i of experimenting on a large scale. The I
story I muirt tell is I heard it from an j
intimate friend of Bessemer and is a
true tale.
After Bessemer had in his small !
laboratory experimented with the mert
! als and at last obtained the desired re- ;
suit by blowing air through melted iron i
j he found in the bottom of the cruci'ble !
a little lump of the famous steel. Now !
[ the question was how to make the dis- '
| covery public. He put the lump of I
steel into his pocket and made hU way '
to Nasinyth of steam hammer fame. !
Placing the metal on Nasmyth's degk, I
he told him that he had made this ex- :
traordinary discovery, which would rev- !
olut ionize the whole metal world.
Then came n little incident which
shows what wonderful heads these
Scotch financiers possess. "What do you
think Nasrayth said to his excited in
ventor f
" Bh, mon, it's vary risky to show
your wonderful invention, The world
is vary dishonest."
To which the aspiring inventor re
plied:
"Right, Mr. Nasmyth. I just calcu
lated who 1 was coming tn see, so with
my last half crown I registered the in
vention on my way."—London Stand

SCHOOLS IN ARABIA
Pupils Sit Swaying on the Floor as
They All Study Aloud
In the schools of Arabia the chil
dren, with the schoolmaster, sit upon
the floor or the ground in a semi
circle and each has a tablet of wood
which is painted *hite and upon which
the lessons are written. When the
latter are learned they are washed
out and replaced bv other lessons.
During study hours the Arab schools
remind one of the Chinese, for the
children all study aloud, and as they
chant they rock back and forth like
trees in a storm, and this movement is
continued for an - hour or more at a
time. The schoolmaster rocks back
and forth also, aud altogether the
school presents a most novel appear
ance as well as sound. Worshipers in
the mosques always move about while
reciting the Koran, a* this movement
is believed to assist the memory.
