times as much iron and steel as the United States. Since then Germany has challenged the supremacy of Great Britain and passed her in a decade of remarkable growth. And yet. in the current year of 1902, the United States of America will produce more iron than England and Germany combined. Indeed, there is margin of excess to spare about equal to the product of France If we add to this statement another fact, viz. that even this vast production is not sufficient for home requirements, and that the United States is to-day, in spite of stiff tariff the best customer in iron and steel that Europe has, credulity is taxed to the limit-Archer Brown, in the Engi- neering Magazine for October,

AcetyIene for Train Lighting.

This idea was first employed on the Prussian state railways. where it was found that the mixed gases gave far superior light to that of the oil gas alone. In France this system has been taken up by the a generating plant is being installed adjoining that already in use for the production of oil gas. The generator is of the Pintsch system, in which the carbide is dropped into a large volume of water. The apparatus consists of a eylindIic vessel of galvanized iron filled 10 about three quarters of it's height with water, the top being closed and carrying a cast iron chest containing the mechanism for feeding the carbide. The chest contains two compartments each holding about two kilogram of carbide. and arranged in such manner that either of them may be placed in communication with tho main cylinder without permitting the escape of gas. The acetylene gas. disengaged by the contact of the carbide with the water, Is led off through a lateral pipe con meeting with the mains. The oil gas and the acetylene are passed through respective meters, there being connected by chain gear, the sprocket wheels be- ing arranged So, that the mixture of the gases is made Tn the ratio of three of oil and one of acetylene.-H.

Cuba.s Year of Achievement.

Cast adrift to paddle her own canoe, Cuba has padded it with skill and de- termination. She has survived one flat denial of reciprocity, as we'll as a postponement of it. She has demon
 strated her capacity to maintain the fine sanitary and police systems in
 herited as the legacy of American oc- cupation. She has shown courage in the face of difficulties which is not al ways characteristic of Latin-American republics. She has developed her nat ural resources independently of our assistance and has forced her way into profitable markets without the aid of discriminating tariffs. She has thus learned that the first duty of a new nation is to help itself, and by this self-help she has secured the respect of those who at first were inclined to discredit her experiment in autonomy. Cuba is very far from being the bank rupt and distressed nation which it was supposed she would become. The island will undoubtedly enter this Union some day. but it is infinitely bet ter that she should come in yoluntari- ly as a prosperous and contented com monwealth than that we should com pei annexation as an alternative tC ruin and disorder.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Mrs. GEORGE WALLACE, Jr., of Elmira. N. r.. wife of George Wallace, broker, of West Water Street, and living at G67 Baldwin Street, says: In March. 1897, I was cured of kidney and bladder trouble by Deans Kidney Pills. My physician said at that time that my life could be saved only by an operation. Night after night 1 had been kept awake for hours at a time with ter rible pain in my back, and the secretions from the kidneys were in as bad a state as pos sible. 1 suffered with hemor- rhages frequently and was in weak state. Four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me, and l now gladly reendorse the remedy, because during the time which has since elapsed, nearly seven years, I have never had the slightest sign of a return of the trouble.

Growth of the American Iron Trade

The development of the iron indus try of the United States has been marked with surprises, From complete dependence upon the old world the country has leaped to a pre-eminenee so complete that even its rivals believe and tremble. In the great railroad building period of 1S70-72 England fur nished the rails and other materials at prices two to three times above those which are now deemed abnormally high.

That is the way we have to do in the

they don't go far enough. I have heard
