hot weather, Is no cause for alarm, there is
one phase of the fact which will not be IN
profitable for US 10 consider. For several
years past We have been expecting an in-
mense surplus Of wheat. T0ia was made
possible only by Tho low price of the grain
at home, for when wheat is high at home it

Utilizing Tin Scraps.

About the last refuse article to be turned
to any account would seem to be tin scraps.
Leather waste and other refuse in various
kinds of manufacture have been one after
another utilized in the arts, but tin scraps
have been regarded rs utterly good for
nothing. Attempts have been made, it is
said, in France, England and other coun-
tries to extract value from them, unavail-
ingly. Two Philadelphia mechanics, Will
liam Batty and John Roe, have, however,
succeeded in utilizing this cast-off material.
They began their experiments few years
ago by melting down tin scraps and galvan-
lied iron refuse, and have succeeded in pro-
curing superior article of iron from them.
They are now regularly engaged in the bust
ness, and employ sixteen or eighteen work
men. They pay three dollars per ton for
tin scraps delivered on the premises. These
are placed in furnace and carbOnized to
such an extent as to make soft iron OF
semi-steel. 1t is claimed that one ton Of
scraps will make u ton of metal, and by con.
densing the fumes from the furnace with
water eighty pounds of oxide Of tin is re
covered. The latter article is said to bt
very valuable. By introducing pure car
bon in pulverized state into the melt
graphite enters into the metal, greatly i'm
proving IT, The metal produced ut the
establishmcnt-about three tons per day
is worked up on the premises into semi
steel crate bars, sad irons, street car boxes.

more, to purchase an estate, ut the close of
the Pcninsular war; after Waterloo an ad-

The Pennsylvania incorporators of the
Yorktown centennial celebration held a
meeting in Philadelphia Wednesday, Mt
which resolutions were adopted providing
for the appointment of "a committee Of
three from each of the industrial and com
mercial interests of the State of Pennsylya-
MIA to aid in securing an appropriate ccnten-
NAL celebration of the surrender of Lord
CORVALLIS at Yorktown, Virginia, in Octo-
Der next, and to be present and join like

States to receive the representatives Of the
republic of France on tho occasion of their
arrival to invite them to visit Pennsylva-
MIA, and to unite with the authorities of the
city of Philadelphia in extending to them
reception on the occasion of their visit"
As an indication that the matter is in good
hands, it may be stated that the first names
entered in the subscription to the stock of
the Yorktown celebration arc those of Hon.
John Welsh, Messrs. Thomas Cochran, Amos
r. Little b. X. Jamison, and others identi-

A Coming Prize Fight.

The proposed match between the heavy
weight pugilists, Paddy Ryan, of Troy, and
John Sullivan, of Boston, is about as good as
made. Sullivan at first wished to fight with
hard gloves, declaring that he had no wish
to get into the State prison, but afterward
expressed his willingness to fight with naked
fists for 1000 a side. Ryan would not fight
for less than 5000 side, and Sullivan,
who was in the city last week, said he would
go back to Boston and find hackers. He was
successful, and yesterday his representative
called on Ryan's hackers and said that Sui
Ivan was ready to make the match as Ryan
proposed. Richard X. Fox posted forfeit
of $500 for Ryan with Frank Queen,
of the Clipper. This was accompan-
led by letter in which Mr.. Fox said that
Ryan wished the fight to take place within
100 miles of either Pittsburg or Detroit,
within three or four months from the time
of signing the articles, and to be decided
according to the rules of the London prize
ring. Monday, June q, was named in the
letter as the time for the principals to meet
at the Clipper Office and sign articles OF
agreement and post an additional $500. Mr..
Fox added that he was posting 5000 merely
to prove who was the champion pugilist OF
the world, and that after the battle was de-
cided he would match the winner to fight
any man in the world-uo matter whether
the winner was Ryan, his champion, OF
Sullivan-tor the same amount.--N. Y. SIN
