Growth of the structural Iron Trade.

The impression has been created by the
ranid increase in the number of fire. proof
buildings in our leading cities, that the
consumption Of iron and steel beams must
have developed at tremendous rate. 80
far as we can learn that is not the case, the
production being at the rate OF about l00,-
Don tons per annum, while il was 9OOO0 tons
Two wears since. As compared with the
consumption Of barb wire. tin plate, or
nails, this quantity is very moderate in
deed. Ii sinks iutO insignhcance beside
lhe demand for rails or pig iron for foundry
purposes. Ii has been urged that the con-
sumption OF beams would increase enor-
m0usly were the price lower. la Germany,
where the demand is far more widespread,
the beammanuiacturers have adopted sim
pie method of introducing their wares. The
village builders have been accustomed TO
follow certain rules based on experience for
determining the dimensions OF the timber
used for certain spans. The rolling mills
got cut books giving the exact equivalents
ia strength Of he different sizes of sticks OF
timber 50 used, with the price of the steel
beam delivered. Thus the small builder 10
placed in the position 20 tell at glance
whether il is cheaper for him 10 supplant
wood with steel. 10 is reported that the
for small buildings has grown
In an extraordinary degree. Still, we ques-
ton whether such result could be reached
la this country, because the relative cost of
timber and steel is quite different. How il
will be upon completion OF the increased

being provided is another question. The
trade looks forward 10 a lowering in prices
when the additions 10 plant are completed.

Another Mvth Discovered.

Yet another tradition dispr0yed and a
graceful legend upset and dlscredited.
Every one knows who wrote the music Of
the "Marseillaise," and how ROuget de
rlsle, lying IN prison in Paris. heard the
troops marching from the south sing the
famous war song which he had composed

troops were coming frm Marseilles
ROuget de l'Isle's hymn was hencefOrth
called the 'MarseIllaise, and IN 1880 its
composer was pensiOned by Louis Philippe
Well, Rouget did not write the music at all

two years before the taking OF the Bastile,
he drew up an inventory Of all his works

Organist would have wished, but also

the OratOrlO was that very hymn 10
which, two years after the choirmaster's
retirement, Rouget de rIsle set his
famous words. The manuscript has lately
been brought forth from sbscurity and the
air discovered in the composers autograph.
There is even something stranger. The
battle hymn. as R0uget wrote il. had Ger.
tain horid passages which he judged In ac-
cord with martial music. Subsequent ar
rangements by more skilled composers have
reduced or omitted these, and in 10 doing
have left the composition exactly as il
