Captain Howgate in advocacy of the
Arctic expedition, as proposed in the
bill recently submitted to the Senate by
Dawes.
A subcommittee to-day heard the
argument of Col. Robert G. Ingersol.
He showed that the laws now in force
taxing savings banks operate unequally
in different parts of the country, and
should be repealed. In behalf of the
institutions, he held that it was unjust
to tax earnings or incomes of deposit
ors, and that if the necessities of Gov
ernment required increased revenue
from banks, let it be raised by tax on
the profits.

The waste scraps of gutta percha, so
often thrown away as useless, may be
formed into caps for bottles by dissolv-
ing them in benzole. Dissolve the gutta
percha in benzole over gentle heat till
a moderate thick fluid is formed, and
then add vermillion or other coloring
matter to suit the fancy. The corked
bottles are then dipped in the mixture,
as in making caps in hot sealing-wax.
This method in making capsules is re-
ported to give capsules that are imper-
vious to air and all ordinary liquids,
and the process has the merit of being
simple, easy and cheap. [Scribner.
