New YORK. October 31.-The Posts New
ark special says: The cashier Of the Me-
chanics National Bank yesterday told the
directors that the bank was unable to pay Its
debts. They offered to subscribe half a mil
lion dollars, but he said two millions would
not do it, and they decided TO suspend. 2
last statement showed deposits Of $2,417,OOO.
Jas. A. Halsey is President and Oscar l..
Baldwin cashier and manager. Baldwin is
considered responsible for the trouble. The
news was a thunderclap. The institution
was deemed the strongest in the city and its
officers the most trustworthy, while Baldwin
stood high as q dnancier. He has been ar
rested as an embezzler, and 9 government
examiner sent for. The New York banking
connection loose nothing, having refused all
risk when Baldwin withdrew his eollaterals.
Nugent & Co., who are involved with the
bank, have suspended, and other failures are
anticipated. It is alleged that the only re-
sources of the bank is the building, worth
R5. 900. The warrant for the arrest Of Bald

with closed doors, and there are the widest
rumors aloat. Nobody but the cashier is
suspected. lie hsd the unlimited confidence
Of the board. The confession was made be-
cause he feared q visit from the Bank Em-
aniner The city and county lose about
$40, 900 each Of deposits, The Water Board
$37, 900, and manufacturing companies
emaller amounts. 1t IS not yet known where
the money has gone, but It is alleged that the
Wall street speculations of Baldwin has alb
sorbed it all. It appears that Baldwin got
away with everything but the safe which is
a very heavy one. The Bank held all the de-
posts of the old Mutual Life Company,
amounting to from 100000 to 81 400 900. It
ID believed that not q penny Of this amount
was saved.

a New Invention Whereby Number l.
Made o. Paper.

The Northwestern Luu25egnodn says there
can be no question that the straw lumber is
admirably adapted to many kinds of finish
ing work, barrels, tables and counter tops,
fine doors and ornamental work, and we are
assured that il can be produced and sold ia
competition with the finer grades DC pine, or
in competition with wide walnut, at about
one half of the price Of the latter. The stand
ard manufacture is in widths Of thirty-tWo
inches, 3 length Of twelve feet, and q thick
ness corresponding witt that OF surface
boards. These dimensions may be varied to
suit such orders as may be given, and en-
brace any length, width Or thickness. I'm
like lumber, however, narrower widths are
The most costly. The straw lumber may be
ripped with the hand-saw, buz-saw may be
run through the sticker for the manufacture
of molding, and takes g nail or screw about
ae we'll as oak, It may be finished With
7arnish or paint, and is susceptible of a high
polish. Tt is water and practically tire
proof, being manufactured under 800 de-
prees OF heat, and we are assured has been
boiled for some hours without any apparent
change Of structure. It's tensible strength IS
greater thar that Of walnut or oak, and its
weight is about one-hfth greater than the
former when dry. It is made OF any KIND OF
straw, including hemp and fax fber-in fact
from any material that will make puip-and
8 ton Of straw will produce !, 900 feet Of
boards. The pulp is rolled into thin sheets
a number Of which, corresponding with the
thickness of the lumber desired, are placed
together with a peculiar cement, which is
claimed to be waterproof, and then rolled
under a pressure sufficient to amalgamate
them into q solid mass which may be worked
with o plane If desired.
When II il remembered that it takes one
hundred years to grow a tree TO maturity
su;ting it for commercial purposes, and Q
tree producing thirty-two inch lumber will
require twice that time, while 200, 600 feet
per acre is q large yield under the most IA
vorable circumstances, it will at once De
realized that where 5000 feet can be taken
from an acre of ground for an indefinite
number Of years the process which enables
such 8 result to be accomplished, and which
yield a really valuable lumber is one Of vast
importance. We look for valuable results
in the future manufacture of lumber from
what is practically q waste material, but
which will be produced in endless quantity
40 long as the United States maintains its
character as grain producing country.

