Iron and Coal in Indiana.

In a review Of the proceedings u the re-
cent meeting Of the American Institute IF
Mining Engineers in New York city, and
the discussion held upon the iron and coal
question during the session Of the Insti-
tute, the New York Tribune thus refers to
the coal and iron interests Of Indiana
While the general advance u iron manu-
facture in this country has been very great
throughout the districts where its earlier
successes were accomplished, decidedly the
most promising developments are those
which have originated in new localities
The one Of these which has attracted the
most attention is based upon the supply Of
what is known as Block Coal, mined in In
diana. A paper upon this subject read be-
fore the Institute of Mining Engineers BY
Mr. John 5. Alexander Of Philadelphia. Of
which synopsis was gived in the Tribune.
elected, we Judge, from report in the En-
gri,eering and Mining Journal, a very lively
discussion among the members Of the In
stitute, IN which the merits Of the block
coal in iron manufacture were compared
with those Of other fuel, and the Indiana
coal certainly did suffer BY the compari
son.
Our readers have become somewhat "a
miliar with this branch Of the subject
through the letters of DR. j. W. Foster. Of
Chicago. originally addressed to the Tr;-
b1tne. BY the exact logic Of indisputable
facts and figures, these lettes show that the
district known az the Block Coal Field Of
Indiana, which a series of railroads are now
penetrating, offers advantages for the man
ufacture Of iron and Bessemsr steel that are
at least not surpassed elsewhere. Tables
ad led to the letters, which have recently
been published in pamphlet form, indicate
the rapid progress in iron manufacture
which has already been made in the Brazil
district Of Indiana, and justify the hope
that it will continue to increase in a. great,
Ue even greater, ratio, than that Of Cleve-
land or St. Louis, although in the former

Remarkable Recovery Of Sight.

Cleveland Leader tells this story
A very curious, and in fact almost in

about to relate, were it not vouched for BY
responsible parties a. it il those who were
present and saw that Of which they speak.
The subject upon whom this wonderful
recovery Of sight WAS visited was lady
very advanced in life. So much 30 that
she had become almost entirely blind.
Very suddenly one day she became aware
of the change in her vision She was at he
time standing by window, when she called
the attention Of those IN the room to the
fact that she could plainly soc the very
hairs on the backs nf cattle some forty rods
distant. She found upon trial that she
could see other very minute objects Mt n
very great distance. Another very curl
GUS thing about this recovery IT sight was
the TACT that she could see in the dark
Many trials of this were made, IA. fur
instance, by dropping pin or needle
upon the carpet with no light il the room,
she would Immediately pick it up. She
continued ia this condition only for a
short time, however, when she was taken
