To Mining and Mill Superinten-
dents:

. The great and unparalleled success that has
been achieved by our Asbestos Non Conduc-
tor for covering Steam Boilers and Pipes war
rant MS in Offering It to you as the BEST AND
MOST DURABLE FELTING now exciting.
This Company is the oldest and most exten.
sive In the United States. and by actual test
the Asbestos Felting has proven to be more
durable than any other covering extant. 1t is
strongly patented and any use of the word
"Asbestos' In connection with any other felt
ing IL an infringement. 1t contains the best non
conducting. and fre-proof ingredients known
TO science. Asbestos is q mineral long known
to chemistry ~ non infamable and the most
positive retainer of heat in nature. Our pro-
cess consists in SO preparing Asbestos with
other fbrous and glutinous matter as to form
. strong, elastic adhesive and indestructible
covering for steam pipes and boilers. which
we have fully demonstrated is pre-eminently
superior to any other covering now in use. II
b Tess expensive than Hair Felting and can
be,spplied at any time while the boilers are in
use. One covering VIII last In perfect order
Is long Is the boilers or pipes. By absolute
test
1T IS KNOWN TO SAVE Is TO so PER
CENT. IN FUEL.
II IL non-inhamable. indestructible and
perfect non conductor of heat and cold. Its
nsxibdlity causes II to contract and expand
with the iron surface, thus preventing 1t
from crscking As 1t absorbs no moisture
and excludes the atmosphere the surface of
boiler or pipe cannot corrode. It is applied
In plastic state upon . hot surface with
facility and In . few hours becomes dry,
light, elastic and tenaciously adhesive. It
contains no lime or other corroding substance
We challenge the world to produce covering
to compete with ours in durability and saving
Of fuel. We possess the sole knowledge and
proprietorship Of this process, and would
caution all parties against worthless limitations
Of our Asbestos Nom Conductor, our unprece-
dsnted success having started several worth
less limitations Of II into existence protesting
to contain Asbestos. Superintendents and
engineers are invited to examine the material
and work at the Savage Mining Company.

JoBBING IN DELAWARE SHIP TIMBER
Mondays Baltimore Gazette contained the
following special from Washington:
"George P. Fisher, ex-United States Dis
triet Attorney, says that some time ago he
called at the Navy Department to see if he
could not sell large lot of ship timber in
Delaware to the department, and was in
formed that there was a large supply on
hand, and no purchases would be necessary
for years. A few weeks after this a party
went to the place where the timber was
stored, and purchased it for a low figure,
and then secured contract from the Navy
Department on an order to purchase the
lot at almost twice the price it could have
been purchased by the department. The
contractor is Orville Grant, brother of the
President"

THE JEws-HARPING CHIcKENs.-The Phil
odelphia Bullet1a says: A Wilmington paper
explains new pastime that is coming into
fashion. A grain of corn is fixed upon a
straw and thrown to chicken, which swal-
lows the corn. The straw projects from its
mouth, and the fun is. found in watching
the chicken striking at his bill in an effort
to remove the straw. They call it "jews-
harping.n 1t is noble sport for men to en-
cage in. After while we shall have jews
Rarping matches, with champions "
travelling over the country winning bets
and medals upon the strength of their SUI
perior skill in inducing active movements
in the chickens. And maybe we shall be
entertained by grand centennial jews
harping match " in the Park during the
Exhibition. 1t is not much more brutal,
after all, than the igeon-shooting which is
recorded in the papers almost daily, and
which has conferred very shabby honors
upon some of the gunners who make-it their
profession.
