Few persons have an adequate idea Ct

liquor bar in a large city. 1t would
Eave been hard struggle 10 have be-

there are four establishments in New

just closed will exceed that amount.
On holidays and other occasions when
the demands of thirsty multitude are
excessive, the money received by these
places sometimes reaches 50, 500. These
concerns have no accessories in the

The MANUFACTURES OF NITRo-GLYCER-
me- Professor Mowbray will put up a
two-story wooden building at North
Adams, Mass, one hundred feet by
eighteen, on the site of his late gycerine
works. 1t is intended to SO model the
new works that by supply of warm or
cold air, and warm and cold water. with
lesden floor, the risks from nitro-glycer-
inc, and from thawing out when it has
CONCEALED, will hereafter be entirely re-
moved. At the close of each days work
the last vestiges, whether of nitro-glyc-
crime, acid vapors. or water impregnated
with the same, will be entirely cleared
away. As originally constructed these
WORKS were not complete in this respect
and although frequent reconstruction
and additions have been made from time
to time. stiil the unwillingness to tear
down and use pick and crowbar over the
site of the old buildings prevented a
thorough Encouragement; this will now
be done. and it is believed that hereafter
an accident, SO far as eight years ex
perience can suggest or provide, will be
an impossibility. About two hours
work every day will be the limit of man
u'acturing. Only fifteen minutes of
this time will be used in handling the
explosive material; the remainder of
the time will be spent in clearing up
and preparing for the next days run.
Thus danger will at least be reduced TO
