BALTIMORE, July 11.-Special reports
TO the Manufscturers' Record show
continuation of activity in all lines of
industrial interests throughout the
South. The recent heavy advance in
iron is forcing all iron making and coal
mining companies to push their plants
TO their full productive capacity, and is
already resulting in arrangements being
made for large additions to established
plants and in the starting Of new enter
prlses. Several projects are now being
mesured for building new furnaces by
experienced iron men backed by ample
capital. All indications point to as
great activity in the iron and coal inter-
ests Of the South as has recently been
seen in the textile line.

ably ever produced in the South, the
general outlook is regarded as indicat.
Ing very great activity this fall.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-With the ex-
ception OF the Mare Island, California
navy yards, the forces Of employees in the
various navy yard will suffer severely
from enforced reductions about the first

the completion of the most important
work on hand and the failure OF Con-

struction.

main OF large projects only the work of

by Chief Constructor Hichborn last fall.

folly Of allowing the forces OF trained
expert workmen whom the department
had gathered az tho yards with great
difficulty and after thorough exemi-

TICKLING FINGER TIPS.

The SiShtless Readers Laugh and Cry
Over tho Pages.
One of the strangest sights in Brock.
Ign is that of blind men laughing OF
crying over the books they are read.
ing. This thing can be seen almost
any day in the circulating library for
estant Episcopal church Of the Mes
.siah, on Greene avenue. There are
more than three hundred volumes in
the librrry, including the English and
American poets, books of fiction, such
as Dickens aud Scott, history, text
books and books on theological and
sacred subjects. These are printed in
Boston line" a raised type invented
BY DR.. Howe, of Boston, in 1885.
The library has about one hundred
fifty readers, and the number is con-
stantly increasing. They read with
great rapidity, running their fingers
along the lines like a skilled
musician over the keys of piano.
They are often affected to tears
or laughter, for they have not
that instinct of self-control which
comes to us from the constant knowl.
edge that other people see us-and it
is odd to watch them running one
hand over the f1attened books and
wiping the tears from their sightless
eyes with the other. They are not al
lowed to speak aloud for fear of dis
turbing the other readers, so when
one of them comes to a particularly
good thiDg-something worth laugh
ing over--he punches his neigh Dor in
the ribs and guides his hand to the
affecting lines. In second, as if
something were tickling the ends of
his fingers, the second begins to laugh
and shake so violently sometimes that
his fingers get off on the wrong line.
This is said to be the only circulat-
ing library for the blind in the metro
politan district. It's readers have one
advantage, they have just as much
fun. reading in the dark as under the
gaslight. The nucleus of the library
was formed some years ago by the
Mizpah circle of blind men. Their
quarters became too small for the
books they had collected, and in 1890
they applied to the Protestant Episco-
pal church of the Messiah. Brook VI
