-THE PITTSBURG- 'DISPATCH. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1890.
"this knife it is very sharped you roust be
careful."
"Oh, it's terrible," said Malton iu a tone
which made most of those present lauzh.
"Xow,then,"said Dr. Bernhard "is there
anybody in the company against whom you
have a cruilse?"
"Oh, yes!" said Malton. "There are sev
eral; everybody who has got more money
than me."
"Xo; but is there anybody in particu
lar?" "Yes; that big- man. Why, is he so much
taller than I am?"
"res, it is very inconsiderate on his part,"
said the doctor, "and I Miink you ought to
punish him don't you?"
"Certainly; but how?"
"Why. go and stab him with that knife you
have." "
Amid breathless silence he stole across
the room, holding the roll of paper behind
his back. When he had caught up to his
intended victim he put out his hand and
said:
"I want to speak to you. Would you step
aside with me? I have something to tell
you."
"Oh, certainly, old fellow," said Kennedy,
laughinc. "How extraordinary it is," he
added, looking around him.
"Yes, do co," whispered the company.
Thereupon Kennedy allowed himself to
be led away across the room.
The scene, although a mimic one, was in
tensely tiagic; so clearly wjs the horrible
purpose working in him expressed on the
lace oT the assas-in.
He stole along hastily, still holding his
knife behind his back. When he had reached
the corner of the room where the card tible
was he bent forward, and said, almost in a
whisper, "Your coat fits you badly; you
have all sorts of creases in the back, that is
what I wanted to tell you. Turn round and
let me take them out "
"On, if you like," said Kennedy, with a
smile; "you are very obliging."
"Turn round then."
Kennedy turned in the direction indi
cated, so as to facethe spectators.
"Yes," said Malton, "1 will take the
creases out."
What then happened was so sudden that
nobody in the room, although watching
eagerly, could afterward clearly describe it.
Malton was seen to raise the paper roll, but
his hand shook and his fingers trembled wo
violently that it fell from his hand and on
to the card table at his side, before he had
had time to strike; at the same moment he
had stooped doun and bad picked up not
the paper toll, but a long pointed steel Jap
anese paper kniie which was lying bv the
side of the counier basket; there had been
a cleam in the air. a crash, a spurt ot blood,
and then the great form of the handsome
Englishman had come stumbling orward
like an ox struck in the shambles, and bad
fallen with a fearful crash full length on the
floor.
The blood spurted out from a horrible
wound iu the neck, while behind, in the
murderous position he had assumed, stood
the little dark man with an expression of
exultation on liisf.ice, mutterinc,"That will
leach him to be taller than me."
A scene of indescribable confusion fol
lowed. Bernhard rushed forward and bent down
over the wouuded man, while the women
screamed aud fainted. The men rushed out
into the corridors to summon help. '
"When assistance had tome, Bernhard un
dressed Kennedy, and having bandaced his
neck, put him to bed. He then came back
into the room, aud said to those of the
guots who still remained, anxious to hear
the result: "You need not he frightened.
It looks worse than it is; all your friend will
suffer .roni is loss oi blood. If the point of
the knife had gone the tenth part of an inch
more to the leit. it would have entered the
spinal column, and death would have been as
speedy as certain. That blow is known
among Paris murderers as the Lacenaire
blow. As it is, Mr. Kennedy will be about
again in a few days."
All this time Malton had remained in the
same position, with the same hideous ex
pression of triumph on his face, and still
muttering threats of triumph.
"What are you going to do with that fel
low," said one of the guests. "It will be
a terrible shock to him to hear what-he has
done when he wakes. Don't you think you
had better get him away; he was Kennedy's
best Iriend; he need know nothing about it
till his friend is about again?"
Bernard hesitated, tood one step in one
direction and then hack acain; then he
shrucged his shoulders, and turning to the
gentleman who had spoken to him, said:
"You are right, I had better get him away
quietly."
Then, turning to Malton, he said, "Come
away irnm there; go and put on your hat
and come out with me."
"I he still under your influence?" asked
the Englishman.
"Yes; 1 will walk him away to some dis
tance, aad then I will tell him to wake up."
A lew minutes later Bernhard was walk
ing by the side oi Malton down the Kne de
la Pais. As they reached the Place Ven
deme, aud seeing that the square had been
coninletclv deserted, Bernhard exclaimed:
"You are an infernal scoundrel. Don't
play this comedy any longer. You
can't dupe me, so " don't let us
have any more of it Confess now,
that you had some real grudge .igainst
that man, and you thought to work it off
in that way, so as to escape responsi
bility. You have been my friend or,
at least, I thought you mv friend and
en that account I will spare you; although,
properly speaking, it is my duty to hand
von over to the police as an assassin.
