Iron Theories and Predictions.

Undoubtedly" says the New York Human nature is not altogether equal to coping with the temptation presented of a prodigious demand, whether real or ficti- tious, and rising price, nor will words of caution alone arrest a tendency to imitation of prices not warranted in view of the enormous resources, natural and artificial, that will be developed to meet the real needs of this country and of foreign GUS toners for iron and steel. But at bottom there is substantial demand for iron, and the manufacturers of iron and steel as likely to give heed to the danger of reac- tion as they to yield to the temptation to force prices to point where they must break with widespread disaster, not only to the iron trade but to the industries that are so intimately related to and dependent upon the prosperity of that trade.
 Writers everywhere, in all countries, are iron and steel. Nearly all have words of warning for all concerned, but very few seem to take into consideration the fact that development had been stayed fully five years while population had steadily risen in the customary volume. The five years of paralysis must be made good, and the enterprise that we now see arising on every hand is but the beginning of railroad
  building and ship building and bridge build ing and the building of new buildings of all other sorts that must go on at least average for the decade. Those therefore who undertake to say that production will speedily overtake at the furnaces and mills consumption may find themselves mistaken by at least five years time.
 The AgeJHerald does not undertake to say that prices will remain up in the clouds five years, but it does believe there will be a demand at remunerative prices for all the steel and iron that all he furnaces now constructed can turn out in the next five years. Nothing short of a great many new stacks can make a dull market, and much time is needed when great furnace plant is to be built and put in blast and furnished with raw material. period of five years is perhaps none too much in or der to build and start in full operation very material addition to the countrys facilities for iron making. Be this how ever as it may, there is no immediate dan ger of an accumulation of iron; for if this country does not want all that can be made tries will continue to want American iron. German and English irons have about reached their limits. America is to fill the orders for additional amounts.

TO THE MOON
Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

By Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Weary already, weary miles tonight I walked for bed; and so, to get some ease, I dogged the flying moon with similes. And like a wisp she doubled on my sight In ponds; and caught in tree tops like a
 kite;
 And in globe of film all vaporish 5wam full-faced like a silly silver fish Last like a bubble shot the welkin's height Where my road turned, and got behind me,
 and sent
 My wizened shadow cranbng round at me, And jeered: "So step the measure-one,
 two, three!" And If I faced on her, looked innocent But just at parting, halfway down a dell She kissed me for goodnight. So you'll
