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. "Cnr
r.oglo, looking upon poor Jones as he
hy In the hospital, sobbed like n child."

The Daily Market Report
PORT, LAND, July 21,-Conditions
in this state arc ripe for an advance in
butter price, and but for the fact tltat
Eastern quotation arc now relatively
law there would be an upward move
ment here at this time. With the pas
tures drying up more or less" gener
ally the cream supply it growing
xuallcr and butter production is na
turally on- the decline. The state,
however, still produces a surplus over
curren) home ncds, though that sur
plus is much lighter than a
alio, and for thi reason
markets are still necessary,

Over Thirty-Five Years.
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.
Bad breath has probably broken off
more matches than bad temper, and
that's a good many. Thebest cure for
