InYe.tions Wanted to Utilize Sawdust

The mill owners of Minneapolis are
greatly perplexed by the volumes OF
sawdust they produce, and not little
alarmed at threatened law forbid
ding the present disposition of such
waste by dumping it into the river.
It is calculated that the sawdust from
the summer cut of logs converted into
boards at that place amounts to some
thing like 100000 cords-enough to
furnish constant work for $50 teams
to cart away. The millers say they
cannot afford so heavy burden of
expense, and the river communities
can as i'll afford to have the river
spoiled by the rapidly accumulating
refuse Even the steam mills are un-
able to burn all their waste, and the
owners of them would no doubt gladly
unite with their water using neigh
bors in turning over the surplus saw
dust gratis to whoever would agree to
cart it away. Three hundred thou
sand cords a year Of good fuel is GER
tainly worth an effort to save, and this
is the product Of but one locality.
Who will invent an economical
mode of making sawdust marketable?
And who will devise new applications
for such materials? Most likely there
are hundreds of easy ways in which
such materials, now a burden, could
be turned to profit if our inventors
would only take the trouble to think
Of them and work up their practical
Such simple devices for
waste products are, often the
sources of large profits Scientific

Of Australia Similar curiosities have
recently been found in Nevada which

Immediately begin travelling toward a

up in bunch, like lot of eggs in a
nest. A single stone, removed to a
distance Of three and half feet, upon
being released, at once started of,with
wonderful, and somewhat comical, ce-
lerity, to join it's fellows; taken away
four or five feet, it remained motion
less. They are found in region that
is comparatively level, and is nothing
but bare rock. Scattered over this
barren region are little basins, from
few feet to rod in diameter; and it
is in the bottom of these that the roll
ing stones are found. They are from
the size of a pea to five or six inches
in diameter. The cause Of their roll
ing together is doubtless to be found
in the material of which they are
composed, which appears to be lode

THE STANDARD.
Examiner and ChronicIe.1-
More Conscience in Little Things,


A woman Of whom we have heard
employed painter to paint a new
house she had Just built He was a
member of a Christian church, active
in the prayer-meeting and in church
work, and apparently man Of exem-
plary piety. His work was seemingly
well done, but it was afterwards dis
covered that he had sighted his work
in places where he thought the neg
lect would not be noticed. His en-
ployer afterwards remarked: Il have
discounted that mans piety and
prayers ever since. [ prefer Chris
tians who will fill up the nail-holes
with putty, and paint the tops Of the
doors in the upper story"
1t has often seemed to us that this
man was not an exceptional case.
How many professed Christians fail
to realize that piety has a connection
with paint and putty-that the little
things Of life are the truest, as they
are the severest, tests of Christian
character. An employe who would
not steal a cent from his employers
till does not scruple to steal the time
his employer has paid for. A servant
who is scrupulously honest in other
things will waste the fuel and of her
mistress without dreaming that she is
dishonest. Any one who has to en-
ploy others to do work for him knows
how rare it is to find man or woman
who is conscientious about small
things, who never "scamps" his work,
and never wastes his employers time
Or stock. It must be owned, too, that
employers are not as careful to respect
the rights Of servants as they ought
to be.
The cultivation Of a greater con-
scientiousness with regard to the lit
tie things Of everyday life, which are
commonly considered to have no bear
ing on piety, is one of the almost uni
versal needs, even among Christian
people. The painter Opie replied to
a query as to how he mixed his colors,
with brains, SIR The be;t type of
Christian character must be that Of
man who mixes his daily work with
conscience, and strives to do every
thing. even the most insignifcant as
unto the Lord. Until this shall be The
standard Of everyday Christian living,
there must be great deal done in the
way of ''discounting" piety and pray
ers.

During 1878, the Onondaga Salt
Works produced, in the aggregate,
1926, 1877 bushels. Up to the middle
Of November, this year, the yield was
7,276,O62 bushels, and there is no
doubt that the production of the en-
tire year will be very near 100000
bushels, an increase of almost 2,O00,-
900 over last year, and nearly equal to
the largest yield in the history of the
trade. This year Onondaga salt brings
81 barrel Of five bushels in the
West, against 70 to so cents last year,
affording the manufacturer a fair but
by no means large profit. There is
a growing demand for salt for agri-
cultural purposes, farmers having be-
come convinced that as a fertilizer it
is of great merit. In order to increase
this demand, and to place the article
in position where it can compete
with other composts, it has been sug-
gested that the duty on this grade of
salt, which is 80 cents per ton, be tax
en- off. It is thought that if this were
done an immense trade in this branch
of the business would result.
During recent years the cost OF pro-
ducing salt has been materially reduc-
ed by burning pea or dust coal instead
of ordinary lump coal. The coal dust
is obtained at the mines comparative
ly free Of cost, for it is mere refuse,
and the larger share of the expense to
the manufacturer is the transporta-
tion from the mines to the works.
This coal dust is burned under a
strong artificial draught furnished by
blowers worked by small steam en-
gines. It is now clearly demonstrated
that salt can be produced at these
works at so low cost as successfully
to meet home competition. No inge-
nuity, it is claimed can reduce the cost
Of production low enough to compete
with. foreign manufacturers as long as
the article comes over as ballast, al
most duty free.-[Scientific American.
