How Tin Scraps are Utilized.

About the last refuse article to be turn
ed 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 as utterly
good for nothing. Attempts have been
made, it is said, in France, England and
other countries, to extract value from
them, unavaiIingly. Two Philadelphia
merchants, William Batty and John Roe,
have, however, succeeded in utilizing this
cast-Off material. They began their ex-
periments a few years ago, by melting
down tin scraps and galvanized iron re-
fuse, and have succeed in procuring su-
perior article Of iron from them. They
pay three dollars per ton for tin scraps de-
livered on the premises. These are placed
in furnace and earbonized to such an
extent as to make a soft iron or semi
steel. 1t is claimed that one ton of scraps
will make ton of metal, and by con-
dencing the fumes from the furnace with
water, eighty pounds of oxide of tin is re-
covered. The latter article is said to be
very valuable. By introducing pure car
bon in a pulverized state into the melt,
graphite enters into the metal greatly i'm
proving it. The metal produced at the
establishment-about three tons per day
is worked up on the premises into semi
steel CRATE bars, and irons, street car box
es, etc.-BoStoa Journal

But Ten Eyck, scaling the Andes and
shouting his enthusiasm to Hobart, with
yells and gesticulations that astonished
their sober-minded guide, had little thought
and less care of the reputation he had left
behind. In truth, his head and hands
were full of care for his friend.
By strange irony of Fate, it was he
who ministered to Hobart, who cheered
and encouraged him, and watched over,
with woman's tenderness, the man who
had so deeply wronged his confidence, but
whom he had loved with more than
brothers love.
