An Experiment MOI Worth Trying
Philadelphia Times.

The number OF persons who think they
can sleep on housetop and not roll on
increases from year to yesr, as does also
the number who discover their mistake
when they have tumbled of and are
dashed and mutilated on the pavement
below. The season for this sort OF thing
has set IN in New York, and that por.
ticn of the population which goes out
upon the roof of night in order 10
escape the Indebtedness and horror OF
tenement rooms is being thinned out
with unusual rapidity. Some people
never will learn anything trein other
peoples experience or there never would
be an othar accident-it cannot fairly be
called an accident-of this kind.

shipping American Iron TO Europe

shipping American Iron TO Europe
Pittsburgh Manufacturer.
But perhaps the rarest shipment In
the whole list was q lot OF five tons of pig
iron to Antwerp, valued At $l75. From
its value, S35 per ton, in was undoubt-
edly charcoal iron. So far as we are
aware, this Is the first shipment of pig
iron ever made from this country to the
continent of Europe, but it may be the
beginning of an important trade. Bel.
GUM has recently been importing car
wheels from this country, and it is not
improbable that if the American style OF
car.wheel shall come INTO extended use in
that country some OF the enterprising
manufacturers there may import
the tough pig iron made on
this side and 60 into the business OF
their manufacture. American car
wheels are becoming popular IN several
countries, and it is not visionary to an
ticipate that the day is not very tar away
when many more of our charcoal fur
nsces will be in blast than at present, in
response to q largely increased demand
from our own and foreign csr-wheel
manufacturers. English technical pa
pers, as we'll as some American journals,
have been disc Issing the comparative adj
vsntages of the European and the Amer
can csr-wheel, and We believe
the weight of testimony is in
favor OF the latter. At any rate, it is
certain the csst-iron wheel is coming into
use more and more in foreign countries,
while there is no thought of discarding it
hare. where IT is used universally. All of
which is the best of ground for the belief
that the demand for csr-wheel iron will
gradually increase, and perhaps to an
extent that to satisfy which will require
the full capacity of our furnaces produc.
ing that kind of iron. There Is evidently
4 better day near at hand for our manu-
facturers of charcoal iron.
American iron rolls are also becoming
popular Ia Europe, and there is scarcely
= week that we do not note shipment of
them. During the week under review
twelve of these, valued at $l,425. were
shipped, one being destined for Liverpool
and the other eleven for Glssgsw. We
have noticed that great many 60 to the
latter port.
