Now, all the officers Of the army know of
Gen. Towards rigid temperance proclivi-
lies, and were strict in their respect for
them. Gen. Sherman knew there was no
wbiskey in Gen. Towards quarters, and
therefore did not mention his wants to Gen
Howard. Presently DR.. John Moore, the
medical director came in, and after little
conversation, Gen Sherman gave him the
wink and said, Doctor, have you q seidh;z

What did he have done?
Alcohol from Wood.

The manufacture of alcohol from wood
has become an important industry IN many
counties in Tennessee. Wood, when sub
iected to heat of from 1907 to 500, is re
solved into charcoal, pyroigneous acid and
hydrocarbon gases. The first of these
products, carbon OF charcoal, is fixed fuel.
The second of these products is pyroligneous
acid. This acid is creosote tarry com.
pounds and water. The third division OF
wood products is made up of uncoudensa5le
hydro carbon gases. These fixed gases
constitute a very valuable fuel. The pro
portions ofthese wood products are about as
original weight of the wood; pyroligneous
acid, two-quarters, and the uncondensed
gases one-quarter. To illustrate: A cord
Of fairly seasoned wood weighs, say, 1000
hounds. This cord Of wood, placed in a
charring receptacle and subjected to pro-
per temperature for, say FIVE days, entirely
disappears. In its place we have 1000
pounds OF charcoal, 200O pounds OF py-
roligneous acid, and 1000 pounds of uncon-
dersed gases. The aggregate weight Of
these products is equal exactly to the
original weight o. lne WOOu. DS Tue aSSuC1
Of heat the constituents OF the wood have
been disassociated, and the immediate re.
combination of these constituents result in
