A company has been formed to at
tempt to reconstruct the manufacture
of charcoal iron in the province Con-
naught, Ireland, where some of the
richest ores nre located. Hitherto the
proNibitive price Of peat charcoal has
precludcd the profitable manufacture
OF charcoal iron. This impediment has
been removed by the Rose rctorts,"
which produce an excellent charcoal at
q low cost, while the by-products, sui
plate OF ammonia, etc, can be saved
and also lessen the price Of the char
coal.

Of nearly SO, 900 people, has been with
out any means of public transportation

strong legs through climbing up and
down their hills, and the cessation of

and were u source of much comfort

The remains were inferred ir the

and appropriate services were also
held, and the fragile body was laid
