THE IRONWORKER. BY MAURICE BROWN* KIRRY. We've henrd about the sojer an' his pun. We've heard about the farmer an" his plow. We've heard about the sailor an' his fun; We've heard übout the cowboy an' his cow. , Now. as long as singin' heroes is the style, An' if no one takes exception to my rhyme, I'll have a bit to say in a humble sort of way On a hero who's been workin' overtime. The song he sings is "Clang, clang, clang!" The tune he plays is "Hang. bang, bang!" Ills motto is, "We're killed, but we seldom ever die." An' his motto often gits him In a gang. Did you ever see him sett in' on a beam. With nothln' to grab hold of but tfie air? So fur above your head It made him seem, Like a crazy kid that wouldn't take a dare? Did you ever pause to think about the risk, How death is always glarin' in his face? Just contemplate a bit, an' I'll bet you you'll admit A battlefield's a durn sight safer place. He doesn't wear no purty stripes nor bars; We haven't struck a medal for him yet. His only decoration Is his scars; He's a hero that the public never met. When his motto comes an' ketches him for good An' rubs his number off the pay day list. There's a husky, sun browned mob stand in' by to take his job. An', bar his wife an' kids, he's never missed. The daily papers have a lot to say On the nervy cops an' firemen round the city. Of how they risk their lives most every day An* very often lose 'em. more's the pity. But a little h'istin' injine on u spree is bad as any fire as ever raged. An' there's more black, willful murder in a careless swingin' girder Than in any thug the coppers ever caged. So when you've had your song an' drink an' shout An' every single hero's got his due. When you're scatterin' the laurel wreath about, If you chance to have a extry leaf or two, An' you're lookin* for a hero sure enough, A sojer man in progress' foremost ranks, Crown the man who builds our vessels, bridges, bulldin's, towers an' trestles. Grasp his hand, drink his health an' give him thunks. The song he sings is "Clang, clang, clang!" The tune he plays is "Bang, bang, bang!" His motto Is, "We're killed, but we seldom ever die." An' his motto often gits him In a gang. —Life. Cliinene to Flglit Exclanion. The Chinese are preparing to make a vigorous light against the re-enactment of the Geary exclusion law. A procla mation! has been issued by the Chinese Six Companies requiring every "Chink" in the United States to contribute at once the sum of sl, the fund thus raised to be used in the effort to defeat exclusion. In order to compel the pay ment of the assessment the proclama tion states that if payment is not made within one month the amount exacted will lie doubled, and delinquents who fail to pay within two months will have their assessment doubled once more. Lest some still seek to evade the enforced contribution the procla mation adds that Chinese desiring to return to China will be compelled to exhibit a receipt showing that they have made payment, and in default of such receipt they will be fined $lO. This proclamation Is to be distributed all over the country.—Social Demo cratic Herald. HC'M Had Enoagh. \V. J. Chalmers is the ruling spirit of the Allis-Chaimers company of Chica go, which has been lighting the ma chinists' union's demand for a nine hour day and increase in wages. The strike has been on for months, and it lias been understood that the company was making the fight of the National Metal Trades association. In conced ing the union's demand for nine hours Mr. Chalmers said: "I have been deserted by the other employers who forced me into this fight. I here and now make this sol emn declaration that under no circum stances will I in the future enter into any deal with any manufacturers to fight labor. I am going out for my own interests hereafter." OASTOHIA. Bears the /) Tto Kind You Have Always Bought SEVEN FEET OF LIGHTNING The I.nri;eKt Electrical Spark Ever Produced In u Laboratory. The largest spark of lightning that can be produced artificially is a little ander seven feet long. Such a spark, which is of practical use in the study of the phenomena of lightning, may be seen at the Jefferson Physical labora tory at Harvard university, where it is produced by the tremendous power of 3,000.000 volts of electricity, or sev eral thousand times the power used in electrocuting a criminal. It lias been found also that a higher voltage can not produce a longer spark. The battery used at the Cambridge laboratory consists of 20.000 cells and has a total electromotive force of übout 0,000.000 volts, a greater power than that of any other laboratory battery in this country and probably in the world. When the battery is operated in a darkened room, the reason why even the full current cannot produce a spark longer than that made by only half its total power becomes readily apparent. Not only does the current of electric ity flash from one terminal sphere of the transforming