In the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
Iron and Steel Number the man
ufacture of steel rails naturally
receives the first consideration,
both because the total output
greatly exceeds that of any other
branch of the steel industry, and
because the steel rail has un-
doubtedly had more to do with
the rapid development of this
country than any other single
product of the steel industry.
The largest rail making works
in the Uuited States, which
stretch for over a mile along the
banks of the Monongahela River,
at point not far from the city
of Pittsburg, require the services
OF some 1000 men, who are con-
tlnually at work on the manufaC-
ture of steel rails. These are
turned out at rate of over 1000
rails, or nearly 5000 tons, per
day. OF the furnace output,
about 10000 tons are cast into
pig, and 10000 tons are convert
ed into steel and rolled into rails
every month. In a single month
the rail mills haze turned out as
high as 100000 rails, which vari-
ed in weight from Is to 100
pounds per yard and in length
from 80 to 90 feet.

one so we'll posted as Mr. Witham
evidently is that the predicted
money market strengency is not
likely to develop.
Mr.. w. S. Witha1n, whorepre-
scnts thirty-six different fnanci-
al institutions in this state, has
just returned from New York,
where he has been for the past
ten days investigating the financi-
al situation. He reports that
the outlook promises plentiful
and cheap money after the first
of March, and will continue so
through the summer.
Speaking on this subject, he
said:
From the first Of September
last up to ten days ago strong
symptoms of a financial panic
existed. Had the same condi-
tons prevailed during the sum-
mer months, nothing could have
averted a widespread financial
embarrassment. Money panics,
like watermelons, only ripen in
the summer. The cotton crop
of the south was exported in
large quantities and at high
prices during September and
October, and this produced an
influx of gold from Europe and
thus created an exchange which
gave financial relief to all lines of
business.
"Everywhere l went the topic
was the enrichment of the south
by its high price cotton this
season.
The north expects the south
will receive 500, 100000 for it's
cotton and the products from it's
seed. The credit Of the south
was never so good in New York
and Boston as it is now.
Many of the large banks in the
east have sent their representa-
tives througe the cotton growing
states to solicit the accounts of
southern institutions.
While in New York and Phil
adelphia visited the selling a.
gents of all kinds Of cotton goods,
and | was informed Immediately
after the government report came
out that all of these goods were
advanced in price and would con-
tlnue to rise until the price was
sufficient to enable the spinner
to manufacture the cost of twelve
cents for the raw material.
NEW INNOVATIONS.
The special object of my trip
to New York was to perfect a
plan whereby all depositors in
the Witham banks would be in
sured. This is known as the
depositors' guarantee fund.- and
has been accepted by a financial
institution in New York which
has capital of $1,000, 100000. In
addition to the security now
furnished depositors in banks
throughout this state, we desire
to add this insurance feature.
have worked on the plan for the
past SIX months and have sub
mltted it to number of promi-
nent bankers, all of whom hearth
ly indorse the idea"
The American bank Investigate
ed the subject through it's attor-
ney and business manager, and
published very complimentary
article on the subject, entitled
Looking Ahead in Banking
When it was generally be1iev-
ed that the government report
would show a short cropof cotton,
Mr.. Witham issued instructions
for the cashiers in his chain of
banks to carry from five to twen-
ty bales Of cotton for each Of the
farmer customers Of his banks.

+. Ii. Thomas can tell you many
well known people whom Mi-o-na has
restored to health, and given an in
crease in flesh, after trying other
methods of treatment with no benefit.
In 9S out of every 100 eases where
Mi-o-na is used, the result is resto-
ration of perfect harmony between
weight and an absolute and perIna-
net cure of all stomach troubles.
r. III. Thomas believes in Mi-o-na
and stands ready to refund the price

fcring.
Remember that you risk nothing in

remedy himself.
