But, the young man added by postscript, the professor had forwarded to Miss Morgan a case full of curious tablets they had discovered, bearing in cuneiform characters much ancient correspondence. When the package thus advised duly arrived. Miss Morgan opened it with enthusiasm. "Can you really read this?" she a*ked Madge, as she picked out a cake of baked clay. "It looks like badly made chocolate, with the marks of hens' feet on it." It took the girl the greater part of a I day to fully decipher the hieroglyphics; I but toward evening she brought the result of her labors to her employer.

What a dear man to express it in such an uncommon way. I shall answer him at once." Whereat Madge was discreetly silent, but at the same time that she sent away a letter from Miss Morgan to Professor Kruse she posted one to Dunton from herself. The result was startling. Some weeks later came a cable from the professor to say that he was returning, and, shortly after, he arrived, accompanied by his nephew. His first call was upon Miss Morgan, who received him alone. "I had your letter," he began a-vk"wnrfiiv ns soon as the first ereetiners were over; "and to clear up the obvious misunderstanding, came home at once ?acting, I ma.v say, partly on my nephew's advice." "Misunderstanding!" repeated the lady, sharply. "It is plain that I had?ah?no intention in?ah?sending you a tablet bearing a proposal of?ah?marriage 4000 years old?of?ah?adopting its sentiments." Miss Morgan drew herself erect. "In Mr. Dunton's presence, before you left, you told me exactly the reverse," she retorted, with acerbity, "and your attentions otherwise, Professor Kruse, have been extremely marked. You ha?e placed me in a very false position." "The error may not be irremediable." he stammered, clumsily. "I have always said, Miss Morgan?Miriam, that no woman has ever interested me as you do, and that none had taken such concern in my researches."

The door opened to admit Madge Margetson and Philip Dunton, who paused as they saw the attitude of the others. But the professor called them in.

Indeed, she was so excitedly admiring in her recommendation, that the man's attention was fixed.

Two-fifths of the raw iron produced in :he world is mined in the United States, i larger proportion than any other country in the world. Great Britain long held first place, but some years ago -this country forced her into second place, and now Germany has crowded Great Britain to third place. The production, which in 1901 was 59,940,000 tons, increased to 43,480,000 tons in 1902, and reached 45,480,000 :ons In 1903. The United States is it the head with a production of 18.210,000 tons, against 17,820,000 in 1902 and 15,800,000 in 1901. Germany produced 10.000,000 tons in 1903, compared with 8,400,000 tons in 1902 and 7,790,000 in 1901.

Commenting on this the Electrical Review says: "It is probable that by this time a great many of our physical laboratorI ies are already infected, and for that I I reason it will be difficult, if not impossible, to conduct experimental work of a certain class within them for some time at least Work with these materials should be conducted in special buildings.
