The Manufacturers' Record publishes in
this week’s issue its annual review of the
industrial progress of the south for 1890,
showing great activity and prosperity
throughout that section. The total as-
sessed value of property for 1890 is nearly
*
$4,500,000,000 a gain of $270,000,000
over 1889, and of $1,600,090,000 over
1880. The number of national
banks in the south is 590, with an aggre-
gate capital of $90,763,705, an increase

four blocks of business houses swept
AWAY.
A terrible conflagration raged in Lon¬
don, on Tuesday. The scene of the fire
was in Queen Victoria and Thomas
streets, near Black Friar’s bridge. Nu-
merous warehouses were swept out of ex¬
istence. The fire was the most destruct-
ive in the history of the city of recent
years. It originated in a building occu¬
pied by C. Davidson & Son, paper and
paper felt manufac urers. and paper bag
manufacturers, at 19 Queen Victoria
street. Four blocks were destroyed, and
the amount of damages as far as known
is estimated to be £400,000 or $2,000,-
000.
A RETROSPECT
XTHi BUSINESS disasters occurino the
PAST YEAR.
The business failures occuring through¬
out the United States for the entire year
of 1890, as reported to R. G. Dunn & (Jo.’s
mercantile agency, are 10,907 in number,
being but twenty-five greater than in the
year 1889. The liabilities, however, show
u very large increase over 1889, being
$189,u00,000 against $118,000,000, an in¬
crease f over $40,000,000, hen the largest
liabilities since 1884, w they amounted
to $225,000,000. In Canada the tailures
for the year are 1,847 in number, as against
1,777 the year previous. The liabilities
are $ 18 , 000,000 *■? .1890 against $14,000,-
000 in 1889.
. ^vzen iu a Red Hot Vessel.
"Water can be frozen iu a red hot
vessel. If water or any other volatile
liquid is dropped upon red hot metal it
assumes a spheroidal form and rotates
rapidly. The globule does not really
touch the metal, but rests on a cushion
of its own vapor. A peculiarity of this
condition is that the globule evaporates
*;owIy and its temperature is always be-
low its boihmr point. If liquid sulphurous
acid (which boils at fourteen degrees,
Fahrenheit) be placed in a red hot
vessel along with a few drops of water,
both liquids assume the spheroidal state
and the intense cold of the sulphurous
aciu (which, iu this condition, is below
fourteen degrees Fahrenheit) imuiedi*
attly turns the water into ice.
By a similar process, with a mixture
of solid carbonic acid and ether, Faraday
succeeded iu freezing mercury in a red
hot crucible. Mercury freezes at thirty-
nine degrees below zero, Fzhr^absit.-
