First Use of Iron.

AS a result Of his. interesting nves-
legations, DR.. Ridgeway concludes
that the smelling of iron originated
in Central Europe, and especially in
the region known as Noricum, equiv
alent to modern Austria and Bavaria.
In Egypt it can be traced back tc
the ninth century B. c., and IN Libya
to about $50 B. G. First mention OF
it's use il China goes back to 400 B.
c., while in Uganda it is said to have
been in use only some five or six CEN
turtles.
The above date for the first use OF
iron in Egypt refers to the metal OBJ.
tanned by smelling. The use of native
iron in the form of meteorites dates
back to remote antiquity. The weap-
ons made from these were obtained,
like flint implements. by chipping.
And it is interesting to remember that
recent Investigations have shown that
the iron of many meteorites is a sort

British Warships in the Delaware.

Captains, vessel owners and river
men in general, who have placed faith
in the story that "a vessel was sunk in
the Delaware during the Revolution
airy War in the battle between the pa
triots and the forces of General Howe
at Fort Mif1in, express regret that
Secretary Nagei, of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, did not
choose Fort MifHn as the site of the
proposed immigrant station. The
story is that the vessel sunk was one
of those that joined in the assault on
Fort MifRin and that it contained
specie for the payment of soldiers in
the British army.
Had Fort Mif1in been selected as
the site rivermen say that the channel
of the stream and the shore would
have been dredged by the Govern
ment, so that the question as to
whether or not the war vessel was
lying at the bottom of the Delaware
would have been settled forever.

It is to be remarked, first of all,
that poles get out Of plumb and align
ment because Of wind pressure and
wire strain. Eliminate these two
stresses upon any pole, and unless it
be located at the edge of quicksand,
or abuts a living spring of water, it
will very likely remain erect until it
decays. Fig. l shows a form of brac-
ing that is excellent to aid a pole to
Withstand the rocking effect Of the
wind. Most winds are unsteady in
effort, and this accounts for so many
poles leaning, for the pressure Of
the wind comes and goes suddenly,
each gust being followed by periods
Of lull, SO that a pole rocks, swinging
out with the gust, and back with the
following lull. The design is self
explanatory, and is intended for a
full-siZed pole, set seven feet in the
ground. But poles to carry two to
four wires need not be so large, either
in diameter or in height, nor be set
80 deeply in the ground. The per-
pendicular braces, coupled at the top
by horizontal timbers, are efficient to
withstand the rocking effect of the
pole. The oblique braces are also
valuable assistants. Strange as it
may appear, when oblique braces are
used alone, they tend to lift a pole
out of the earth as it rocks back
and forth. The horizontal braces do
not have this tendency. Perhaps chill
dren have observed that their swing
