished by ingenious mechanical applications is a loom for weav ing horsehair cloth, which has been intro duced in England. The hairs, after being sorted nud otherwise prepared, are placed in a channel at the side of the loom. Into this channel two sharp iron fingers dip at inter vals. These fingers are so adjusted that they grasp a hair, and only one. Occasion ally a finger will grasp two slender hairs, but this is very seldom, and the meohanism is so delicately adjusted that when it does occur the superfluous hair is immediately dropped. "When the dip is successful a light 'arm rests against the hair, held as it is in ten sion between the fingers on the upper side and a bar across the supply channel on tbe lower side. "When the dip is unsuccessful, and no hair rises in the fingers, this arm misses its hair support, and in doing so causes a lever to fall, thus dropping the fingers for a new trial within the fraction of a second after the unsuccessful attempt If it again misses, it repeats for a third time dnring the traverse of the shuttle to and from the other side of the loom, and if it fails after a third attempt to seize the hair, tbe stop motion comes into operation and prevents the shed changing, also the let-up and take-up of the warp, and brings tbe hair selected by the picker at the opposite side into the open shed, which prevents any imperfection in the cloth. The finished cloth is a beautiful substance of glossy surface, which is largely used for railway carriage blinds, for which it is spe cially suitable. Treatment of Stained Glass. C. 'Winston, in the Architect, says that in all the glass paintings of earlier date than the last quarter of the fourteenth century until which period the material commonly in use was not over clear, substantial In ap pearance or intense in color the artists seem to have relied for effect principally on the richness and depth of the coloring. Even the picture glass paintings of this period are little less than exceedingly power ful and brilliant mosaics. The style of the painting is simple, bold and forcible, with out any attempt at softness of finish and nice gradations of light and shade. The drawing is effected by thick, black lines, which alwars strengthen and in some cases supply the place of broader shadows. In all subse quent glass paintings until the revival of the more ancient styles, which took place about 25 years ago, in proportion as the glass became more pellucid, more flimsy in substance and appearance, and less powerful and intense in color, a less mosaic and increased pictorial eflect was aimed at The weakness of the Individual Colors was in a great measure compensated for by their employment in large masses, by judicious contrasts and by harmonious ar rangement Their depth was increased by means of broader and more powerful shadow ing, and a certain degree of richness was im parted by the more liberal use of diaper patterns and other minute imbellisbments. The drawing became more delicate, nicely graduated and highly-wrought shadows were, to a great extent substituted for stiff, black outlines, and in many instances con siderable attention was paid to perspective and to atmospheric effects. In short, it would seem that tne artists considered that the more refined nature of the material demanded as well as favored a more refined pictorial treatment, and sought to compensate for its comparative thinness and weakness by the introdnetion of beauties of another descrip tion. Blannfactnre of Paper Barrels. After three years of experimental work an English company has succeeded in produc ing barrels which are able to compete favor ably with barrels made of wood. The paper barrels are used principally for the carriage of gunpowder, mining fuses, fruit, flowers, molasses, paint, cement, matches, chemicals, dyes, asbestos, sugar and extract of meat The materials used in making the barrels are waste paper, cardboard and (for the bet ter quality) old sacks. When cardboard is used it is soaked or boiled for six hours and afterward treated in the same manner as the other raw material. This is carefully sorted and put into a rag engine, or beater, where it is beaten and torn to pieces by a series of knives for abont an hour and a half. It is afterward mixed with water un til a pulp of sufficient consistency is gained. This is rolled, joined, shaped and dried and the barrel is finally coyered with hoops. Before the tops and bottoms are put in the barrels are painted with a waterproof com position, made of linseed oil and resin for ordinary purpose