Iron Ouarries.

Very interesting facts, not generally
known, about the iron mines of Spain
were discussed at recent meeting OF
the iron and steel institute OF Great
Britain. 1t is from northern Spain, In
the neighborhood of Bilbao, that the
greater part of the iron ore imported
for the use of the British steel makers
is obtained. Steel is made by the basic
process from iron ore containing phos-
phorus; but for the best qualities OF
steel, which is made by the open hearth
process, purer ore must be used, and
it is that which England imports from
Spain. Mature seems to have designated
the hills of northern Spain especially
for the use of the steel makers" Until
recently practically no effort has been
made to manufacture steel in Spain,
and most of the ore has been exported
to England The iron mines OF north
ern Spain are described as being rather
ouarries than mines in the ordinary
sense of the word. 'The mountains
themselves are just heaps OF iron ore
covered naturally with but thin layer
of Garth. This is removed, and it only
to break up the ore and load it
into fitting receptacles, when it is con-
veyed down to the waters edge by its
own gravity."-Youth's Companion.

is a fortified line extending across the
island from Mariel on the northern
coast to Majana on the southern. The
purpose of the Spanish commanders. in
constructing and fortifying this line,
was to cut off the western province OF
Pinar del Rio from the rest of the island,
and thus to prevent the retreat Of the
forces of the Cuban lender Macco, who
is operating in that province. Mariel.
the northern terminus of the line, is
about 25 miles west of Havana; and at
two points, Guanajay, which is six miles
south of Mariel, and Artemisa, which is
four miles north of Majana, there is di-
rect railway connection with Havana.
West of the ''tracha" there is fairly
open country for few miles, but beyond
is the mountainous region in which
Maceo's forces have their camps

CHARACTER OF DISEASE.
1t II Indicated by the Expression of the
Face.

Facial expression can and does to
very considerable extent indicate the
character of disease from diag1lostic
and prognostic point of view. First of
all, pain is invariably clearly written
on the face. Contraction of the brow in
dicates pain in the head; sharpness and
contraction about the nostrils, pain in
the chest, and a drawing of the upper
lip, pain in the abdomen as a rule (es-
pecially in children). The upper third
of the face is modified in expression in
affections of the brain. the middle third
in diseases of the chest, and the lower
third in those of the abdominal organs.
Heart disease is indicated by blue lips,
bigh-colored mottled cheeks, palcness
about the nose and mouth and puf1iness
of the face generally. Kidney diseases
by puffiness of the lower eyelids and
pale face. Again we have the Pisus
Sardonic, q drawing of the muscles OF
the mouth as if the patient were laugh
.ng in sardonic way in tetanus or
lockjaw. an intense expression of
mingled fear and anxiety in hydro
phobia, and of deep anxiety in asphyxia~
Then there are the flushed face and
bright eyes of typhns and pneumonia;
the bright cheeks and pale face of con-
sumption and the dnll, heavy, stupid
expression in the faces of children suf-
fering from swollen tonsils or growths
at the back of the nose. The subject is
of enormous Importance, especially in
children. A well-known physician,
lately deceased, could. by long expert

why they told such things when there

BALLROOM BICYCLING.

The all-conquering bicycle has had
many triumphs, but its latest conquest
is it's greatest.
1t has invaded the ballroom and when
Lord and Lady Brassey gave their ball
of the season at government house, Mel
bourne, some weeks ago, q musical ride
on bicycles was an important item in
the programme. 1t was an adaptation
of the musical ride of the Household
brigade.
The ladies wore cycling costumes of
pale blouscs, with dark blue ties and
dark blue skirts. The dress ofthe men
was a return to knee hreeches and
stockings, and in color harmonized
with the dresses of the ladies.
Some days before the ball rehearsal
was held in large suburban drill
room with peculiarly appropriate en-
vironments, for ball had been held
the night before. The floor was SO
highly polished that French chalk had
to be used to minimize that dread of all
cyclists, side-sliding. Both the figures
and the commands Indicated a blend Of
the cavalry ride and the quadrille. AL
though one lady in particular same
down several times, she did it SO deftly
that there was barely an interruption
to the movement. Another lady in a
Holland costume, turning sharply too
near the wall, was unseated, but re-
mounted so quickly that only an ex-
pert cyclist could detect that the move
ment was not part of the rehearsal.
We have not yet heard how the real
ride went off, the mail not having
brought the account to hand.--London

This is probably what has given an en-

spun-glass dress lengths.
The Muscovite stuff is thrown into

but the spun-glass silk is simply
brushed with hard brush and soap

being either stained or soiled. The ma
