An Extraordinary Specimen OF
American Iron.

The Colliery Guardian OF June 18th
says: There is now being shown IN the
Birmingham district an extraordinary
specimen of iron making in the United
States. 1t is portion of a sheet OF very
thin iron, so thin that though its surface
dimensions are inches by 81 inches, yet
its weight is only 3! grains, apOthecaries
weight. the breadth of the nostrils will
drive it away almost as if it were
the cinder of burned paper. The thin
ness is itself very surprising but the ex-
traordinary part OF the matter is that
the iron has been made from what the
Americans term "muck bar'-obtained
from Danks pudding furnace, at Pitts
burgh, without being reworked. Thus,
an extreme thinncsS OF iron, which it is
almost impossible to secure from the
very bCs. materials, worked and reworks
ed many times over in the usual way, has
been got from iron in the state Of crude
ness in which it was found upon leav-
mechanical pudding furnace. 1t
is assumed in this country that
the iron has been made from the or
dinary district pigs, and the specimen has
scientific Significance. There is to the
iron makers here the disagreeable infer
cnce that, if crude iron can be worked TO
such foil as is described, then that sheets
of greater thickness, but still of thln-
ness that brings them to the narrowest
gauge embraced in the sheets generally
made in this country and which realize
very high prices, should be produced by
the United States iron masters at figures
SO much below those,at which alone lntcnS
and button iron, for instance, can be
made in this country, that the Americans
must be i'll n position TO compete success
fully with the British iron master for
those kinds in his home market. Men in
the trade who have seen the specimen
are expressing the belief that the Ameri-
can should be able to compete with the
English maker in the Atipodean COloni.

FIshwnys on the Potomac

A portion of the Fish Commissioners
of Maryland and Virginia, accompanied
by corps of engineers, went up the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal to the Great
Falls few days since to ascertain the
practicability oi fishway across those
tails for the ascent of fish. We are graft
fed to hear that the survey is conclusive
a. to the practicability of the scheme.
This is Il great enterprise. The Potomac,
with its tributaries, would, ifopen to the
ascent of sea fish, shad, rock herring and
California salmon, supply healthful and
delicious food for millions OF people. 1t
Is IA well.ascertained fuct that the higher
upa stream the spawn is deposited the
more vigorous are the young fish, and
the better able TO confront the strong
currents of tidewater. In the opening
of thi- great river for the ascent of fish,
four States-Wcst Virginia, Pcnnsylva-
ma, Virginia and Muryland-and Wash
ington city, the seat of government are
deeply and directly interested, and the
scheme is of such proportions as to be
national, and the expenses attending it,
successful completion should be betrayed
bv the federal government.-II Washington
