''Vesty," a story of life on the sea-
coast of New England, has this episode
in a village post office. The mail car
rier had just brought in his post bag
and the Postmistress had opened it:

she; look a this, will ye? A whole

1t was only too true. The pile Of let
ters and papers which she had emptied
onto the moulding table were red and
glowing as the Summer rose.
VIII hung his dismayed head.
"Be them ructions, or amt they?"
coldly demanded Lupette, the Postmis-

It IL possible that though the maxi

the feat is really a bogus one.
A good example OF this is Afforded
By conjurer who, putting a plate on

In front OF the pedestal, then steps

How the Manufacturing Industry II
Carried on In That Country.
Iron in China Is made by mixing
four parts OF the ore. one part Of de-
composed coal dust, and one part OF
small coal The mixture Is placed In
crucibles each about is inches deep
and 6ik inches In diameter. The
cruclbIeg are heated 10 a furnace hay-
Ing walls about three feet high and a
floor four feet by 65k feet, which is
covered with clay and spread with a
layer OF coarse coal to a height Of
seven inches or eight inches above the
clay. The furnace holds about so Of
these crucibIes. The space between
them is filled with small coal. and on
top Is placed a threeinch layer Of
small coal. followed by a layer OF
cIndern and ashes Of the same depth.
About 16 hours OF strong heat suffices
to convert the mixture into q mass
Of carbon iron. says the Iron Age.
This Is made into wrought iron by re-
heating over a wood fire end by ham
mering It when red hot.
