ldent and Secretary of State did not feel Justified in sending any expressions of regret. POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCEProbably a majority of both houses of Congress had been driven from the city by the heat, but among those who- remained there was much speculation over whether the assassination had any political significance or was the deed of a crank- The trend of opinion was towards the latter belief. . . Poreign representatives and officials acquainted with French politics say that Carnot was essentially a safe man, one whom the Freiu.. people relied on while they did not gush over him or accord to him the dramatic following they ' have given leaders of the stripe of Boulanger. Carnot was considered an aesthetic, a hardworkirt; man. and, had what may (be termed a solid popularity. Cabinets have changed often In France of late, but there has been no talk of deposing Carnot. It la said that he could have been re-elected and no one was willing to venture a prophecy as to who his successor will be, conceding that it will be next to an impossibility to find, a Frenchman to fill his chair and act the part of balance wheel as largely as he has. Much curiosity is expressed to know whether the feeling between France and Italy, which has lately been formed by the labor troubles, furnished any motive for the assassination. Said Senator Morgan, chairman of the foreign relations committee: "This is a blow at the peace and Justice and civilization of the world. France in her long and eventful history has had for leaders more brilliant men than Carnot, greater men, probably, as the world goes, but the French people have never had a President of broader statesmanlike views -on all great questions or one who had made greater sacrifices for her prosperity than he. And In return for his devotion the French believed In him. He was popular with all rlzht thinking men and women throughout the nation, and one whom no slander had ever injured in their estimation." Senator Morgan was a . member of the Paris Bering sea arbitration commission, and In common with other members was presented to President Carnot and saw Quite a srood deal of him while In Paris. In his intercourse with him the Senator said his manner was more democratic than one would naturally look for In a Frenchman. He had a scholarly face, and In hU bearing could easily be mistaken for a college professor. He was always frank and cordial, and Impressed one as being thoroughly sincere in all he said and did. He was Just such a man as France needs for her President conservative, lawabiding and law-enforcing, and it may be to those admirable Qualities he owes his death. As is well known the administration of justice is very prompt in France and sometimes severe, and it Is not improbable that he has gained the enmity of the anarcnistlc element bv his straightforward, businesslike dealings with crime. HOW IT AFFECTS US. Senator Morgan was asked whether or not. In view of the assassination of President Carnot and the recent attempt on Caprlvi. our own government' should take greater care to protect the President from possible danger. The Senator did not think any extra precautions would be necessary. "Of course," he said, "it would be wrong to" permit the President to expose himself unnecessarily, but I believe that the' people of the United States think well enough of their Presidents to protect them so far as any protection would be? available. The presence of an unusual guard of troops or Iolice would be constant temptation to evil-disposed persons." The Senator spoke of an interview that he had on one occasion with President Carnot, during which he spoke of the high regard he had for , the United States, our institutions' and our' people, and he seemed to know our public men quite as well as many of our own people knew them. The Senator spoke feelingly of his death, and said that it filled him with profound sorrow and indignaton that so good a man as Camot should be strcken down by the hands of an assassin. Representative Hitt, of Illinois, who w-as charge d'affaires at Paris during the eventful years from 1S74 to 1SS1. and in the last Congress was chairman of ths foreign affairs committee of the House, spoke of the dead President as a man of pure life and unsullied character and reputation. No man in France, in his opinion, was ha'.d In higher esteem or more thoroughly deserved the confidence and love of the people than he. When Mr. Hitt first became acquainted with him he was a member of the. Assembly, and was regarded as entirely safe and conservative qn all important national questions. At that time ha was overshadowed somewhat by Gambetti and Jules Ferry, who were both great orators, but he steadily grew In the estimation of the people, who recognized in him the qualities that Franc needed as a leader. Mr. Hitt said he could not understand what possible motive there could be In the killing-. "It seems," he said, "like malignant Inlanltv, and nothing less. His life had been without reproach, and in all the years that I spent in France I never heard .an aspersion against his character. The motive might have been revenge for the execution of Vaillant. as it was well known that the President