Enough ot this shamming. If there hart
been 50 knives on that table, and you had
been under mv influence that is to sav,
reallvinthe hpuot;c state it would not
have been one of tlio-e 50 knives you would
have picked ur, hut the one I" had given
you fir the simple reason that I had com
manded vou to kili with that kniie and no
other. Of course, those people who were
there and don't know anything about the
implicit obedience that the subject gives to
the oper.itor were duped, and thought it
was a mistake but I didn't."
Malton made no reply, but walked along
with the same sort ot immobile expression
on his face. Still expostulating with him,
the doctor crossed the Tnileries.
When he had reached the Pont Royal he
asked: "What possible use, U it you trying
to dupe me? I tell vr.u that I knew you
were shamming. And if you continue this
acting, I shall call a policeman and give
you over to him. You are the vilest scoun
drel I know."
Then an idea struck him, and he muttered,
"I can easily convince mysel ." Suddenly
he raised his voice, and addressing Malton,
laid: "You are a thoroughly contemptible
blacKguard. and wh.it you "h.ive done to
night deserves death, and you know it as
well as I do so do justice to yonrel', iheie
is Jhe Seme, throw uursilf off the bridge "
At the wme minute Maltun woke from
his immobility, leaped upon the para
pet, aud belore Bernhard who Vas
utterly dumb ounded with the sudden
ness of the act could stop him, lie had
sprung out and down into the water. A
great splash aiose, and Dr. Bernhard ran
along crying for help. Malton was seen to
rise from the water and keep himself afloat.
In the meanwhile a boat was put out from
the quay, and a few minutes later he was
rescued, taken to the ambulance depot hard
by, and restored to consciousness, which he
had apparently lost. Bernhard was present
"The man looks as if he was asleep,"
said the ambulance doctor to his colleague.
"Have you been hypnotizing him?"
"To tell the truth I don't know. I be
lieved that he was shamming, and to left
him I told him to jump into the water, and
he did so, hich makes me think that after
all perhaps" here Bernhard interrupted
himself with a cry of triumph, pointing
to the face of the patient, on whose lips as
he had spoken a faint smile had shown itself
"ahl I knew he was shamming look
there! Wake up, Malton, the comedy is
over."
As be spoke the Englishman looked up
and said, "Where am I? What is it?"
Bernhard bent down and said: "If you
don't get away at once, and if I ever meet
you again, I shall hand yon over to the
police; and in Prance," he continued, lower
inc his voice, "the penalty of attempted
mnrder is the same as murder itself that is
death. You had better go." Robert B.

THE PICT'S OLD METROPOLIS,

THE SCE.NE OP A GREAT BATTLE
rErXCIAL TELEOKAM TO THE DISPATCn.".
Iyerjtess, Scotland, September 18.
Whether you come from the Western Isles
through the Caledonian Canal, with its
noble reaches of lakes bordered bv cloud
kissed mountains where Monarch Ben Mens
scowls through the swirling mists; if by the
eastern coast where the German Ocean
thunders against granite headlands and
mighty precipices, and no sound save the
roaring of the tempest or the shrieking of
the sea-fowl is ever heard; or whether you
tramp across fair Perthshire and Ivtrness
shire over the fine highway where modern
civilization has utilized the old Roman
roads, and in your 150-mile pilgrimage from
Edinburgh you have learned to love High
land scenes in a way that gives you a faint
notion of the passionate devotion of the old
clansmen for the glens and straths in which
they were given birth; however you may
have come, by the time you have begun to
realize a familiarity and acquaintance with
the royal burgh of Inverness, its bewitchiug
environs, and especially with the most
characteristic of its people and the grave,
silent folk who swarm here from the fast
nesses of the North, a curious sense of in
terest, almost reaching the pleasureable
thrill of discovery, possesses you.
Inverness is the metropolis of the High
lands. You realize you are in Scotland;
yet when you recall your surroundings,
when you compare habit, custom, manner,
dialect, motive aud even your own feelings
and attitude resulting from n stranger's
contact with strangers, you feel that you
have come to a new and distinct land.
While every human north of the English
border :s "Scotch," as the term gors, to the
last drop ot blood iu his veins, and all pos
sess qualities typical of endless devotion to
a like national pride and feeling, perhaps
when you have come here and .ound such
radical difference between these folk aud
any vou have hitherto known in Scotland,
you begin to wonder: Where can
THE GENUINE SCOTCHMAN
be found iu Scotland? Is he in Glasgow
with iiis hard, commercial ways; his driv
ing, restless, endless activities, unsurpassed
by the mad money makers of Keir York or
Chicago? Is be in Edinburgh, with his phil
osophies, theologies, aristocracies, ceueal-
ocies, aud olten his threadbare poverties?
Is he among the Border vales with his bar
barous dialects aud lethargic, sodden con
tent? Is he in the Western Isles, starviug
half the time in desolate clachaus, the vic
tim oi poor crops, eviction, commissions,
and the slave o: east-shore fisher smackmen?
