Can the Truth Overtake q Liz.

Investigation discloses the fact that the
lady reported in the Associated Press dis
patches, about Aug. 10th, to have dled IN
Chicago after two weeks use OF some re-
puted remedy for corpulency, had not
taken Allans Anti-Fat. but had used a
preparation put up by a regular physician
tn Iuzerne, Pa Allan's AnttFat 1s man
ufactured In Buffalo. N. Y, by the under-
signed. We have already sold over 1OO,-
O00 bottles of it. 1t has therefore been
taken by thousands, and we challenge
proof that 1t has ever harmed any body,
unless the reduction of obese persons from
20 tr 10 pounds, leaving them healthy and
stl ong. is considered q misfortune. Fur
thermore, we hereby offer $500 reward for
evidence showing that 1t contains poison
ous or Injurious Ingredients. We also offer
SIS 900 If we cannot prove that 1t has,reduced
number of persons as stated herein. and
always without injury. d is said lie Will
outtravel the truth any time, but we trust
that those newspapers.that have misled
the public by saying that physicians at
tribnted the lady's death to the use OF
Anti fat (Which 1s only put up by us. the
term "Apti-Fat'. being our trade-mark),
will correct the false impression they have
conveyed, bv publishing this refutatlon'

color. This ID then placedin moulds whose
size aud shape accord with the sarticle to be
produced. These moulds are of wood, for
hitching posts, window caps, window silis,
door-sills, &C., but for draining pipes are Of
cast iron: The substance when placed IN
the moulds is in q soft condition and under
goes thorough packing. Itis then removed
and is ready for the harding process. This
Is simple. The articles are placed in an sir
tight chamber, ten feet square and the car
bonic acid gas which was once forced out of
the cement to make It soft for grinding Is
now introduced to harden 1t again. The gas
Is generated by burning charcoal In com
mon coal stove, and In passing INTO tne
chamber, first goes through cool water 70
reduce the temperature, as 1t would DINER
wise injure the cement. This gas Is so rap
idly absolved as to keep up draft from the
stove to the chamber and for as long as the
absorption goes on the stone continues 70
harden. After being submitted to this pro-
cess tor two or threee days the articles are
immersed in tank of water Immediately
under the floor of the apartment where they
harden and the oxygen which they absorb
from the water toughens and makes them
harder. They are then ready for all uses
that they are intended for.
This stoneis being manufactured and used
quite extensively in the Eastern aed Middle
States, also at Chester, Pa. The uses it is
put to, is for building houses, window caps,
window sills, door sills, door steps, also for
paving blocks. As it can be moulded into any
desired shape andbe made much cheaper than
stone could be cut from the natural rock

ARTIFICIAL STONE.
A NEW INDUSTRY BEING INTRODUCED IN
wILMINGToN-AN INTERESTING PROCESS
IN WHICH NATURE REPEATS ITSELF.

A new industry has lately sprung up in
this country that bids fair to become very
valuable and wide spread in short time. 1t
is the manufacture of stone and Is now being
introduced in Wilmington by the patentee,
Mr.. George Richardson who is stopping at
the Clayton House. This beng new and
important addition to our manufactures, q
brief account of the manner In which the ar.
ticle is made, the uses it Is put to and the
merits it possess, may not be uninterestiDg
to our readers.
The secret of the whole thing lays in the
harding power of carboDc acid gas which is
in cement rock and lime stone, aBd by the
process nature is made to do her own handi-
work over again, that has a matter of neces-
sity been undone IN preparing for use one of
the substances of which the stone is made.
We will try to explain to our readers this
process, which to say the least is interesting.
The two ingredients contained are sand
and cement. The sand used is that which
is found along the Delaware, and that
which is being used in Chester comes from
Pennsgrove. = he cement used Is the ordi-
hydraulic cement and the two are m ixed to-
gether.
The secret of the plan lies here, and when
people comprehend 1t and see how it is that
nature does all the work can scarcely help
remarking that it ia simple yet surprising
The cement rock is submitted to the process
of burning in order to expel the carbonic
acid gas which puts it in condition for
grinding, after which 1t is ready for use.--
The success of manufacturing the stone lies
in this gas as will be seen further on. The
sand and cement on being mixed in fixed
proportions for mortar of q dark gray

The farmers have no reason to grumble at
the crops, and as the agricultural products of
the country are an important element in
determining whether or not a season of H.
tional prosperity shall return, We should re-
jOce with the farmers. The yield of wheat,
oats, hay, rye and barley is already deter
mined and is in some respects unpreceden.edly
large. Reports from Ohio, Kentucky, H.
diana, Minnesota and other wheat growing
states show that not only have more acres
than ever before been devoted to this purpose
but that, also, there will De a larger average
weld per acre than in any previous year. Ii
he hot weather has had no other good effects,
Il has developed the corn crop wonderfully and
an abundant harvest may be expected. Next
autumn, after the repeal of the bankrupt law
has gone into effect, when specie payments
have been practically resumed and the event
has lost its bugbear properties, When there
will be an increasing foreign demand for all
our products, owing 10 the fact that for a time
a large part OF Europe has ceased to produce
and the crops have failed, we may expect to
enter, with cheap food and comparatively free
from financial embarrassments, upon the bet
ter times for which We all hope.

