II III is no DlaSt furnace IN
England or Wales making iron
with charcoal as a fuel The last
forge in Wales producing iron
to be coated with tin was stopped
in 1892 The only makers of pure
charcoal iron sheets in England or
w Waies are said to be a Stourport con-
cern, and they are said TO consume all
their product In their own plant. 1t
is not known that any charcoal iron
blooms are produced on the island
There is no firm manufacturing tin or
terne plates using charcoal iron as
base except as noted. The term char
coal plates is now used for the best
plates using Siemens steel as base
and those are made by old firms that
had established brands In the market
mere is comparatively little done in
those plates, because common and best
cokes answer the prices offered to
better advantage.
Experts say that they would not ad-
wise going in for charcoal iron exactly
as 1t used to be done in Wales. The
quality could be charcoal of course
out they would do away with the ham
mermans hollow fire, which meant so
much waste and labor expense. The
last hollow fires in Wales used very
common coke instead of charcoal. They
hold also that the introduction of steel
as base was the prime cause that
enabled the Americans to enter into
competition with the Welsh
Some experts hold that no tin or
terne plates with steel as a base, no
matter how it is finished. can be made
to last like the old charcoal plates. 1t
can be made to look well and to stand
the severest test in stamping, but pin
holing will occur in time, owing to its
temper and ingredients There must
be return to iron as a base to Sc
cure the hest results.

ANNA'S CHILDREN

From France Without
Permit.

PARIS Nov. 1.-THE Countess de
Castellane was today granted an abso-
iute divorce from her husband, Count
Boni and the court save her the Gus
tody OF their two children.
While the Countess will have charge
Of her two sons, George Boni and jay.
the decree OF the court forbids her TAX
ing them out OF France without the
court permission.
As read from the bench the verdict
was generally accepted as allowing
Count Boni alimony amounting to
S3o,o00 year, but a closer reading of
the verdict rendered by Judge Ditts re-
veals the fact that Count Boni is not
allowed any alimony, and is also COR
demned to pay the costs Of the divorce
suit
The possibility OF Countess Annals re-
marriage is not touched in the courts
decision. and the general Interpretation
is that she Wills be free 20 wed again
should she choose.
