The Steel Rail Industry.

The Bessemer process of making steel rails was
introduced in this country in 1864, and since that
date thirty six Bessemer steel-rail plants have
been erected, and of this number but two have
gone out of existence. OF the thirty-four works
i'll existence. six are in Allegheny county, the
Edgar Thomson-three ten-ton converters-be-
ing the largest. and having only one equal to it
in capacity in the country, the North Chicago
Rolling-mll Company's works. The Thomson
was erected in 1875. After it came in order of
their construction the Pittsburg Bessemer, two
four-ton converters; the Pittsburg Steel Casting
Company, one flve-ton converter; Jones 81 Laugh
Inns, two seven-ton converters; Shoenberger 81
Co., one seven-ton converter Oliver Brothers 81
Phillips, two two-ton converters The last named
is Clapp Griffith plant, and was started in
March, 1884, being next in order of time to the
Pittsburg Steel Casting Company. Bessemer
steel by the original, or acid, process
can now be manufactured in the
United States, and. has for several
years been manufactured. without payment of
royalty for the use of any patent whatever An
idea of the output of q converter may be formed
from the fact that the two two-ton converters Of
Oliver Brothers u Phillips averaged from 160 to
It's tons in twenty four hours and could work to
over 200 tons, but they are under the disadvant-
age of having no blooming mill for their ingots
The Pittsburg Dispatch states that in 1885 there
were 1701 757 tons of Bessemer made in this
country, of which Pennsylvania made 65 per
cent, Illinois % per cent, and seven other States
Upper cent The rail output tor 1885 was ,074 GOT
tons, of which Pennsylvania supplied GO per
cent, Illinois 20 per cent and other States per
cent The production of rails was less than for
any year since 1878 As an indication of the
march of steel, it should be stated that in 1882
the proportion of Bessemer steel ingots which
was converted into rails was So per cent, in 1883
it was 78 per cent, in 1884 it was Y per cent,
and in 1885 it was 63 per cent.

The train records show that there were re-
ceived and forwarded last week over the fifteen
roads total of % 657 cars, 16 S08 of which were
loaded against total of 10. 165 in the week end
ing Feb g. of which number IA lit were loaded,
and against total of II 768 in the corresponding
week. 1885, Of which number l3. $50 were loaded.
1t will be seen that the movement of loaded cars
last week exceeded that of the week ending Feb.
6, 2,69l cars, and that of the corresponding
week. 1885, 3.578 loaded cars. The exhibit
is the more gratifying from the fact that this
markedly heavy tonnage for week in mid win
ter has been carried at paying rates-yes, so per
cent. better rates than property was carried at
the corresponding period in either 1883, 1884 or
lSoo-consequently handsome earnings the Sec
ond week in February will result. The improve
ment IN business seems to have been quite gen.
eral but the most marked in east and west
bound tonnage. East there has been brisk
movement of grain to New York and New
England points. and a considerable tonnage
comparatively speaking in export freights; and
the latter class of traffic, it is thought is to in
crease quite handsomely in the next few weeks.
Not for many years has export business been at
so low an ebb as for few months past. We
notice that more -four and lumber is moving
eastward yet the tonnage of lumber is much
lighter than usual at this season of the year.
West-bound traffic is reaching quite satisfactory
proportions and promises to be heavy for some
months to come. A large per cens of the ton
mage is frst-class freight Through live stock
shipments are unusually light. and little i'm
provement is looked for before next month
North and south roads are doing good winter
business. There is still considerable move
ment of provisions and corn to Southern mar
kets, and quite heavy tonnage of ice. Local
business is up to the usual tonnage at this
of the year, and considerably heavier than in

1t Is stated that the main topic that required
the attention of the presidents of the trunk lines

between the members of the executive commit

organization of the new trunk-line east-bound

TnaDca, etc. Some of the lines wanted the busi-
ness to be subject to separate divisions, accord
ing 40 it was destined for points strictly local to
each line for New England and for other places.
The argument in favor of the old system was
that although large amount of competitive
traffic was included in the gross division among
reads that could not compete for it, this fact was
considered in the award OF gross percentages SO

The Reorganization Scheme Progressing Sat-
isfactorily.
The reorganization plan of the Danville. Olney
& Ohio River Railroad Company is said to be
progressing satisfactorily. OF the $776 900 first
mortgage bonds, all except about $4,000 have
assented to the reorganization plan, although
abe 20 per cent assessment called for under the
circular of Dec. 81 has not been paid by some
eI6O0 bonds which have assented The reor-
ganization of the company contenplates the is
sue of new preferred bond to bondholders in
return for the 20 per cent assessment, while the
new mortgage to issue will not exceed So, 900
per mile upon the ninety five miles of road. The
cid mortgage bonds will be converted into
second mortgage income bond at the rate of 70
per cent of present holdings, and the balance in
ecmmon stock. The Corbin interest which now
has full charge of matters. will probably go
ahead and try to put the road into such condi-

