MAKING PIG1RoN
Experiments With Dry Air for Blast
Furnace.
New York Tribune,

New York Tribune.
Altho James Gayley is reluctant to
talk for publication about his expert
ments with q view to diminishing the
cost Of pigiron (and incidentally OF
steeD their character is known to
some Of his friends. When iron ore
is reduced in a blast furnace it is
necessary to employ a. large amount Of
fuel-usually coke-and to inject a
powerful current Of air. More tons OF
the latter are consumed in the opera
ton than Of the former. Fully twenty
years ago it was recognized that If
the air were deprived Of its moisture
before going into the furnace, less
fuel would be required. Hence, pro-
gressive ironmasters have long been
asking themselves whether or not 1t
might not be practicable to do So.
Mr.. Gay1ey, who is a vice president
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 occurred
to him that the desired object might
be attained by freezing, inasmuch as
low temperature robs air or It's
vapor. Accordingly, he put up q re.
furnaces Of his company severa
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
process, tho Mr.. Gayley himself nat
urally feels encouraged. A question
is whether the saving effected more
than pays the cost Of the process
Even If it does, there is room for doub
whether the improvement will be radi
cal enough to be in any sense "revoo
lutionary.' At best, 1t may be regard
ed as only one Of the minor advance
effected in the art Of making pigiron
while, on the other hand, it is possibl
that it may never come into genera
use at all.

Other Grains Raised.

AS for other grains than wheat,
Canada west promises to become a
producer Of the front rank. Already
near 100000 bushels of oats and
about 100000 bushels Of barley are
raised in western Canada. Flax-rais-
ing is just beginning, and with very
satisfactory results. The total area
seeded to wheat, oats, barley and flax
this year is something over 100000
acres, distributed as follows: Wheat,
3,42O, 900: oats, 100000; barley,
$4,000; flax, $4,000. Should this
turn out to be another bumper yield
year, as is quite possible from the
present outlook, western Canada will
produce this year not less than S0,-
100000 bushels of wheat.

all sizes, shapes, colors and designs.
Several of the ladies had two and
some three aprons sent by other
members of the Aid Society, who

her of her birthday, but soon re

discreetly withdrew to his reading
room, leaving the self invited
guests to give free expression to
their feast of reason and flow of
wit.
The hostess was called upon for a
speech and being of poetical turn
of mind, after many mirth provok-
ing huns and haws, delivered these
portentous words to the tune of
