WILL END LIKE A LION.
Professor De Voc Predicts
Cold Waves During This
Month.

March will go out like a lion, if
Professor Andrew j. De Voc, the
Hackensack weather prophet, is
correct in his astronomical calcu-
lations, says the Sunday New
York Journal.
In general. Professor De Voc
asserts that in a forecast made
by him for a Western almanac
fifteen months ago, for the first
ten days of this March he tcalled
the exact turn"
He encloseS a clipping-a stray
leaf-with his prediction: "This
month will enter like a lion, with
great storm over the South At
lantic States, causing very cold
weather over the Northern States
and snow blockades in the New
England States"
The Hackensack prophet prom
ised a few mild days for the week
just past. For the balance of the
month he says, i'll general:
"There will be two more very
severe storms during the month
of March, 1900. The first one of
these storms will form over the
lower Mississippi Valley on the
18th and move rapidly eastward,
causing heavy rains in the South
ern States and snow in the North
ern States. This storm will reach
the Atlantic Coast by the 10Th,
and there is likely to he a biz
zard over the New England States
by st. Patrick's day.
"The Northern States will suf-
fer from severe cold wave until
the Goth of March. The great
equinOXial storm will arrive late
this year In general | will say
that | expect it to form over the
Missouri Valley on the 22nd and
drift slowly southeastward, reach
ing the Atlantic Coast States by
the oath in the form of a bowling
southeast gale with rain. The
rain will turn to snow on the
25th, with fierce nOrtherly gales
and very cold wave, continuing
cold to the close of the month";

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS.
The Catoctin Furnace Rapidly
Being Put in Shape by the
New Company-Hundreds
of Men Employed in Getting
Things Ready to Commence
Business.

Some weeks ago we published a
brief account of the improvements
being made at Catoctin Furnace
by the new owners, who intend in
short time to start up the works
on a large scale and give employ.
ment to a host of people in that
section.
Many years ago, when the fur
mace was in operation, prosperity
shown resplendent upon the hun
dreds who were its grateful ben.
eticiaries, and spread alike in
greater or less degree to the towns
around and to Frederick City,
the latter being twelve miles
away. Then the iron ore was
hauled here in wagons to be
shipped away over the b. & o
Railroad, bringing thousands Of
dollards to our merchants. Later
the Western Maryland Railroad
was built and shipping was done
direct, but the Sanguinary effects
of the presence of this big indus
try in our county were felt in
more ways than can be mentioned.
AT present the place presents a
scene of wonderful activity.
Scores Of wOrkmen with hammers,
picks and ShOvelS are transferring
the ancient place into one of
modern efficiency. The furnace
itself is being reconstructed upon
up-to date ideas, with grealy in
creased capacity and the worn out
building and machinery replaced
with everything new. Large
sheds are being built to store the
product, tracks are being rebuilt
to haul the ore from the mines
and the timber land is being
cleared to make the place present
clean and business like appear
ance.
One of the greatest innovations
undertaken and which promises
perfect success, lisa plan for drain
ing the mines of the millions of
cubic gallons of water, which in
the past, interfered with getting
out the ore, and accumulated so
rapidly that pumps had to be EN-
ployed at an enormous annual eX-
pense. Even this only reduced
the water to certain point, leav-
ing valuable deposits of vergin
ore at the bottom to remain until
this golden ere of modern science
and skill to be uncovered and
made use of. Gigantic steam
dredges and scopes are daily eat
ing out the earth on a level with
the water, which covers ten acres
of space and in some places is 70
feet in depth. This Will be grad,
ually drained off until the bottom
is reached, when the natural
slope of the land will be taken
advantage of to keep it down to
a minimum degree.
New ideas of iron making and
labor saving devices of mining
and hauling the ore will be used,
and there is no reason why, with
the increased domestic and for
eign demand for iron, and the
high prices prevailing, the old
industry revivified should not
have a remarkable future.
