FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.
Announcement of Great Interest il
 Scientific Circles of New York.

New York, April 6.-An announcement of great interest to the scientific circles of the metropolis was made today by the council of the Scientific Alliance of New York. For the past ten years the Alliance has been considering the erection of a building which should give the facilities for the advancement of original research which its members have long needed; but owing to unpropitious times no substan- tial progress has hitherto been made.
 Thes plan now contemplates the erec- tion of a temple of science costing half million dollars. The project Is commend ed to the public over the signatures of distinguished committee of cooperation consisting of Andrew H. Green, chair man., Andrew Carnegie, ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt. Samuel Sloan, w. F. Dodge Edward D. Adams, John s. Kennedy. Frederick W. Devoe, J. Hampden Robb D. Willis James and Col. John J. McCook
 The scientific alliance is composed of the New York Academy of Sciences, the Tor ry Botanical Club, the New York Micro scopial Society. the Linnaean Society of New York. the New York Meteorological Club, the New York section of the Amer ican Chemical Society. and the New Yofl Etomology Society. The building is to b, to them what Burlington House in Lon don is to the Royal, the Geodetical, the Chemical. the afltiuarian, the astronomical of Pelles Letteras Sciences, Beaux Art homes therein. or what the Palaz de L'In- stitute in Paris Is to the four academies of Pelles Letteras Sciences, Beaux Art. and Sciences Morales ct Politiques.

MARKET FOR IRON
 IS STILL ACTIVE

New York, April 1.-The market for pig iron continues firm and active. Sales the past week have perhaps been the largest for any like period since the buying move ment began about February l. No objec- tion Is made by buyers to paying a moderate advance and no disposition Is shown by furnace interests to unduly force prices upward.
 The interest of the past week however, has centered not so much In iron as in iron securities. The change of sentiment in two brief months Is little short of marvellous. In the conditions surrounding the trade there has been no change to account for the difference between pes- simism as to iron and steel securities February 1. and the optimism approach ing enthusiasm April l. The companies were making practically as large earn ings then as they are now, and the out look was bright. The transformation, of course, Is wholly due to the successful working out of the great combine which is expected to eliminateScompetition, con- trol prices, and introduce stability where heretofore there has been uncertainty. That the expected result will follow, Is generally accepted in the trade. The many important interests outside the United States Steel Company, instead of showing antagonism, will find it to their profit to heartily support the policy of the company, so long as it is conserva- tive, and calculated to improve the con- dition of the industry as a whole.
 The United States Steel Company has recently acquired further Bessemer ore properties in the Lake Superior district and Is actively negotiating for the few remaining interests outside. There is no longer any doubt, therefore, of it's pur- pose to become supreme dictator in the steel trade through control of the raw materials. What will be its policy with reference to the millions of tons of ore which its mines are now producing in excess of the demands of its own furnaces is the problem that keeps even the best informed guessing. Most likely the giant does not yet know it's own mind. If the ores are kept in the ground in reserve, important lease holds will in time expire and large invested capital be jeopardized. If the big ore carrying roads have their traffic heavily reduced by restrictive policy higher rates must necessarily be exacted. The most likely outcome Is that the monopoly will sell freely to it's rivals, but make them pay tribute to Caesar.

Difference Withdrawn.

New York. April 9.-The World tomor- row will say:

One of the seIf.Made.

From the Manchester (N. H.) Union.
 Once upon Time there was Boy on the Farm. He could not help it. as he was Born That Way, but he Keenly Felt his Position. He was a large, healthy boy. with good Knee action, and Perfect Faith in the Stories told him by the Hired Man. In the Winter he went to the District School where he learned number of Things and some Arithmetic. In the sum mer his Father, whom he thought a Hard Man, gave him Tasks to Per. form, which made him Perspire rreeiy.
 When he was IS years old and could Lick the Hired Man, he made up his Mind that the Farm was no place for him, and so did his Father; so one fine morning him Mother gave him a box of Liver Pills, his Father gave him Ten Dollars, and he Started for the City to make his Way in the World. When he reached the city his appear ance attracted so much Attention that everybody smiled on Him and asked him When he Came Down. AS he always gave the Exact Date, he got such a reputation for being truthful lad that kind man gave him a Job in drygoods Store as porver. By diligent labor he soon came to be the Manager of the Store, and wore a Diamond in his Shirt front with all the Grace of Faro Dealer. He never Paid his Father the Ten Dollars which he had let him have. but Every Sum mer he used to visit the Farm with his family, and tell the Neighbor's Boy how he Wished he had Stayed at home and lived Free, Happy Country Life.
 When his Parents died and left the Farm to his Sister, he Broke the Will because he was so fond of the Dear Old Place, and his Sister had to go Somewhere Else, after which he sold the Farm for Good Money, while his Sister Remained Somewhere Else. He died quite rich, but nobody ever Liked Him very much, because he was a Self-Made Man and liked to Talk about it.
 The two Pictures show him when he was a Boy on the Farm and when he was a SelfMade Man. There is not Much Choice Between Them, do you think there is? =