barrels and with a special varnish where they are used for food prod ucts. The standard size made is 1G inches diameter by 28 inches long. The prices at which these barrels can be produced enables them to compete favorably with wooden barrels, a wood barrel costing 34 cents and a paper one 28 cents. One great feature is that there is no waste with the process, all "wasters" being eaten up into pulp again. Remarkable Armor Piercing. The remarkable progress which is being made in gunnery is illustrated by a croup of shells now on view at the Boyul Military Exhibition at Chelsea, England, consisting of 11 six-inch cast steel projectiles fired as prool-ronnds at Shoeburyness, against nine inch compound armor plates. Each shell had gone intact completely through the armor plate and through trom five to eight fest of oak backing as well. In the center ot the group, stands a 9.2-fnch shell, which is simply a steel casting, neither rolled nor hammered, and wnich has gone unbroken through 2 feet of wrought iron aud 20 feet of oak backing. Another notable case, is that of a projectile 13.5 Inches tu diameter, which penetrated an 18-inch compound plate and a six-Inch wrought iron plate immediately back ot it, 30 feet of oak back ing, another wrought iron plate, 10.5 inches in diameter, and, finally, a fourth wrought iron plate two inches thick,vor a total thick ness of 36,5 inches of armor plating. The projectile was found broken in the last plate. Rollins Cold Ml eel Into Wire. Avery important new ipdustry Is the rolling of cold steel bars into wire. The generally accepted idea has always been that cold rolling would destroy tbe fiber of the steel and render the wire so brittle as to be of no practicable value. It is now found, however, that instead ot the wire becoming weakened by the process, its tensile strength is nearly doubled. In other words, tbe tensile strength of hot drawn steel wire is 56,460 ponnds to the square inch, while that of cold rolled steel wire H. 105,800 ponnds. Galvanlo Coating for Plaster Casts, Hitherto in the galvanie eoating of pits, ter casts there has been a difficulty in stop, ping tbe pores of the surface so effectually as to prevent the galvanic bath penetrating into the interior of tbe plaster and there pro ducing first crystallization and then disinte gration. This obstacle appears to have been overoome by the discovery that saturation in tar not onlv closes nTi th nni nf iht, n1 ter. but "adds very considerably to its strength. Specimens to' prepared nave been J covered with copper one millimetre thick, a thickness which is not only sufficient to re sist atmospheric influences, but which en ables tbe surface to be further worked up and finished by hand. The price of a cast coated with copper is said to be one-fifth of the cost of a copper casting. Improvements In Hand-Blnstlnc. In the Improved sand-blasting process there is a jet of steam which creates a vacuum in a cylinder surrounding the blast pipe, rand the incoming dranght of air through an orifice in this takes up the steam and thus dries the sand. Each parti cle of sand is propelled against any desired material at a high speed, and thus a minute indentation is made upon even the hardest substances. Glass, stone, etc., can in this way be readily engraved in a few seconds. Another use to which sand-blasting is putis the sharpening of files. A stream of very fine sand and water id directed against the baok of the teeth of the file with great veloc ity by jets of steam. By this means the curl produced on tbe file by the chisel is ground away and a sharp edge is given to the file. Files may also be resharpeued by this process. The sand-blast is also applied to the cutting of letters on monumental stones and to the cleaning of metallic castings- V A Wise Preeantlon. A firm of chemists in Birmingham, En gland, place upon all poisons sold by them directions as to the antidote which should be applied in cases where the poisons are taken accidentally or intentionally by human beings. An English chemical jour nal gives an instance where this precaution was the means of saving life. A woman poisoned herself and then informed her husband that "she had done it" A medi cal man was at once sent for, but in all probability the woman would have been dead before he arrived but for the fact that her husband chanced to read on the label, which accompanied the poison, the instruc tions: "Give a mixture of chalk and water, milk and magnesia, or carbonate of soda and water, until medical aid can be procured." The result is that the would-be