Growth OF Our Iron Trade.

The development of tie iron industry
of the United States has been marked
with surprises. From complete de
pendence upon the old world the eaun-
try has leaped to a pre-eininence so
complete that even its rivals believe and
tremble.
In the great railroad building period
of 1902 England furnished the rails
and other materials at prices two or
three times above those which are now
deemed abnormally high. Then Eli
gland produced three times as much
iron and steel as the United States.
Since then Germany has challenged the
supremacy of Great Britain and passed
her in decade of remarkable growth.
And yet in the year 1902 the United
States of America produced more iron
than England and Germany combined.
Indeed, there is margin of excess
to spare about equal 10 the product Of
France.
If we add to this statement another
fact. says the Engineering Magazine.
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.

Saving the Time.

AS the messenger boy walked slowly
along the street, glancing up at the
plumbers on the houses. he was accost-
ed by gentleman who was sitting
upon n picket fence.
Telegram for John Banks, my lad?"
called out the gentleman.
"Damfino." said the boy, pulling out q
dirty cigarette paper and sack OF to-
bacco, "somepin' like that"
'Well, I guess that telegram belongs
to me-" said the gentleman, pulling the
bed quilt closer around his shoulders.
for the night was extremely cold. I've
been waiting ON this fence for 1t for
the last four hours. Bring it here,
Fleewings."
"Whatcha been waitin' on the fence
fer?" asked the boy. "Didn'tcha know
I could brung it to de door?"
Certainly, my lad" answered the
gentleman, "but that's not the ques-
tfon. That telegram is very important
and think of the time !Ou would have
consumed in walking from the gate to
the front door, Why. boy, that two
hours might have meant million dol
lar loss to me" indianapolis Sun.

Muddy. sIusby. Dusty London.

In spite of, or possibly because of.
Parliament. the London county council,
the metropolitan boroughs, and the
lighting and water companies. London
is possibly the most inconvenient and
most untidy city of Europe. The streets
are either muddy. slushy or dusty;
they are Uttered with straw, caDpage
leaves, newspaper posters and omni-
bus tickets; they are constantly being
grubbed up for some reason or other;
barrels of beer, Goals and other goods
are delivered across the footways at
all hours of the day; omnibues are
allowed to block the streets pretty
much as they please. and chimneys are
allowed to make the air filthy because
they cannot get Welsh coal"
So long as London is governed by, or
rather is dependent for Its due regula-
ton upon number of bodies all inde-
pendent Of each other, so long will
nuisances of various kinds continue.
We make no suggestion rs to who
should be the governing body, but that
there should be one is certain.-Lancet.

The Old Surf Bath.

1t is not so many years ago when
surf bathing of 4 very primitive kind
prevailed at the eastern end of Long
Island and, for aught l know at other
points. Every Saturday morning or
afternoon, as the tide willed, through
out the summer big farm wagons
trundled down to the beach and We're
swung around abreast of the line of
breakers. Old fish-houses served the
purposes of modern bathing pavilions,
and the sea costumes We're those of
last years village street. A long rope
was drawn from under the seats and
hitched TO the wheel. and then some
sturdy ex-whaler or life crew man in
red flannel shirt and old trousers tied
Mt the ankles slipped his waist through
the loop line at the end Of this prim
tive life line and, wading out, kept 1t
as taut as circumstances permitted,
while the women and children hung
to it, and reveled and wallowed and
shrieked, rejoicing in their Saturday
fy1h 3"

Artificial Compound Il Made to Take
oc

Artificial Compound Is Made to Take
the Place of Vanilla.
The chemist and the prevention OF
sale of adulterated and impure food
have put their rejected brand on an
other favorite beverage. Patrons of
the soda fountain who have been
taught to ask for lemon or vanilla fla
voring, for the alleged reason that
those syrups were less liable than 9TH
ers 10 adulteration, will be surprised at
the assertion that there is no extract
for which substitutes are more often
used than vanilla. This is said on the
authority of the Massachusetts, Board
from S12 to Sic per pound, and were
there no substitute it could not be used
SO freely and so extensively as at pres
ent. Vanillin, the active property OF
the extract, can be made from other
substances at cost of about 81 per
gallon. The artificial compound is
chemically identical with the vanillin
found IN the true vanilla extract and
therefore has come to be used eXten-
sively by manufacturers and dealers.
1t has been made for commercial pur-
poses from turpentine, but more salts
factory results are obtained from oil OF
cloves or benzoic acid. and it is now
extracted chiefly from these. 1t is con-
sidered harmless when taken in small
quantities and has been found to pos
sess certain medicinal properties. EN,
periments on frogs with large quanti-
ties have, however, caused spinal con-
vulsions. There is some comfort foi
confirmed soda water drinkers, and a