had withstood every appeal and every influence that was brought to bear to save the culprit's life. This will, very likely, be found to be the cause of his assassination." Senator Sherman, ex-chairman of the committee on foreign relations, was visibly affected on hearing the news of Carnot's death, and exclaimed: "This Is a crime against civilization. I regard Carnot as one of the strongest men that Frarce has had in many years. He could always be trusted to do the sensible thing on every occasion. He was thoroughly republican in all of his ideas, and had the greatest admiration and respect for America and Americans." Senator Sherman met him in Paris four years ago. a id recalled the reception given on the fourth day of July, In commemoration of Independence day. On that occasion President Carnot spoke of America as the model republic of the world, and he spoke for her a glorious future. Senator Sherman was greatly impressed by the sincere and unostentatious manner of the French President, and said he Considered him one of the greatest, if not the most brilliant, man France had ever known. EMBASSADOR PATRENOTRE. M. Patrenotre, the French embassador, had not. up to a late hour to-night, received any information from his government concerning the assassination. He was informed of the assassination early in the evening and was rendered almost neechless as he realized Its full extent. At first he was Inclined to question the Information, but as he became fvlly convinced that it was true he asked eagerly for further information . and expressed deepest emotion and sorrow. He waited Impatiently for news from his government, htit none came and he at length retired to Clifton, his summer residence, leaving orders that any messages obtainable should be promptly sent to him. He accounted for the fact that he did not receive a cablegram from his government by the excitement which he knew prevailed in Pirls and Lyons and also the fact that on Sunday almost all the officials go to the country for the day. The embassador did not want to talk of the probable successor to President Carnot. but said that there was no Vice President, and a successor would he elected by the combined ballot of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. He said he could not account for the assassination of the President, who was extremely popular with the people, and who was about to complete his term of service, having positively declined re-election. He could not. he said, think of any class which could "have desired the death of M. Carnot. Secretary Gresham learned of the assassination from the early bulletins, and was much affected by them. The news was carried to the President by Secretary Thurber as the two were starting out for a Srive early in the evening. Mr. Cleveland ras deeply shocked by the assassination, peaking of it repeatedly during the drive with earnest regret and sorrow. All during the evening the news, as It arrived, telling the details of the affair, was soueht with interest at the White House. The announcement, which came shortly after ) o'clock, that President Carnot was dead, was immediately told the President, who had hoped up to that time that the account of Mr. Carnot's iniuries was exaggerated and that he would live. As soon as official information is received from our representatives in France the President will at once send a message to the French government expressing the sympathy and sorrow of the United States at the sad calamity which has befallen the sister republic. He saw the President as soon as the latter returned from hi. drive, but no official action was taken, awaiting word from exSenator Eustlce. our emb assador in France. Word from this official was anxiously awaited, but none had come up to late tonight. AMERICAN PRESS COMMENTS.

Universal Sorrow from All Over the Inlted Mates. x Following are some of the numeroui press comments from all parts of the united States received last night on the assassination: Kansas City Journal: The assassination cf President Carnot brings the world face to face with a unlvertsil problem of th tmf. Shall the regulation of society oy

systematized government prevail or shall the disartectlon of the turbulent-minded be allowed to build an era of terrorism upon the stem foundation of Individual discontent? The spirit which nerved the arm of Carnot's assassin is harbored in one form or another In every land having a civilized government. It lurks in every nation under the guise of personal liberty. It is encouraged by the cowardice of place seekers. Omaha Bee: In assassinating the heai of the French republic the Anarchists havs Invoked the re-establishment of imperial Ism. "The empire means peace." wai Juis Napoleon's motto, and all the royalists and imperialists of France will re-ecln the utterance of the man who overthrew the second republic by the dastardly coup d'etat of December, 1S52. That the loya., patriotic and liberty-loving citizens of France will not give up the republic without a heroic struggle goes without saying, but the recent anarchistic uprising indicates a condition of affairs that may require drastic measures and a great deal ot blood letting. The American people more, perhaps, that those of