Schurz's condition took a sudden turn
for the worse and grew rapidly more
serious.
The following bulletin was issued by
his physicians1 at 9 o'clock this evening:,,

The Wjj t They Are Turned Out by Expert Workmen. Three million separate shoe nails are
often cast from a ton of metal. Of the smaller sizes 2,000 nails are molded in a single mold, and an expert workman will make eighty molds in unjrdinary werklng day, thus turning out 100,000 separate nails. When the metal in a liquid state is poured 'into the mold it runs through the sand in passages provided in tho
molding process. The whole of the
nails are oast together and are, when
removed from the sand, connected by
a network or iron one wltu another.
In this condition the iron is as brittle as glass, and very little force is required to separate5 the nails from the network which holds them together.
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annealing. They are mixed up with hematite iron ore, which
Is in a powdered state, put into Iron pots and placed in an annealing furnace, a sort of kiln. Here they remain
for some days. cs? being taken to so regulate the heat to which they are subjected -that the Iron will not be remelted, but brought very nearly to that condition. The action of the raw Iron ore upon tho brittle casting is marvel ous. After cooling It can be bent without risk of breaking, and It becomes a
useful and serviceable article.
CONSIDERING the fact that nearly 20,000
musical compositions are copyrighted each year at the office of the librarian of congress In Washington and at the same time about twenty of these become genuine hits, it Is only reasonable that the music pub
lisher feels as though he has drawn a prize In the lottery when a real hit Is secured. There is some doubt as to the biggest selling hit on record, as conditions are constantly changing, and at the present time a song or instrumental number to be a hit must sell In the neighborhood of 300,000 copies, while a few years ago if a publication sold 100,000 copies it was acknowledged a hit. This is owing to strong competition and largely to the reduction In the price of sheet music. When sheet music sold at 50 cents a copy the publisher was perfectly satisfied if the sale reached 100,000 copies and was willing to pay the composer 5 and 0 cents royalty on each copy. Today the composer receives 2 and 3 cents per copy, and sheet music retails for 8 and 23 cents a copy, which clearly explains why a song must sell many thousand copies to mean great profits to publisher and composer. Then, again, in the days of fifty cent theet music the public would accept a song and cling to it for months or possibly years, but today a song or Instrumental number may become a hit and be shelved in less than three months. This applies principally to popular songs, such as "Everybody
Works but Father" and "Tammany," which sold faster than the printer
Shaue of tfce Old Apple Tree" arid Just now a ballad, "When the Mocking Birds Are Singing In the Wildwood," by Henrlette B. Blanke, vrho, by the way, Is one of the two women song writers in the United States today who enjoy the distinction of having written a 11)00 song-bit, the second woman being MIss-Klare Kummer, composer of "Dearie." Instrumental numbers have proved 'an Important factor In music publishing, the grea.tet successes probably being the marches by John Philip Sousa, which were suddenly dropped, by the public after the Spanish-American war, and characteristic marches became popular, such as "Georgia Camp Meeting." "Smoky Mokes" and " 'Rastus on Parade." These negro compositions in turn gave way to the Indian intermezzos, such as "Iliawatba." "Laughing Water." "Navajo," "Big Indian Chief" and a score of others, which, according to-maay, savor very much of the genuine old ragtime. The reign of Indian songs and Indian intermezzos was interrupted by the sudden popularity of Irish songs and Irish intermezzos, such as "A Bit o Blarney," "A Sprig of Shiilalah," etc., and then came the Mexican songs and the Mexican serenades, which have been more or less popular the past six months, until just recently the public decided tkat the Germans should have a chance, and as if bv magic a new
march entitled "Happy Heinie," by J.
Bodewalt I.ampe, which Is decidedly
German, caught the popular fancy.
Music publishers, realizing this abrupt
change in public taste, are now issuing German marches and German songs, expecting the German craze to
last until some other nation, possibly Sweden, asRerts its rights and establishes a new swing in melody that will
become contagious. There is little or no jealousy shown when a melody be
comes a craze, as tne sons or Erin enjoy the melody of "Happy Heinie" and
dance with as much vim as they did to the strains of "A Bit o' Blarney."

"After the Ball" probably netted more actual proiit than any song published during the last twenty years, for the whole world was humming the refrain within a few months after it was issued.

CryThTiag .s, your tuuesTy-orbTiow, no luxury." Yes," replied the king, "but what would you say if you saw my apartments V Since the eruption of Vesuvius drove thousands of people from their homes Queen Helena has been at the king's side aiding and suggesting in the task of affording relief. The dispatches have told how the people have kissed the king's hand and the queen's gown, exclaiming, "God sent you to us!" The more superstitious of the peasants have unbounded faith in the king's powers, and the story Is told of a woman who cried, "If thou art our king order the volcano to stop." King Victor Emmanuel III. was born In 1SG9 and married the Princess Helena of Montenegro In 1S9G. They have three children, the heir apparent, Humbert, prince of Fiednioat, born in 1004, and two daughters, Yolanda and Mafalda. The king and queen are devoted to motoring and have had many adventures ou such trips. He is but five feet three inches In height and the queen is tall. One day passing through a small village a breakdown occurred and a crowd was attracted to the spot In the crowd were two English motorists. Secure, as they thought. In speaking in a strange tongue, they carried on the following conversation: "Pretty motor car." "Yes, and the lady is pretty too." "More than can be said of the man. Did you ever see such a little man in such a big car?"
"I am out of brandy. I wonder if be can supply me. Shall I ask? Per
haps he speaks French." "I shall be most happy to oblige you.
said the king in perfect English. Then
he added:
"Can I bo of any further use to you?
I My kingdom is at your disposal, ana
it is not so small as its monarch."
! "The deuce!" exclaimed one, while
the other merely gasped, "The king."

KINO VICTOK EMMANUEL.
N and about Naples during the
eruption of
Mount Vesuvius the king and queen of Italy have been prominent and picturesque figures. The peril into which the king has gone In his anxiety to afford all possible relief and safety to sufferers from the
seismic disturbances has placed him In a most favorable light and enhanced his popularity as a monarch. When Fliny the elder saw the smoke over Vesuvius in 79 A. D. he set sail for the cities at the foot of the mountain in some of the vessels of the fleet he commanded with the view to rendering assistance. When King Victor Emmanuel learned of the desperate straits of the people living in the vicinity of Vesuvius he took a train from Rome to Naples
and thence set forth in the direction of the volcano in that typical twentieth century 'vehicle, the automobile. While speeding his machine over the ash strewn country he was struck by a heavy shower of cinders and almost lost in a whirl of ashes, but he did not suffer the fate of Fliny and came back alive, though the fiery contents of Vesuvius had been spread so thickly in front of his motor car that he had to abandon it and walk. Danger, like love, levels all ranks, but this is not the first time the ruler of Italy has shown himself to be democratic. His tendencies in this direction are due in part to his wife, Queen Helena, who was a princess xf Montenegro and was brought up "without any nonsense." When she became queen she was shocked at the amount of waste and extravagance in the palace and showed her attendants that,
without being less dignified, it was
