CHEAPER IRON AND STEEL.
Cost of Reducing Iron Ore Is Lowered
to Dollar and a Half a Ton.
The cost of roducing iron ore to
Iron Is lowered from $9 to $1.50 per
ton, according to a dispatch received
at Marinette, Wis., by J T. Jones
from his son, Elmer Jones, the mes
sage stating that an experiment with
a new process at the Jones new iron
furnace having proved an entire suc
cess. It is said the success of the
now procoss means a revolution in th
Iron making Industry. Asldo from the
big reduction in the cost of convert
lng ore Into Iron, it is said the now
process will permit the utilization of
low grades of ore which at present
cannot be worked and are valueless.
The furnace which was tested last
week cost Mr, Jones and his associates
about $250,000. The success of the
new process will make valuable mil
lions of acres of ore holdings now con
sidered almost worthless.

City's 225th Anniversary the Biggest
Thing Down the Quaker Pike 'Since
the National Centennial of 70.
Three-Quarters of a Million See It.
Like pages out ot the past, torn from
the great book of history and heavy
laden with the memories of 225 years,
tho living scenes of tho flrBt great his
torical pageant ever planned Iu this
country, were unfolded before a con
course of perhaps three-quarters of
a million people at Philadelphia Fri
day. In tho wonder-drama of tho
centuries, tho culminating feature of
Philadelphia's notable celebration of
Founders' Week, thero were 5,000 men
and women In costume. There were
seventy mammoth floats, representing
moutliB ot careful atudy and faithful
to tho last detail In their portrayal of
tho Bceuos selected from the long span
of years that have marked tho pass
lng milestones of the city. Following
tho scenes of early settlement, there
came the period of William Penn and
tho Quakera. From this time on
events moved rapidly and Btfnjamln
Franklin soon followed Penn upon the
scene. It was not long until the spec
tators found themsolves gazing on
Washington, Jefferson, Lafayette,
John Paul Jones, Rochambeau and
others In tho various scenes of their
patriotic activities. They looked upbn
Betsy Ross us she tolled upon tho
flag; they saw depicted tho scene of
voting upon the Declaration of Inde
pendence In tho old stnte house; they
saw the Virginians coming to congress
with Washington, Jefferson nnd Pat
rick Henry at their head; they saw
the New Knglands arrive with. John
Adams, John Hancock, Samuel Adams
and Robert Treat Paine riding in tho
lead, and tnen, out of nil this page
antry of make believe, thero camo a
touch of real history. It was the old
Liberty bell. On a caiefullj guarded
truck and partly burled .In Htraw, the j
old relic itself was shown as It was
being hurried away to Allentovvn In a '
hay wagon for safe keeping in 1777. j
On the heels of the departing bell !
came tho entrance of the British I
troops Into Philadelphia, under Sir
William Howe and Lord Cornwallls,
both of whom were pictured In the
parade, Tho advent of tho red coated
troops was an Imposing featuro of the
spectacle. Thero were about 1,000
well drilled men In the line, and all
were costumed In the period. Follow
ing this came the march of the Amer
icans to Yorktown. Another thousand
ineu made up the Continental troops.
Rochambeau and' tho French allies, in
resplendent uniforms, added further
color and Interest to tho revolutionary
period.
The period of the civil war gave
another opportunity for military dis
play. Tho Sons of Veterans pictured
the departure of the troops and In
uniform and equipment they compiled
with historic accuracy. Tlio selling
of war loam by Jay Cooke was fol
lowed by a visit of Lincoln to Phila
delphia, and lastly by the return of
the soldiers. Members of the Grand
Army or tho Republic volunteered for
this concluding feature of the civil
war period" and were accorded a great
ovation.
People fought to get a glimpse or
the spectacle and hundreds of women
were taken crushed and fainting from
the congested corners. Every ambu
lance In the city wns brought Into
play and every hospital wns filled.
The eight miles of grandstands, cover
tng practicullj every foot on either
sldo of tho route traversed by the
pageiint were fairly stormed by ticket
holders.
TRADE REVIEW FOR THE WEEK.
General Undertone is Toward Sustain,
ed Improvement.
Bradstreet's says: Although trad
reports are Irregular In character, ow
ing largely to varying .weather condi
tions In different sections of the coun
try and uncertainties caused by im
pending elections, the general under
tone Is toward sustained Improvement.
Country trade has been comparatively
quiet, because the farmers have beeu
taking advantage of tho ideal weather
to complete their harvesting. How
ever, the heavy marketing of crops
has made for qn Increased railway ton
nage aud Improved collections consid
erably, while exports of wheat are
heavy. Iron and steel are quiet, im
pending elections being a deterrent
influence, but production Is Increasing
In anticipation of forthcoming good
business and there Is more doing In
other Industrial lines. There Is lesg
Industrial Idleness, and iu some In
stances business Is developing for the
first quarter Of 1909, especially In

International Race at Bsrl'n Scene of
Thrilling Accld'.it.
T,1 International Inttoon race,
which started from Berlin, was the oc
casion of n thrilling accident, two
American aeronauts having a miracu
lous escape from death. The American
balloon Conqueror, having on board
A. Holland Forbes ind Augustus Post,
less than two minutes niter the Btar,
httist nt an attitude of 4,00') feet. For
l!,orn tcet it shot dvn like a bullet,
and the tho torn silk bng assumed
the shape of n parachute. Quia che'eh
lng tho rapldlt of the descent. Com
ing close to the earth, however, Lie
bosket smashed into the roof of n
bouse, but the two men escaped witn
but slight injuries.
Tho race, In which twenty-thrco bal
loons participated, represented Great
Britain, France, Germany, the Unite 1
Stales, Switzerland, Italy, Belg.um
and Spain, started in the presence of
at least 8,000 spectators. The sun,
sulne was brllllaut and the beat wan
that of summer. Amid tho sttnlns or
"America" nnd vollojs of cheers, the
first balloon was sent away. It was
tho "America II," under command of j
James c. aiccoy, wno wns accompa
nied by Lieutenant Voghmann.
A representative ot each of the
others followed the American balloon
In succession at Intervals of two min
utes, the national hymn of the respec
tive countries ringing forth as the
ropes were cast loose.
The second batch of eight balloons
wns led by Forbes, In the "Conquer
or," which was started with some dlfli
culty, owing to a gusty wind nnd too
much ballast. But eventually It shot
up and reached a high altitude In an
Incredibly short period, but the basket
swaying violently. Then almost In
Btantly a cry of horror arose from the
crowd, who saw tho silk collapse, and
shouted, "The balloon Is ripping up."
Thousands who hnd gathered there,
stood for a moment petrified. Some
turned away, fainting, as they saw the
balloon falling with lightning-like rap
idity. At tho same time, showers of
sand and appurtenances of the balloon
shot downward with equal rapidity
and then daylight wns seen through
the envelope, great ragged edges of
the silk showing on either sldo.
"They are killed," went in a
hushed whisper through the crowd,
but short!) the remainder of the en
velope appeared to take, first a trian
gular shape and then was transformed
Into a sort of parachute at tho top of I
the not and the progress or tne
wrecked balloon was considerably ar
rested. It came down slower and slower,
meanwhile being swept by the wind
far to the southeast, and finally disap
peared' from view behind a block of
houses. The suspense among th
crowd was terrible. But a few minutes
later a telephone message was re
ceived from Frledenau which an
nounced that the men had landed and
had not been seriously Injured.1 A
great sigh of relief went up among
tho people, who threw their hats In
the air for Joy The other balloons
word sent up after a brief delay with
out further accident.