Or is he of Iuverness, Beauly, Elgin, Wick
and Thurso, in the mystic North, the true
Scotch of Scotchmen, though he has no dia
lect, speaks Gaelic more exquisitely than a
Dublin professor, and reels off "book En
glish" in greater puritv than a protestor at
Oxlord or a Boston bookseller's clerk?
This excellence of speech in the far North
becomes the more surprising when you re
member that all printed examples of broad
Scotch in dialectic anecdotes have been
attributed by their manufacturers to Scot
tish Highlanders, The fact is that the
nearer you come to the English border, on
the one side, or the Scottish border on
the other, the more do both Scottish
and English folk burl angular chunks of
Doric provincialisms atyouuntilyon sicken
with the effort of intelligent comprehension.
These borderers have the greatest pride in
their "rich broad Scotch," or their "rich
Northumbrian." Both are simply rich
jarcon. Prom Carlisle through the North
of England to Berwick-on-Tweed, and back
through Kelso, Jedburgh, Keswick, Annan
and Dumfries, in Scotland, in ordinary
course of travel you will find more people
whom you cannot readily understand than
in all the rest of Scotland; and you will in
the same way discover more folic, from the
most learned Established, or Free Church
minister down to the most ignorant gillie or
humble crofter, who speak the English
tongue grammatically, with precision and
directness, and with pleasing modulation
and inflection, north of the Grampian Hills,
than in Glasgow aud Edinburgh combined,
A POETIC SHEPHEBD.
A Highland sheep herder, over on the
sides oi crim old Ben Mu.chdliui, who" had
never seen a dozen books in his life, said to
me iu connection with his lonely life and
vocation: "I am not alone when I have
thee sheep with me, I can see so far from
my sbeeling." Tnie was not only sugges
tively poetic, but it was expressed in excel
lent English; and I give his exact words.
A fisherman taking salmon near the mouth
of(the Ness told me pleasantly: "We have
not been very fortunate this year with sal
mon; but I have always noticed that when
salmon are scarce oatmeal is plentiful," An
old blacksmith at a little forge near Car
nocb. said: "Were I not too old to take the
journey, I should like to still enioy the ad
vantages your country offers a workman."
Thepierkeeperat Drnmmadrochit inlormed
me: "The steamers on the canal are very
punctual in their arrivals." An Inverness
policeman, of whom I made an inquiry re
garding arrival and departure oi Beauly
coaches, responded: "I am sorry I cannot
tell you. It you will wait a moment I will
ascertain for you at the Highland Railway
station office." A ragged lad, hawking fish
with a doukey and cart, of whom I asked
the value of his diminutive outfit, promptly
replied: "I think, sir, as good ones conld
not be got for 3; though I would not like
to take that for them." My landlady.a very
ordinary sort of woman, always asks:
"Which would you preler, sir, an infusion
of tea or a brewing of coffee?" The hum
blest shopkeeper will say: "I cannot sup
ply the article to-day, sir;" or, "I am sorry
I have not the article you wish."
If this royal old capital of the Highlands
were not pleasing to you from the purity of
tongue, the attitude of citizeu to stranger,
and, its people, a certain fine graiji of dig
nity that is never brusqueness, reserve that
is never selfishness, and yet a genial con
sideration that never betrays, if it possesses,
the contemptible affability of alert venality,
you could not help falling completely in
love with the romance of its history, the
beauty ot the city itself, and
THE ANTIQUARIAN INTEREST
and scenic grandeur of its environment
Your fancy can travel a long way back
here at ancient Inverness, for it was the
original metropolis of all the Picts.
Columba, Scotland's great apostle,
came here in the Sixth centurv
and converted Brudeus, king of the Picts.
William the Lion granted it four charters,
and these brave old documents are still
authority for the freedom of the city. In
deed until the invasion of Scotland "by Ed
ward I., Inverness was undoubtedly the
seat, or frequented resort, of all Scottish
Kings, whose presence was required in
protecting the ancient capital from the in
cursions of the Danes and northern Vikings,
or for quelling the insurrections of rebellious
northern chiefs.
