Between the Transvaal and the Zulu coun-

the dcpreiations which Cetywayo has CON-

one side or another is taken in the frontier
dispute. English officials regard the depre-
dations as Of slight account and rs more

hold that '.lesson must be taught !" that

SHARING THE sPOIIs.

The division OF the spOllS OF the recent
election over the river is beginning to
take some attention on the part Of the
victors. Belmont county, with her us
ual modesty, has only put in requiSi-
tons for two OF three lat places for her
citizens. The It. Clairsville Chronicle
SAYS:
"The name of Col. G.. :. ;. Baron, of
Bellaire, is iavOr0bly mentioned As a
suitable person for one of the Directors
of the Ohio Penitentiary. Col. b. has
executive capacity largely developed
and the business snap requisite tor
an efficient Director of such an lnStltu-
ton. He would be an excellent man
for the place. Let us have Peniten-
tiary Director from Belmont, Governor
Charley.
We are not surprised 10 see this. Mr..
BARox is a good man for the position,
and his appointment wouldgiye general
satisfaction. Besides, lac did the duties

But the extract from the Cbroaic'c

Mr.. LOngley has the capacity 10 render
that office something more than the

TIE rise in prices in this country has
already reached a point where foreign
goods have begun to flow in to meet the
demand and stay the advance. The
activity OF iron, tin and copper interests
in England are indications there OF what
is already plain here, that the price OF
these metals has gone as high as it IS
likely to for the present. A sharp de
mand for foreign articles is also apparent
in the imports of luxuries. The great
bulk of these comes from France, and
importations from that country for the
quarter ending September 30 were ST.
$50, l52-a fifth larger than in the same
three months last year and more than
twice as large as the year before.
II the imports from France continue
through the year at the same rate, they
will be larger than in any year since
1870. A corresponding increase in the
home demand for foreign manufactures
will exhaust all the enormous eXpOrta-
ton Of food now in progress TO keep the
balance of trade in favor OF this country.
The increasing entries OF foreign goods
at New York have already begun to
swell the receipts from customs above
the Treasury estimates, and every prob
ability exists that payments will be
made to the sinking fund this year in
spite of largely increased appropriations.

4 PIrTsBURGER named REESE who
has heretofore attracted attention by in
geuious inventions for the desulphur-
izing of ores, and other processes in the
making of iron and steel, comes again to
the front with new and remarkable
discovery in metallurgy. He claims to
be able to melt instantly q bar of cast
steel one inch in diameter-which can
not be fused in less than five minutes in
the highest heat attainable-simply by
throwing against it a column of air
having a velocity OF $1,000 feet a min
ute. The instant the air touches the
metal the fusion takes place. He fur
ther claims to be able to auneal bars Of
steel or iron at the rate OF one foot per
second, thus Increasing the ductiiity
OF the metal 100 per cent, without
the use of other fuel than that con-
tanned in the metal itself. He simply
unlocks the occludcd llatent) heat. Ii
becomes sensible and enlarges the
metal. and by the method OF doing this
the enlargement is made permanent.
On Saturday Mr.. REESE informed the
.iurricda Manufacturer that he gets
81 600 royalty for each machine for in
Simultaneous fusion OF steel, AMI further,
that he has sold To- 4 company of capt.
talists his patent for the United States
for a given royalty per ton, graded to the
various sizes OF the metal operated upon
by his process Tor rapidlyanncalius bars

HEATING STREET CARS.

The heating of street cars in winter,
next to steam power for running them,
Is now the most sought after in large
cities and lines of such length as that
of our Elm Grove road. 1t will be in
teresting to all patrons of this means OF
travel to learn OF the announcement
from New York that plans for effecting
this object are now successfully in
operation.
On many of the New York and Brook
lyn lines they have heretofore heated
the cars with small stoves, which make
them comparatively comfortable, but
stove heating has not been deemed
satisfactory, and experiments have been
going on to find something better.
1t is now stated that hot-water ap-
paratus has been determined on for one
of the roads. II consists of pipe un-
der the seats on each side, terminating
in a heating chamber at one end and an
expansion chamber at the other, both
these attachments being under the seats.
The pipes, heating chamber and part OF
the expansion chamber are filed with
water saturated with salt to keep 1t
from freezing This water will last
a whole winter. The heat is APP
piled at each trip-iron slugs heated
to an intense degree at furnaces in the
terminal stations. These are placed in
ire-box at the end of the car and the
heat from them communicated to the
water will, 1T is claimed, keep the cars
warm and comfortable during trip.
The expense of fitting up the cars with
the necessary apparatus will be consid-
cradle, but after the apparatus is once
fixed the cost of applying the heat will
be triAing-about four cents a day for
each car. The cars on some of the ele-
waited roads which run in trains are to
be heated by steam sent from the engine
through pipes to each car.