1t is said that among the mines of PennSyl-
yanta, there has been serious accident for
every day in the year. They are, however
mostly due TO carelessness, and the dangers
run by the Pennsylvania miner are insi gnif-
can't compared with those which his English
-ethren must face. The best mines in Eng
nd have been carried to such depth, lat
at IS known as the dangerous zone has
N reached, and the miner is in constant
Ill Of gas explosions, the number of which
; alarmingly increased, with Slight chance
escape in such event. What with the in
.~eased dangers of the mining, aud the adii-
t.onal expense made necessary by the depth
of the mines, obstacles are presented to the
British coal trade which will ultimately make
the product of our mines an important article
OF export.

The explanation made yesterday in the
House Of Lords by Lord BeacOnsfield concern
ing the policy pursued by the British repre-
SentatiVeS in the Berlin congress was followed
by discussion between the opposition and
the supporters OF the government, resulting in
scene OF great excitement. Lord Derby de-
clared that he left the cabinet because he dis
Sented from the decision to seize a naval sta
nOn in the eastern Mediterranean. cOnsi sting
OF Cyprus aud point on the mainland by a
secret expedition from India, without the con-
sent of the Sultan. This statement in regard
to secret expedition was pronounced untrue
by Lord Salisbury, and, when called to order
he modified his denial of the correct
ness of Lord Derby'S statement only in
the manner in which it was wOrded. AS may
be imagined, a lively alteration enSued, 1t
seems from this debate that the cause of Lord
Derby'S retirement from the cabinet to which
he has mySteTiOuSly referred on more than
one occasion, was his impression that the for
chile seizure of Cyprus was to be attempted.
The whole scene in the House of Lords with
It's brilliant assemblage, the speakers, and the
occasion, is subject worthy to be treated by
him on whom the mantle of Macaulay has
fallen. Without war the ancient imperial
grandeur of the British empire has been re-
stored, her terri tory enlarged, and her
place assured among the foremost of
nations. The man to whom this result is main
ly due is welcomed home from Berlin with all
the fruits of military victory without having
undergone its burdens and expenses. The
yigOr OF BeacOnsield and the favOring condi-
tiOn of continental Europe have enabled Eng
land to carry off the lions share of glory and
spoils in the difficulties among the powers.
France was occupied with her exposition, Ger
many was uneasy by reason of domestic
troubles with the socialists. and Russia was
exhausted. England has, however, tempered
her bOldneSs with prudence in taking adyant-

1t is rather too warm here in Washington to
pay much attention to the heat in other C ties,
but II must not pass unnOticed that Chicago
which had been revealing in comparative coil
ness and chronicling with equanimity the re-
auctions in population of rival city, came to
grief on Tuesday and Wednesday. The
weather WGS hot enough to suit the most faS-
tidiOus special case who ever yearned for a
warm climate. Thirty one fatal cases of sun
stroke were reported. 1t is evident that the
whole Mississippi valley feels the intense
heat, though st. Louis hemmed in by hills
built on limestone and with its houses of red
brick, suffers most 1t is not the height to
which the thermometer has risen, that has
marked the relative disastrous effects of the
heat in different cities. A peculiar quality i'm
the heat itself, through which people sitting in
comfortable houses have been stricken down.
seems TO have caused this remarkable NOR
tally In spite of the safeguards against SIM
liar calamities furnished this city by its situa-
ton and the nature OF its streets and build
ings, the painful duty of recording severe
cases of prOstTatiOn from heat has not been
spared the Washington press. But Nd deaths
from this cause are yet known, and 1t is to be
hoped that the predicted cold wave will reach
US before the occurrence of any fatal cases.

The statement that many Illinois and Indi
ana farmers are unable to obtain harvesters
though paying from 3 to 8 - per ~, if true,
should destroy the last atom of sympathy for
the marauding gangs OF trampS which are in
testing those states. They travel by fifCies
and hundreds, begging, stealing, taking pos
session OF railway trains, burning labOr-sav
ing machinery and other property, doing every
thing, in short, but going II work as harvest
erS. These bands are organized, dangerous
and lawleSs, and become worse the more they
are let alone. The authorities of one town
severely and appropriately punished horde
which descended upon it, by arresting them
and putting them at work. That locality will
always be avoided by such persons, who seem
10 hate nothing so much as work, even when
well paid, and the example set might be pro-
htably followed by other towns and eli les.
The march OF these rob6ing armies must be
checked in some way.