Macbeth, of Shakspearean fame, the
maormer or "great man" of Ross, became
also that of Moray, including Inverness, by
marriage, and was once master of the
oricinal cattle of Inverness on "the Crown,"
at the mouth of the Ness, which place is re
garded by some authorities as the scene
of King Duncan's murder. Then a
later castle, where the shire build
ings now stand on the crown of a
picturesque bill in the heart of the city,
was atterwards in the hands of Macduff. It
also became the prison of Sir John Lovat
In 1303 it was seized for Edward I. Its
capture by friends of Robert Bruce, then a
penniless fugitive in the Western Isles,
prompted that valiant adventurer 'to the
course of enterprise which finally gave him
the throne, and Scotland a noble line of
patriot kings. James L when in the North,
in 1427, to castigate its turbulent chiefs,
held a parliament within it. Forty years
later James III. occupied it. "In 1835'Qheen
regent Mary oi Gnise was here to summon
courts and punish Highland robbers then
termed "cate'rans;" and seven years later,
when Queen Mary was driven from the
castle gate and wus compelled to lodge in a
comfortable thatched habitation of the time,
some of whose walls still stand down there
by the site of the old bridge. Just at the
harbor edge are the remains ot
A TREMENDOUS TORT
built by Cromwell, among others, to over
awe the North. And it was from here that,
after that most brilliant series of accom
plishments in the face, of hopeless penury
known to the annals of British war'are, the
broken remnants ot Prince Charles Ed ward's
little army went forth on that fatal 16th of
April, 1746, to their slauchter by the Duke
of Cumberland's army, and in that slauchter
to forever bury on dreary Culloden'"Moor,
iust over that near ridge of hills there, .the
no pes of the valiant Stuart cause. Standing
upon Castle Hill, around which the fair
city is built, with the River Ness beneath
you, this old Northern capital and its sur
roundings are rich with interest and beauty.
Around the base of the hill are winding
streets, full ot curious old structures
with gable-ends, arched gateways, hang
ing balconies, projecting towers and
round turnpike stairs, flanked bv veotiels,
closes and alleys, quaint as those of Old
Edinburgh itself. It was at the old Courier
office, just below there, that rare Hugh
Miller, wbile chiseling Inverness grave
stones and pothering along the old coast
line to trace pre-Adamite periods, got out
his little volume oi 20 poems, which, if you
have one handy now, you can sell lor 20
guineas to the book collectors. Where you
stand, once came aud dwelt Piclislr and
Scottish kincs. The blue river sweep) past
irom the southwest, after receiving the
waters of that majestic chain of 'lakes
which, bordered by the greatest mountains
of Scotland, stretches straight as an arrow
from the German Ocean to the Western Sea.
In the opposite direction city and valley
basin sweep to the harbor edge in graceful
circles. There and beyond, where once rode
the Dutch and Indian freighters, is "now,
first the crescent of tide-lretted shore; then
the splendcd bay dotted by the lazy sails of
east-coast fishers; then the opaline shimmer
ing of the Firth of Ivcrnes, expanding and
finally narrowing where Fortrose stood at
the north, and Cromwell's grim menace,
stupendous Fort George, jutted from the
headland at the south; and then vast
Moray Firth with its fierce far headlands;
and at last the bine sea. Just across the
river there, at the northern edge ot the city,
stands Craig-Phadric, lilting its parachute
like crowning forest above the city, and
bidinc within it one of those most curious
of antiquarian, enicmas, a vitrified fort of
Pagan construction, the most extensive and
perfect one still existing in Britain. Down
behind you in the
MAZES OF ANCIENT STREETS
are the remains of an ancient market-cross,
nobody knows how many centuries old; and
in its base is embedded a blue, lozenge
shaped stone, the palladium of thp old
burgh, aud called Clach-na-cudden, or
"Stone of the Tubs," for having been for
untold generations the resting place for
women with their tub, as they halted a
moment for gossip on their way to and from
the Ness for water. Just a mile from where
yon stand, at the mouth of the Caledonian
banal, is one of the most picturesque little
fishing villages of Scotland. It is in reality
a partot the ancient city. It is called
Ciaclinaharry. It clusters about the base
of a high, bold headland rock. In olden
times sentinels were stationed upon this
rock to give notice of the approach of cate
rans and other marauders. Clach-na-herry,
,, Rock of the Watchman," was its Gaelic
name 2,000 years ago, and Clacbnaharry it
remains to this day. Just, there in the
southwestern edge of the town, raises from
the plain bogle-haunted Tomnrrtiurich.
Tom-a-churiach, or "Knoll of the Canoe,"
was its Gaelic name; because it re
sembles an inverted ancient curach, the
hide bottomed canoe of the ancients. Hugh
Miller gives it rank as "Queen of the Scot
tish tombans." Tradition says the mighty
cairn is the tomb of Thomas the Rhymer,
prophet bard of Ercildoune; a tomb as
eternal and almost as mighty as the pyra
mid of Cheops. Fairy lore peoples it with
colonies and legions of the wee folk. Sa
vant and servant quicken, their pace by it
at night; and all Highlanders hold' it iu
veneration.
Not lour miles from where you stand, on
the great Moor of Cullodert, which sweeps
iu dreary ridgesand scrubby plantations of
firs around Culfoden House, then, when the
headquarters of "bounic Prince Charlie,"
and now, with its modern restoration,, the
pioperty of the Forbes fuinily, Cumber
land's 10,000 trained men butchered all the
fierce and devoted band who remained to
stand with sword in hand for the Hue of
Stnart Where all the different clans fell
can be as clearly traced by the tiny head
stones as we can follow the old wraith-lines
of our owu Blue and Gray on the field of
Gettysburg.
