urNrINa CASUALTIES.

Tho season wherein certain men delight TO thaw
ont dynamite in the oven Of the kitchen stove
has drawn to close, and that other, no less
deadly, when another class peer down the long,
dark barrel of the fowlng-piece 10 ascertain the
condition of the load, Is being ushered in. The
individual, usually an extremely young man with
a promising future necessarily all before him, who
playfully points the pocket pistol ut friend and
pulls the trigger only TO regret It, has all seasons
for his own. As re CARDS the thawing OF dynamite
or use of the double barrelled shotgun IN the guse
of an opera-glass, obviously men cannot learn OF
the dangers they involve by personal experience;
the effects are too sudden and fatal; but this does
not apply to the pistol unfortunately not loaded.
as IL is the friend who is cut of, ana In the case
OF the Others It would seem rs IL they might profit
by the sad experience OF their fellow men.
IL is safe to say that scores Of lives will be sacri

and fall by carelessness in the handling Of gums
P,ering curiously down the barrel Is only one Of
the ways which help on the destruction Placing
the toe of one foot on the hammer, and blowing
down the barrel to ascertain If the weapon is or is
not loaded, ia another, and while IL is better
plan than swapping It at friend with similar
object in view the actual increase in the DEATH
rate Is the same IN both cases. But both of these
though popularity supposed to he very common,
are not so in reality, and prnctised chiefly by
persons who wouh kill themselves directly in some
way anyhow; perhaps the plan which is RESPONSE
bic for the deaths is the practice OF seeking
10 remove the gun from u boat wagon, tent, or
some similar place by selling hold Of the muzzle
and pulling vigorously but ill-adviadly. This
hammers OF the gun usually catch on something.
and the natural result follows. II seems strange
that men cannot learn that shot-guns, unlike the

! mad bridges and the use Of iron in many other
WAYS in building and operating raiiroaos, Oh
! which accurate estimates cannot be MADE tnere
| ;s ,easou 70 believe that actual consumption, ex-
clusive of all railroad uses, was fully as large
last wear as in any previous year. For the rec
ord ~ 1887 was in that respect unprecedented.
The accounts for previous years are made up
mora accurately than as yet they can be for
last year, with allowance for iron in manufact-
urery stocks and imported iron in warehouse.
In the fiscal year 1852, the consumption was
about thirty-two pounds per capita for rails
and seyenty-three and one-half for other uses.
Until 1868 this was not equalled but in that
year the consumption was thirty-three and one
half pounds for rails, and nearly eighty nine
pounds per inhabitant for other uses, in part
because of the war demand. In 1872 there
were used sixty EIGHT pounds per capita IN rail1
and 120 pounds in other forms, but the col
lapse of industries then caused decline to
thirty nine pounds per inhabtant for rails in
1876 and only sixty-four pounds for other uses.
Since that time the increase has been enormous.
The use of rails rose TO eighty-three and one
half pounds in 1881, and other iron rose to lei
pounds per inhabitant; then rails fell OF to
thirty eight pounds in 1885, and other iron to
IA 0 pounds but in 1885 both increased to sixty
one and one-hal for rails and 2 06 1-2 for ether
iron, and approximate figures for 1887 and
1888 have already been given.
The general depression last year, Of which
there was so much complaint, was felt ny the
iron industry mainly in the demand for rail-
road uses. This year, with q larger consump-
ton Of domestic pig than has ever been re-
corded in any previous year, the demand for
rails seems to be even smaller than in 1888,
indicating that tho consumption of other iron
must be above the highest mark OF preceding

THE DAYMARES PEOPLE SAFE.

The prolonged suspense in regard to the fate
of the Danmarks passengers and crew has been
ended. News has been received ut Lisbon OF
the safe arrival of all except an engineer at the
Azores whence about one-half OF them pro-
ceeded to Lisbon while the remainder resumed
their voyage across the Atlantic. The Dan
mark, II appears broke her shaft on April !
the next day she fell in with the steamer Mis-
souri,, bound for Philadelphia, which towed her
until tho disabled vessel seemed about to sink.
All on board were then transferred to the Mis-
souri,, which proceeded to the Azores, the near
est point. Thus the suppos!tion that found
most ready acceptance proves to have been cor
rect. This riddle Of the sea IL read, and in
stead of an appalling calamity, ii turns out that
only An engineer lost his life through tho mis-
hap which resulted in the destruction OF tho
Danmark.
This happy relief from anxiety, which among
the friends of those aboard the Danmark must
have been rapidly deepening into despair, will
be welcomed throughout tho world. There
was, from the first, evidence to encourage tho
belief that the disaster which overlook the
steamer had spared her passengers, but "a the
days went past without q solution OF the mys-
terry, faith in their safety became feeble. The
universal solictude Is ut last relieved, but full
details Of the mishap and the rescue will be
eagerly awaited.

TIE NATIONS USE OF IRON

Whether the Nation is truly prosperous or not
can be determined, many persons believe, with
great accuracy by comparison OF production and
consumption OF iron. But this barometer, II
read after that fashion, often proves mislead-
ing. When the rage for railroad building Is at
it's worst and financial crash is near, con-
sumption OF iron is usually high A more re-
liable indication is found in the consumption Of
iron in other forms than for railroads. The Of
fetal report of the Iron and Steel Association,
made public recently, supplies the data for
comparison of quantities consumed and sources
Of supply.
The production OF pig iron was larger than in
1887 or in any preceding year, reaching
7,288,507 tons Of z, 1000 pounds, and yet the
quantity of rails manufactured was only
l,578,144 tons, against 2, 500, 397 the previous
year. So great decrease, with an absolute in
crease in supply Of raw iron from home furnaces,
suggests at once that lower prices excluded i'm
ports to great extent. SO II appears from Of
fetal reports that about 857 900 tons less Of
pig and scrap iron, II 900 tons less Of rails and
si4, 900 tons hss Of other iron were imported
last year than in 1887. Using these official
figures with those of the Iron and Steel Asso-
citation IL Il found that about 261 pounds for
every inhabitant were consumed In all forms
last year, of which about fifty lone pounds were
in the form Of rails, domestic and imported, and
2l0 pounds for every inhabitsnt in all other
ferns. The estimated population for July
is here taken. A similas estimate for the previ-
Gus year shows an apparent consumption Of 80 3
pounds for every inhabitant Of which about
eighty two pounds were in the form Of rails, and
22i pounds In other forms.
Here II Is sesps how small, comparatively. was
the decrease In consumption Of iron for other
than raiirosd uses. Indeed when allowance Is
made Tor ths building Of cars, locemetiYes, rail.
