A very startling piece of information cemee ' to us 'from the Rive-de-Gier (France). A block of ore, weighing some thirty-five pounds, was broken into small pieces and placed into a melting furnace. When the ore reached the red-hot temperature a rage ant was sdded and the fusion of the ore was 00m pie te in three minutes. This fusion was iron,' andv the rageant cost only eighteen cents per ton of the metal ob tained. A blast furnace) wjald thus f roduce twenty-two tone of iron every ourteen minutes, instead of every twelve dsys. Besides this the furnace would clean Itself at every ! operation. me experiments were made at tne Iron works ox at. isrunon, and aboaid 1 statements be proved, metallurgical interests would have to- eon form to an other transformation not less lmpor nnt than that Involved in the Besw uaer steel process. ' atarfllag Chinese late Waseiatto 1 1 Temtery. Washington, D. C. Aug. 7. The Tresssry Department to-day received a telegram from the Collector of Cos lams at Toco ma, Washington Territory, stat ing that his officers with the assistance of the revenue steamer. Waicott. had captured a stoop engaged in running Chinese across the line front Biitish Columbia through Puget Sound. Two smugglers were arrested, but nine of the cninese passengers escaped. The Collector also stated that nearly one hundred Chinamen had landed at vari ous points on the Northern frontier in boats and Indian canoes within the past few days and that he is ; powerless to prevent their landing unless his force is largely increased. Catholics ta India ; The number of Roman' Catholic Christians in India is set down as 963. O&S, or a little over one-half of the whole. Indeed, a strict scrutiny is stated to hare brought out the total of native Protestant Christians as onlv a little over COtUXXX But this number shows the very satisfactory Increase of 80 per cent. In ten years, as in 1871 the total was only gi8jS83.4$itrty years agalhe- nueaharof native Christians .'was only 10S.MI. In 1861 this number .had la creased by S3 per cent and again la 1871 by 61 per cent so that there has been for aome time back a rapid and unoroxen progress. - Ceadeaeed. Press Du pal eke.
