The Production OF lRoN AND STEEL Dr.
RECTLY FROM THE ORE is Il problem which has
long engaged the attention of inventors in this
country and abroad but which is now believed
to have been solved by regenerdtive furnace
devised by MIR. SicmenS. The process consists
in exposing n mass Of ore, which may or may
not be mixed with reducing agents or fu8es,
upon an inclined surface, to the surface action
of intense heat, and in Introducing at the same
time a current or currents of combustible gases,
or petroleum OIL in among the mass, from be-
low the inclined surface, SO as to pcrcolate
through the mass of ore, affecting or aiding in
its reduction and at the same time envelOping
its surface where exposed to the fame in a de
oXldizng or reducing atmosphere, tending to
facilitate its fusion. The fused metal and Gin
defS accumulating at the foot OF the inclined
surface are from time to time removed, while a
mass of ore is maintained upon the inclined
plane by lis own graviation, fresh ore being
supplied from hoppers at the top of the incline
in regular quantities. The process is simple,
and the quantity OF steel produced is very fine.

The disaster to the Arctic whaling fleet seems
to have fallen most heavily, not upon New Bed
ford, whose capitalists furnished the vessels and
their equipment as well as the insurance Their
pecuniary loss, Of course, was the greatest, but
they were generally very well able to bear it,.

size could have been so little Inconvenience by
losses 10 the same amount. To Honolulu, which
had no capital directly invested in the Whaling
business, the loss is more serious. A LARGE mari

A system of sewerage, novel in America
though it is said to have been in use two or
three years in the city of Prague, Bohemia, was
described in paper read before the polytechnic
branch of the American institute in New York.
Ii is called the pneumatic sewerage system, be-
cause the pressure OF the atmosphere is made
to produce the flow through the pipes. The
flow involves the division of Il city into what
are called compleXes and sub-c0mpleXcs."
A sub complex consists of about Two hundred
houses, and is provided with a large alright
lion reservoir into which lead the waste pipes
IRON each house. The complex includes all the
sub-complexes within radius OF about half a
mile, and is supplied with a reservoir SINH
lar but Of course much larger, with which
all those OF the sub-CompleXeS are
connected by pipes. The whole system Of pipes
is provided with valves and cocks, by which the
circulation Of the air is regulated. The pressure
is obtained by cxhausting the air in the princi-
pal reservoir, by means OF large air pump,
driven by a steam engine. The pressure of the
outer air then drives through the pipes all their
contents, first into the smaller reservoirs. and
then into the larger one, clearing the whole
system, it is SAID, in less than five minutes.
The contents Of the main reservoir can then he
drawn off fer use as fertilizer This plan is
REGARDED with favor in Europe, and is now being
introduced into several cities.
Mr., Gideon Haynes, who has been warden OF
the state prison for fourteen years past, has of
fered his resignation, to take effect on the first
Of December next. Mr. Haynes has been a
very efficient officer, treating the prisoners in
his charge with humanity, and so managing the
affairs OF the institution that the profits of the
prisoners labor have paid all its expenses and
left a considerable balance for the state treas
uy. The prison undcr his control has been one
of the best managed institutions Of its kind in
the country, and was considered a model which
officers elsewhere have been accustomed to
study and try to initiate. The Boston Trans
cript SAY that General S. Z. Chamberlain will
succeed Mr.. Haynes, and gives Il curious ac-
count Of the manner in which the change was
brought about. The governor and council it
says, having in mind General Chamberlain
services in the army, and the fact that his
present position, that of assistant ad.
luiant general in charge Of the Cam
bridge arsenal, is not lucrative, looked
about TO sec if they could not pro-
vide him with something better. The result
Of their survey was the conclusion that as Mr..
Haynes had held his office long time and
General Chamberlain seemed well qualified fol
It's duties, the former had better retire so
that the latter might be provided for. Accord
ingly Governor Clatlin suggested this view of the

This is all of the great American romance
that am going TO give to the readers of this
paper at present. In three or four years will
have the second nstallment ready. The scene
will be laid at Hull, Mass and the villain will
be hotel keeper there, who charges a transient
guest fifty cents for using a towel. After that
| suppose | never can visit Hull again But no
matter for that. Ii is my intention to expose
in trenchant and vigorous manner some of
the abuses of American society, even if forfeit
the delights Of Hull forever.
In three or four years the original of Mrs,
Jabez Baxter will be even more developed,
physically and mentally, than now, thanks 10
the climate of California. 1t cannot be that the
romance of her life has ended with her mar
rage. On the contrary, | fear it has Just
begun Poor little girl, il seems cruel that any
climate should be so developing MS that in Cali
loiha, II such oulrages as your story are to
follow. In three or four years, when the second
chapter is ready, either special legislation win
prevent the recurrence Of such exceptional eases
IL yours, or else you will be qualified 10 I'm
some position OF public trust and honor uuder
the coming administration of that eminent
stateswoman, Mrs Victoria {. Woodruff. And
then, too it is to be hoped thar the srisina
young journalist" who interviewed Won viii
have outgrown his present yeasty state, and be
better able TO do your story full justice