PREHISTORIC WORKS.
A step beyond CulJoden Moor, just across
the little river Nairn, is another mvstic city
ot the dead. In a linv valley domiuated by
two hills called Dun Evan and Dun Daviot,
on which can still be traced the outlines
and walls of stupendous prehistoric forts,
you will find the most extensive and' im
pressive series of cains and stone circles "any
where existing in Scotland. If ancient
Inverness was the capital of Pictavia, here
was the place ot incineration and sepulture
of all those mighty northcrii husts from re
motest, mist-hiduen time. But turning
Irom contemplation of bogle-haunted cairns,
ancient slaughter pens and wondrous, Pagtn
Necropolis, how fair the valley smiles back,
with gleaininc river, shimmeiing bay,
glassy lake and beauteous city, to the Sep
tember sun. ,
Myriad upou myriad gossamer lines sweep
across it from mountain to cairn, from cairn
to spire, from spire to headland, from bead
laud to mountain again; and aiong the'ser

wreathe the peaks above. Those, to the south

combustion tube. Carefol experiments show
that the sulphate of silver washing tube fs a
completn protection acainst hydrochloric acid,
and the metallic sliver In the tube was relied
on for protectionagainst free chlorine, or
other chlorine compounds. Tbo time of mak
ing a combustion was about an hour and a
quarter; 15 to 20 minutes bcine taken to heat
the oxlae of copper, about half an hour for the
burning, anil 25 to 30 minutes for the air aspira
tion. Blair's apparatus Is substantially the
same as the above. His purifying train follow
ing the combustion tube contains a tube of
anhydrous sulphate of copper or pumice stone.
This tnbe Is always freshly filled.
DUDLEY'S HARD 'WORK AT IT.
Dudley began bis study of this problem of
the release of the carbon by quite an amount
of preliminary study on the reliability of his
apparatus and method of making combustions.
A number of 'modifications were tried, but
finally the apparatus and method previously
described under the heading, "Dudley's Appa
rotus and Method," were settled upon, and this
apparatus and method were checked up by the
following determination": Into an ordinary
glass combustion tnbe some 60 grams of the
well-known combustion mixture ot chromate
of lead and bichromate of potash wero placed,
taking care that the material did not reach to
either end of the tube, and holding it in place
at each end by asllestos plugs previously fg.
cited. The tube was then placed iu the fur
nace a combustion made tn the regular way,
the position of the material, not leaching to
either end, allowing the whole of It to be uni
formly heated.
This combustion was simply a blank to elimi
nate any possible error due to Impurities in tbo
combustion mixture. A small increase In
weight in the absorption apparatus was found,
and a second blank save exactly the same re
sults. As this solution of double chloride will
he referred to hereafter, we will say that it was
made in Dudley's laboratory by obtaining from
the market commercial chloride of copper and
commercial chloride of ammonium, and dis
solvinc these in water and mixing them in the
proportions to form a double chloride contain
ing one molecule e.ich 'of the two salts. A
small amount of free ammonia was added,
enoueh to cause a perceptible separation of
hydrated oxide of copper. The solution was
then allowed to settle, and always filtered
through previously ignited asbestos before
using.
CONCLUSIONS OP THE ANALYSTS.
The conclusions here presented are not those
of the committee in their official capacity.
They are the views provisionally held by the
members whose work is given above. The
combnstinn of carbon in a porcelain tnbe in a
stream of purified oxygen, when the precau
tions indicated are usod, gives sensibly ac
curate results. If the carbon contains chlorine
it is desirable to use a coil of metallic silver in
the combustion tube, and It Is apparently also
essential to use some solution of silver, prefer
ably the sulphate, in the purifyinir train. The
chromic acid method Is capable of burning all
tbo carbon used. If this carbon also contains
chlorine, then it is essential tn use some de
oxidant in the purifying train, preferably
pyrogallic acid with oxalate of potash; also a
liquid silver absurbeut must follow the de
oxidizing tube. Under these conditions this
method gives sensibly accurate results. The
most important discovery made by the commit
tee in this work pertains to the variable action
of the double chloride solutions. This appar
ently throws doubts on the reliability of all
carbon determinations previously made by this
re-acent, since they show variations on the
same steel lying between 1.016 and 1.150.
CARBON AFFECTED BT CHLORIDE.
