An Improvable Metal.
The alloy known as Delta Metal,
which was patented some live or
six years ago by Alexander Dick, a
Dane, ia simply brass with a large
percentage ot zinc and a email
quantity of iron, or some similar
metal like manganese or aiumin
ium. Io the proportion of sixty
parts of copper to forty parts of
zinc, with lew hundredths tit
other metal, tbe alloy is stated to
be a moat interesting product on
account of tbe resdineso with which
it may forged and stamped at a red
heat, of its steel-like strength and
toughness, of its inalterability io
the atmosphere, and its low cost
said to be not greater than that of
ordinary brass. The tact tnat
these remarkable properties, now
so long known, have not lead to
more general use, is explained by
the difficulty of melting the mix
ture without loss ot the xine, which
is volatilized at about tbe fusing
temperature of the alloy, and is
also rapidly oxodizedin tbe air.
A Traraltmc 8 loon.
Tbe most ingenious method for
beating tbe no-license law can be
laid to tbe credit of Brockton
Massachusetts. This is what is
called, .or want of a better
term, a traveling saloon. Tbe
saloon is a big woman who wears
a rubber belt around her waist fill
ed with pockets in which are
whisky and rtm. When she Sees a
customer she simply raises her
jersey, turns a ttupcock in a flex
ible tube and permits tne liquor io
run into a tin cup which she car
ries in her pocket. The customer
drinks, pays.she smooths down her
jersey, puts tbe cup in her pocket
and bunts np another customer.
The Vrnnsl Arnsy.
How long the Grand Army of
tbe Republic may survive as a dis
tinct and important organization mat
be gwessed from a glance at the
number of Harrison's voters in 1840
wbo voted for President Harrison's
grandson in November. In Iowa
there was a club of 3,000 of thete
men and in Ohio the roll of 1840
Harrison's voters reached 6,831.
The Iowa members' names, ages and
places of residence, in 1840 as well as
in 1888 were published by the Des
Moines Register, Their ai;es ranged
from nixty-nine to niuety-seven. Al
lowing i r the fact that the soldier
lischarirod in lta miKnt nave Deeu
but eighteen years old while the
voter of 1840 must have been 21, it
appears that the presidential election
of 1916 will beat abo-jt the same re
lation to the Orand Army vetvraus
that the election of 1888 bore to the
voters for William Henry Harrison.
But after that distant year th
"soldier vote" unless we have had
some more wars in the meantime
will have ceased to be a terror to the

General Dan Sickles, of New
Yora, is down here on som law
business, and looks as hale and
vigorous, for all the eye could tell,
as he did twenty years ago. He
has an enormous fund of vitality
to draw upon. His crutches come
as near making up for that lost leg
as ia possible. Let him get bis
back to a wall and bis dexter crutch
is as formidable a weaoon as can
be imagined. It is a quarter staff,
a Highland claymore and a Nan
tucket harpoon in one. Woe to
tbe unfortunate wight wbo pre
sumes too much on his seeming
crippled condition. He is as ag
gressive to-day as when be took up
tbe case of the English Erie bond
holders and captured Jay Gould's
meet:n by main force, or, further
back, when he pushed his division
half a mile abead of the line of
battle at Gettysburg. There is a
story about him which perhaps has
never seen print before. Many
tragic events weie overlooked in
those five years of tragedy.
He was marching a brigade of
troops down tr the front through
Pennsylvania; New York Z uuvca,
recruited from the Bowery and
Five Poipts toughs freru the word
go. Innutiiir.iine depredations
were being committed all aloug
tbe line of march. Finally, all
else failing, General dickies issued
an order that the next man to break
ranks to forage without permission
would be suot. He as riding
uown to the rear, when a man lett
tbe ranks, sprang over the wall
and gathered in an armful of
turnips. He tried to avoid seeing
the Soulier, but with an air ot
bravado tbe tough got in fiont of
his horse and sung out :
"Fine turnips, general; have
some?"
-Did you hear the order read,"
said Sickles, sternly, "forbidding
all foraging?"'
"Ye."
"D you know that you are liv
able to be shot for disobeying
orders?"
Yes," answered the insolent
maraaoer, "bin, yeu, you
uoo't dare do it."'
C-r-r.ick ! the solditr lay dead in