machine to the other, making an exact reproduction of light ning without the thunder, but from both terminals and from the long row of conducting plates there is a simulta neous brush discharge, so called, close ly resembling the effect of "heat light ning." The high electromotive force of the battery has apparently broken down the resistance of the air, a result sim ilar to that of a diminished air pres sure. The main discharge of electric ity that would have otherwise passed between the terminals passes through the air to the floor and walls. As the electromotive force increases more and more electricity is given off toward floor and walls, and the length of the spark between the terminals is there fore permanently limited. With this same apparatus, if it could be elevated into the rarelied atmos phere in which real lightning occurs and where neither floors nor walls can attract and dissipate the discharge, an equal electromotive force would prob ably produce a very real and terrify ing lightning flash, the length of which would represent more accurately the tremendous power that occasioned it. The passage of this powerful spark through various substances is natural ly very much like the effect of a light ning stroke. It has been shown by ex periments that the shattering and dis ruptive effects of lightning are very probably due to the expansion of con fined air, as, for example, when the holt enters an old tree, or to the sud den formation of steam -the high elec tromotive force, that is to say, breaks down the resistance of the air and at the same time transforms the moisture of the air into steam, thus producing an explosion that rends any surround ing substance. Tlianpt. The American lady who signs her self Octave Thanet is a little weak in her geography. She is quoted as say ing that, wanting a pseudonym, she saw the word "Thanet" chalked on a railroad truck and at once accepted it as suitable. "Anyhow I adopted it on the spot because it might he Scotch (there is, I believe, an isle of Thanet), or it might be French." Let her hunt up the map of England and turn to the county of Kent, the land of the cherry. There she will And her Thanet at its eastern extremity, for it is neither Scotch nor French. — New York Tribune. MlKNlHMippra Patrick Henrya. For a number of years Mississippi lias sent a Patrick Henry to congress, and the Third district of that state is now represented by Mr. Patrick Hen ry. He does not claim, as many Pat rick Ilenrys do, to be the only and sole lineal descendant of the immortal pa triot, but he comes from that famous branch of the family Just the same. Mr. Henry is the nephew of Patrick Ilenry, who represented the Seventh district in the last two congresses.

All icicle dropping into a barrel of unslaked lime started a fire in one of the buildings at the new state capitol at Jackson, Miss., a few days ago. The watchman turned in an alarm. The firemen threw water upon the tire, but that caused hundreds of barrels of lime to ignite, and the building was speedily destroyed, the department de voting its attention to saving the new structure and adjoining buildings.

When a master workman in n fur manufactory is cutting up skins, lie is literally cutting money. Skins once passed for frontier money, but their value is now much greater than in the early days, and it would be less costly to cut a garment from ten dollar bills than to cut it from some skins. The cutting is quite an interesting feature of the work. To prepare a mink or sable, for example, the skin must be slashed into strings, narrow pieces more or less irregular in shape, which are afterward sewed together. There may be a thousand pieces in a single cloak, the new and beautiful skins being literally cut to pieces be fore they are manufactured. The ob ject of this is to lengthen the skins. The sable, for example, say two feet in length, will be drawn out to four feet and all its markings preserved, so that it looks like a very long, but well proportioned, skin. The original skin Is so cut to pieces that it may all be "matched" again in the elongated shape.—World's Work. A Wild Hide. A peasant was recently gathering dry wood in a forest near Kustnmuni when a bear suddenly appeared before him. The frightened man sought ref uge in the branches of a tree, which broke, and the peasant fell at the feet of the bear. Ilruin was quite overcome with surprise, so much so that the. peasant, who preserved his presence of mind, was instantly astride the beast, using his ears as bridle. The bear tried ineffectually to throw him and then, starting on a wild run, issu ed from the forest and approached a village. The rider shouted loudly for help, and in a few minutes the whole population turned out armed with guns and scythes. A crack shot fired a bullet into the bear's head, and the peasant was able to leave his mount unhurt.—Kastamuni (Turkey) Official Journal. A Case In Tolnt. ; Mrs. Manning—John.
