THE SHIFTING OF
 PIG IRON CENTERS
Growth of Pig Iron Production In the United States
 by Districts

No better indication of the shifting of iron and steel manufacturing centers in recent years can be found than the sta- tricts of pig iron production by dis tricts, says the Iron Trade Review. We present a table, therefore, showing the production of pig iron by districts in 1890 and in 1900, with the proportion or the years total which each district pro- duced The year 1890 was selected for comparison with 1900 because a period of a full decade is thus presented, because 1890 was year of very large production, being exceeded by no previous year and by no subsequent year until 1895 so that all districts can be counted on to Have made the best showing they could, and because 1890 saw a pretty full develop ment of the Lake Superior region, the ore shipments exceeding 5000, 900 tons. Prior to 1880 the growth had been rapid and irregular, but in the decade 1S90-1900 the Lake Superior region has seen a growth, the steadiness of which was only dis turbed by the development of the Mesabi range.
 During the decade the increase in the total pig iron production in the country was 48.8 per cent. The variations in the relative production of different districts have in general been considerably more violent than would have been caused by the increase being confined to certain dis stationary. The following districts showed increases in the proportion they furnished to the total: Allegheny coun- ty, miscellaneous bituminous of Penn sylvania, Maryland, Virginia. Hanging Rock bituminous, Mahoning Valley, the lake counties of Ohio, Illinois and Col orado. Texas and Kentucky showed no change in the proportion, while the fol- lowing showed a decrease: Maine, Mas sachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey. Lehigh Valley, SchuyllSill Valley. Upper Susquehanna Valley Lower Sus- quehanna Valley, Juniata Valley, She mango Valley Pennsylvania charcoal, North Carolina and Georgia, Alabama, West Virginia, Tennessee, Hooking Val ley, miscellaneous bituminous of Olso, Hanging Rock charcoal, Indiana, Mich igan Missouri, Wisconsin and Oregon.

M RS. LESLIE
Suddenly Assumes Title and Sur
 prises Society.

N. Y. Special Chicago Times Herald.
 New York friends of Mrs. Frank Leslie say that she has legal claim to the title of Baronne de Bazus. Un- der that title, they say, she sailed for Europe February Is on the North Ger man Lloyd steamer Maria Theresia, bound for Gibraltar, Genoa and Ma ples. They say the first intimation they had that she had acquired a pat ent on nobility was when, shortly be- fore sailing, she had her visiting cards engraved to suit her new condition.
 Examination of the North German Lloyd passenger list shows that Baronne de Bazus did sail on that day. Before going abroad, too, Mrs. Leslie was entertained at dinner at the house of a friend. It was a farewell affair, and she there announced her new title and asked that she be designated by it in the future. She made no explana- tion of how she acquired the title, but the sixteen ladies at the dinner frown on the intimation that she purchased 1t. They say Mrs. Leslie came by it through descent, some newly discov- cred documents. long forgotten, estab- fishing her real identity. They point to the fact that Mrs. Leslie, who was born Miriam Florence, was of Huegne- not stock, her antecedents having fled from France to New Orleans, where she first saw the light

HEIGHT OF OCEAN WAVES.
The Greatest Altitude Is Off the South
 ern Coast of India.

From the London Mariner.
 A very interesting series of wave studies from the pen of Vaughan Cor nish is now appearing in the columns of our contemporary, Knowledge" in the January issue of which the size of waves Is dealt with. In .Ae course of this ar,-cle MT. Cornish says that 1t was in the Southern Indian ocean, between the Cape of Good Hope and the Isle of St. Paul and Amsterdam, in the region of almost continual west erly winds, that the largest waves were observed.
 On October 25, 1867, during a gale from the northwest, with violent snow squalls, thirty waves were measured at different times of day which aver aged 2953 feet in height The largest of them were 3753 feet in height. And of these no fewer than SIX were in suc- cession observed, which followed one another with admirable regularity They lifted the corvette as if it had been whaleboat, then left her wal lowing in a deep trough, extending far on either hand. Lieutenant Paris, who made these observations, had to mount to the twenty-second rung of the shrouds before he attained the level of the crests.
 On the evening of the same day waves even larger were seen, but not measured. Those on board the cor vette seem to have agreed that the waves of this October 25 were the largest within their experience. The

Started By Brick" Pomeroy Sold at
 Auction for $4100.

Denver Cor New York Sun.
 The famous Atlantic and Pacific tunnel, started In 1880 by Mark M. (Brick) Pomeroy, and which is now $500 feet long, piercing the main range of the Rockies near Georgetown, was sold today by special commissioner of the Chancery Court for $4100. This tunnel enterprise has a wonderful his tory. Pomeroy was publishing Pome- roy's Democrat at Lacrosse when he became interested in the tunnel. He organized a tunnel company and a railroad company and planned to make a fotrune out of the mineral veins cut by the tunnel and build railroad to the Pacific, the tunnel being built to have room for a double track line.
 He stopped the Democrat and start ed the Weekly Great West in Denver. Subscribers got tunnel shares and he sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth in addition, but the mineral veins did not pan out, and on his death the company became embarrassed. Litigation followed and ended in to- days sale. A company has been or ganized to complete the tunnel and lease it to railroads, the tunnel com pany reserving the mineral veins

 A new phase of Mime. Sarah Bern- hardt's many sided character has come to the surface during her New Orleans engagement, which closes next Saturday night. Mime. Bernhardt is an excellent shot-not a fancy target markswoman nor ringer of bells in shooting gal leries, but fond of genuine sport During her stay here she made arrangements to go hunting with Rapho, the most famous Creole duck hunter of the Louisiana marshes.
 Mime. Bernhardt planned so that no one might know in advance of her hunting expedition. A special train was in wait ing on the Louisville and Nashville tracks at o'clock Sunday morning. At 2;15 a carriage drove up, and Mime. Bernhardt stepped down. The conductor took the satchel from the maid, who returned to the carriage and drove of. The conduc-

 Dr. T. Chalmers Easton. formerly pas tor of the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick. and now pastor of the East ern Presbyterian Church of Washington, D. C., recently received a severe rebuff from Andrew Carnegie in his endeavors to obtain the aid of the millionaire in buying an organ for his church. Dr. Eas- ton wrote to MT. Carnegie as a brother Scotchman and asked assistance from the standpoint of brotherly love. When he finally obtained an interview with MT. Carnegie the latter said:
 q will not give cent of my money 10 any church that cannot meet It's business obligations. I conduct my charitable ef- fairs in business way.

Kissing Didn't Cure.

Camden (N. JD Spe New York Times.
 The Chancery Court chambers. in which Vice Chencellor Grey sat, was crowded today to hear the suit brought by Miss Kate McCulloch against Rev. pr. George Tomkins to recover money she claimed she had given to Tomkins to invest. The amount cleimed was s4000.
 MT. Tomkins is a minister of the Chris tian Science church. Miss McCulloch was one of his patients She says she gave him the money in order to assist him in healing her of a malady. She claimed that Tomkins told her to bow her head, and that then, he said, she needed some one to love and kiss her, and that Tom kins performed the osculations, but de- spite this she grew worse, and now had no faith in Tomkins or the kissing cure either.
 Tomkins, she said, got all her money, and did all the kissing, and she grew worse The Vice Chancellor will give his decision later
