GEORGE B. TUT.TLE; Exchange Officer. , M6-6t Th Plash of Osnlus Which Provided the World With a Now Metal Rob art Maihot's Dtvlee -Captain Bill Jonta and Andrew Csrntgi,. As late as tlio middle of the last cen tury cheap steel was unknown. If wo then sold ot 25 centa a pound The railroad were using; Iron rslli which wore out In less tbnn two yfiim And the total output of lrjn and steel In o year wos loss than Is now made lu four daya. Then camo to William Kelly, a l'lttx burg Irish-American, that flash of gen lus which provided tlio world with a new nietiil, something as strong as steel and as cheap aa Iron. ' Kelly waa an Iron maker and needed charcoal. In tlnie,all the wood near his furnaces was burned, and tbV near em available source of supply waa seven miles distant. To cart his char coal seven mill's meant bankruptcy un less he could Invent a way to save fuel. Quo day he was sitting in front of the "tlnery fire" when he suddenly sprang to his feet, wllti a shout, and rushed te tho furnace. At one edge he saw a white bot spot In the yellow mass of molten metul. The iron at this spot was incaudesccnt. It was almost gas eous, let tliere was no ensrcoai nothing but tho steady blast of air. Like n flush the Idea leaped Into his excited brain-there waa no need of charcoal; air alone for fuel. . lint iwoplti khIiI he was crazy when Kelly nsiterled that pig iron could be changed Into malleable Iron by the air blunt, for every Iron maker believed In those days that cold air would chill hot Iron. "Home crank will be trying to burn Ice next." sold one manufactur er, and Kelly, through lack of means, ?ould not turn his Idea Into the sue ws be deserved. Then, seven years later, came Besse mer, wbo made the new proem a com mercial succetis by the Invention of bis celebrated "converter" and received 110,000,000, worldwide fame and a knighthood as his reward. Kelly re ceived $500,000 and comparative obliv ion, although his Idea wsa the nu cleus of the rW'Ksemer process by which Iron l purified from, carbon by (bo direct Introduction of oxygen, for when Ik'KHcmcr applied for and ob tained a rolled Ktates patent for his 'pneumatic process" Kelly claimed pri ority for bis Invention, and bis claim was allowed by the patent office. Another pioneer of the stet'l trade. Robert K. Munliet, a Scotsman, who hit upon a device for removing a difficulty that baflled Kelly and Bessemer, fared even worse than Kelly, for be lost bis patent by falling to pay tbe necessary fees and in his later years wos de pendent upon a pension of f 1,600 which he received annually from Bessemer. The difficulty which M unset removed was this: "Tbe air blast clears tbe molten metal of carbon and of all Impurities, Including sulphur and phosphorus. But a certain quantity of carbon Is neces sary to harden the metal Into the re quired quality of steel. Instead of endeavoring to stop tbe process at exactly tho right moment, Musbet- asked, 'Why not, first burn out all the carbon and then pour bock the exact quantity that you need? This was a simple device, but no one had thought ot It before." The man who took the Invention of Kelly and Bessemer Into his hands, de veloped It Into one of the wonders of tho world and made the Carnegie mil lions was Captain William R. Jones- Bill Jones, as he was known who seemed to live with the sole desire of toppling over the idea that England owned the steel trade. ITe could have been ft millionaire many times over, but he cared little for money. When he was offered a partnership he replied: "No, Sfr. Carnegie, I don't know any thing about busluess, and I don't want to bo bothered with it. I've got trouble enough licre. In these works. I'll tell you wunt you can uo- inese were nis exact words "you can give me a thundering big salary." . ' "After this, captain," replied Car negie, "you shall hove the salary of the president of the United States $25. 000." The famous scrap heap policy was originated by Jones. Fie did not be lieve In waiting until his machinery was worn out. The moment that an Improvement was Invented old ma chinery was dragfted to the scrap benp and tho latest devices put m Its pluee. Ho made tho shareholders gasp on sev eral occasions by asking permission to smash up $500,000 worth of machinery that was ns good as sow. but outgrown. Jones died, as he had lived, In the midst of an Industrial battle at the head of his men. lie was killed In an nccldeut In the company's works.

In 1872 there wis a great deal of diarrhoea, dysentary and cholera in fantum, it was at this time that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought into use. It proved more successful than any other remedy or treatment, and has for thirty-five years main tained that record. From a small be ginning its sale and use has extended to every part of the United States and to many foreign countries. Nine druggists out of ten will recommend it when their opinion is asked, al though they have other medicines that pay them a greater profit., It can always be depended upon, even in the most severe and dangerous cases. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. Humana and Cigars. "Some people," said the smoker, "re mind me of a Vlsar that burns dowu one side faster, thau tbe other. I sup pose; you will say that this is because of an uneveuness in temperame-nt which makes, them well, uot wear smoothly or lu u;i all around fashion. That may be the obvious parallel to draw, but I was thinking of something else. They saem to me like an uneven ly buruiug cigar because their tendency Is to get ahead of .themselves. They overstep themselves in some Important particular or other. They are too eager, for one thing, and the'y show it. They are too anxious for another, and they show that. They are too desirous of pleasing others for a third. They burn down, lu effect, too quickly on one tide, and most of them never under stand what is the trouble. I'm not much of a philosopher, but I can see that when in the daily routine we show our hand too much, or, rather, get into a state of mind when. we can't help showing our banc, the,' all around re sults are not opt to be especially satls- flctory. To follow out the cigar simile, we consume too rast along a special line of weakness, nd a little wind of unpleasantness or misfortune will make the calamity worse." New Work Press.