When the degree of acidity is kept constant
the apparent quantity of carbon found is af
fected by the mode of preparation of the donble
chloride, by its age, and by the number of
times it has been crystallized. A carbon sponge
derived from a double chloride solution does
not appear to lose any carbon by -drying at a
temperature under 100 C.Dut loses if the heat
is higher. The problems now before tbe com
mittee, as suggested by the above results, are:
The determination uf carbon in steel by bOtne
direct process not involving tbe use of double
chloride; the direct combustion of finely divided
metal in oxygen or cbromic acid is one of
these, or bv fusion in a mixture of bi-sulDhate
and bi-cbromate of potash. The determina
tion, if possible, whether a neutral or alka
line double chloride liquid may not dissolve a
portion of the carbonaceous residuum, and thus
lead to results which are too low. The deter
mination whether the addition of acid simply
prevents this tendency, or whether trie use of
acid my not favor the separation of pre
existing organic matter in the liquid, and its
retention by tbe carbon sponge, thus leading to
results which are too high. The investigation
of the cause of the influence of repeated
crystallizations of the double chloride on the
apparent quantity or carbon.
Finally, it is to be presumed that many, if not
all of the above points, have attracted the at
tention of other analysts; and the committee
will be glad to learn of the results and experi
ence of others along these lines.
Prof. Lunge followed with a short address
in which he commended the work of the

Prof. Sterrys Paper on Stratas Listened to
'With Interest Statistics on the Amount
of Pig Iron Turned Out the Past Year
and 'Where It Came From.
As Prof. I. Sterry Hunt was not present
the Institute was determined to have the
speech he was billed to deliver and loudly
called for the Proressor's paper. It was
read by the matter, was found characteristic
of the Fast President of the American So
ciety. The pape- treated of the "Iron Ores
of tb United States," and was as follows:
Over O.oOO.OOO tons ot pig iron were produced
in the United States during the year ending
June 30, 1SU0. Including about 500,000 tons from
imported ores. Of tbe 9,000,000 in round num.
bers 99 per cent were made from ores mined to
the east of the Mississippi, and the remalndor,
with insignificant exceptions, in the Stato of
Missouri, near the western bank of that great
river. The supply of native ores Is, therefore,
essentially from the eastern portion of our
country. From the Mississippi stretching west
ward to the frontier range ot the Rocky
Mountains, and in that creat mountain range
itself, are treasures alike of iron anil coal nluch
await development, while still farther West
the vast American basin, and its Pacific mount
ain belt, have as yet attracted attention chiefly
for their rich stores of gold, silver, copper and
mercury.
WHERE THE REGION IS CONFINED.
Up to the present time, then, it may bo said
that the iron industry of the United States is
confined to tho great region drained by the
Mississippi and Ohio and their tributary rivers
southward toward the Gulf, by the northern
chain of lakes discharged by the St. Lawrence,
and. to the Atlantic mountain belt, whose drain
age waters find their way by more direct chan
nels to the Atlantic. The great physical feat
ures of this eastern half of the North Amer
ican continent are remarkable. Between the
eastern front of the Cordilleras in Colorado
and tho mountains of the Atlantic belt and the
Appalachians. which stretch from New England
and Eastern New York to Alabama.spreads tbe
vast region traversed by navigable rivers, from
Lake Superior southward to tho Gulf of
Mexico and eastward to the:Gulf of St. Law
rence. In one place alone Is the great Atlantic
barrier broken. This is where the tidal and
navigable waters of the Hudson river traverse
the Highlands, and. permitted by the sinking
away of thu Appalachians in Southern New
York, connect the waters of the Hudson,
through the Erie Canal, with those of Lake
Erie, and through Lakn Champlaln with the at.
Lawrence, affording a sjstem of internal navi
gation which must always give to tho City of
New York a commercial supremacy on our
Eastern shores.
Coming back to the eastern part ot the
United States and to the region defined as the
Appalachian Valley, lying along tbe south
western border of tbe great Atlantic belt, and
traceable from Western Vermont as far south
ward as Alabama. From an early time in the
history of American iron working, the import
ance as a source ot iron of tho brown ores of
that region was recognized, and they were
smelted more than a century since in Western
Connecticut and in Pennsylvania. These
hydrous ores, for the most part liniomte, and
generally known as brown hematite, are found
imbeded in soft deposits more or less clay-like
in character, and consisting of certain crystal
line schists altered and greatly softened in situ
by chemical changes, often to a depth of 100
feet or more. These folded and inclined strata,
which have been sheltered from erosion by the
belt of older crystalline rocks along their
border, merit an especial study alike for them,
selves and for the ore deposits which they in.
elude.
MAT BE STUDIED HERE.
Tbe similarity Inform, distribution and mode
of occurrence of these hydrous ores is well
known to those engaged In the mining of them,
and may be advantageously studied In parts of
Western New England and in Duch-ss county,
N. Y.. In portions of New Jersey and through
out the great Appalachian Valley in Pennsyl
vania and farther southwards, where tlioy are
'also associated in many places with anhydrous
nxydized ores magnetite and red hematite.
The nature of all these deposits, but e-snecially
of the hydrous ores and their decayed strata,
as well as their geological age, has been the
'subject of much vague speculation and unfor
tunately of great misconceptions on the part of
many geologists, nor is it too much to tay that
an adequate solution of the problems tbns
raised involves many difficult qnestions alike of
chemistry, mineralogy and of geological strat
igraphy, which gu far to explald the confusion
still existing.
