On meeting some obstruction, have grown
round and partially enveloped particles of
the SOIL The roots not only imbibe
water, but they actually force it up into
and through the stem. This force is
much greater than is generally supposed.
1t can be ascertained by fastening pres
sure gauge to the upper portion OF the
root of plant, and then immersing the
roots in water. In an experiment made
DY Hales, over century ago, in which
he attached the gauge to the stump of
grapevine during the spring flow of the
sap, he got rise of the mercury to a
hight OF 325 inches in the tube. In other
words, the imbibing force of the roots
was equal to the pressure of a column of
water So feet high, or little greater
than the barometric pressure of the air.
In another set of experiments made by
HOtfmeister, the mercury was forced to
hight OF g inches by the roots of a bean
plant, IA inches by the absorption power
of the roots of the nettle, and % inches
by that OF the roots of a grapevine. It
was found that the rise of mercury in the
tube was inversely proportional to the
length of stem attached to the roots
that is, the greater the length of stem the
less the hight of the mercury. This shows
conclusively that the structure of stem

ABsoRPTIvR FORCE

Seems to reside in the young and active
roots and rootlets, and near, but not at
their extremities. In general the absorp.
tive power may be'said to reside in those
parts of the roots which are supplied with
root hairs. 1t is most active when the
growth of the plant is greater, and hence
when the roots are in the state of most
rapid development. This leads to the con-
clusion that the absorptive power of the
roots vary with the different seasons and
conditions of growth. This imbibing power
is so great as some times to force the water
through the leaves Of newly sprouted plants
with sufficient energy to cause it 10 exu1e
from the extreme tip in little droplets.
The spring flow OF sap in the sugar maple
and water elm are striking illustrations
of the absorptive power of roots as well as
the influencing conditions of vegetable
growth. The temperature exercises
very marked influence on the absorptiye
power of roots and the manifestation of
this power is no doubt influenced by the
amount of moisture contained in the soil.
The nutritive MATER required by the plant
and existing in state Of solution in the
soil, is carried up In the liquids imbbed
by the roots. This process is not simply
mechanical transportation by the roots,
but they, on the other hand, have sort of
selective power, and generally absorb only
such water as is needful to the plant 1t
the roots of plant be immersed in a solu-
ton of some chemical salt, the solution
will, in the course of time, give an alkaline
reaction with test paper. This change
from neutral solution to one having de-
cidedly alkaline properties, Is explained
by the fact that the root decomposes the
salt into it's constituent acid and base. and
by its selective power takes up larger
amount of acid than base. This process,
when carried on long enough, renders the
solution basic, or if the base be one of the
alkali basis, viii render it alkaline.

Our Vast ProdzctiOmof aron and
steel.

The remarkable growth of the iron
industry of the United st ties during
the ten years from 1870 to 1880 is
shown by the statistics of our iron and
steel production collected for the tenth
census by Mr.. James M. Swank. Elk
actly how great that growth was is
shown in the following table:
Number of establ shu,ents ZOOS sos
Capital invested $3.50, 97I ,SS4 Sl2l ITO. 074
Value of materials $i94 ,271, $50 $l35 51s, I3s

Hauds employed, ,....... l40, 97S 1855
Paid i'll wages, ....... S55, 476, 7S5 $40, 54, 1851
It will be observed that. while the
weight of the products was nearly
twice as much in 1880 as. in 1870, their
value increased only about forty-three
per cent, and the value of the raw ma
terials used was only forty-one per
cent. greater. This dispfoportion is
easily explained. The prices OF iron
were high in 1870, owing to the premi-
UNI on gold. which averaged fifteen per
cent. throughout the year. and in 1880
they were lower. Moreover, during
the decade there was a wonderful de-
velopment, both mechanical and scien-
tific, of our iron and steel Industries
The consequence was that the great
increase of production was rendered
possible.
The growth of tn. iron business has
been most marked during the last
quarter of a century. Indeed, previous
to 1869 we produced only small, almost
an insignificant, quantity of pig iron
and cast iron. Fifty years age our
practice had scarcely pro-
crossed since the colonial DAYS. In
1881 it was deemed great thing for
pig iron in year. In 1880 we have
several furnaces which could each make
600 tons . month, and in 1881 we had
me whose production was 224 tons
lay, 1857 week, and 5,59S month.
N 1850 we produced of pig iron and
'ast iron SCI ,223 gross tons. aud in 1880
more than foulfold that quantity, or
.S35. l91 gross tons. The production |
or 1851 was about 4, SOC, 900 tons.
But the growth of our steel produc-
ion is even more remarkable. Fifty /
ears ago we did not make one poand |
f crucible steel of the best quality, I
nd very little steel of any kind was
In 1880 our production /
t Bessemer steel and Bcssemer steel t
ais was greater than that of Great
Britain even. We turned out ,247 1886
ross tons of steel of all kinds, 81 1854
ons being crucible steel. It was not
Intil 1874 that we began to roll any
ther kind of rails than strap rails. In
$50 we rolled 1.305.2l2 gross tons of
ails, nearly two-thirds of them be-

ing steel, and almost The whole of them
Traits.
OF course, European countries have
the advantage of us in the matter OF
wages. Their furnaces may also be
nearer the raw materials than ours.
But SO far as concerns the processes OF
manufacture employed, Mr.. Swank
has no doubt Of our superiority. "Our
blast furnace practice is the best in the
world. Our Bessemer steel practice is
also the best in the world. We produce
much more Bessemer steel and roll more
Bessemer steel rails in given time by q
given amount Of machiaery, technically
termed plant than any of our Eu-
ropean rivals"
The progress of our iron and steel in
dustry, in fine, has been such that we
are to-day, next to Great Britain, the
largest producers of iron in the werld,
than any other country, while of all
kinds of steel we shall soon produce
more than even Great Britain. In 1880
there were made in the world II. 6S8 $3.50
.rross tons of pig iron and 4, 343, 500 gross
tons of steel, The United States pro-
dueed o2per cent. of the iron and 90 per
cent. of the steel.
Ia summing up the advantages our
iron and steel ma. ufacturers possess as
with foreign competitors, Mr..
Swank does not refer to the protective
tariff. But for that, he might have had
a very different story to tell.
We observe that he appends to his
report long and very exhaustive his
tory of iron manufacture from the ear
lest ages to the present time. The ex-
oerts and specialists to whom has been
the compilation of the statis-
tics of the different departments of the
census are also sending voldminous re-
ports Inasmuch as the subdivisions
an,. the fields for inquiry are much more
extended than in any previous census,
v hen all their papers are brought to-
gether work of enormous bulk, and
which will he long in completing, must