any other friendly nation, sympathize with the xeople of France in their ordeal and bereavement. San Francisco Call: One of tho3e Inexplicable purposes which sometimes find a lodgment in the hearts of men prompted the taking of the life of one of the truest patriots who have given their lives to their country In the present century. There, is nothing in the circumstances of Carnot's death to inspire distrust of the existing form of government. On ths contrary, the blood of the martyr will nourish the republic If all were not republicans when the assassin stole upon his victim, all are now. Pittsburg Dispatch: The assassination of President Carnot was one of those Infernal deed3 which disHgure history and cast a doubt upon the genuineness of modern civilization. In some important respects the assassination of President Carnot parallels that of President Lincoln. Like Lincoln, he was struck down in the presence of the peopl? who were doln? honor to his great services, and hia assassin was evidently, like the murderer of Lincoln, insensate to all thoughts save the notoriety of committing a murder that would hand his name down to the execration of the ages.. Cincinnati Enquirer: As to the cause of the crime it Is almost idle to talk. Prob.illy the murderer himself did not clearly understand the purpose that he had in view. A presidential election was impending and M. Carnot was the leading and would probably have been the successful candidate. But there was no heat to speak of In the canvass nothing such as we have in one of our pr.1dential contests. Indeed, as the Enquirer explained yesterday, It wns not a contest before the people, but before a Parliament, the members of which were long since chosen, and whose views were mostly known. It would seem to us like the crime of Ravaillac. Its political effects may be far reaching. The tumultuous portion of the French, especially that of . the large cities, is eager for another war with Germany. President Camot believed that the welfare of his country, even its safety, lay in continued peace. Thus his enemies came to call him the friend of Prussia, It may be that this had to do with his shocking death, and certainly it will play an important part in the fierce contest for the succession bound to result from his untimely taking cff. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The assassInation of President Carnot may be said to carry with it a peril to the French republic. It Is true this governmental system has lasted much longer than any other which France has had since the overthrow of Louis XVI, more than a century ago. The peril now Is far less serious, but there Is a peril, nevertheless. There are cyclonic elements always present in the political atmosphere of France, and infinitely smaller causes than the assassination of her executive have often started the tempest. Denver Republican: The assassination of Sadi-Carnot was entirely without excuse and ranks as one of the most unprovoked and brutal murders In history. Nothing was to be gained for the cause of liberty by the murder of a man who always had shown himself to be a friend of the people and a devoted supporter of republican Institutions. It would indicate that the spirit of anarchy is rife In France. Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette: The climax of anarchv in France was reached last night when In the crowded streets of Lyons an assassin made an attempt on the life of M. Sadi-Carnot. President cf the French reoubllc, resulting in his death three hours later. France has long been the Mecca of the Anarchists of the world, and Carnot has been the one central figure at whom their revengefulness has been aimed. The period has come when France must either crush anarchy or the republic itself be stamped out and a return come to the terrible days of the commune. Chicago Herald: Next to the world-wide sorrow that a magistrate so amiable and so upright should be thus foully slain will be the startling realization that modern civilization is again face to face with a propaganda which gives no quarter and accepts none, and against which mankind must unite for the preservation of all that has been won during, many centuries of progress. New York World: It would be difficult to conceive of . more cruel, cowardly and wanton crime than the assassination of M. Carnot. Of all European rulers he should have been the last to fall a victim to a murderous impulse. Ry his fidelity and uprightness he won the confidence of his own people and the respect of European sovereigns, and his term of service witnessed the "restoration of France to her ancient place among the nations.

