A lino beyond the Arctic Circle has just been compleli’d in Sweden, where there is an iron mine. According-to the Philadelphia 'limes, “there i.s nothing speculative in the present business activity. There are booms in the West and South which are drawing capital, much of which will never return; but every channel ol regular industry and trade is on the soundest basis, with every promise of continued prosperity.” Jn Kingsley, Mich., is a youth less thuii 21 years of age, who, .ix months ago, barely knew the multiplication table. Now he is able to multiply any number of figures by a multiplier of any ■ize not exceeding 100, doing all the work in his head, mid giving a correct product every time, almost as soon as the figures are given him. An expedient to lessen the terrors of tho railroad stove is the invention of an automatic tire extinguisher, which takes water from the locomotive tank and with a hose attachment is capable of , throwing with much force a stream tin of a passenger car. In case ol or collision ’it extinguishes NSf in stoves r lumps. nnnmd expenditure sot jßflag- is .'-.'i, 807,500,000.

The fur nishing of g dd and silver bars for man ufacturing purpose- is, Superintendent Mason says, a growing business at the Assay Office. During the past ycar these liars, to the value of $10,0110,000, have been sold for use in arts mid manufact ures, ati increase of $2,000,000 o. er any previous year. When the last “melt" of the trade dollars had been poured into the molds and made into brir k. the reporter ob served that two small quantities, per haps of a grain or two each, were put into little receptacles and sent to the as. aying room. -‘These,’’ explained As sistant Assayer .1. T. Wilder, ‘ are the samples for assaying. Two are taken from inch ‘melt.’ They arc each assayed by different persons and their work must tally. If it does not thework is repeated. If tiie two assays still fail to agree the whole melt is remelted mid Iri sh samples taken. Then the process is gone through with again. “The greatest care is taken,’’ said Mr. Wilder, “to guard against inaccuracies. The assaying is done by the Gay Lussac method. The exact amount of metal is weighed mid dissolved in nitric m id. Then enough chlorine is added to pre cipitate precisely a drachm of pure -li ver. The solution is then shaken for three minutes in a shaking machine trim by steam), .-liter which it is allowed to se'tle. Mine salt water is added, every atom of which is taken account of, and If ,any silver remains in solution it shows a slight cloudiness The operation is repeated until no cloudiness appears, show ing that no silver remains in solu tion: that it has all been precipitated. Then a calculation is made as to tin: ex act fineness of tin- samples of silver in the trade dollar, W’lii 11 is < orrei ted bl silver proo s.
