INGENIOUS CONTRIyANCgS TO GET THE IRON
SEPARATED FROM FOREIGN ELEMENTS.
New York TimeLl
The processes for the reduction OF iron
from It's ores have been greatly improved Of
late years, so that we may now obtain a
very good quality OF metal from ores which
contain considerable quantities Of sulphur
and phosphorus. By the process in COM
mon use the ores are mixed with coal, lime
stone, or other suitable material, charged
into a blast furnace, and the iron cast into
pigs. Lately, however, the so-called "di.
rect method" OF reduction has been coming
into favor, and from the latest experiments
it would seem that the removal Of the most
troublesome impurities is easily accom-
plished by this method. In outline the new
process is conducted as follows: The ore is
ground to a coarse powder and intimately
mixed with lime, clay, and carbon.
NODDED N HOLLOW CYLINDERS.
This mixture Is then nodded into the
form OF hollow cylinders, about fifteen
inches high by eight inches in diameter, the
walls being about three inches in thickness.
These cylinders are then placed quite close
together upon the hearth OF large Tever-
6eratory furnace. and high heat il imme-
dlaiely applied. The object Of moldlng the
cylinders is TO enable the heat TO rapidly
act upon the ore. Under these circum.
stances, the carbon OF the mixture redu ces
the iron Of the orc TO a metallic state, but
the metal Is not fused as in the blast fur
mace. II remains in the form OF the origi-
nal cylinder, mixed with Stag that con-
tains most Of the impurities, and is know n
as spOngy iron.

An oxIDIzING FLAME.

II is well known, however. that the fine
OF a reverberatOry furnace is naturally an
oxidlzing fame, and tends to burn up any
iron that may be exposed TO its action, and
the spongy iron is in condition peculiarly
adapted to rapid oxidation. This difficulty
has been ingenou>ly overcome by careful
attention to the nature OF the Stag, which
in several ways plays on important r6te in
this process. the Stag must be a nOn-foW-
ing Stag, so that it will not run away from
the iron, but remain as a covering to pro.
tect ii from the oxidlzing flame. II must
also be a basic Stag, for then it removes the
phosphorus aud sulphur. In the course Of
one and a half or TWO hours the reduction
is complete, and the cylinders Of spongg
iron are ready for the mechanical operations
OF squeezing to remove the Stag and rolling
into bars,

COTTON NANUFACTURE IN Texas.

The Textile Record urges the southern
people TO go extensively into the manuiac-
ture Of cotton yarns and cloths, and thus
put themselves on the natural and easy road
to prosperity. One million bales. manufac-
tured half into yarns and bali into cotton,
would be worth 100000, 600, as against
$40, eco 900 for the same amount OF raw cot
ton, and the increased value OF the manu.
factured article would represent Just so
much money paid out IN wages 10 south
ern working people, and just so much
profit 10 the owners Of the mills. The dif-
ference in value between the manufactured
and the raw article would be also more than
equivalent TO the growth OF another million
bales. The Record expects that The model
cottou-6elds at the Exposition will afford
the growers OF the South an obieet-lesson
in the art Of getting 800 pounds OF cotton
from the acre. II the average crop per acre
can be raised 10 the amount Indicated by
the Record. the cotton planter will have hit
upon a bigger bonanza thar exists in any
mine on the continent.
