Edison, the Wizard, Has a Problem
in Hand.
One Of the objects Of the visit Of
Thomas A. Edison, the Inventor, to
Allentown, Pa, day or two ago was
getting ideas for use in his new mag
uetic ore concentration, which he ex-
poets will work a revolution in the
iron business He was also studying
the working Of the furnaces with a
view Of perfecting another invention
which he has on hand for the charging
Of furnaces by machinery by which
he hopes to greatly cheaper the pro-
duction Of iron.
He has already introduced similar
machinery in his ore mines in New Jer-
sey, whereby the ore is brought to
the surface at a small expense. In
talking of his inventions for the treat
ment Of ores and the operation Of fur
naces, he said he expected soon to be
able to place northern furnaces once
more in a position to compete sue
cessfully with those in the South. By
means Of his magnetic concentrate
he will take 25 per cent of ore, and, by
removing the foreign matter, convert
it into bricks that contain sixty per
cent Of iron.-Philadelpbia Ledger.

A New Enamel for Metals.

The protection Of metals from rust
and other atmospheric influences has
been the subject Of many recent pat
ents, and Of those the newest is for an
enamel for gas apparatus and decora-
tive work Of all kinds. For decorative
effect the capabilities Of this enamel
are great. All colors, the most delicate
dnts in any number, either dead or
bright, and both gold and silver, also
either dull or polished, are obtainable
In the same casting, and all alike are
Interchangeable, being affected neither
by exposure to the air nor to any heat
up to bright red. The film Of enamel
Is so thin that the most microscopic de-
tails of the metal are unchanged.
Castings protected in this manner are
not only capable Of fine artistic treat
ment, but they are also claimed to be
absolutely permanent and proof against
dirt and smoke, which disigure other
work so rapidly.

HSweet Charfty.v

!. In the Artists Exhibition Of 1893 at the
New York Academy Of Design, there was
exhibited an oil painting by J. l.. Ferris,
'sentltled "Sweet Charity" Its richness Of
coloring commanded instant attention, while
the lesson it taught was so impressive that
one naturally returned to it for second
view.
Its subject is a young lady of co .onial
times who is on errand to one of the
lspoorer families of the town. She has a SEN
s:sibe, charming face, which expresses With
remarkable fidelity the sentiment Of her
>errand. There is not a home that this
~charming picture will not ornament. It
must be seen to be appreciated.
Sweet Charity" was purchased by the
publishers of the Youths Companion, and
has been reproduced in colors in large size,
l4H2x2l.
It will be sent to all new subscribers to
The Companion who send $1.75 for years

A Princess IncOE.

Princess Teresa, daughter Of the king
regent Of Bavaria, has been visiting the
worlds fair. Although famous woman
of Europe, her presence in Chicago was
known by only a half-dozen persons,
for she came alone, excepting the pres
ence of maid, and neglected no pre-
caution to keep her identity unknown.
Princess Teresa is about thirty five
years old and unmarried. She has &C.
quired some reputa ton as an author
and is a member of the Academy of
Sciences Of Munich, and has been all
over the world, and invariably travels
as an everyday sightseer. She has
just completed an extended trip in
South America, and took occasion to
see the exposition on her way home.
