Inc imports Tor these months for 1872
are nearly 40 per cent. less than the
average for the same period during
each OF the three previous years.
In view of these FACTS it is no wonder
that a number of the mills of South
Wales and M%onmouthshire are idle,
and that, in the language of the Iron
and Steel Trades Journal, cit will
probably be a long time before the
works are again in full work"
To what is this due? First, no doubt,
to the excessive i%mportations of the last
six months of 1880 and the first six
months of 1891, though the total imports
for each of the years 1890 and 1891 did
not equal 1889. Second. to the fact that
made in this country, has taken the
place of imported tin and terne plates.
For example, sheet iron roofing, paint
ed, has been substituted for terne plates,
and untinneu sheets for stamping in
place Of th;nly timed sheets. Glass lars
have been substituted for tin cans, and
with the prices that have been put up
on tin by the holders old tinware is used
a little longer and the sale of new tin
goods decreased. To say that Welsh
tin-makers are sorely disappointed is to
put it mildly They will be more so in
AS to the building of American tin
plate works. 1t is useless for those OBJ
posed to the tariff on tin plate to DENY
longerthat Americanti tin plate works that
will both make the black plate and tin
it are IN course of construction, and
some are in operation. There are also
others that only tin black plates. Some
of these make tin plates, some terne.
but the law cover not only tin, but
terne plates as we'll, and our imports all
along have been both tin and terne
plates. And if it is asserted, as it often
is, with an air of "now-you-are-caught."
that we are making terne plate, isn't
Wales doing it also? But we are maxi
ing tin plate, too, and before snow flies
the croakers will be surprised at what
is being done. A rolling mill to make
black plates is not built in a day, but
several mills are in our of construc-
ton. AS we stated in our Tin Plate
Supplement, works with a weekly
capacity of $4,000 boxes are built or
building, and others contemplated, that
will probably be built in the near
future, will bring the total up to 5000
boxes. The tin plate industry is devel-
oping much faster than the steel rail in
dustry did.

The Springfield Union has a not alto

The heavy imports of tin plate in the

"Lumpy Jaw, is Contagious.

EDS. RECORD UNION: / noticed an item
in your paper of January 18th, in regard
to Investigations ofactinomycosis Qumpy
jaw held in Philadelphia. The author
of said item says that no cases are on
record where the disease was transmitted
to man from eating diseased meat. He
also states that the conclusion reached by
these investigators is, that when the
lungs, liver and other organs are not af-
fected it is probably safe to use the
meat, and they saw no reason why such
meat should not be sold, after proper in
spection.
l would like to state few facts, and
then let the public draw their own con-
illusions. This is a specific disease of
much interest in the United States to-
day. 1t exists among our cattle TO an
alarming extent, our live stock markets
witnessing hundreds of cases monthly.
In view OF the possible transmissibility
to man it has become a question of ma
tional Importance, and one which has
been too long neglected by sanitarians.
Ii all those who ventured opinions on this
subject would have searched the history
of the malady fully its pathology, causa-
ton, dissemination, and the most accur-
ate of the old as well as of the new in
vestigations, experiments and discover
les, they must have come to the unani-
nous verdict, viz: that actinomycosis
Qumpy jaw is specific, parasitic, and,
therefore, transmissible affection.
Whether directly or indirectly trans
mitted is not the all-important point, but
the fact that it is at all transmissible in
any way is the interesting feature; and
when we consider that the disease in man
and beast is identical, we have still a far
more interesting subject.
The disease was investigated and found
TO be due to specific parasite, by such
noted veterinarians as Bollinger Ger
many, Lebert (France), Rivolta Italy,
and others. The conclusions reached by
these Investigators stimulated others, and
again sthe study of the disease in man
kind was undertaken. Isreal Germany,
described three cases in man, and Pom
fick identified the similarity of actinomy-
COSTS in man and cattle, and since then
Europe has reported over a hundred
cases in human beings, while dozen or
so are recorded here and there in America
as having been identified.
Having so much of it in cattle, think
that some cases of actinomycosis in man,
like cases OF CHAMBERS, are not recognized.
A friend of mine knew of case in South
ern Missouri which local physicians
diagnosed by various names. The man
had probably contracted the disease from
an OK which was suffering from lumpy

The Formers Experience as Druggist
Again Made Public.
George +. Parker, who has earned con-
siderable notoriety in the courts of late,
has recommended his suit against F. w.
Frat for $40, 400 and costs.
Parker complains that Frat took adj
vantage of his "credulous and confiding
disposition" and induced him to buy a
drug store at Second and K streets. Fratt
owned the building and had been renting
the store to man named Meredith. The
latter became indebted to him and it was
then, says Parker, that Frat induced him
lParkerl to go into the drug business-to
take the place out of Meridith's hands,
and square the debts.
Parker says in his complaint that he
conducted the business up to June, 1891,
when the place was attached for debts.
de says he invested 5000 in the bust
ness, paid 81, 600 for clerk hire, and sus-
tanned loss in his mercantile credit of
5000. He frequently demanded of de-
Iendant remuneration for his losses, he
says, but Frat failed to respond. Parker
demands judgment for $1,000 invested,

At about O'Clock he overhauIed them in
the alley off Sixth street, between l

The young men ''showed fight" and
between them they gave the Constable a
lively shaking up. He chung on to them,
however, until Deputy ConstabIes Martin