Nearly all the crayons IN - now are
not drawn 10y the artist at ali, but are
merely sun-printS filled in. The artists
have sun-print of the proper size made
of the party whose portrait they are to
execute. These prints are sort of dim
photographs, and, like photographs,
have brownish tint, and crayons which
have been filled in from them retain this
tint about the outlines and it can he no
ticed in the best Of them if you look into
them closely. The real crayon has
blush tint. With these sun-print cray
ons no drawing is necessary and they
can be turned out very rapidly. Any
body can fill them in with crayon,
though of course some people do the
work better than others.
One man who had big reputation
here as a crayon artist did all his work
this way, although he claimed his por-
traits were genuine crayons, and drawn
free hand. He had quite a snap here,
receiving $50 and $50 for portraits which
it took about day and half to fill in.
He was an expert at filling in, however,
all his portraits having a soft, beautiful
finish, but if you take the trouble to
scrutinize them closely you will find
they all have brownish tint mt the out

A Woman of the seryian War.

There is a young woman at Widdin
who went through the Servisn war dis
guised as man. Only the commander
of her company knew her secret; she
was obliged to disclose it to him when
the company set out upon its march, and
he appears to have loyalty kept it to him
self. In all exercises, parades and re-
views she took part jointly with her male
comrades. The heroine took part in the
forced march into Servia, fought at the
battle of Slivnitza and joined in the at
tack upon Prot. Her comrades voted
to her the company's medal for bravery.
When, in consequence of the war coming
to an end. the militia was dispersed. she
went to Sofia, and was there presented to
Prince Alexander, who awarded TO her
a second decoration for bravery. She
then returned to Widdin, her place of
domicile before the war, where she now
acts as servant to an old lady.-Foreign

Yearly Collection for the Hospitals.

Yearly Collection for the Hospitals.
One of the strangest sights of London
is the yearly collection for the hospitals
on Hospital Saturday. In almost every
corner of the great city and its suburbs
are to be seen ladies seated at small
tables set on the sidewalk. A large
placard is attached to the table soliciting
a contribution. On the table is placed a
box with "a slit in the lid through which
penny can he dropped, and on the box
is printed the worde, For the hospitals"
The lady does not solicit contributions.
She sits on a chair beside a little table,
sometimes knitting complacently or has
a book i'm her hand. Often couple of
little girls act as solicitors and modestly
request the passers-by to remember the
sick and the wounded. Ladies Of the
highest social standing do not consider it
beneath them TO attend to contribution
boxes on Hospital Saturday. These little
tables obstruct the crowded thorough
fares, They are on the bridges and
along busy streets, but everybody cheer
fully gives way for them, and few pass
them by without dropping their mite in
the box for the hospitals. Free

Armored ships Not I'm Repute.

1t is, therefore, fact that armor clads
are drifting into disrepute. 1t can not
be disguised that at the present time
there are very earnest debates on this
point. The question as it affects the
armored ship stands differently from
what it did some years ago. An insig-
nificant torpedo boat may by one blow
destroy the Infiexible. To meet this
species of peril it has been proposed to
armorplate the bottom of the ships.
Such proposal seems to be carrying
the principle of employing armor to the
verge of absurdity. There is demand
on the part Of naval officers for crinoline
netting to protect the ships against loco
motive torpedoes. But where this de-
vice is adopted it can not be said to give
a sense of security. Moreover, the use
Of such an appliance initiates against
the speed and hardness of the vessel,
and exposes her to other risks.-English

The Appetites OF the Microbes.


The newspapers dub NJ. Pasteur sci
enlist. am not sure that he is one in
the broad signifcation of the term. He
certainly has not wide intellect Ial hori-
zon. Perhaps if he had he would not be
so concentrated. But my feeling is that
he is quarrying stones wherewith man
of more far-reaching mental vision will
build up great theories. Iheard him say
a thing which struck me as being hereti-
cal to the last degree. A lady from
Nancy, who had been inoculated by him
seven times for dogs bite, told hin
that before she began to follow his treat
ment she neither ate nor slept well, and
had never at any time good appetite;
whereas, from the time of the second in
oculation, she had become permanently
hungry and sleepy. What was allowed
her at well-iurnished table d'hote did
not half satisfy her.
Pasteur ascribed this change to his
treatment, aud told me that "moculation
for rabies Often renewed the constitu-
tion." My nntion-but l did not dare
suggest twas that the lady became
ravenouS because devoured by microbes.
Nature prunpHtd her TO eat 10 feed them,

their presence in every inch of her flesh
caused. She ,cpt as she never slumbered

The Only Poisonous Lizard Known.

The helodermo is the only poisonous
lizard in the world, as far as is known,
and is confined to Mexico, Lower Cali
fornia and Arizona. The common name
is the ella monster. The poison comes
from poison glands, and the teeth are
channeled to accelerate its passage into
the wound. Brandy and whisky are
generally antidotes to rattlesnake poison,
but fail in the case of bite from this
reptile. The poison of the heloderma is
entirely different from that of a snake.
The latter kills by paralyzing the res
piratory centre, while the poison of the
gila monster paralyzes the heart. Ex-
periments have been made showing that
simultaneous injections cause no local in
jury, while the action of the heart was
seriously affected, becoming slowly con-
tracted while the spinal cord is paralyzed.
