FENCE WIRE PROBLEM.
Causes of the Corrosion of Steel Wire
| Fencing.

causes or the COrrOsfOn of Steel Wire
Ffncing.
Into The muclf discussed question of
what is the matter with the fence wire
nowadays the department of agricul-
ture, in a recent publication, intro
duces the theory Of electrolysis. 1t is
stated that all metal used for fence
wire at present made in this country Is
classed as steel, irrespective of the per-
centage Of carbon or whether made by
the Bessemer or open hearth process.
From the statements of officials of q
company consuming large quantities
of wire and from other authoritative
evidence, all tending in the same direc-
tion,. the following two points are ac-
cepted: First, that modern Bessemer
and open hearth steel rusts much more
rapidly than iron wire; second, that
manganese, especially if it is unevenly
distributed in the steel, is at least in
part the cause Of the trouble.
Eject of EIectroIysis.
Mr.. Cushman, the y>ar of the mon
ograph on the "Corrosion of Fence
Fire." argues that, although it is prob
able that the effects of electrolysis in
q fence wire are extremely small, 1t
must be remembered that they are con-
tinually going on whenever the wire is
wet. In almost all modern steel WOW
en- wire fences some wires will be found
to far outlast others, independent Of
the original weight OF the galvanized
covering which they carry. If in WOW
en- wire fence all the wires would last
as we'll as the best ones do there would
have been no complaints. 1t is Just
this point of unevenness of lasting
quality in wires from successive heats
in the same mill which have practically
the same chemical composition that is
hard to explain by any theory but that
of galvanic or electrolytic action. The
manufacturers have believed that the
whole trouble was In the unevenness in
the weight Of zinc covering that was
put on the wire. but experiment and
observat tons show that this is not so.

others. although thcrc Is no dieccrniblc

The ones which we should expect to
rust most quickly. - a matter OF
fact, however. they almost never do SO,
but, on the contrary, are far more
lasting than the wires farther removed
from tho ground. This observation has
been subsantiatod by large number
of competent observers. One would
not seek to preserve iron from rust or
zinc from corrosion b. laying these
metals away in wet SHOW or weeds

FOREST BELOW GROUND.
Biologist Declares That There Is Moth
ing at All Remarkable About
Its Growth-Gives Reasons.

According to an eminent biolo-
gist there is nothing at all remark
able in the discovery of a buried
forest of oak trees near Peter
borough, England. 'ln bog lands, /"
he said, ''it is a common thing to
find few feet below the surface
the forests which have been sub
merged with the shifting of the
earth's strata. From a geo
logical point of view the Peter
borough buried forest may have a
certain amount Of interest though
that depends on whether any ami
mails have been found there.
There are some great reptiles
In the South Kensington museum
which were found in Peterbor-
ough, and they are millions Of
years older than the newly discov-
cred forest.
"The forest bed on the Norfolk
coast is also far older than 1000
years. There, below the surface.
are forests of all ages-immense
tracts OF fOssilized wood.
"You must remember that all
England was one vast oak forest
at one time. patches OF which only
remain to-day. The rest is IN
der the earth.
These bog lands formed by the
filling up Of natural basins have
locked within them the forests

CANDLE MAKING INDUSTRY.
High Prices of Raw Material Said to
Be Cause Of Dscline-Their Use
Falling On.

In reply 10 inquiries from a
manufacturer of candle mOlding
machinery in Cincinnati, Consul
General Roosevelt, of Brussels,
says that the use of candles is
gradually disappearing, even in
remote districts of the country,
where petroleum is now in very
general use. In large towns and
important cities candles and pc
troleum have been superseded by
gas and electricity. The condi.
ton of the industry is not good,
which is principally attributed to
the high prices Of raw material.
Although the use of candles for
domestic Illuminating purposes is
declining, there still exist in Bel
gium three manufactures.
Materials used there in the man.
ufacture of candles are stearine,
stearic acid and paraffin. Impor
tant quantities of church candles,
short, medium and very long, sim
pie and decorated, are also manu-.
factured in Belgium. About nine
tenths of the general output is ex.
ported. Thus it is shown that
without the export trade the man.
ufacture of candles in Belgium
would practically be abandoned.
Candles are mounted by ma
chinery. The machines are Of
German, French and English
origin, the German made machine
predominating. The capacity OF
machines in use varies from so
TO 400 molds. Average daily
production is about $4,000 pounds
for each factory.
The candle industry in the vene-
tian provinces is a comparatively
important one. The statistics
for the port of Venice show that
the expectation exceeded the i'm.
portation by about $210,00O in the
calendar year 1904. Large guam
titles are also shipped TO other
parts Of Italy, of which there is no
official record. Altogether the
field is a fair one for exploitation
by manufacturers of candle max
ing machinery, although il is a
fact that the rapidly extending
use of electricity, even in small
villages, correlatively reduces the
more primitive methods of illum.
ination.