suicide is alive to-day. Chemical la Japan. Dings and chemicals are now constituting a very important feature in the Japanese import trade, large quantities being used for paper and match making, glass works and other industries. The Japanese Gov ernment is itself manufacturer 'of caustic and other sodas, and of sulphuric acid. Medicines for pharmaceutical purposes are also made in Japan on a large scale. One remarkable feature of the import trade is that the importers frequently complain of the great difficulties raised In regard to tbe sale of foreign drugs and medicines, which are constantly rejected by tbe Government analysts as not being up to the standard of the Japanese pharmacopeia, which is higher than the British. Supply and Demand. A writer in a rubberjournal after treating of the growing demand for rubber and the possibilities ot the fnture supply, calls at tention to the fact that one of the earliest references to oaoutchouo as a substance. capacic 01 practical use was maae oy ut, Priestley in the preface of his work on "Per spective," published in 1770. He mentions it as a substance which had just been brought to his notice as admirably suited for rubbing ont pencil marks, and as being then sold at the rate ot three shillings sterling for a cubical bit of about half an inch. Canal Projects In France, There are now under consideration two projects, which, if carried out, will have an immense effect on the trade of France. The first is the project ot making Paris into a port by canalizing the Seine, so that sea going vessels can make the passsge from Havre to Paris. Tbe second proposal is for the construction of a canal to connect the Mediterranean with the Bay of Biscay, with the intention of intercepting a great part of tbe shipping whioh at present passes through the Straits of Gibraltar. ' Paper Tool Handles. An engineer of Manchester, England, is introducing a novelty in paper, viz., paper file hafts and tool handles, which are said to be practically indestructible and muoh cheaper than wood or malleable iron hafts. Placed under a steam hammer, although they can be flattened, they cannot be split or cracked. THE TICKERS' REUNION. Plttibnre Telegrapher-.

"Er good 'eal de matter, sah, dat's whut I has been er settin yere er thlnkin', an I has come ter er mighty p'Inted 'elusion." "What conclusion ha,ve you come to?" "Ueber mine, I know."

"What is the cause?" "Neber mine, I knows what de cause is." "Yes, but you wouldn't mind telling me, would you?" "Ob, no, caze it ain't no secret De cause, sah. is de impatibly o' de temper." "And yon have come to the conclusion den jes cr mlnit er go, sah." "How long have you been married?" "Tjemme see," the old fellow rejoined, scratching his head. "Whut time is it now?" "About 13 o'clock." "Wall, sah, I reckons I has been married er bout fo' hours an' er ha'f." "You don't say sol" "Yas, I does say so. Ef I hadn't said to, you wouldn't know nothin' er bout it" "What!

"Fellow citizens," exclaimed the quiet looking man in the drab suit, as he mounted a table at the ward caucus after securing recognition from the Chair, "in rising to put in nomination for the responsible office to which the nominee of this convention will undoubtedly be elected by a large ma jority, I name a man who has not been men tioned this evening. I shall say nothing against the gentlemen already placed in nomination. So far as I know they are all good men. But Mr. Chairman and fellow citizens, in my judgment tbe time has come when this ward should be represented in tbe City Council by one of its best citizens one whose character is above reproach, who un derstands our wants, and who has the ability and the energy to discbarge properly the duties of his office. I, therefore, nominate for Alderman of this ward, Israel O'Mal ley." "Where Is his saloon?" yelled a hundred voices. "Gentlemen," answered the speaker, "Mr. O'Mal ley is not in the saloon business at all. On the contrary, bo is a strictly tem perate man, a moral, up-right, high-minded citizen who" And amid wild cries of "Kill the blag yardl" "Trow him out de buildin'l" "Batsl" "Wot are ye givin' us!" "Out him out!" and "Punch his head!" the man in the drab suit was fired out into the alley through a rear window and the outraged and insulted patriots of the ward settled down to business again. NAMED THEM AFTER THE LORD. Old Pete Bobinson, who lives at Worsham, Va., is a pious negro, who jogged along with his wife for many years, naming anew baby every year until 17 unbleached olive branches bore scriptural names.
