THAT was about the number used

about rubber shoes and automobiles
is raised in the face OF a constantly in
creasing sale of horseshoes. As a mat
ter OF fact, the use Of rubber horse
shoes. which is confined almost alto

manufacturers. The sale OF the old
fashioned shoe goes on increasing and
in addition to that the manufacturers
have an opportunity to make the steel

BRITISH DIVORCES
ROUSING ATTENTION

Great Britain continues to be agi-
tated over the steady growth OF the
divorce evil, though, of course, the
statistics for the United Kingdom look
petty as compared with those OF the
United States, where about 6O,OOO peo-
pie. annually go forth freed from the
bonds of wedlock, to be living wit
nesses of the instability Of the mar
riage VOW under modern conditions.
In England the number Of divorce de-
crees granted is still comparatively
small.
At the beginning of the present year
there were UP for hearing in London,
where such cases must be tried, BAT
applications for divorce. The total
number during this year may be twice
as large-a figure that viii startle the
English moralists who are already con-
cerned with the fact that while the
population has increased 81 per cent
since 1857, when the divorce act was
passed, the number Of petitions for an
nulment of marriage has increased
more than threefold.
Furthermore the number of separa-
tion orders issued in accordance with
the act of 1895 has enormously in
creased, amounting to more than 1000
in a single year. Perhaps this is the
most alarming circumstance of all.
Figures, in fact, show as incontestably
as recent fiction, written by Anthony
Hope and others, that our British
cousins are following tie same mister
path as we. The United States rec
ord, however, will not be easily sur
passed, for in thirty-four years more
than zoo, 900 divorces have been granted
on this side of the water. Pre- -eminence
in conjugal infelicity, or the external
evidences of it, remains with us.

DEMAND FOR AMERICAN
IRON IN ENGLAND
Suggestion That English Warrants Be
Issued for 1t Favors American
Producers.


A movement is now going on among
English iron dealers to have warrants
issued in such form that they will cover
American iron as well as the grades
Of English and Scotch iron against
which warrants are already issued. 1t
is proposed to establish another form
of warrant to be known as Standard
Foundry warrant, making a third In
the group Of warrants of which the
other two already in general use are
known as the Scotch warrants and the
Cleveland warrants. In this country
the warrant system is still in the stage
Of development, although the progress
in the establishment of the system has
been much more rapid in recent months
than in previous years, but the ad-
vantages of the system are generally
recognized in Great Britain and it is
admittedly desirable for producers to
be able to dispose of their iron by war
rant rather than by direct sale. Here
tofore American iron that has been
shipped to England has been disposed
of without the instrumentality of the
warrant, and this has to some extent
at least handicapped American pro-
ducers in dispOsing of their iron on the
English market. Owing to this fact
the extension of the warrant system in
England TO include the product Of
American furnaces will doubtless be
welcome TO American producers, but in
England the suggestion which is al
ready maturing is not being received
with unanimous favor.
Commenting on the plan the London
Statist said in a recent issue: 1T
seems like putting weapon in the
hands of our foreign industrial COM
petitors wherewith TO beat u.s.. If they
choose TO send US their iron to sell for
what they can get they are at liberty.
under our fiscal system, to do so. But
why should we provide them with the
means of obtaining from US as consum-
ers higher prices than they have been,
and presumably Will be again, willing
to accept as bumpers? The arrange
ment may be a good one for brokers,
but 1t seems to us distinctly a bad one
for the British iron trade"

NEW UNLOADING RECORD
ON THE GREAT LAKES
Steamer WoIvin Discharged 9945
Gross Tons Iron Ore I'm Four
and a Half Hours.

and a Half Hours.
The new steamer A. B. Wolvin has,
as expected, broken all cargo records
on the Great Lakes during the short
time which she has been in commits
sion this season. Her cargo record to
date is as follows: Nine thousand nine
hundred and four net tons, 1900 pounds
soft coal Lorain to Duluth; 1927 gross
tons iron ore, Two Harbors to Buffalo;
10,569 net tons hard coal, Buffalo to
Milwaukee; 1878 gross tons iron ore,
Escanaba to South Chicago; 9945 gross
tons iron ore, Duluth to Conneaut.
The Wolvin in her last trip to Con-
neaut established new unloading rec
ord for ore. Her cargo of 9945 gross
tons was unloaded in four hours and
thirty minutes by four Hulett clam
shell machines and four Brown electri-
cal machines working together. The
Wolvin arrived at Conneaut on Friday
night, but was compelled to walt her
turn until Monday morning. At 1920
o'clock Monday morning the eight
buckets began working upon her and
at 11:52 o'clock the last bucket was
hoisted from the hold and the whistle
Of the big steamer signaled for a tug.
She had been completely unloaded
without any hand labor whatever. No
such work has ever been done before
on the Great Lakes. The nearest ap-
proach to it is the record Of the James
H Hoyt, when 5000 tons Of ore were
taken from that steamer by the four
Hulett machines in three hours and
ffty-two minutes. The Hoyt, like the
Wolvin, has her matches spaced 12-foot
centers.-Engineering News.

WILL EXAMINE new
JERSEY ROAD PLANS.
Governor 0deII Names Commission
Which viii Visit Trenton
July II.

Trenton, jane 90 monday, July
IL, n special commission of five mem
bers appointed by the Legislature OF
New York will come to Trenton to
investigate the Now Jersey method
of road building with a view of adopt
ing it for the Empire State.
Now Jersey was the first to adopt
the State aid plan of securing the OK.
tension of good roads. Massachusetts
and Connecticut followed and then
New York fell i'll line. But the plan
as tried in the latter State has not
succeeded, and the officials claim that
the State is spending too much money
for the results being achieved.
The fame of the New Jersey roads
and the ucces of the State aid plan
here travelled to Governor Odell's baili-
wick and led to the appoin TIM OF
the comm issiOn.
The visitors, accompanied by
Henry Van Alstyne, State engineer Of
New York, on arrival he re will be re
ceived by Robert A.. Meeker, State
supervisor of public roads, and under
his direction will inspect the mac
adam roads of this county and make
n study of the methods by which they
were built.
Not only was this State tho first in
the field with State aid to road build
ing, but the road department. states
that it leads all the others States of
tho union i'll tho length and condition
of its improved roads. While the
other States, which have taken up
good road building have improved
them in detached SECTIONS, New Jer-
sey has aimed at q continuity of fine
highways, and has stretches of the
best macadam roadways 40 to 60 miles
long, with the system being extended
every year.
