Into the much discussed question of
IVfeat la the matter with the fence wire
nowadays the department of agricul
ture, la a recent publication, intro
duces the theory of electrolysis. It Is
stated that all metal used for fence
wire at present made In this country Is
classed as stael. Irrespective of the per
centage of carbon or whether made by
the Bessemer or open hearth process.
Prom the statements of officials of a
company consuming large ’quantities
•f wire and from other authoritative
evidence, all tending In the same dlrec*
don, the following two points are ac
cepted: First, that modern Bessemer
’Snd open hearth steel rusts much more
rapidly than Iron wire; second, that
manganese, appedally if It la unevenly
distributed In the steel, la at least la
part the cause of the trouble.

If we are to believe the old proverb,
prophets have always had beards for
the faithful to swear by. Not so with
the popes. From the time of 8L Peter
down to the year 1163 the popes all
wore full beards, but for the next four
centuries they were cleanly shaven.
Then came a period of two centuries I
In which they again wore the beard, |

Mr. Cushman, the writer of the mon
ograph on the “Corrosion of Fence
Fire,** argue* that, although It la prob
able that the effects of electrolysis In
a fence wire are extremely small, It
must be remembered that they are con
tinually going on whenever the wire Is
wet In almost all modern steel wov
en wire fences some wires will be found
to far outlast others, independent of
the original weight of the galvanised
covering which they carry. If in wov
en wire fence all the wires would last
as well as the best ones do there would
have been no complaints. It Is just
this point of unevenness of lasting
quality In wires from successive beats
in the same mill which have practically
the name chemical composition that Is
hard to explain by any theory but that
of galvanic or electrolytic action. The
facte-e-s believed that the
**bole trouble was In the unevenness in
the weight of zinc covering that was
put on the wire, but experiment and I
observations show that this is rot so.
Some wires will go to pieces before
©them, although there Is no discernible
difference either in the weight or qual
ity of the zinc covering. In one fence
which has been under observation for
four years one wire was in perfect con
dition, although It carried a light cov
ering of zinc, while the wire next to It
was badly rusted from end to end.
Ohaarvatloaa la tha Field.
Almost every one who has carefully
Inspected woven wire fencing as It Is
exposed to the weather on the farm,
•ays Mr. Cushman, has observed that
some of the wires go to pieces much
more rapidly than others. The bot
tom wires lying close to the ground,
which are kept wet lu summer by the
growth of weeds and grass and In
winter by melting snow, are naturally
the ones which we should expect to
rust moot quickly. As a matter of
fact, however, they almost never do so,
but, on the contrary, are far more
lasting than the wires farther removed
from tbo ground. This observation has
been substantiated by a large number
of competent observers. One would
not seek to preserve iron from rust or
zinc from corrosion by ■ laying these
metals away in wet snow or weeds.
If, however, electrolysis takes place
and If the action can be diminished by
keeping the wires electrically neutral
through frequent connections to the
earth or through frequent short cir
cuits we should then expect that wires
which were kept their whole length in
constant contact with the earth would
In the long run show greater lasting
quality.

The process of making telegraph wire
Is noted, and It Is explained that “tele
graph wire Is generally acknowledged
to be more durable than fence wire”
and thai-!!care is exorcised In the man
ufacture of telegraph wire to keep the
manganese low, because this element
Increases the electrical resistance of
the wire. The difficulty experienced
In rolling low manganese steel ond the
slow rate of speed at which the mill
must be run to draw the wire through
the zinc bath In the doable process of
galvanizing add materially to the cost
of the product. The question then
arises whether or not high grade fence
wire is worthy the same care and con
sideration that are given to wire which
brings a higher price in the market
and is used for other purposes.

Minister Is Killed by a Car.
Nashville, March 3.—Rev. W. H.
Strickland, pastor of the Spruce street
Northern Methodist Episcopal church,
of this city, was run down and killed
by a street car early Saturday morn
ing. Hr. Strickland attempted to
cross the track in front of a rapidly
moving car. He was dragged several
yards and horribly mangled, his body
being almost cut In two. Dr. Strick
land was a native of, Wayne county,
this state, and was 44 years old. He
was a prominent divine of the North
ern Methodist church.
