NEW FURNNCE FOR
 ENSLEY DIVISION Tennessee Company to Build Twin Furnace of No. 6 WILL BE MODERN PLANT ssnet-solvay Nov Has a cooperage Plant to Make All Barrels That
 Are Used In Shipping
 Products.
WILL BE MODERN PLANT

Ensley, June 22.-(special.)-Th pro- nounced success of No. furnace, the giant iron plant of the south, has caused the Tennessee company. it is reported, to decide to construct in the near future another blast furnace just the size and pattern of No 6. Work will probably begin on the new plant about August l.
 It is understood that the plans of the company are to tear away No. and erect a twin plant of No. at the site on which No 5 now stands.
 The great record being made by No. 6 has proven beyond any doubt that it pays to put into a furnace the largest and most modern machinery obtainable. The Tennessee company has equipped No. with all the modern machinery and every labor-saving device.
 Since this plant began making pig iron the daily output has been from 300 to 400 tons of iron per day Several days the record has gone over the 400 mark, and the indications are that the furnace is liable to break a record any day.
 Semet-solvay Makes Barrels.
 The semet-solvay plant. one of the leading industries of the district, has re- gently installed a cooperage plant where by it makes all of the barrels that are used in shipping it's products. The com pany does not manufacture its own slaves, but has them shipped to it's plant.
 The Semet-slovay is operating on full time In all departments and is turning out finished products in large volume.

CASE OF BIRD REASONING.
Incident in Ohio Where orioles Showed
 Great Mental Ability.

Akron Times S-Democrat.
 The question as to whether birds have power of reasoning and means of communication with their fellows has often been discussed pro and con. The following incident would seem to answer the question in the affirmative.
 A few weeks ago pair of golden ori- oles began to build a nest in large maple in the eastern part of the city. The work progressed without mishap until their little home was half fin- ished. then Mrs. Oriole met with an accident A heavy cord became se- curely wrapped around one leg Then she chung to the side of the nest. while her mate darted back and forth peck ing at the cord with great eagerness. In a few minutes Mrs. Oriole loosened her hold and fell to the end of the cord, but finding herself still a pris- oner she flew back to tine nest.
 The cord had heightened enough to enable her to rest on the edge of the nest and this afforded relief. MT. Cri- l ole continued his work unceasingly, but now and then his bill missed the string and sharp note of pain would tell how much the tiny leg was hurt.
 Whenever she dropped to the end of the cord he watched with keen anxiety | and then renewed his efforts. The min
 utes passed and he seemed to grow
 very tired: he rested on branch near i her and they seemed co consult with
 one another in low chirps :. | Fer a time he meditated and all was

 the bird worked diligently. She did not seem discouraged or at all broken hearted over the cruel desertion Of her
 mate. Suddenly cries of encourage

 stead of deserting her the mate haa gone for assistance. Then the two birds pecked away vigorously while Mrs. Oriole waited patiently. but the chirps of distress were more frequent At last after the bird had been a prs, oner d full hour the cord was severed and the three birds with glad crles flew away together These olrds
