INDUSTRIAL WORLD.

\ writer in the German review North
and South says that the exhaustion of
the worlds iron ore fields is far nearer
than is generally realized, and declares
that the predicted failure of the coal
supply is far less important than the in
evltable dearth of iron. He estimates the
worlds demand for iron during the next
ten years at 100000 tons a year,
which means from 150,000,OOO to $780,
0OO,OOO tons of ore. Ore containing less
than 70 per cent. of pure iron is not re-
garded as worth smelling. 1t is there
fore only the ore fields yielding more
than 20 per cent. of the metal that enter
these that of Kirunavara- Luossavara in
Sweden, contains, according to the latest
estimates, from 0O.0O0OOO to 500 600
eco tons of ore, which would be sufficient
to cover the worlds needs for barely
five years Nj. Sjongren, Swedish ex-
pert, estimates the worlds iron ore sup
ply at 9,2oO,OOO,OO0 tons, and if this eS-
innate is accepted as approximately cor
rect and If it is assumed that the worlds
demand Will remain stationary at 60
100000 tons of crude iron annually.
which is hardly probable it becomes evil
dent that within sixty years all the iron
ore fields now known will be exhausted.
1t is estimated that merchants fur
naces have sold 100000 tons of pig iron
since the first of January for delivery
during the current year and up to the
middle of 1910.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says that since Labor day the iron trade
has been very active. Contracts for 1OO,-
600 tons of steelmaking iron have been
placed, including 10000 tons of standard
! Bessemer and about 10000 tons of basic

terial has been satisfactory, but less
heavy than indicated by daily returns.
| This Is especially true of rails, orders for
which have aggregated about 125. 900
| tons. but about half this tonnage has
| been previously reported. Only a very
few new orders for cars or locomotives
| have been placed, but contracts previous
| ly pending have been officially confirmed.
Since the first of September wire prod
ucts have been very active new CON
tracts and specifications running at the
rate of from 5000 10 5000 tons per day
There are now inquiries in the market
| for about 100000 tons of heavy rails for
next years delivery, including the Bur
lngton, Missouri Pacific, the Hartman
| lines for the Pacific coast. and the Great
| Northern. The present inquiries for the
| Hartman lines are confined to Pacific
coast requirements and a much heavier
tonnage will be called for later
1t is estimated that a total of $500
600 tons of business was booked hy the
various steel companies in August, the
value of the orders placed amounting to
between S75,000,0o0 and S1O0oO0.oOO.

Vivyan, too, began to feel that there
was another Joy in that hour beside the
JOY of his painting. A strange thrill
ran through him each time he put his
hands on Muriel to arrange her posture.
Every time he glanced at her from his
canvas his heart beat more rapidly.
1t seemed to him that he had never
painted a picture at such terrific speed,
and the fact that he could soon do with
out his model was looming up large. He
invented all sorts of excuses to DELAY
the picture, though never once during
those precious hours did he behave except
as the artist. The lovers part he stern

play to it.

The fishing boat Ogle, owned by Il cor
poration at Erie, Pennsylvania. is to be
sold to the highest bidder by the Cana
dian authorities, at Port Dover. Ontario.
The Ogle was captured while fishing in
Canadian waters, and confiscated by the
Canadian government There has been
no international bowling in this instance,
probably because the Ogle was clearly
violating the law. The Erie corporation
is a sufferer, but there is no way other
than strict enforcement to command re
spect for the law, and American fisher
men have no right to invade Canadian
waters.

TO A KATYDID.

Somewhere in the clover.
When the twilight falls.
There's a gypsy rover
Who forever calls
In an aggravating,
Nervous kind of cry
Just reiterating:
Summer goes. Good bye,
Nonsense! Who believes voug
In the clover hid,
What is it deceiyes you,
Gypsy Katydid?
Bees are making honey,
Birds are making song:
You are being funny,
Or my guess is wrong.
Still you call. and still you
Warn me it is so;
Tell me, Gypsy, will you.
How you chance to know
You're an arch alarmer
In the clover lost;
Qouth your friend, the farmer
Six weeks more to frost.
Careful, little hinter
In you clover shack
Watch out lest Old Winter
Happen on your track.
If by any fate he,
Catching at clue,
Finds out just what Katy
Did, goodbye to you

The plating of the proposed new town
of Rothschild, in Marathon county. is
evidence that the founders of the village
have been taking an interest in the idea
of identifying cities. Rothschild is to
begin with extensive parks, boulevards,
sewerage and electric lighting systems.
But it does this because it is being
established under financial guidance,
whereas the average village or city sim
ply grows, like Topsy, and when metro
politanism is reached begins to think
about what might have been had the
pioneerds only known what was ahead of
them and their heirs.

Oystermen report that their early ship
ments are heavy enough to warrant the
prediction that this will be a record
breaking season for that industry. The
demand from the west is heavier than
usual because of a restoration of con-
fdence in the oyster through improved
methods of shipment. This confirms the
judgment of those who advised a revolu-
tionizing of methods in the direction of
cleanliness and sanitation to save rap
idly declining trade. Consumers will
rebel in the end if they are not treated
fairly. and tradesmen should take warn
ing from the experience of the oyster
men, who have just been on the carpet,
to their financial loss for at least two
seasons of poor business, while they
were trying to discover why people Were
losing their hunger for the sea food.

The Princess Mary, daughter of the
Prince of Wales, is receiving instruction
IN the humblest of the domestic arts.
One of her tasks is to assist in darning
the stockings of her younger brothers.
She takes great interest in cookery, and
recently, when asked what she would
prefer to cook, replied: Something can
eat myself" Despite the gains which
manual training is making in this .,,un-
try, there are still some who look down
upon it as beneath their dignity. To
such the example of the little English
princess is worthy of citation.

Los Angeles is so outraged over what
she deems inequality in assessments for
the levying of state taxes that she has
instituted the Southern California State
League. with the object of separating
from the mother state aud setting up 2
new commonwealth. The people of the
''Home of .the Angels" should remember
that they have a non-taxable asset that
has been making them rich. The "glo-
rious climate" cannot be directly reached
by the assessor, so he has probably reck-
oned its value in assessing Los Angeles
property. If the glorious climate" is
worth anything it ought to be worthy
of recognition on the tax roll.

Coaling seems to he destined to be

have been found in a number of in
stances, of late, in the coal for the bunk
ers of British war vessels. Unless coal
supplies are closely guarded night and

The Naval Board of Construction has
decided to adopt turbine engines for one
of the battleships of 10000 tons which
are to be constructed under contract by
William Cramp e Sons and the New
York Shipbuilding Company. The board
at first determined to use turbines on
both battleships, but as some of its mem
bers favored the adoption of a combina-
ton of turbines and reciprocating en-
gines. middle course was adopted. Per
haps before these craft are far enough
advanced for their engines the recently
reported invention by George Westing-
house. Jr., and Rear-Admiral Melville,

A London dispatch announces the APP
pearance of steel steamer of novel con
struction She is named the Monitoria,
and embodies the ideas of an inventor
who by providing her with longitudinal
grooves along the sides believes that he
has reduced the skin resistance and made
driving easier. 1t is said that the Mont
tora has demonstrated superiority over
conventional craft of her size both in
carrying and in speed, but it is not clear
at this distance how the growing of the
sides of ship can have any other eff
feet than to increase the surface area
and consequently increase the skin re-
sistance. Shipbuilders in this part of the
world will await technical descriptions of
the Monitoria with considerable interest.