(Concluded from First Page.) once taken to Lyons, and arrangements were soon perfected with the railway company and in a short time, in company wiih two of her daughters, who were weeping "bitterly, she was speeding to Lj'ons in the hope that they would arrive there to find the reports of the President's condition exaggerated. The Journey is about 315 miles by rail, and before the train had proceeded more than a dozen miles a dispatch was handed aboard of it from one of the stations, where it ha4 been signaled to stop, announcing that M. Carnot was dead. It would be difficult to express at this time an opinion of any value as to the result of the assassination on the future of France. That political cabals will be formed to secure the election of M. Carnot's successor goes without saying, but the time in which such combinations can be formed will be limited. The most prominent name in connection with the presidency is that of M. Casimir-Perier, some time Prime Minister, and now President of the Chamber of Deputies. That he is well qualified to fill the position Is conceded, but It Is scarcely believed that he can be elected without a bitter struggle. The political situation, complicated, now becomes more so, and he would be a Wise prophet who could foretell the next President of the Republic. , 31. CARXOT'S CAREER. Came from a. Line of Distinguished French Republicans. Marie Francois Sadi-Carnot was born at Limoges In 1S37. The son and grandson of most distinguished republican statesmen, he was brought up as a civil engineer, and graduated with the highest honors at the Ecole Polytechnique in 1857, and subsequently at the famous Ecole des Ponts et Chaussees in 1S63. After having acted as government engineer in several provincial districts he was, in 1S71, appointed 'prefect of the Seine Department, which includes the civil governorship of Paris and its suburbs, and took a prominent part in organizing the; national defense against the German Invaders. A few months later he was elected by the Cote d'Or district to represent them .In the National Assembly, and after taking his seat became the organizing secrjtary of the republican Left party in the Chamber. In 1876 he was elected by the inhabitants of the district of Beaune to represent their interests In Parliament. In 187S he was appointed Under Secretary of State for the Ministry of Public Works. In 1S80 he became Minister of the same department in the Cabinet of M. Jules Ferrj-. On the resignation of the latter. In 1855. he was reappointed to the same Ministry In M. He.irl Brlsson's Cabinet, and on the resignation of M. Clamargerau. , a few months later, he succeeded him as Minister of Finance, an office which he likewise held In thz Goblet Ministry. In 1SS7 he was elected President of the French Republic, succeeding Jules Grevy. M. Carnot was a candidate for e-electlon, and presumably th; most popular in the Held. He was what might be termed a moderate republican of the Ferrj- and Freycint type. Besides b-lng one of the foremost civil engineers of France. M. Sadi-Carnot was a distinguished political economist and a fervent admirer of the late John Stuart Mill, of whose works he published a French translation. His skill In dealing with intricate questions of national finance resulted in his being repeatedl: elected member of the Parliamentary budget committers M. Carnot was one of the few French statermen of the present day -whose pan history was absolutely un impeachable oid whose political and private character wis untarnished by any kind of blemWh. lUe

most striking proof thereof was given in the Wilson-Dreyfus scandal, when M. SadiCarnot, notwithstanding all the pressure brought to bear upon -him by President Grevy and his son-in-law, absolutely declined to give his sanction as Minister of Finance to the illegal repayment by t'ie national treasury of certain dues which had been paid by them to M. Dreyfus. Rather than give way he preferred to incur the bitter enmity of the Elysee. which resulted In his 'being forced to wlth'draw from the Cabinet a few w?ek3 later and to make way for a less conscientious Minister of Finance. In electing M. Sidl-Carnot to the presidency of the republic the Senators and Deputies unUcirbU'ily remembered this rare instance of official integrity, and determined to give a new demonstration to the ancient axiom thlt honesty is, after all. the best policy. His wife, who Is a c'harmlng and most talented woman, is the daughter of the late M. Dupont-White, the distinguished political economist and French prototype of John Stuart Mill. Mme. Sidi-Carnot is one of the best-read women in Fran-ce. is an excellent linguist, dresses in perfect taste, and, although elegant, is exceedingly quiet and unassuming. She ha3 four daughters, of whom two are married and have children, and one boy, a bright English-looking lad of about seventeen. M. Carnot's father, who was 'Minister, of Public Instruction In the republican government of IS 18, and w'ho, together with General Cavalgnac, refused to take the oath of allegiance to Napoleon III In 185L was cne of the most popular statesmen and distinguished scientists and authors in France. The name of his grandfather also figures prominently in Frenrti history as one of the leading members of the convention in the gTeat revolution of 1793. M. Carnot's last speech was dellevred at the bano.uet given in his honor. He dwelt on the success of the exhibition, and said the same heart beats In all French breasts when it is known. that the honor, security or rights of the country are at stake. This same union of all Frenchmen formed a guarantee of the march to progress and justice, to which it belonged to France to give an example to the world.

ElItOPEAX COM.ME.VT. AsnMlnlion Paralleled to that of Lincoln nnd Gnrflelil. LONDON, June 25.

