Census statistics of coke manufacture for 1889 indicate a product valued at $35,585,445. with by-product# amounting to $952,027. In 1899 -tho coke product of the United States was worth $18,498,315. and the by-products $3831. These figures ;*«moB^rate Impressively the tremendous development of American Iron manufacture within the past decade. In 1890 ovgr^ 92 percent of the cdfl produced waa" consumed in blast furnaces, and thei figure* for 19f>0 (not yet‘available) will show, it is confidently anticipated, an even large proportion of use for this purpose.

' So- lax Is the enforcement of some of our own municipal laws and ordinances that It is of some interest to observe the Englishman In -London making similar complaint as to the smoke nuisance. It is pointed oat that thoagh the sanitary authorities have ample power to prevent the at^oke nuisance, no action has yet been taken. The smoke nuisance j held ' responsible for much or the gloomy and foggy conditions so common in London, and it is asserted that the nuisance is “rapidly becoming a menace to health as well as to the appearance of the metropolis. ■* . The evil has become so great and the pnbllc authorities have been so tax in dealing with it that now a private society has taken ujmn itself to attempt to abate the nnlsance.

The great “strikes” of oil In Texas have led to a rapid extension of its use for fuel aa a substltue for coal. Among toe advantages claimed for it are economy, cleanliness and convenience. “The expense of stoking is practically abolished." says the New Orleans Time*-Democrat, “for the oil, is automatically pumped into the fur^ naoes when needed; it produces the greatest heat, and the cost is materially leas than wood, coal or any other product that has heretofore been In use." !4o difficulty' Is experienced in changing the furnaces and engines to adapt them to olL Although tbs proximity of. the Texas' oil wells to tbs ocean gives them a decided advantage in the export trade, the domestic use of their product m fori will add greatly to 1U value, while stimulating manufacturers In that section.

Aluminum, or aluminium, as it la more properly called, haa not been used in the manufacturers long enough for Its qualities to be generally known, and metal workers frequently ask about Its atrength. Under transverse strain It U not very rigid, but It will bend nearly double without breaking. ' Its tensile strength Is greatly increased by forging and pressing at a temperature of 600 degrees Fahrenheit and If alloyed with plckel It Is much stronger than when pure. Cast aluminium Is about equal in strength to cast iron In tension, but. in resisting compression it U comparatively weak. Consul Nelson of Bergen is the anther of a report that a Copenhagen chemist after experimenting for seviral years, has invented o illtutc for rubber, which “soUcum." It Is produced from asphalt *nd can be used for the manufacture of linoleum, rubbers. Insulators, etc. It Is also claimed that the material can be used as a paint, in all colors, and that it la absolutely waterproof. The Immense value which a .cheap and good substitute for rubber - would ha,ve has led to a great number of experiments during recent years with various substances, none of which, however, up to date, have shaken the pre-eminent position which rubber holds as an insulator and waterproofer. In the report of tho director of the Peabody museum of Harvard university—Prof. Putnam—there Ja a paragraph^on the famous Calaveras skull, which ia now In the possession of the museum.

The Crandnt of AH Monntlienf*. The recent action of the state of' California In appropriating $250,000 to purchase and preserve the grove of redwoods near Santa Crux has aroused Interest throughout the country. The chief agency in accomplishing this excellent work la Mid to have been the Sempervlrens society, a body of Californians specially organized for such a purpose. “It Is a matter of natural rejoicing." says Professor Charles 8. Sargent of Brookline, but, satisfactory . as It Is In itself, it la “inadequate.” The area purchased is entirely too small. Indeed, the finest redwoods are further north. Really to preserve a redwood forest, so that all future generations of men may see it and know it. several thousand acre* of land should be acquired in the neighborhood *>f Humboldt bay. “running from the ocean back acrocs the summit of the Coast Range, and.
