EATIVE AFRICAN IRoNMASTERs.
How the Balubans Produce Results From
the Crude Material.
London Iron.

London Iron.
The Balnbans, as the natives OF the Muan-
sauyomma district OF Central Africa are
STYLED, enjoy an excellent local reputation
as ironworkers. They find their cruda
material in the form of bogiron ore on the
surface of the land. Ii rarely happens that
digging TO an appreeiable depth is ueces-
sary. Their smelling furnaces, which are
constructed of clay, are from six TO ten feet
high, from forty TO sixty inches in diameter
at the base and conical in shape. The ora
is tipped into the furnace from above, the
charcoal, on the other hand, is intrOdnrsd
into basn-like side openings which also
receive a continuous airblast while the iron
and stag are removed from the bottam of
the furnace about every eight or twelve
hours, according TO the degree of heat
obtained.
The forge is circular building, some six
teen feet in diameter, with a pointed roof
and open sides. At distance II might he
taken for a park band stand. In the center
OF this hut is the fire, which is maintained
in constant activity by means Of unique
pair of bellows. which merit a special de-
scription. They consist of a block of wood
generally twenty inches long, followed Out
and ntted with funnel head made ont of
clay. AT the lower end are two orifces.

Very hneaxes, tastefully inlaid with cop

lery from Liverpool to San Francisco by
way of New Orleans was 81 OF per leo
pounds, so cents being for rates from New
Orleans to San Francisco. But when the
same class of articles reached New Orleans
from New York and other American cities
the rate to San Francisco op books was
50 CA. on carpets 50 SO and on cutlery S3 &c

Company has in recent years conducted
its business on the assumption that
the interests Of all other branches OF
business in the United States were sub.
ordinate to those of the Southern Pacific
Company. Thus the plea that If 1t did not
carry foreign goods at lower rates than 1t
carried American goods it could not get the

the Southern Pacific managers sound one.
But the Federal courts have reminded that
company that other interests are to be con-
