Piu Iron MAKING.

March shows a still farther increase-not
largo but still an increase. Although there
was one less charcoal furnace in operation
on April /, the weekly capacity had been in
creased 1.457 tons. March was a record
rnalsing month. Never before in single
month had so much pig iron been produced
in this country. To show the gain in one
year this table has been prepared by the

Based on these figures a statement of a
years business would stand thus:
4,5O0 tons, or SO immune. ...-........ S450,OVO
Cost of packages $4,000
Salaries and office expenses :. $4,000
Depreciation of plant -. 10000
80, 900
These are the figures combined
plant where pig iron Is allowed for its Stag
at the rate of $S25 for each ton Of carbolite
manufactured. 1t is estimated that by this
process the cost of pig iron will be reduced
one half. Based on the output of iron for
1893 being 100000 tons, it would mean
a saving of come $40 900 900. The use of car
bolite gas for heat and power purposes is
unlimited. 1t will revolutionize important
industries From 1t either can be made at
one-tenth its present cost. Alcohol may be
made from it in quantity.
In the manufacture of alcohol by the car
bolte process, carbolite gas is produced.
The most modern use of the latter is in the
extingushing Of fires on shipboard. 1t is
produced in such volume that If confined
in pipes and under pressure it could easily
be conveyed through buildings for fire ex-
tinguishing purposes. 1t could also be used
for refrigeration. It could do away with the
Ice box, and houses could be cooled in the
same manner in which they are heated with
steam

LONGEVITY INFLUENCED BY WATER.

Solid and dry as the human body ap-
pears, water constitutes more than
one-fourth of its bulk, and all the
functions of life are really carried on
in a water bath, and, although the
sense of thirst may be trusted to call
for draft of water when required, the
fluid can be imbided most advantage
ously for many reasons besides merely
satisfying thirst. In the latter stage
of digestion, when communion of the
mass is incomplete, it is much facili-
tated by a moderate draft of water,
which disintegrates and dissolves the
contents of the stomach, fitting it for
emulgence and preparing it for as
similation. Hence the habit of drink
ing water in moderate quantities be-
tween meals contributes to health and
indicates the fact that those who visit
health resorts for the purpose of i'm
biding the waters of mineral springs
might profit by staying at home and
drinking more water and less whisky.
Water is the universal solvent of
nature and the chief agent in all trans
formations of matter. When taken
into an empty stomach, it soon begins
to pass out through the tissues into the
circulation to liquify eftete solids,
whose excretion from the system is
thus facilitated. Very few people think
of the necessity of washing the inside
as we'll as the outside of the body, and
he who would be perfectly healthy
should be as careful about the cleanli,
ness of his stomach as that of his skin.

MARYLAND ITEMS.

The trial of Joseph B. Wallace,
charged with themurder of his brother

ANOTHER LYNCHING IN MARYLAND -
Maryland was disgraced by another
lynching, Wednesday, when young
colored man, Garfield King, who had
been arrested for the murder of a
white boy, Herman Kenney, was taken
from the Jail at Salisbury, strung up to
a tree, and brutally shot to death.
There is absolutely no excuse for this
horrible outrage, and it is exceeded IN
brutality and lawlessness only by the
first lynching, at Princess Anne, when
the victim of the mob's fury already
had been sentenced to death, and
would have been legally executed as
surely as the day of execution rolled
around. In the Salisbury case, the
victim had not been tried for his crime
but there was no reason to fear that
the law would not have visited full
punishment upon him.
The authorities of Maryland have a
duty to perform. They should arrest
the prosecutors of this outrage, and
make them answer to the law for their
horrid crime. The State cannot afford
to tamely submit to the disgrace
brought upon it by these awful acts Of
outlawry.

The Manila Expedition.

More half-baked criticism ON a mill
tary matter was never indulged in by
laymen than in the attacks on the delay
in starting the Manila expedition.
These citizens, none of whom have
apparently read page of military his
tory, appear to labor under the infan-
tile impression that when Congress
forced war on q President who knew,
as did Congress, that the country was
unprepared as to it's army, that all
that was necessary after it was heard
that Manila was taken was to tie
steamer to a wharf, march regiment
on in heavy marching order, cut the
lines and let the steamer go. This is
simple, but it is not war.
A military expedition 1000 miles from
our nearest port and 10000 miles from
our arsenals and army center is not
picnic, and even for picnic the eggs
have to be boiled. The military pro-
blem involved has been on a weeks
notice, because Congress only permit
ted notice of week to get together a
force as large, within $4,000 men, as
England sent to Egypt sixteen years
ago, one-half bigger than was sent to
Abyssinia, and twice as large as Eng
land has sent in a single expedition
to any point whatever since the Grim
can war. AS for France, it was con-
sidered a miracle of swift preparation
when two brigades were ready in
fortnight to go to Syria in 1860, and the
Madagascar expedition, much like this
was months in preparation by a coun-
try which has 598, ,293 men with the
colOrs the year around.
Remember, that not since the French
army was in Egypt a century ago has
any European country had to meet at
a distance of even 1900 miles from its
base a civilized army as large as the
Spanish in the Philippines in an Ori-
entail or Eastern country, and the
Philippines are 1000 miles off and not
like Egypt, 5000 from England. The
Crimea was not quite 2OOO from the
nearest nglO-French military base and
about 200 from the Turkish and allied
base at Varna, and France and Eng
land were eleven months getting ready
to send only three OR four times our
proposed expedition. Being against a
civilized foe and taking the mileage, it
is the biggest job of its order since the
Crimea and the biggest in the East or
tropics since history began.
These are facts and those who are
talking would be wise to talk less and
learn more. The job found us four
weeks ago with an army disgracefully
small because Congress and some of
the very critics now talking had OBJ
iected to a bigger -Philadelphia
