The date when the art of working iron
Was first discovered is unknown. 1t must
have been very early, as specimens Of
wrought iron exist that can be traced to
extremely ancient times. The oldest
steel implements in existence perhaps
are the sickle blade found bv Belzoni
under the base of the sphinx in Karnac,
near Thebes; the blade found by Colonel
yyse imbedded in the mortar OF the
Great Pyramid, and portion Of cross
cut saw exhumed ut Ninrod by Mr.. lay
ard--all Of which are now in the British
museum. A wrought bar Of Damascus
steel was presented by King Porus to Al
exaDder the Great. This relic of un-
known antiquity 10 still preserved at Con-
stantinople. The Hindoos appear to
have made wrought iron directly from
the ore, without passing 1t through the
furnace, an art now lost. Elaborate iron
pillars made by this system are still seen
in India, some Of them dating from ten
centuries before the opening Of the Chris.
tisn era.

THE NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND.
A Plain Statement of Facts By General
 Manager Howard.

Manager Howard.
 The future of the New York & New England railroad is an all-absOrbing sub- iect of interest just now. The history of this road has been a varied and in- teresting one, and it looks at present as though new and important era was about to dawn upon it. Ever since he assumed the management of the road a couple of years ago, Vice-President and General Manager Charles Howard has been laboring most necessarily and faithfully to promote it's welfare and place it on the firm foundation he has always believed it could and should oc- cupy. The result of the practical and progressive policy he has been themselves in most un- mistakable manner, and point to even greater accomplishments in the future. MT Howard, who knows a thing or two about railroading, has given his per sonal attention to the manifold details involved in the work of improving the road, until he has mastered the problem in all its various aspects, and for the future development of the big New York and New England system he has certain plans in mind of which con- siderable will, in all probability, be heard before long. The most impor- tant of these is the proposed double tracking of the road from Hartford to the Hu lson, an improvement that Is imperatively demanded by the great in- crease in through freight traffic that has become manifest of late. In re- cent interview published in Boston paper MT Howard has this to say
 "Every ton of traffic on the road is profitable and would be more profitable If the road should be double tracked to the Hudson. The traffic inter changed with the Erie has been especially singled out, and positive allegations made that the more of it there is, the worse for the road. To disprove these it is simply necessary to state the facts. The road receives minimum of Six mills per ton per mile, which on the 22S mile haul means $20.52 per car load of 15 tons, or S399 8S per train of 19 cars east bound. The west bound traffic averages 35 per cent of the east bound, so that at equal rates on west bound goods (and the classification of the west bound goods is generally higher, the gross earnings of a tram of 19 cars from Fishkill landing to Boston and back IS not less than $526.33. The cost of haul ing, including every possible expense except taxes, as shown by the railroad commissioners report. averages little less than 80 cents per train mile, which is S364. so cost for 456 miles round trip, and leaves $161.53 net profit on each train. On a similar computation ot freight from the Pennsylvania connec- tion, on an average of 9.3 miles per ton per mile, which is the actual rate re- ceived, the gross earnings are $419.63, and net S232. .93, per train of 19 cars fol the round trip, IF miles each way

chandler's Railroad Pass Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Senator Chand- lers successful fight against the Boston & Maine Railroad for issuing passes in violation of the Interstate Commerce law was the probable reason for the introduce tion of a bill by him yesterday to re-en- force the provisions of the Interstate Commerce law. The bill provides that giving free transportation, except as all lowed by the act shall be deemed unjust discrimination, and shall be punished as provided by the act. Railroads are com pelled to keep a record of passes issued and the record is to be at the disposal of stockholders of the road, the railroad commissioners of the State and the Inter- state Commerce Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - There is but little doubt now that Congress will ap- propriate $100, GOO to defray the expenses of shipping supplies to the Starving Rus sians and the question of the proper me dium through which to distribute these supplies is also, it would seem, practically settled by general concurrence in the de cision in Iowa and in other communities to make the Red Cross Society the one ac credited agency.
