The sparry iron ore is used for the manufacture of pigiron, and changes in roasting into magnetic ironstone,discernible by the crystals. The manufacture of iron intobars, by means of gas, is but in its infancy; but the ironproduced in this manner is considered to be preferable tothat produced by means of charcoal, and to the puddlediron in bars made by pit-coal.
[The lignites of Germany have not been found favoura-ble to tlie production of good iron; the principle has, there-fore, been introduced of distilling the fuel in close vessels,and using the resulting gases in a state of combustion intlie furnace as the source of heat to melt the iron. Theresults, as far as the experiment has yet been tried, arevery satisfactory, and the use of gases there is rapidly ex-tending in the iron districts of the Continent. Tlie relative
