The Iron p.llar Of Del.,.

The famous iron pillar of Delhi is
dealt with in Casters Magazine The
pillar is a solid shaft of wrought iron,
sixteen inches in diameter and of a
length that is variously reported. The
total length is from forty eight to sixty
feet under ground and above includ
ing a capital of three and one-half
feet. The pillar contains about eighty
cubic feet of metal and weighs abont
seventeen tons. The metal is, of
course, charcoal iron, made directly
from ore in small billets; but how it
was welded up no one can tell, as no
record exists of any early method OF
dealing with great masses of wrought
iron. An inscription roughly cut or
punched upon the column states that
liajah Dhara subducd a people in the
Surdhu, named Nahlikos. and obtained
with his own arm an undivided SOW
ereignty on the earth for long PEE
riod. The date of the inscription has
been referred to the third or fourth
century after Christ, but on this au.
thorities are at variance.

a young man who had been writing u
girl in Minneapolis for three years, in
tending some day to ask her to marry
