Described in the NOVEMBER McCLURE’S. Mr. Edison has designed and constructed a system of huge crushing machinery by which he takes here- tofore useless iron ore from the mountains of New Jersey, crushes it to powder at the rate of 400 tons an hour, and, by an ingenious use of magnetism, separates the pure iron dust. This result has been achieved after eight years of work and the invest- ment of millions. This article contains the first authoritative ac- count of this important invention, fully illustrated.

METHODIST UNION BAZAAR Arrangements Completed for the Opening at National Rifles’ Armory Tuesday, List of Those Who Have Signified Intention to Render Aid to the Manxgement. Arrangements have been perfected for the opening Tuesday next of the bazaar under the auspices of the Methodist Union of the District, Mr. G. W. F. Swartzell, president, to which reference has hereto- fore been made in The Star. It is believed that the result will be the relief of certain churches from the burden of debt under which they are now labor- ing, and also add a considerable sum to the funds in the treasury of the Home of the Aged—that being also in the list of ben- eficiaries. It was the wish of the committee of ar- rangements to secure possession of Na- tional Rifles’ Hall Monday next, but a previous engagement will prevent posses- sion by the union until early Tuesday morning. The committee on decorations will then proceed with their work. The plans are for a very pretty, as well as iliustrate the growth of Methodism from its foundation, more than a century ago, to the present time. Mrs. D. B.

FROZEN ON MOUNT ARARAT. Legend That It Cannot Be Climbed Falsified by an Explorer's Death. From the London Standard.» . Ararat, we learn, must now be reckoned. among the ‘mountains which haye exacted a toll of life from ‘explorers. Some of the geologists who attended the congress at St. Petersburg during the summer appear to have extended their trip to-the Caucasus (which was among the attractions of the gathering) as far as Ararat, and to have attempted the ascent, but, according to 2” telegram, one of the party, Prof. Stoeber, from Vladikavas, has been frozen toe death.” This misfortune will add to the awe with which the mountain is generally regarded in its immediate neighborhood. For cen- turles it was considered inaccessible; not. because it presented any special difficulties, but because it was deemed to be a sacred place. From a very early time it has been firmly believed that portions of the ark still remained on the summit. This is affirméd by, at Jeast,,one Greek. Father ,of early date. Adventurous climbers are said to have-been overpowered by.-1n- irresistible inclination to slumber, which, by delaying their advance, has frustrated their hopés of reaching the summit. This was consii- ered a clear proof of some supernatural guardianship, though a more skeptical age would propound another explanation. But there was yet a legend in reserve to con- fute the doubters. tery at its foot desired so ardently to gaze- on the sacred relics that he returned again and again to thé attack, always to falk asleep. But, at last, an angelic form stood by him as he slumbered, and told him that man might not tread on such holy ground, but that his faith should be rewarded with” a fragment from the timbers of the ark. When he awoke, it lay by his side, and is still preserved, so the story runs, in the monastery. So strong is this belief that not many years ago an eminent Armenian ecclesi- astic, when told by an Englishman that he had just réturned’ from the summit of Ara- rat, beamed upon him with a benevolest smile of superior knowledge, and gravely replied, ‘That is impossible; no one can ¢8-- cend Ararat.” But of late years—not- withstanding this simple way of -settlits the question—the summit has been several times reached. The first to make the as- cent was Parrot, a professor at Dorpat, in 1829. Doubts have been thrown upon his story, but there is not the slightest reason for questioning its aceuracy. As he re- iates in his well-] book, “A Journey to Ararat,” he twicé “zed, but was suc- cessful at his third attempt. He wus fol- lowed at rather long intervals by uther ex- plorers, among whom was the eminent geologist Abich, in 1845, and in that year the first Englishman, Mr. Digby Seyniour, arrived on the summit. An ascent was made in 1876 by Professor Bryce. This Was certainly not the least memorablo, for his companions became exhausted, and were obliged to haft; while he made his way up for rathef fore than four heurs quite alone, Fortunately of the two routes by which the summit genefalty has been Teached—the northwestern anj ihe south- eastern—he had seleeie, the latter, where the snow is less steep and is net so likely to make mutch step-cutting necessary. The ascent has been repeated sever:l times since then, but the climb fs undoubtedly long and toilsome, and ing cold. may he. as it. has been on ‘this pccazioa, a serious danger, me Bore We do not yet know whether Professor Stober’ became exhinated, or. whether the party were caught in a storm. Alpine climbers know: that the eqld can, pe 2. forin- idable foe, even on a right day, on the up- per part of Mont Slanc, the sad fate of.travelers who were lost in the mists and died of exhaustion is still among recent memories. But Ararat is ccnsiderally higher than Mont Riauc, dar sta suruniit only just falls short of 17,409 feet, and the severity of the cold 4s doubtless mcreased by the fact that !ts rocks on the upper part offer hardly any shelter, and the whole mountain is remarkably isolated. It crowns the Armenian plateau, rismgz from the plain of the Aras, apout 3,000 feet uhove sea level, a huge, almost solitary, elongat- ed mass, which culminates in two peaks, Little Ararat, rather more than 12,800 feet high, and the vast domed Great. Ararat. Both these—indeed, the whole mass—are of voleanic origin, but no trace of a crater re- mains. The summit is a dome of snow, but the last rocks which crop’out are indu- bitably volcanic,reddish and grayish scoria. In fact, lava or ash is met with everywhere during the ascent. The materials, so far as they have been examined, do not exhibit any great variety. They belong to a apecies of rock which is named andesite by geolo- gists, because it abounds In the South American chain. Doubtless the desire cf studying this remarkable massif, and the hope of enjoying a marvelous panorama, prompted. the ascent—undertaken, perhaps, a little too late in the year—which has end- ed so disastrously. +o2—_____ The Last Defoe. ¥rom the London Chronicle. Bh Lovers of Defoe will regret to hear that James' William Defoe—the last of the fam~. ily and the great-great-grandgon of the re- nowned author—is still an outdoor pauper of the Chelmsford Union, in receipt of the modest pittance of three shillings a week. The old man, who is now in his seventy- seventh year, feels deeply the loss of his enly son, Daniel, who died last year at San Francisco at.the early age of twenty-twé. The lad was originally placed at the Blue- coat School, but when his term had ex- pired hé chose‘h maritime fife. One ‘would have thought that among those who in childhood’s ‘happy hours have “réveted :in the pages of “Robinson Crusoe” there might have been somé who ‘would have’tome for- ward to free the closing years of this old man’s life from the shadow of the union.” “Want” ads,.1n The Star pay because they bring answers. — s : : 2 rte The Bouquet ‘of Sweet Herbs. ‘From the Philadelphia bite, Ledger.
