How the Fumes of a Charcoal Fur mace are Utilized at ELK Rapids, Michigan.

How the Fumes of a Charcoal Fur
 mace are Utilized at ELK Rapids,
 Michigan.
 The old saying that nothing is wasted or lost in nature is true in regard to the smoke from the furnace of Elk Rapids, Mich. In this furnace are manufactured fifty tons of charcoal per day. There are twenty-five charcoal pits, constructed of brick. Each pit is filled with 100 cords of hard wood and then fred The vast amount of smoke from these pits which was formerly lost in the air, is now utilized. Works have been erected to convert the smoke into chemical and acid These works are a curiosity. First,
 they have a circular tube, made of wood, with pine slaves, sixteen feet ln length, bound together with heavy iron hoops. This tube is placed directly over the pits in horizon
 tai position, with an opening from each pit
 into the tube At the end nearest the build
 ing there is a large drum containing rotary
 fan, propelled by machinery, the power of which is gas. That acts as @ suction or draft for the smoke, which is conveyed into fire stills filled with copper pipe two and one half inches in diameter. The boxes in which tho pipes are situated are twenty feet square, eight feet deep, made of heavy pine and filled with cold water; they are all connected by ! copper pipes; they are connected with the main still, 100 feet in length, ten feet wide ! and eight feet deep, filed with copper pipes, | two and one half inches in diameter, in hori zontal position, surrounded by cold water | from this conveyed to purifier, from whicf
 runs what is called pyroligneous acid, whict ! is as clear as amber, with an unpleasant | odor.
 1 From the acid is produced, first, acetate | of lime; second, alcohol; third, tar; fourth | gas; which is consumed under the boiler l Each cord of wood contains 26,000 cubic feet of smoke; 2,S00, 900 feet of smoke, han dled every twenty-four hours, producing 12, | 900 pounds of acetate of lime, 200 gallons O 1 alcohol and twenty-five pounds of tar. Thes' Il products have 8 commercial value in tht | manufacture of various articles. The smok' | from 40, 900 cords of wood consumed per an | nun is thus made source of much profit, a i the works are automatic and require n' ! workmen to run them.

 The question as to the habitability of the planets has lately been discussed with much ability by Professor Mcfarland His con clusions are that the four large outer planets have not sufficiently cooled down to allow life on their surface such as is seen on the earth; that Mars gives all telescopic and ! spectroscopic probabilities of conditions com 1 patible with life as we see it; that the earth, certainly for millions of years, has been cov- I cred with multifarious life; that in respect \ to Venus and Mercury no certain evidence or knowledge presents itself; and that the sat- elites are manifestly not fitted for such life as the earth exhibits-the moon, in particu- lar, having no water and no atmosphere. Colorado papers say that wholesale sys- tenn of stealing mine machinery is practiced | in that State The owner of one mine at I Leadville says he has lost by theft three hoisting plants within the last two years. In almost every instance where operations on a mine have been temporarily suspended, when the owners or their agents visit the property to resume work they find their ma I chinery dismantled, every movable piece missing, and they are fortunate if they find any covering to their plant Numerous in stances can be cited where entire shaft houses have been dismantled, every detachable piece removed from the engine, and the wrecked valuable machinery left exposed to the elements.

more steady and healthy spiritual life
we would be able TO dispense with the
somewhat, if not altogether, carnal method
of raising money for church necessities.
Liberality and spirituality are closely al
lied, and when money can only be come
at by an appeal TO the base necessities

things" it is an almost certain sign that
the life of the church is at very low ebb.
If we are to have week of prayer, better,
in our judgment, call halt to the week
of fair. Or, if the church fair and festi-
walls, the broom drill and the concert,
the evening of entertainment by reader
and elocutionist must be resorted to, that
there may be "meat" or money in the
Lords house, then, by all that is spiritual,
let it be removed as far hence from the

men have dared to apply religion to his

man has many noble qualities, including
an innate love Of justice that makes him,
almost by nature, the friend of the

Attitude OF the Industrial Glasses.

But matter of even greater concern
was the attitude of the industrial and la
boring classes to religion. Their attitude
was surely one of the gravest of all re-
proaches to the churches of England, the
most significant example of misunder-
stood duties and neglected responsible
ties. Christianity was born in poverty {;
its sympathies were with the poor. The
change that worked in the world was &C.
complished from below, through the ele-
walton of the masses, not by the action of
kings. But what marks the religion of
our day is the loss of the masses. Their
arrangement he considered to be more
general, and, would add, more deplorable,
than that of the cultivated, for the
churches are more directly responsible for
it. The Church of Rome, at least, in
England, holds its poor; and the Metho-
dists have in certain districts and among
certain classes achieved wonders. But,
taken throughout, the English working
man has too largely ceased to be a reli-
gious person in the Christian sense. He

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in the equality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless but undesira-
BILE, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-iitting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case AN. y MARY
which saves the WASTE of need 3 D
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.
