Iron Columns.

The announcement has recently been
made that n Philadelphia manufacturer
is preparing a plan for column / 200
feet high, to be constructed entirely of
iron, in open work, from the summit of
which the grounds of the Centennial
Exposition are TO be illuminated by
means of n vast and magnificent Drum
mond light. 1t will be the loftlest struc-
ture i'll the world, though possessing,
probably, but little architectural beauty.
The tallest thing of the kind now in ex-
istence is said to be the iron open-work
central spire Of the cathedral in Rouen.
France, and which is spoken of as
peculiarly unsightly object. 1t was
erected few years ago, to replace the
beautiful spire destroyed many years
previously by lightning; and, though.
the builders were determined to make it
a few feet higher than the celebrated
Strasburg cathedral, their work is pro-
nounced as positively hideous as that of
their predecessors was stately and SUI
perb. Probably tho next highest work
of mans hands, allowing st. Peters at
Rome to be unequaled, are two chin
neys of chemical works i'll Glasgow,
though each of these falls somewhat
short of 500 feet.

Portable Railways.

An English engineer has brought for
ward system of portable rails, which,
it is claimed, secures to every carriage
it's own tramway, and which may be
used with equal facility upon any ordi
or asphalted. A vehicle constructed for
this purpose by the inventor, with the
portable rails attached, appears, on ex-
perimental trials made, TO have eXhib-
tied satisfactory results. The carriage
wheels employed for this purpose, which
are about twenty-one inches in diane
ter, and fixed to the axle beneath the
springs in the ordinary way, run upon
what may be termed the inside of the
tires of Il second pair of wheels of suffi-
cient size to permit the small wheels to
rotate between the tires and naves of
the large ones. This large tire, which
forms the portable railway, is made up
of n series of long and short segments,
each carefully shod with india-rubber,
or which may be constructed of steel,
formed into band chain, one or another
of which is, of course, always in posi-
ton ready to receive the running wheel
the portion which has served the pur-
pose of tramway, as constantly pass
ing around the periphery of the large
wheel to regain it's position in front OF
the running wheel.
One peculiar advantage characterizing
this invention is stated to be that the
external appearance of the carriage is
not at all altered, an objection which
has done much to prevent the introduce
tiOn of endless RAILWAYS penerallv ond
it is believed that the railway here de-
scribed will meet an important desidera.
tum IN those instances, SO frequent
where the traffic is insufficient for per.
manent railway. -,T. Louis Ropublican.

GRENADE, New DYE-Srrrr.-A Sec
ondary product of the manufacture of
fuchsine, employed for some time in
dying wooden goods, under the name of
cerise, aniline, orseille, etc, has of late
contained impurities in the form of in
soluble foreign substances which has
suggested the effort to render it suffi-
GENTLY pure to warrant its use with the
finer fabrics. A dye-stuff named grenade
has been produced at the factory of
Knosp, in Stuttgart, which is said to give
pure garnet-brown, free from the dirty
bluish-red tint of cerise and other sub
stances substituted for archil, and which,
by combination with picric acid, turme-
ric, ETC., can be made to give any shade
of brown. The brilliancy of the color
surpasses that of genuine archil. It is
applicable to wooden, cotton, silk, leather,
and wooden articles, by use of different
mordants, and is practically cheaper than
cerise, by reason of low first cost, and
absence of insoluble residue. DIR. Rel
mann predicts for it permanent place
among dye-stuffs.

MORE SHEEP WANTED. Statistic
show that there were in 1871 about 80
COCOON sheep III the United States,
yielding an average of four pounds of
wool each, or 12s, 900, 900 paunds in the
aggregate. In addition to this product
the annual importation of wool amounts
to about 20, 600, 900 pounds, at a cost of
nearly $40, 100000. In addition to this
importation the United States imports
WOODEN goods to the amount of nearly
Sf4, 200, 600 per unnum. There is room
therefore for an increase of 1900. 600
