CONDITION OF THE IRON TRADE.
Many Believe the Crest of the Prosperous
Wave Has Passed.

Wave Has Passed.
New York, Oct. lin spite of ex
tremely favorable surface conditions,
there are many in the iron trade who
express the conviction that the crest
Of the wave has passed and that the
tendency in the opposite direction
will develop" says the Iron Age.
Conditions are unusual in many re-
spects, but the one fact which dispels
any danger of sudden collapse is
that raw materials and notably fuels
are scarce. without much hope of i'm
provement until well into next spring. -
The Iron Age also says:
Ihe announcement that the Frick
Go. has named 50 at ovens for Con
nellsyille furnace coke for next year
is highly interesting, being in line
with the Steel Corporation policy,
From authoritative sources it is
learned that the negotiations between
the Steel Corporation and the valley
furnaces for 2o0, GOO to 300, 600 tons Of
Bessemer pig for delivery after April
lst, 1903, have been discontinued. In
the meantime Bessemer pig continues
exceedingly scarce, and is commanding
high prices for early delivery. There
are some indications that importations
may be resorted to. In foundry iron
the event of the week has been the
meeting of the leading Southern in
terests, at which the sum of 500 was
determined upon as basis price for the
second half Of 1908. 1t appears that
the trade is not taking this decision
very seriously. There is scarcity Of
forged iron in the Central West, and
quite a large inutliry ia nnw in the
market. From Germany comes the re-
port that there is a good deal of trouble
over renewing the pig iron syndicate,
owing 10 the usual Disagreement over
percentages. II this powerful syndicate
should fail, the low prices resulting in
the home market might affect the capa-
city to make. low export prices of steel
and put an end to syndicate export
bounties.
. In the steel trade we note renewal
of negotiations for the importation Of
steel biliets, which can now be laid
down at Atlantic ports at shade
under s27. so. In the finished lines
the most interesting fact is that one
railroad company has contracted for
an aggregate OF 3l,0O0 tons of bridge
material. The deliveries are to be
made during the next six months.
While the demand continues exceed.
ingly strong in this branch, the build
ing trade is showing a disposition to
slacken. Importations of structural
material continue. 1t is expected that
the announcement of revised prices on
tin plate will be made early next week,
The amount of the reduction is closely
guarded. y

READY REP4RrEE.

Retorts Courteous Made by Some of TIN
Men of Note.
Baltimore sun.
AS a specimen of ready wit it would
| be difficult to beat the retort Charles
Burleigh, the great opponent of the
slave trade. He was in the middle OF
one of his eloquent denunciations OF
slavery when a we'll and rotten
egg struck him full in the face.
This" he said. calmly, as he pro-
duoed his handkerchief and wiped his
face, is striking evidence of what
have always maintained, that pro-
slavery arguments are unsound.''
The late John Bright was frequently
happy in repartee. Once, in the course
-of speech which was punotI@ted by
Interruptions, he was saying NJ Per-
sonally l do not feel disposed to wage
war against these Philistines, I" when
an unruly member of his audience
shouted, "Hee -hawI'' 'If, however, %
Mr.. Bright continued without pause,
my friend at the back of the hall will
lend me one of his jaws shall be
encouraged to reconsider my attitude,
in view of the historic success of Sam
son when provided with a similar'
weapon. y
A good example of the witty answer
that turns away wrath was furnished
by the Able de Voisenon, who had
been unfortunate enough to offend the
great Conde and to lose his favor. When
the abbe went to court to make his
peace with the offended prince the
latter rudely turned his back on him.
''Thank heaven, sir, the abbe ex-
claimed, 81 have been misinformed;
your Highness does not treat me as il
were an enemy"
"Why do you say that?" the prince
demanded.
Because, sir, +" answered the abbe,
tyour Highness never turns your back
on an enemy"
The great Duke of Wellington an
swered similar insult with equal, il
more crushing, cleverness. When the
French king introduced one of his field
marshals to Wellington, the field mar
shall turned his buck on his former
enemy and conqueror. Louis Philippe
was naturally indignant, and apologized
to the duke for such rude behavior.
Pray forgive him, sire, the Iron
Duke. said, quietly; Il am afraid it
WAS who taught him to do that in the

not very popular People have the
idea that it is injurious. But, for
my part, | believe that it is the purest
and least harmful Of all pipe tobaccos.
1t must, however, be, used with some
moderation or it will play hob with
the nerves. Did you know that the
worlds supply of perique was all grown
in one place--at ST James, La. !? The
annual crop is 100, 900 pounds. The
leaves have the stems taken out of
them, and then are subjected to a
tremendous pressure between slabs of
wood for three months. So great is
this pressure that the juices of the
tobacco actually exude through the
slabs, during the three months
fermentation goes on. Afterward the
inky, moist stuff is wrapped in cloths
and tied with ropes, and in this state
it remains for year. Then it is
boxed and put on the market-a to-
bacco delicately favored, very strong
and very pure. 1t must be used in mod.
esation, though. F=Philadelphia Record.

Tho life insects is beset with many
perIls, and the chances that they will
live to "a green old age'' are exceed
ingly remote. Honey bees and insects
and bugs of less degree find pitfalls
and often death in the beautiful
blossoms of the milkweed, otherwise
known as the Virginia swallowwort.
If these flowers are examined any sunny
day one will be pretty sure to find
them decorated with a miscellaneous
assortment of struggling or dead in
scots with their legs fast in the slits of
the peculiar blossoms. The pollen Of
this common plant, instead of being
powder, as in the case of most plants,
consists of sticky, waxen masses hidden
within the blossom. When visiting
insects thrusts proboscis or leg into
the opening of such flower some Of
these masses stick to it, and the natural
course is for the insect to fly off ton
another flower and fertiIize this witfc'
the adhering pollen. i
All insects, however, are not strons @
enough to extract their legs from IN
sticky places, and then ensues the slW
torture of hanging there until death q

possibilities. It is asserted that this
discovery Is superior to the embalm-
ing preparation used by the Egyptians
for. while the infusion will preserve
the subject for all time. humanity
speaking. as did that OF the ancients,
II prevents the shriveling up that was
inseparable from the Egyptian en-
balming. and it does not call for the
swaths and bandages in which all
Egyptian mummles were encased The
principal experiment up to this time
has been upon the body of dog, which
was treated thirty days ago. Today II
looks as natural as in life. II is rigid.
but in perfectly natural pose. There
is no trace Of odor about II, nor is there
any other visible symptom OF decay.
Tests Of the fluid have been made by
the demonstration OF anatomy at the
Memphis college. and he lis SO well