McClure's Magazine. Whan I went to the superintendent and asked for work he said, "What can you dor' "Anything. I am large, strong, active and willing. I have been about machinery all my life and want work badly." He touched a button and a boy appeared. "Show this man down to the converting mill and ask Fred if he can do anything for him. Good morning," he said, and my interview was over. I put on my new overalls and jumper and followed my guide down through the mills. We made our way through piles of stock, raw material, rolls, etc.. and came at last to the huge converting mill. The superintendent was found and the word delivered. He glanced at me a moment, then said, not unkindly, "You look good and strong; Jump In and help those fellows there on those vessels." I hardly knew what he meant, but through the smoke and steam I saw some men beneath one of the vessels, or converters, working with sledges and bars to get the bottom off. The mill with Its ponderous and massive cranes, the immense vessels all covered with black scale and soot, the flying sparks, the roaring flames, the lights coming and going, the air filled with steam and smoke, and finally the shrill and deafening noise, awed, confused and even disconcerted me more than I should have liked to acknowledge. I seized the sledge lying near and "Jumped tn." We at last got out the "keys," as they called the wedges which hold the converter together, and by the help of a hydraulic ram took the bottom off. This left a white-hot opening eight feet in diameter and about six feet from the ground, under which we must work. It ssemed to me as though the skin on my neck and hands would burst with the heat. My clothes even steamed and smoked. How I wished I had been anywhere under the sun (good old Sol) rather than under this fiendishly hot sun hanging so very near us. When we had the new bottom on we went up to the platform above the converters and drove the keys home more securely, and stopped anv small hole there might be with "ball stuff." A shrieking engine passed by me and swiftly poured into the converter a "he3t" of iron. Then the blast was turned on, and a cloud of yellow and saffron flame-, mixed with sparks and small particles of metal, rushed out of the mouth of the converter into the air. One of the men caught me by the arm and pulled me away Just in time to save me from being seriously burned, for I we,' not expecting the flame. By noon I was so tired I could hardly stand, but I stuck to it for all I was worth. During the afternoon I frequently fell down because my kne?s were too weak to hold me up. My hands were burned and blistered, and my new overalls were filled with holes burned by flying sparks. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, while working under the platform, I was startled to see a stream of red fire run over the edge of the platform and strike in the midst of some workmen. A9 it touched the wet ground it exploded with a report like that of a cannon. The molten metal flew in every direction. Many workm?n were burned more or less severely, and in the case of one poor fellow It makes me sick still to think of itthe steel came down directly on the head and back. We got him out of the steam and carefully and tenderly cut his burned clothing from him. As we placed him on the stretcher the burned flesh dropped from his bones. When I was relieved at 6 o'clock it seemed as if it would have been utterly impossible for me to live in that mill another hour. I dragged myself to my room and went to bed at once. All that night I tossed and turned my aching 'bones, trying to get into same position less painful than the last. I was tortured by a thousand grotesque fancies, and by the picture of the poor fellow who was burned so badly. At last I got into an uneasy drowse, but I felt as if I had not been asleep a minute when my alarm clock announced to me that it was 4:43 and that I must get up to my 5:10 breakfast. Oh. the misery of that rising and going to the mill! Every boae and sinew -seemed as if made of red-hot iron and the Joints as if ruste'd together. It was a dark, foggy morning I found when, having desperately got up enough will-power to dress, I tumbled out to my boarding house. T'he Pitts'burg smoke and fog are proverbial, but I really think that on that particular morning one might have out tangible chunks out of the black, wet air. The board -walks in Homestead are never in repair, and on t'he way to the mills I stumbled along through mud and stones, over boards and into holes, carrying in my Wand my tin dinner bucket, which contained my rakiday meal. On my first Sunday -we Termed the converter, and it oecame my duty to stand up in the inverted vessel and 'hand up the bill stuff and limestone with which to reline it. The ve?sel had been left to cool simply over night, and I surpose tiie temperature of the dry air inside cf it stood at about 140 degrees. I worked as hard as I could, but near noon I fainted, for the first tbme !n my life. My experience at Home-stead was the experience of the majority of workmen there. Separate Waists. Harper's Bazar. Notwithstanding all that has been said about shirt waists, another chapter couiu be written about them. At Tuxedo, Lakewood, and by visitors In country houses, they are worn in the morning, afternoon and evening, day after day. With one or two well-cut skirts, black biege or white, of canvas, crepon. taffeta or moire, and a variety of pretty waists, one can be suitably dressed for most occasions, and have a varied wardrobe. In the morning Madras or cotton shirts of some becoming color are worn wit a a jacket and skirt of Oxford-gray WvV,:. beige or black canvas, or tan covert suiting. Tie shirt is cut in the simplest tailor fashion, with a yoke back and full front, or else with a stiffly starched shield-shape front with a standing collar. The narrow necktie is of black satin tied In a small bow, and the black belt ribbon has a