 Here again we fins the United States easily the leader, producing mere than 40 per cent of the total. and considerably more than the aggregate of it's two chief rivals. Germany, however, is far ahead of Great Britain in the outrut of steel This has been the case for several years and emphasizes the fact that Great Brit ain more than any other country has adhered to the use of puddled, or wrought, iron. Germany, on the contra ry, makes steel it's chief product, while the pudding furnace has long ceased to be an important factor in its trade.
 It will be noticed that the increase in steel was approximately much greater than that in pig iron. This is in large part due to the increasing use of steel in the United States for all constructive purposes; and to the substitution both here and abroad, of cast steel for east iron in the construction of locomotive and machinery of all kinds.
 While production in the United States reached last year far higher level than was ever known before, there was also an improvement in the European trade, although the latter has not completely recovered from it's depression. The worlds production of iron and steel mas practically doubled during the last fif- teen years. It is hardly to be expected that growth will continue in quite thel same ratio and we may expect to see a much lower rate of expansion during the coming decade.

DAY IS DYING.

By George Eliot.
 Day is dying, Float. O song,
 Down the westward river, Requiem Chanting to the Day Day, the mighty Giver. Pierced by shafts of Time, he bleeds, Melted rubies sending Through the river and the sky, Earth and heaven blending; All the long-drawn earthly banks Up to cloud-land lifting; Slow between them drifts the swan, 'Twixt two heavens drifting. Wings half open. like flower Inly deeper flushing. Neck and breast as virgins pure Virgin proudly blushing. Day is dying! Float, o swan.
 Down the ruby river; Follow, song, in requiem
 To the mighty Giver.

WORLDS PRODUCTION
 OF PIG IRON AND STEEL

From the Engineering and Mining Jour
 nal.
 The statistics. which have ben collect ed and published in relation to the iron trade in 1902, enable us at the present time to give very full statement of the pig iron and steel production of the world tries the figures are official. and in only very few instances has it been necessary to estimate the output. The statistics for the more important countries have already been published in our columns.
 The pig iron production of the world for 1901 and 1902 is shown In the follow ing table; the figures being given in me- tric tons for the purposes Of reader com parison:

them to import considerable quantities of raw iron from Europe.
 Germany last year also showed a de- cided improvement over 1901. and its pro- duction approached very closely to that of Great Britain. As in the case of the United Kingdom, the German trade was largely benefited by an increased export demand, the improvement in home trade being very moderate only.
 The following table shows the steel pro- duction of the world. which is also given in metric tons. as the most generally adopted measure.

The American Helrarchy.

"I have seen several reports In the newspapers about an alleged movement on the part of bishops and priests to have the Catholic church in the United States transferred from the supervision of the congregation at Rome known as the propaganda fides to the direct su- pervison of the holy see, but there is little or no foundation for such rumors,
 said a Catholic yesterday Bishop Kelly of Savannah said in a recent interview that he had heard of no such movement and he remarked that there were many reasons why continuance of the pres ent arrangement was highly desirable. By the way, it seems strange to me that newspaper correspondents in Rome should display ignorance in ordinary word meaning when writing about church af- fairs. It was only yesterday that l read a dispatch from Rome in which occurred the phrase, 'Ecumenical council of all the archbishops of America Now had supposed that every school boy knew the meaning of ecumenical. What the cor respondent had ip. mind was a confer ence. not a council, of archbishops. An ecumenical council includes all the car dinals, all the patriarchs, all the metro politans or archbishops, all the bishops, all the mitred abbots, and all the gen. erals of orders; at least all those digni- taries of the Holy Roman church. In other words an eeumenical council Is general council. There are more than 1900 prelates of the Roman obedience. The archbishops of the United States, including Cardinal Gibbons, number only fourteen. This number, however, does not include the archbishops of Manila" :"
