OUR VISITORS.

The fire-chiefs will appropriately have a warm welcome in New Haven. and it will take even more rain than we have had lately to put out the fire of enthusiasm which their advent has lighted. We hope the showers on the coast will let up this week so that our visitors can get about comfortably and see how fine a city New Haven Is and how interested in them and their do- ings its people are. It Is good thing for New Haven to be visited by such a large body of representative men, and we hope that they will find it an equal ly good thing to visit New Haven. The programme of exercises is an interest ing one, and the chiefs and the com 'munities from which they come will profit by the comparison of experience and interchange of ideas which will be made And the New Haven firemen will be wide-awake to learn all they can that is new and helpful.

I LUSTY INFANT.

The recent shipment of a car load of American tin plate to Italy has called attention again to the remarkable growth of an infant industry which many thought or hoped was still-born. Protectionists have always contended that tin plate manufacture in this coun- try would not be regarded as an es- tablished American industry until the entire product was manufactured from American black plate. How rapidly the foreign black plate is disappearing from the American mills under the pol icy inaugurated by the act of 1890 is re- vealed by a glance at the facts. In 1893 the total production of tin plate in this country was 99,819,202 pounds, of which 56,219,47S pounds were made from foreign black plate and 43,599, 724 pounds from American black plate. In 1894 our mills made 139, ,223, ACT pounds, of which St, ,96S, ,202 pounds were made from Amer ican plate. In 1895 the number Of pounds made from American black plate jumped to eO,57e,934, while the foreign black plate fell to 33,224, 139 pounds. It is now claimed that prac- tically the entire output of the Ameri- can mills for the year ending June 30, 1896, amounting to 307,Oo0,0o0 pounds, was made from American black plate.
 No wonder the English are pained by the situation and the outlook. And the free traders of this country are also pained by condition which does not accord with their theory.

WH EA r.

Wheat continues to rise in price and speculation in 1t is running wild. It is hard to tell just what the exact situa- ton is, but there is no doubt that this country can sell all it has to sell at a good price. In a careful review of the field the London Economist makes out is better off than the continent. Wheat is the poorest of the English crops, but is still passably good. The potato crop is poor, but hay, corn, roots and tubers promise fairly we'll The wheat crop of France is 40,000,00O bushels less than that of last year The important rye crop is poor, and potatoes and forage are disappearing. The Italian wheat crop is short 32, ,OOO, 900 bushels, and that of Hungary shows about the same de- ficiency. In Russia there is consider able shrinking in both wheat and rye, but accurate estimates are not attain able Roumania, Bulgaria and Euro pean Turkey have suffered from floods and other causes to such an extent that their grain crops will probably be at least thirty per cent. less than in 1896. In Germany there is little shortage, while Holland, Denmark, Belgium and Sweden have average crops, and Spain has a good one. On the whole, the Economist concludes that the entire crop of European wheat will be 0,0O0,- 900 bushels less than in 1896, and that, therefore, England and the continent must draw most of their supplies from the United States, for neither Australia nor India will have any surplus. It will not be known what Argentina will produce until it is ascertained whether the locust eggs that fill the fields will hatch out and cause the same destruc- tion that occurred there last year.
 Of course the speculation in wheat will be eyerdone and prices will be put

 For several seasons women have in- sisted on wearing russet shoes all through the winter This year a differ ence will be made, and the tan and rus set shoes of summer will be set aside not for black, but for the rich mahog- any red that has so long been popular in walking gloves. The woman who is just right will have her belt, shoes and gloves of the mahogany red this fall and winter, and the effect will be dis tinctly good. Shoes are made for walking now in generous size and per- feet fit, and the slender and arched foot is at last being supplied with a shoe made with snug arch underneath and a square heel. Time was when the square heel implied flat shoe, but the pretty American foot has at last mod flied the hideous English walking last to suit it's own needs.

In regard to riveting with compress ed air, the master mechanic of the San- ta Fe road is quoted as saying that by the use in the Santa Fe shops of a sta- tionary riveting machine three men are enabled to drive 2,0O0 rivets per day of ten hours at cost of $4.75, as compar- ed with 200 rivets per day at cost of $7 by hand labor; the truck riyeters- the machine being operated by two la- borers at a total cost of $3 per day. drive 5000 rivets, as compared with 175 rivets driven by hand labor by three men in a day at cost of $6, while the staybolt breaker makes an average saving of sS a day and the tank riveter an average daily saving of $10. Fur ther, the mud-ring riveters will drive as many rivets as can be handed to them and will make a saving of SIP to $15 a day for that class of work. Not only is this method credited with the great saving named, but is declared to insure every rivet hole being filled en- tirely and insures tight work, while of hand-driven rivets in mud rings large percentage invariably leak

The Pathology of chilblains.

An eminent medical man is authority
for the statement that chilblains are Of
ten caused by the condition Of the
blood, and that they are curable by
proper treatment. He says that the
blood is deficient in those qualities that
cause coagulation. Children are much
more subject to chilblains than grown
persons from this cause. 1t is also said
that similar condition exists in people
who are subject to serious nosebleed.
Those who are subject to malaria are
found to have blood in a similar condi-
tion. In fact, it is stated that it is pos
sible, even on the western coast of At
RIGA, for patients, after severe attacks
! of malarial fever, to suffer from chill
blains. AS to the treatment, it is neces.
sary to increase the coagulability Of the
blood, and among other remedies recon-.
mended are calcium chloride and care
full abstaining from acids, alcohol or ex
cessive quantities Of fluid Of any sort
Increasing the coagulability Of the blood
wrought a complete cure in all cases.