buckle and slide of silver or gold. For the afternoon, when making calls, the silk vest worn is of checked tafTeta. or of cross stripes, or else with chine flowers. The designs for these are most elaborate, among the favorite being those with drapery across the bust below a yoke of tucks or a lace collar. The Paquln waist, as it la called, is especially chic in checked silks. It has Mas folds across the front like a yoke, with ecru muslin embroidery drooping below, while a collar of the embroidery crosses the back and is pointed on t:ie wide sleeves. This 1 handsom with white or beige canvas skirts, or with taffeta of the color in the check. The chiffon waists worn in the evening are charming when of light colors and made very full over' a silk lining. Sometimes they are striped with insertions of Valenciennes, or of guipure passing around or lengthwise, as is most becoming to the wearer. There are still many accordionpleated chiffon waists, while others are mad of the transparent fluted silks put on with great fullness In the neck, the ahoul-

Few who know him would pretend to doubt the coura-e of "Tom, Iteed under any circumstances. The man who calmly faces tha wrath of the whole Democratic party fend who smiles at the picture of Kllgore kicking down the doors of the House must needs be possessed of at least a few grains of "sand." Incredible e.s It seems, however, there, are times when the big man from Maine is a coward, and confesses there are two persons on earth of whom he is absolutely afraid his wife and his only child. Yet Mrs. Reed is a little woman, pretty and amiable, and Miss Read, who adores her father, is a sweet-faced, brown-eyed, slender girl still in her teens. It is not in prl vate life that Mr. Reed Quails before iiia nwronf pnd dearest ones, but in rublla 'when making a speech that he hates. above all things, to see his wife and daughter looking down upon him from the galleries. The seats may be packed with all sorti of people, as they always are when ho speaks, and If there were bombs in all tnelr pockets "Tom" Reed would go on serenely without fear or favor. But when Mrs. and Miss Reed meekly declare their intention of being two of the spectators he gets weak in the knees. The "czar." the "autocrat,,, the "usurper," the "tyrant" backs down inglorlously and begs his wife and daughter to spare him and stay at home. He does not care a copper for the pubflc but he fears these gentle foes of his own household, and it is a. great relief when he can persuade or bribe them to stay at home. This he often does so far as he knows. The day he made his speech closing tha debate on the tariff Mrs. Reed ano her darghter naturally desired to hear it. so they said quietly but firmly in the morning that they would go to the House. He offered no objection, but In persuasive tones D'.cturtd the discomforts tney would a, s suDlecied to from crowded galleries and bad air. The private gallery, he urged,' would be packed as bad as the rest, ami as for the debate the tariff had already tern talked to death, and had not a shred cf interest left. To all this and much more of like tenor they replied that they enjoyed a crowd nowr and then: that they had no fear of bad air, and if the tariff had be?n talked to death there was nothing they would like so much as to witness the luneral. Then Mr. Reed threw diplomacy to the winds and fell upon his knees, so. to sp?ak, and begged them to spare him the ordeal of their presence at his speech making. "Now, girls," he said, appealingly, "you know I can't do anything if you two ara up there looking at me. Kitty, if I make a failure you and your mother will be responsible. I really think you might stay away and persuade her to, when you know Just how I feel. I can't help it. I don't care a continental for the rest of the world, but I do not want you two in the pallery." What could they do? Well, they did what they had done before apparently yielded to his entreaties and let him start for the Capitol a happier but not wiser man. When he was safely out of sight they put on their bonnets, quietly left the Shoreham, and, boarding a street car, went to the Capitol. They avoided the halls to that gallery "Reserved for Members' Families." and went direct to the public seats. where, by patience and good management, they got in, in spite of the crowd. Tliera they sat, lookinsr down on the unsuspecting ex-Speaker, who, Inspired by their sup. posed absence, made one of the greatest speeches of his life. POWER TRANSMITTED II Y norE. English System "Which Is Chenper and -More Effective Than IlelU. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. The transmission of power by ropes las been largely resorted to in England, the preference being given to what is known as the Lambeth cotton rope, which Is made of four strands, the center or core f each, strand being bunched and slightly twisted, the outside of the strand having a covering of yarns that are firmly twisted. The four strands are further lala with a core in the center to form a rope and twisted the same as any four-stranded rope. In this way a rope is formed possessing extreme flexibility, and the fibres will noc break by bending on each other when run on pulleys, the rope also standing elongation or stretching twelve Inches in a lencth of fifty inches before breaking. The cost of this kind of a rope Is but one-rift h 'that of thr best oak-tanned leather beltln that Is, the rope to develop a given amount of power costs only one-fifth as much as the bsst quality of belting to do the same The life of such rope is said to be from twelve to fourteen years, or, if run on pulleys properly grooved and of suitable size, will last much longer, larger pulleys giving much better results than smaller ones. It is urged that the reason why the English system of rope transmission has not been developed to a greater extent In other countries Is the inadequate understanding of the method prevalent.