The Taconian ore deposits from Lake Super
ior furnished in 1887 over U per cent, and with
those from the Cornwall mine, and the brown
hematites of tbe Appalachian valley, consider
ably iiver one-half of the total iron product of
the United States.
The following figures will suffice to give a
notion of the absolute and relative importance
of the Importations of iron ore to the United
States for tbe fiscal years ending June SO, 1KS7.
and June SO, 18S8, which amounted respectively
to 1,441,771 tons and 017,644 of ores carrying
from 50 to 60 per cent of iron:
18S7. 1888.
Spain 4 8 s'i.o
Algeria 18.8 17.7
Italy 10.0 10.7
Greece 4.0 3.7
England 6.3 fi.2
Cul.a 8.6 16.0
lirltlsli North America 1.1 1.5
The Imports from Cuba for 18S8-S9 has risen
31.5 per cent of 062,032 tons.
MANNESMANNrUBE EXHIBIT.
Products Not Seen In This Country They
"Were Turned From Solid Bars of Steel
Can bo Twisted and Doubled Without
Affecting the Metal.
On the stage were dozens of samples of
Mannesmann tubes turned by tbe famed Ger
man company from solid bars of steel and
able to withstand a pressure of 3,000 pouuds
to the square inch. Prof. Wedding de
livered an Interesting lecture on the tnbes,
and did it in such an off-hand manner that
there was no question about his familiarity
with the subject. He said:
Some of theo are pieces nhioli were closed
at both ends, but havo been broken in two to
show the forming or tbe tube and the massivo
block of metal used In its constrnction. Tho
interior of tbe broken parts exhibits a crys
talline surface with a metallic luster, and
affords incontestable proof of the existence of
a vacuum during the formation of the tubes,
also of the absence of a mandril, bit or similar
tool. Other samples illustrate tbe working of
a mandril in its application for smoothing the
crystalline inner sides ot the pipes. A series
of these specimens conclusively prove that the
tubes can bo turned out in any desired dimen
sion.
Several specimens of three and four inch
tubes, of whicn 30 miles of each size have been
furnished for a South American water main.
Of the fonr inch pipes there has been furnished
a petroleum residue condnit, 15 English miles
in length, for the Caucasian district, the oil to
be pumped a height of 3,300 feet to the top of
a mountain, every piece having, before de
livery, been tested by the buyer to withstand a
pressure of 2,500 pounds to the square inch.
Thee pipes are ofj tbcfrrdinary length. I. e., 10
23 feet; tbe Mannesmann-tubes have been
turned nut, however, in lengths of 45 feet and
upward, which evidently iosims a considerable
decrease in the number of connecting pieces.
The hammered samples of these tubes and
tboso which have been shortened, also by be
ing hammered, are evidence of the elasticity of
tbe pipes aud their adaptability for use with
out separate connecting pieces; it being a com
paratively easy matter to join the tubes them
selves AIoto convert them Into any desired
shape or form for constructive purposes.
Other Mannesmann tabes, which have been
turned inside out and then doubled un. fivn
evidence that the metal not alone did not suffer
through having been worked by this process,
but that on the contrary the quality of the
steel has been Improved thereby to a degree
never before attained in any tabular article.
Welded tabes, if treated in this manner would
split open, while pipes turned out from massive
blocks by the latter being made hollow through
boring, could not with safety be treated in this
way on account of the absence of tbe spiral
like fibrous structure, for which tbe Mannes
mann tubes are noted. The diameter of some
of the sample pieces has been increased three
fold by forcing a conic wedge into their ends,
without using other pressure. This equals a
tensile elongation by traction to three times
the original length.
The dream of all bridge builders, the thin
walled, weldless steel tube of large diameter
and great length, has been realized. We see
parts of tbe historically interesting first
production of Mannesmann tubes, IS and 15
inches in diameter, with a one-fourth Inch
wall. Tbe employment of these tubes in a
larger diameter permits the building of longer
and also more economical bridges as well as of
spans of greater length than has been feasible
iu the past.
LAVISH IN THEIR PRAISE.
A Vote of Thanks Tendered tho Pittsbnrg;
People for Their Hospitality.
Before the meeting in Carnegie Hall ad
journed, Sir James Kitson arose aud said:
'I have been asked to pay to Mr. B. F.
Junes, President oi the American Iron and
Steel Association, the courtesy of a visit
and tender him a vote of thanks for tbe hos
pitality shown us. When tbe welcome was
given us by Mr. Carnegie, he said every
thing would be open to us. These words
have been fully carried out and we have
been overwhelmed and astonished at the
hospitality of the people of Pittsburg.
What has been done, will bear fruit in the
future by binding together three great na
tions of the world."