G. G. Gilman, Of this place, has invented

wrought as il wood, with eight edged tools,

A voLUAnNoUs report on trichinR compiled
bv Surgeon Glazer, of the marine hospital
service, states that nearly all animals may be
infected with trichina; but the heretofore COM
monty received opinion that these parasites
were originally found in rats is untenable, al
though they may be reproduced in any animal
feeding upon the flesh of other trichinosed ami
mails, of whatever Species and the circle of in
lection is thus believed to be kept up There is
not much ground for the supposition that hogs
are infected from kitchen slops, as there is
nothing essentially different in them from the
food eaten by the family. Hogs kept in stalls
in which trichinosed hogs have been kept will
become infected. The only means of proven
tion of disease among the swine are: First
That the stalls or pens be kept scrupulously
clean. Second, Tho swine must have good,

Washing Away the Earth.

No particle of sand which goes down
into the sea ever comes back. Yet the
particles leave the surface of the earth
every second and are carried, suspended
in the waters of more than twenty
thousand rivers, out into the oceans.
There are more than hundred streams,
classed on the maps as rivers, in Louis
lana alone. Each one of these has
several hundred creeks, brooks and
spring branches tributary to it. Each
brook or spring branch, with its count
lessrivulets, clasps the hillsides and drags
down the surfaces thereof-down into the
brooks--down into the creeks-downin into
the rivers-down into the ocean. And
there the atoms rest patiently; each
atom waiting for its sisters and its
cousins and its aunts still lingering in
the fields and On the hills, yet creeping
toward the gullies and thence to the
sea. This process has been going on
since the time when " the world was
without form and void;" whereby the
primeval rocks were disintegrated and
spread abroad in fertile fields; whereby
the fertile fields are slowly being washed
back into the oceans; whereby the bot
tom Of the oceans is being prepared to be
elevated again to the light and to form
other fields wherein cotton and wheat
or something or other will grow. This
is the very apotheosis of "demnition
grind." He who originated that phrase
spoke more scientifically than he knew
Life, animate and inanimate, is simply
d grinding down of the higher parts and
he distribution thereof in the hollows.
The final outcome of earth, after millions
of years, must be something in the
nature of large billiard ball whirling
through the sky, with nothing in the
world ON it except a smooth, dead sur
face

A Dear Chronometer.

Meanness not infrequently resembles
the
Vaulting ambition which oe'rleaps itself,
And falls on the other.
An excellent ILLUSTRATION of this " DER.
leaping" is furnished by certain trans.
action of John Jacob Aston with one OF
his captains. The story is told by a
writer in the Boston Transc, ipt:
The captain had sailed six voyages to
Chlra without chronometer, depend
ing on dead reckoning" and s'lunars;'
Just starting on his seventh voyage, he
suggested to Mr.. Astor that it would be
safer to have a chronometer.
Well, get one," said the merchant
The captain did so, and entered It's
cost In his account current. When AS
tors eyes fell upon the item he drew
his pencil through it. The captain ex-
postulated. Said Aston: 81 told you
to get one; 1 didn't say I'd pay for it. =
The captain severed his connection
with Aston then and there, and went
into Wall street, engaged with other
owners, and before night was in COM
mand of as fine a ship as ever foated in
New York's beautiful bay.
In three days she was ready for sea,
and set sail. At the same time Aston s
ship, under the command of new cap.
tain, set sail also. They had race for
Hong Kong, but the captain who, as he
used to put it, had discharged John
Jacob Astor, by keeping the men at the
braces, took advantage of every puff OF
wind and won by three days.
Then there was lively work. The
ship was loaded in the shortest time
possible, and before Astor's vessel,
which had arrived meantime, was hall
loaded, our captain weighed anchor,
and with full cargo of tea set sail for
Sandy Hook; arrived in good time; got
his ship alongside the wharf and began
hosting out his cargo, which was sold
by auction on the spot.
This glutted the market, for the
consumption was comparatively small
in those days, and when Astor's ship
came IN prices had fallen.
Two days later, as the captain was
sauntering down Broadway, he met his
former employer.
Chow much did dat chronometer
cost you p asked the latter.
"Six hundred dollars"
"Vell," said Astor, dat vas sheap.
1t cost me sixty tousand dollarsl"
The merchant and the captain have
long since paid the reckoning, but that
chronometer is still a good timekeeper
and treasured relic as we'll.
