A New Invention for Melting Iron.
From the London Iron Journel.


A new system of melting iron, and
at the same time incorporating in il
scrap, wrought iron, ETC., has been
invented by Herr Ibruegger, a we'll
known engineer, who has built one
furnace at the Michelbacher Huette,
at Michelbacher, and another at the
works of Julius Meyer & Co., at
Norden. The cupola is supplied with
blast through two sets of tuyeres, one
above the other, there being eighteen
in each set. The tuyeres or ports,
which have the form of a vertical slat,
are directly connected with circular
tuyere ring. The particular feature
of the cupola is that the bottom is a
slightly inverted arch, which is pierced
by two openings through which both
blasts, or rather inperfectly consumed
gases of combustion and the fluid iron
can flow. Below is a small chamber
in which THERON collects. 1t is heated
by the gases forced downward from
the cupola above, which are supplied
with the necessary air for combustion
by special tuyere leading from the
main blast pipe. The chamber at the
same time serves for preheating scrap,
etc., which need only be pushed into
the batch for dissolving it. Of course,
it is well known that considerable
quantities of scrap can be used by di,
rectly charging in any ordinary cupola;
but it is claimed that in this case there
are economy of fuel and a greater
facility for making sharp, strong
castings, and purer metal. The
best iron for this purpose is said to
be inferior pig, like No. 8, Middle
borough holding considerable silicon
and little manganese. To it from 40
to SO per cent. of scraps, etc., may be
added. The total consumption OF
fuel is stated to be 10 per cent. of the
weight of the product.

Where the Day Begins.

By general consent the day is sup
posed to begin in longitude $50 degrees
from Greenwich, the meridian of which
crosses the Pacific ocean. The only
known land upon this line, where a
man could stand, is the northeastern
corner of Asia and two or three little
islands. By looking at a terrestrial
globe, it will readily be perceived that
the point where the day begins must
depend entirely upon what prime
meridian is chosen. If we say it is
true noon when the sun crosses the
meridian of Washington, then the
day began on a line running nearly
through the center of Asia.-lNelr York

She Knew Hin by His Broken Toe.

There came to Boston last week a
gentleman from California, who was
paying his native State of Massa-
chusetts a visit, after an absence OF
over thirty-four years. He was one OF
those who, in 1S49, went out to the land
of gold to seek his fortune. He was on
ly nineteen years of age at the time of
his departure, and, like many other
youngsters who have gone out into the
world, soon got weaned of home long
ings. His folks, after time, ceased to
get tidings from him. and for the past
tweuty'years he had been thought to be
dead by his relatives. He came TO
Boston and sought out his relatives,
and found some of Shem; but none of
them recognized in the man of fifty
three years the youth of nineteen
Among others who were not quite sat
isfied with his identity was an aunt
who Ives in the Highlands. ''If yor

you have a mark on you that will con-
vince me of your identity. When he
was a boy he broke one of the toes of
his right foot. j remember distinctly
how it looked and which toe it was. II

believe you are my nephew" Tho
gentleman at once pulled off the boot
aud stocking from his right foot, and
there was the broken toe.-Boston Her

Nose and Ears.

Boys are somewhat peculiar, do
ing many strange things, in consequence
of which a mothers care and advice are
often needed. AS strange as it may
seem, small buttons, beans and the like,
are crowded into the nose, removed
with great difficulty, especially when
round or smooth like peas or beans,
swelling or sprouting as they will do ii
allowed to remain. Their removal de
mands no little skill, if we would avoid
harm to the sensitive membranes. "Pre
vention is easier than cure"
There is yet more danger in tamper
ing with the ear, by crowding SUBJ
stances into it; or in the foolish effort tc
remove the wax, placed there for wise
and beneGcent purpose, though it IL
best, under some circumstances, tc
syringe it out with warm CASTLE soap
and water. The use of pins, needles,
and the like, with the violence some
times observed. is always dangerous,
since the "drum" located about an
inch from the opening is easily irri-
tated, If not broken, by which last acci-
dent the hearing may be destroyed.
The loss of this, as by sores, is often the
cause of permanent deafness and Il at
