Had to Do 1t.

1t has now come to light why the
Sunday mail service was inaugurated
which is proving such an agreeable
Sunday diversion for our people from
the regular routine of news less Sun
days. At first it was thought that
the Sunday mail was piece of good
ness but since then it has been dis
covered that the law compels the
carrying of mail on passenger trains.
Although these Sunday trains have
been in operation for more than a
year they have not carried regular
mail, but have carried passengers the
same as the week day trains. 1t
seems that this is in direct opposition
to the rules and regulations of the
post office department.. which provide
that railroads taking mail at all shall
carry it at least six days week, and
seven days if trains are run. No mail
was carried on the special trains
when the service was inaugurated on
the ground that they were specials,
and not regular passenger trains. AS
they were the only Sunday trains to
the ranges, the northern towns went
without Sunday mail, Recently it
became known to the postal author
titles that passengers were being car
ried on the trains, the same as on
regulars, and the result was an order
that all classes of mail, papers as well
as letters should be carried on the
trains, the order to 60 into effect
week ago Sunday. Both trains leave
Duluth shortly after I o'clock in the
morning. Under the new conditions
late Saturday mail will reach the i'm
portant range towns Sunday, and be
ready for the business houses when
they open for business Monday MORN
ings, meaning much to business IN
terest at both ends of the line.

Gayley Invention.

Although Jas. Gayley is reluctant to
talk for publication about his expert
ments with view to diminishing the
cost of pig iron land incidentally of
steeD their character is known to
his friends. When iron ore is reduc-
ed in a blast furnace it is necessary to
employ large amount of fuel--us-
ually coke-and to inject Il powerful
current of air. More tons of the lat
ter are consumed in the operation
than of the former, Fully twenty
years ago it was recognized that if the
air were deprived of its moisture be-
fore going into the furnace, less fuel
would be required, Hence, progress
i've ironmasters have long been ask
ing themselves whether or not it
might not be practible to do so.

Schwab's Prediction.

Charles M. Schwab is thus quoted
in New York interview: 81 believe
that the future development of the
steel and iron industry in the United
States will surpass all expectations.
There is no other country in the
world possesses the natural resources
of the United States or is in a
position to manufacture steel and
iron as economically as we can. The
history of the development of the
steel and iron industry in this
country has been most remarkable
one, but l firmly believe that the
future development of this industry
will surpass anything that has been
accomplished in the past"

of the United States Steel corporation
and president of the Institute of Min.
ing Engineers, is one of the many who
have studied the problem. It occur
ed to him that the; desired object
might be attained to freezing, mas
much as a low temperature robs air of
its vapor. Accordingly he put up a
refrigerating machine near one Of the
furnaces of his, company several
months ago. and is using air thus
dried for the blast.
Up to the present time enough data
has not been collected to give definite
indications of the economy of the pro-
cess, though Mr.. Gayley himself nat.
urally feels encouraged. A question
which practical metallurnists will ask
is whether the saving effected more
than pays the cost of the process.
Even If it does, there Is room for
doubt whether the improvement will
be radical enough to be In, any sense
revolutionary" At best, IL may be
regarded as only one of minor advances
effected In the art of making pig irOa,
while, on the other baud, it is possible
that it may never come into gener.
al use at all.-New York Tribune.