A resolution to tender the vote of thanks
was unanimously carried and the meeting
broke up in three American cheers, followed
by the vociferous German "hoch," "hoch,"
hocb."
CHRISTIAN UNION WORK.
A Meeting to be Held in the First Presby

A meeting iu the interest of Christian
Union and European disarmament will, be
held at the First Presbyterian Church to
morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Br. Geo.
Dana Boardmnn, LL. D., pastor of the
Arch Street Baptist Church, of Philadel
phia, and one of the main trustees of the
Pennsylvania University, as well as of the
Columbian College, of Washington, D. C, is
a man of very broad ideas and very much in
terested iu Christian Union. He, with a
few other gentlemen, formed a peace society
a few years am, composed of all denomina
tions of Evangelical Christians, but re
stricted to them alone. It has since grown
to cover England, France, Germany, Italy
and all Christians everywhere who believe
in union and peace. They have a Secretary
in Philadelphia and one in Paris, Mr. Ben
jamin F. Trueblood, late President of Penn
College. Iowa.
The society, from careful investigation,be
lieves if the American Christians will intro
duce their Christian methods in France sim
ilar to the way they Imve treated the Indian
question in America disarmament of Europe
is possible. They have found the moit ac

Germany are heartilv interested and agree
to do their share both in money and men to
preach a peace gospel. ,

AMERICAN IRON WORKS.
The Well-Known Interests of
Messrs. Jones & Laughlin,
MR.MICHAELH.SMITH TALKS
The American Iron "Workf, owned by
Messrs. Jones & Laughlin, is probably one
of the most prominent and best known in
dustries of its kind in this section of the
country. It is with the engineer of this im
mense works and his somewhat remarkable
experience that the following sketch has to
do.
Mr. Michael H. Smith is now, and has
been for the past 20 years, a resident of old
original Browustown, living at No. 2822
Ilarkins street, between Jane and Mary
streets, Southside. Iu an interview with
the writer, among other things, Mr. Smith
sahl: "for some time I hud been troubled
with catirrh, at least that is what everyone
said was the matter with me.
Mr. Michael IT. Smith. !Si3 IlarUtvt Street,
Southiide, I'iltzburg, Pa.
"It came on gradually from colds. I think I
first noticed it in my head. My nostrils would
clog np. first one side then tho other. I had a
dull, heavy pain over my. eyes and through the
temples. My head and throat would till up so
with a touch yellow phlegm that I could hardly
breathe. I would have to get up at nignt and
hawk and ral-c to clear it.
Asmv trouble grew worse my appetite failed
me. I Had noreli-h for an thing. No kind of
food seemed to agree with rue. My rest was
broken, 1 uas unable to sleep or do anythmc
else. I would have to get up at night and walk
the floor to relieve my miniL 1 would have se
vere pains in my stomach and it would swell np
and feel as if there was a hea7y weight of iron
inside it. Pjlpitathm of the heart set in. I
would feel weak and dizzy.
"Why didn't I try io find relief? Idid. I
tried almost everything 1 ever heirdof, and
went to a number uf physicians, but with all
kept growing gradually worse until finally 1
was compelled io give up my work and remain
at home. I was unable to do anything. I had
been in this condition, away from my nork,
about seven wcexs, when, after reading in the
Eaper of a case similar to my own that
ail been treated and cured by Urs.
Copeland & Blair, I decided to call
on them without delay, and trv once
more for relief from my suffering. I did so,
and finding their charges so very reasonable be
gan their treatment at once. Rather to my
surprise I began to improve almost from the
first. My bead and throat became clear. My
appetite returned. I have no more trouble
with my stomach. I sleep soundly now and
riso refreshed. In short, all my symptoms gen
erally disappeared. I have returned to my old
job again and do my work without trouble. I
am a different man entirely from what I was,
and I owe my recovery to the skill! ul treat,
ment of Drs. Copeland and Blair."
Mr. Smith lives, as stated, at No. 2S22 liar
kins street, where tbis statement can be read
ily verified.
Home Treatment.
Mrs. Robert Ramsey, of Washington, Pa.,
speaking of her successful treatment with Drs,
CopelauI & Blair, says: "Every fall for the pait
five years 1 have been troubled with chronic
dyspepsia. Have tried countless remedies and
various physicians without any relief. I could
not get ease from pain m any position I wonld
assume. Kvery breath I drew was like a knife
cutting me. 1 became weak and pale, losing
greatly In weight.
"I began treatment by mail with Drs. Cope
land & Blair. AH these' symptom have dis
appeared, and 1 now feel as well as I ever
did."
NOTABLE CREDENTIALS.
The credentials and indorsements of these
gentlemen are indeed nuteuortuv. In geneial.
there is no higher collegiate medical authority
in the country than Bellevue Hospital, of which
Dr. W. II. Copeland is a graduate; locally, no
higher (ban that uf the Western Pennsylvania
