Furnacemen Using Smaller Percentage Than
They Were Inclined TO a Few Years.AGo.
The Cleveland Iron Trade Review OF
last week contained an interestingarticle
on the percentage OF Mesabi ore used in
iurance mixtures. We reproduce the
article below:
Furnace practice with ores from the
Mesabi range seems quite as far from
uniformity, or from any approximate
agreement as TO the most advantageous
percentage, as in either of the preced-
ing years, in which the use of these ores
has been general. The fact that seventy
five per cent Of Mesabi ores has been
used for "a short time in the furnaces OF
one interest has not established any
such basis for practice, either in the case
cited or at other furnaces. With some
iurnacemen, indeed, there is less incli-
nation today To use liberal percentages
OF Mesabi ores than in preceding years,
when the conditions OF the problem were
presumably less understood. Perhaps
one factor i'm the diverse reports con.
corning these ores has not been allowed
ence in Mesabi ores themselves. 1t has
been customary to rcfer TO these ores as
a class, as though they were OF sub
stantially the same iineness and there
fore involved the same possibilities oi
trouble from llue-lust, hangs. and top
explosions. AS matter of fact there
are wide variations in these ores. Some
OF them, for example, are so fine that
four times as much OF typical sample
lot passes through l00-mesh sieve, as
OF other ores that have lumpy character
istic that commends them To the fur
naceman. IL is thus likely that what
hhs been known as the "AIesabi differ
etftial" will itself bc differentiated, as
more through acquaintance with the
various ores OF the range makes IL posi-
bile to determine the place OF each.
Those that have physical charactistics
putting them on par with well known
old range ores will stand close 10 the
price Of the latter; those that 10y reason
OF their exceeding flnaness cannot be
used in as large percentages in the fur
mace, will naturally fall still lower in
price. IL would not be surprising TO find
IN the market designations OF the near
future, "Mesabi ores, coarse" and "Me-
sabi ores, fine, or, il not actual division
into classes, n discrimination by buyers
that will make the physical character
istics an important element in dctermin-
ing the percentages that can bo used and,
therefore, the price that should be paid.

FROM THE MINES
THE IRON MARKET.

The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume of
the Week In Iron Circles.
la the absence OF new sales oi ore Of
any significant size. interest centers in
the statement OF shipments Of July l
and its bearing on the situation later in
the season. June shipments of ore from
all upper lake ports we're 1,0l5,245
gross tons, making the total to July 1,
3;02S ,SS4 tons. az compared with o.
CSC. 465 tons TO July /, last year, 81
1I2, 757 tons TO the same date in 1895
and 2, COS, 4f2 tons TO July /, 1894.
From Two Harbors June shipments
were the heaviest mont his total in the
history OF the port and the Duluth bust
ness was large, but Mt other ports not
up TO that OF June last year. 1t will be
seen that the July l total is $4,000 tons
below last years figures. On June /, ,
the 1897 total was 100000 tons behind
1S96, showing that ground has been lost
in June, as compared with 1896. Dis.
patch is probably the worst known, at
some docks, cahes being reported in
which boats have been held five days at
Lake Erie docks. II this condition con
tinues, owners may consider taking part
OF their boats out OF commission in
July, as freights, bad as they now are,
will speedily go TO pieces with such a
supply of Tonnage az will soon be ON the
market. The significance OF the sta
tistics OF shipments, in connection with
the dock situation, is that large
amount OF ore will require to be moved
when grain will be IA more active com
petitor for tonnage.

Supreme Record Keeper Reports an In
crease-Of Interest to Bees.
Referring to the matter of new tents the
supreme record keeper, in his report, says:
The table shows that during the biennial
term ending Dec. 81, 1896, 1900 new tents
We're instituted with charter mem bership
of 23, 1SO During the preceding biennial
term 1,005 were instituted with 20,271
members making Il gain over the preced
ing term of 1876 tents and 1900 members.
The average age of the charter members
admitted during the past term was 80
years 3 months. The previous term it
was 32 years, 8 months and 20 days, a do
crease of 6 months and 20 days.
There have been ,O59 deaths in supreme
tent jurisdiction during the biennial term,
being an average annually on the life ben
eft membership of 5.66 to each 1000 life
benefit members.
The average age of deceased members
for the last term was 80 years, 5 months
and 8 days, and the average time In the
order before death was years, months
and II days.
There were 90, 9O2 life beneficiary certif-
icates annulled by reason of suspension
the past biennial term, being a little less
than z. 80 per cent per annum of the men,
bership. This is 2. so per cent less yearly
than during the previous biennial term.

Finding Their Food.

1t is really surprising in how high
latitudes are to be found animals that
live on herbage, thriving as though pas
turage were abundant. The musk OK,
the reindeer, the hare and the lemming
belong to this order, and they are all
found as far north as explorers have yet
gone.
These creatures have to feed under
the snow for a large part of the year.
They remove the covering with the hoof
or the paw, as we sometimes see sheep
paw the snow from grass, and feed over
large pieces of ground even when the
snow is several inches in depth
The reindeer and the musk OK, on the
other hand, live where the ground is
covered with snow almost all the year
round. AS they rove over wide ex-
panse Of territory it is not to be sup
posed that they become familiar with
any particular spots which they remem-
ber as good feeding ground
Under such conditions they must be
guided in their search either by the
sense of smell or by something in the
appearance of the snow above the moss
on which they feed Arctic travellers
have rather favored the opinion that
these animals relied upon the appear
ance of the snow.
AS showing the power of the sense of
smell in another order of creatures, Sir
John Ross relates that he shot hare
i'll autumn during a violent snowstorm,
which buried it out of sight and pre-
vented him from finding it. In the fol-
lowing spring two ravens, being the
first birds to migrate northward, We're
observed digging industriously in the
snow.
Recollecting the circumstance of hav-
ing lost some game thereabout in the
autumn before, he repaired to the spot
and arrived just in time to pick up his
hare, for which the ravens had exca-
waited through a depth of IL feet of firm
snow

The annual report of subordinate coun-

crease in membership in the state. The

than it has been for year past. All coun-
ellis are still adding to their membership.
The reports at the last meeting of the
executive committee in New York city
showed continuing and substantial gain
in every direction. Favorable reports are
received from all sections of the country
indicating for tho Chosen Friends at least
return of tho prosperity SO earnestly

The Electric Match.

The electric match is the next i'm
portant invention promised. Before very
long the phosphorus tipped wooden
splints now in use will be replaced by a
handy little tool that may be carried in
the pocket or hung up conveniently for
striking light when wanted Already
there is on the market a gas lighter
which affords more than a suggestion
of the electric match Of the future,
a twist of the handle generating suf-
ficient electricity to accomplish the
purpose; also there are several styles
of cigar lighters which depend for their
supply of electricity upon storage bat
teries. For some years past the gas jets
in theaters and public buildings have
been lighted by the electric spark. In
deed, most persons have seen the curl
GUS experiment Of lighting the gas with
the finger after a shuttle across the car
pet to generate the electricity needed
