Mechanical Uses of Castor Oil.


1t is not as universally known as il
deserves to be that castor oil is as useful
in the trades as it is as medicine. II
is much better to soften and to redeem
old leather than any other oil known
when boots and shoes are creased with
it, the oil will not at all interfere with
the polishing afterward, as is the case
with lard, olive, or any other oil. In
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the old leather
hose of some of the fire companies was
creased with it, and found to be-
como almost as soft and flexible
as new leather. Leather belts for trans
mitting motion in machinery will usually
last three TO five years, according to the
wear and tear they are exposed to; when
creased with castor oil they will last ten
years or more, as they always remain
flexible and do not crack. Besides this
advantage, castor oil will prevent
slipping, so that belt three inches
wide, impregnated with it, will be
equal to belt four and half inches
wide without castor OIL 1t is necessary,
however, to wait twcnty-four hours, till
the oil has disappeared from the surface
and penetrated the leather; otherwise
the fr, SHY creased surface will cause
slipping. That rats and other vormin
deiest anything impregnated with castor
oil, and will not touch it, is another ad-
vantapO

Grand Master Of the Teutonic Order,

Grand Master Of the Teutonic Order,
in 1900.
From this period the northern
branch of the Teutons has always
reigned in Prussia. Toward the
middle of the sixteenth century the
power of the State began to increase
in Europe, SO as to be sensibly felt.
Down to the nineteenth century it
has steadily increased, and in 1916
made an alliance with other Eu-
ropean powers that gave the coup de
grace to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Such was ancient Prussia. It's
present position as power in Eu-
rope is remarkable. But the end is
not yet. The Teutonic will is strong
one. 1t would not be surprising If
the Republican element were to OBJ
tain the control in all of Germany.

The SECRET OF THE NEEDLE Gun
DIsoovEREp. The popularity Of the
gun is secret preparation for igniting
the powder next the ball, instead Of
at the rear of the powder, by which
the powder is all consumed and the
greatest possible force is given to the

person is in possession of the secret,
and be is constantly guarded by a
force Of twelve men from the regular
Prussian army, to keep him from i'm,
parting it to others. The Cincinnati
Gazette states that Mr.. E. Kronenberg,
Of Newark, N. j., has been expert
menting with a view to learn the
composition of the igniting material
of this gun, and that few months
since he achieved complete success.
But before letting the fact be known
he communicated with the Govern.
ments of France, England and Aus
tria, to learn what propositions they
would make him for the secret. Hav-
ing heard from them, he now proposes

GRAVE CHARGE.-Peter Cook, Of
this city was taken to New Orleans
several days since under arrest. He
is charged with having obtained the
sum of $1,000 from G. L. Laughland,
a merchant of New Orleans, under
false representations.
The Crescent of Tuesday says:
The case of Peter Cook, accused
OF obtaining the sum of $1,000 from
Mr.. G. l.. Laughland, a merchant of
this city, in July, 1865, as an ad-
vance upon twenty-five bales of cot
ton, which, it is alleged, he falsely
and feloniously represented he had
at Bayou Sara, and would in few
days ship to Mr.. Laughland, came
up for examination yesterday before
Recorder Ahern. The accused is
tall, well dressed and rather genteel
looking man. We understand that
during the latter part of the war and
for some time after, he was sort of
agent for Northern cotton buyers, in
attending to the collection and ship
ment of cotton for them, but was not
engaged in transactions on his own
account.
After a preliminary examination
of the above case, the accused, being
unable to furnish bail, was remanded
to prison to await trial For the
prosecution Mr.. T. L. Lemley ap-
peared, and for the defense, Messrs.
Malloy & Dalsheimer.
II appeared in evidence during the
preliminary investigation, that the
accused had been introduced by let
ter to Mr.. Laughland in July, 1865,
from Messrs. r. H. and r. II. Mad
dux and Mr.. R. T. Morse (of the
City HoteD and in person by Mr..
William Meyers that thereupon
and after representations made by
the accused about bis having cotton
at Bayou Sara and by his binding
himself by written acknowledgment
to ship said cotton to Mr.. Laughland,
that gentleman advanced the money
az before stated; that the cotton was
never shipped as promised, and that
Laughland wrote three different let
tiers to Cook, upon the subject all of
which letters he Cook, acknowledged
while in the office of the chief of po-
lice to have received, but to neither
of which, Laughland states, he never
received an answer.
