New Use for salt.
Cincinnati Sun.

Cincinnati Sun.
''What do you think Of that scheme?'
asked the proprietor of a planing-mill af-
ter showing reporter around his prem
ises.
"Think it's immense. But it will be
practically effeCtive?'
The scheme in question consisted in q
new, novel, and rapid method Of season.
ing lumber by the use OfcOmmOn salt.
The model Of the proposed new drier
was built In the shape Of an ordinary
barn or shed, with double walls, the out
side being built of brick and the inside
of common One-Quarter inch sheathing
The distance between the inner and out
er walls was about fifteen inches. and
the space between the two was filed up
with common salt. It is notorious that
salt crystals are great absorbents of
moisture, and that is about the only
thing in the new process of drying lum-
Der. If it becomes practically successful
it is bound to revOlutiOniZe the mill
trade. The lumber is simply stacked in
the building and the only thing neceE-
sary is to watch the salt.
Gas soon as the first lot is thoroughly
dampened 1t is run off by spOuts, and
a new lot of dry materials is run In from
the roof, and the same process is dupli-
Gated until the moisture or sap in the
lumber is thoroughly extracted"
evil it Work?' was asked.
$50 far as have experimental 1t beats
anything I ever saw. 1t doesn't warp
the lumber as the hot-air process does,
and is very cheap to run"
"What do you do with wet salt?"
''Run it through furnace, dry it, and
use it again. Oh, it's big scheme, and
will knock out all the builders who have
been making fortunes in putting up ex-
pensive drieTs for furniture and mill
men,"

Our Ds5onoeless Sea Coast.

Harrer's Magazine.
Our extended sea. coast, except where
adequately protected by the art of the
military engineer, is everywhere vulner-
able.
Let US for the moment regard the
question whether its defense should be
made adequate, if not already so, as a
mere question Of dollars and cents. Is
it wise, then, in a business sense, for
each Of us to pay q premium, say Of
twenty cents a year for six or seven
years, to permanently insure ourselves
against such a calamity as the destruction
or holding to ransom Of one or more of
our sea-bOard cities, or to prevent the
hostile occupation Of the Mississippi
river, and the possible plumber Of tie
towns upon its banks2
Sufficient answer to this may be found
in the recollection that the loss at the
Chicago IRE was estimated at $500 Co.,
600, the losses of insurance companies
alone amounting to nearly $97 100000;
while the losses at the Boston fire TX
Ceeded $50 GOO OGG, the insurance losses
being nearly SIS. 600 Geo. In both these
cases. notably in the latter, by no means
all of the city was consumed. Or view
the matter in another light. The cen
sus of 1880 gives the assessed value of
the property exposed to destruction or
contribution in the ports Of Portland,
Portsmouth, Boston, Newport, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Or
leans, and San FranCiscO at, in round
numbers, thirty-three hundred and
twenty-five million Of dollars.
But this estimate does not In all cases,
notably at New Orleans, include the
neigh boring country at the mercy Of q
power holding the specified harbOr, nor
does it allow for the great growth Of the
last five years. Again, the assessed value
is almost invariably below the actual
value. Though it is therefore certain
that the valuation given above Is much
too low, yet for the purposes Of argument
let as assume 1t TO be correct.
Now (disregarding the small fractions
Of absolute accuracy throughout this
paragraph II Is estimated that siEty-one

expenditure would necessarily be dis

the work could not Be completed IN less

The striking mill operatives, at ManChes-

per cent reduction in their wages, with e
further reduction three months hence if

The Story of a Female Tramp Who Would
Sleep with Her Dogs.

. n
Sleep with Her Dogs.
Leominster, Mass, October I7.-Yes-
terday a wandering female with five dogs
as her only com aniOns, was granted
lodging at the town farm. These she
refused because her brutes could not re-
main with her, and insisted on sleeping
on the floor Of the carriage house. She
proved to be the same woman who, two
days ago, was found wandering in the
woods at Bolton, where she was taken
into custody and locked in a cell but she
pleaded SIS piteOusly that her dogs be
not taken from her that her prayer was
needed, and the five CANNES occupied
her cell with her. This strange creature
gave the name Of Jane WhitcOmb, and
claimed to be a native Of the town of
Bolton. She stated that she is on her
way TO North Adams, and proposes to
earn her living en- route by selling salve,
precious stones, etc. Opening g bundle
she said: This is my wedding dress. I
always carry II with me wherever 1 co.
And as she spoke her eyes were suhused
with tears, as there came for q moment
into her disorder6d mind a lucid inter
val. She told an incOhereut story of her
past and alluded to e tragedy which
occurred some years since in ReadsbOrO,
Vt. She asserted that the one whom
she was 70 nave welded was shot down
while standing by her side; that the as
sassin fred the bullet from the outside;
that it came crashing through the win
dow pane, and that after the victim fell
his murderers took his body from the
house and mutileted it. She stated
furthermore that those who killed the
man she loved lived in North Adams,
and that they sought her life, to protect
which she was afraid 20 venture from
her place of abode after dark. No one
could be found who knew the particu-
lars Ofths alleged murder, but a distant
connection Of the strange woman has
been found, who says that there was,
years ago, q tragedy in the section Of
which Jane WhitcOmb spoke. The WO-
man was allowed TO depart, and with
her five brute friends started on the
tramp TO North Adams and the scene Of
the tragedy, which years ago had wreck
ed her life.
