wives, lanndresses and rubber workers among females. It was not always easy to trees the direct cause. So far as could be determined, however, the irritation was due to soap and washing materials, moistars and mad, hot substances, varnishes and paints, alkalies and ncids, naphtha, sugar, four and paraffin, in this order of frequency. Ointments, well rubbed in, had increased the trouble in many cases The arms, hands and face are most often affected hrt in 11 csses the whole body was irritated. As a role, there was no general ill health, thongh such disturbances as anaemia, dyspepsia, influenza and rheumatism were noted in 25 cases.

For his iron reduction without blast furnace or fusion, J. T. Jones, of Iron Mountain Mich, claims especial economy and effectiveness with low grade ores. A slightly inclined cylinder 8 feet in diameter and 120 feet long is rotatel on bearing wheels, and the ve fed in at the upper end slowly moves to the lower end, where gaz | from a special producer gives a powerful reduc. ing flame, with a temperature of 1470 degrees Fahr, in which all oxides are reduced. Tho hot gas emerges from the upper end of the oylinder as carbon diaude at 400 degres. It is stated that 400 pounds of fuel fed to the pro. ducer does the work of 2000 pounds of coke in the blast furnace and yields a ton of good iron.
