Thomas A. Edison announces that
his new system Of recovering by cleo
trical means the iron contained in low
grade ore is now a practical success.
His works near Dover, N. j., ore now
producing daily 1000 to 1900 tons OF
almost chemically pure iron. The
ore contains only about twenty-five
per cent. of iron and it would not pay
Tor handling by the ordinary methods.
His process, in brief, consists of blast
Ing the ore from the mountain sides,
and then, by means of steam shovels
and miniature railway cars, conveying
IL to massive crushers, where it is
broken up and passed on to other
mills, to be pulverized. The powder
Is then allowed to pass in close pro1-
Unity to electromagnetic, which de.
feet the iron to one side, and non
metallic matter falls to the other side
by gravity. From the time the ore is
blasted till it is resolved into this me-
tallic form and compressed into bri-
quettes for shipment, the process is
entirely automatic.

There should be no crowding Of people

Says the San Francisco Call: In
Mexico the laws delays are less vexa-
,tious than in the United States. In
deed, one hears nothing at all about
delay in the administration Of Mexican
justice. A short time ago apaymaster
went down into Sonora with between
$4,000 and $4,000. He stopped over
night at ranch, where he was robbed
and murdered. The robbers were
caught by the local police, but the
magistrate discharged them. Then
tho Government took q hand in the
affair. The robbers were caught
again and shot Immediately. The
magistrate who had acquitted them
was also shot. Tho Waterman at
whose house the robbery occurred
was shot. Some distant accessories
after the fact wero shot. In all sixteen
men were shot.

The persistency with which men de-
clare that they have seen sea serpent
Is equaled only by the persistency
with which they ore disbelieved by
men who have never seen one, observes
The New York Times. Now the ques-
tion is this, how are we ever going to
know whether there is sea serpent
or not? The people who have never
seen one oil declare that there is no
such thing, and those who say they
have seen one are promptly called un-
mitigated fabricators. And there the
case seems likely to rest through all
time.

AN oLD-TIAIE CUSTOM.


The barge Century, of the George w.
Bush and Sons Company's Line, is now
on the Pusey and Jones Company's ma
rine railway, undergoing a thorough
overhauling. In making some repairs
at the stern posts the workmen cut into
mOrtiee Of the keel and brought out a
coin having stamped thereon j. Kirk,
the Wayfarer is told. 1t had doubtless
been placed there by the builder years
ago, when the post was placed in posi-
tion and has remained there ever since,
some twenty-five years. The Century, ii
appears. was built on the Brandywine
near the present site of the Pullman
works, by John Kirk, then one Of the
leading shiDbuilders of Wilmington
The recovery of this coin recalls that
fact, and also that the name Century
was given to the barge to commemorate
the Tooth year of Bush's business eX-
istence The barge Minquas, Of the
Charles Warner Company's Line, is q
sister to the Century, being built by
Kirk during the same year.
This custom Of placing coins undel
the heel of the stern post is one thai

SLAVES LUCKY FIND.

T. B. Scott, of this city, related the
following interesting story to the Way
farer to-day.
Many years ago it was the custom in
the shipyards of Baltimore for the
slaves of Maryland planters TO work at
trades. They were fairly good work
men and brought in quite a revenue
to their master the year round. It so
happened that one Of these slave ship
carpenters was set to work one day un-
der the stern quarter Of an old Span
ish brig at the yard for repairs. The
foreman marked off some craven piece
cuttings for the man TO cut out and I'll
in again and then went ashore, leav
ing the man alone under the quarter
At the first few blows with his mane
the slave heard a jingling sound. A
the next blow the sound was repeated
and, cutting through cautiously, he dis
covered to his amazement that tn
entire room between the frames an'
from the salt stop up to the plank
sheer as filed with shining Spanisl
doubloons. The glittering pile OF gol'
had been placed there from the inside
