Tho new coal tar product, saccharinc,
which is expected TO prove very useful
on account of it's sWeetening pOwcr-in
respect to which it stands to cane sugar
in the ratio of 900 to /, and with which
considerable antiseptic properties are
combined-was mentioned ut length by
Sir Sydney Roscoe in recent discourse
at the Royal Institution. This new sub
stance was described by the lecturer rs
the most remarkable of all the marvel
GUS products of the coal tar industry. 1t
is not a sugar, but contains carbon,
hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen;
aud its chemical name is benzoyl sui
phuric imidc. 1t is neither 4 nutrient
nor poison. 1t is derived from the
toiuene of coal tar, by process com
prlslng ut least seven distinct steps; the
whole contributing q triumph of syn
thetlcal chemistry. Tolucno is first heat
Sa Ga with Suiphurlc acid of 1G83 degrees
IWaddGll, but not above 100 degrees G..
After an the original tolucno has disap-
peared, the mixture is run into wooden
tanks partly filled with cold water. whcro
it is stirred up with chalk. The moss
thus neutralized is filtered through a
press; and tho calcium salts are trcatod
with sodium carbopato, with another
filtration following. The solution of the
sodium salts thus obtained is eyaporatcd
and the solid residue dried by etnom
heat This material is then mixed with
phosphorus trichloridc, and treated with
a current of chlorine. Certain rasiduals
are then driven of, and the apparatus
contains two sui phonic chlOrides-ono
solid and the other liquid. Only Elc
latter is capable of yielding saccharinc.
This is now separated, mixed with solid
ammonium carbonate, and steamed.
Aftor some further mechanical treat
ment, the liquid is oxidized by potash
um permanganato, and, finally, the pure
saccharino is precipitatod by dilute min.
eral acids. 1t has far sweotor taste
than sugar, and faint, delicate flavor of
bitter almonds.

ALL FOR LOVE.


A Maiden Becomes Speechless ImbecIls
Over the Loss Of Her Lover
SAN Francisco, March Miss
Traces H. Hranuelli, in 1879, loved and
was loved by young seaman named Her
bert Schrady, but her relatives op
posed the match, and seven years ago
Schrady sailed for . Mediterranean
port in command Of merchant sailing
vessel. The vessel was wrecked in the
straits Of Gibralter and IL was reported
to Miss Hranuelli that her lover had gone
down with the vessel. She refused to
believe II and vowed that she would never
again move her lips in speech Since
that time she has kept her vow and all the
efforts Of her friends TO induce her TO
break her voluntary silence have failed.
The publication Of her strange story
yesterday attracted the attention Of .
guest OF the Grand Hotel, who immedi-
ately called on Miss HranuelII and told
her that he knew Schrady. who Is now
man Of wealth in st. Petersburg. and
ssknowing Twas coming to San Francisco"
added the visitor, "Schrady begged me 70
ind his old sweetheart whom he still
loves"
During the recital Miss Hranuelli who
II quite pretty young woman, sat list
less, though she heard every word. The
story seemed to make no impression on
her. Her mind is evidently blank, and
II her lover comes back to claim her he
will ind instead OF the sprightly girl
he left seven years ago, hopeless imbe.

xExIA, o., March THE dry house
1t Goss' Station Powder mills exploded
this morning at ten o'clock. and created
the heaviest shock ever felt here. Houses

side Of bridge one mile away was blown
on. Christy Mccain. who Was in the
building, and Henry Franklin and Michael
Haney. transfers, who were with Z car
alongside, were all blown TO pieces, their
remains being gathered mp in buckets.
The trunk OF one Of the men was found
one hundred yards away. None Of Frank
Inns remains were found. The car-wheels
were thrown one hundred and fifty yards
away. Nothing is left Of the building but
. big hole in the ground.
Mrs. John Cromwell, in . house some
distance away, had her arm broken and
her three children were slightly hurt.
There were twenty-six tons Of powder
In the building at the time.
A warehouse near BY, with nearly dfty
tons Of powder In it, had its roof caved
In by falling timbers. A boiler that stood
alongside Of the building can not be found.
Portions Of clothing and nesh are hang
ing In tree tops.
The shock was felt sixty miles away.
The Little Miami Express train had
passed about fifteen minutes before.
Christy Mccain was nifty years old.
He leaves wife and one child.
Henry Franklin was FORTY years old,
and leaves q wife and four children.
Michael Hanly was thirty-seven years
Of age, and leaves q wife and three chill
dren, who are in Ireland.
The shock In this city resembled an
earthquake. breaking windows, and
turning things upside down.

a SERIOUS CHARGE.

MONTREAL, Can, March Am Irish
Catholic paper here charges Premier Mac
Donald with piece u outrageous politi-
cal trickery toward the Irish Catholics.
Il IL said eighteen months ago deputa-
ton Of prominent Irish Catholics waited
on him, claimed they deserved representa-
ton In the Cabinet, and asked him 70 as
sign portfolio 70 Senator O'Donough,
one Of the most prominent Irish Catho-
Hes IN Canada. Sir John said such &C.
tion would greatly dissatisfy the Orange
men, on whom he had TO depend for the
success Of the government. The deputa-
tion was obdurate, however, and threat
ened to give the entire Catholic support to
the opposition, and Sir John nnally TO save
himself from defeat, promised the place
and showed them telegram signed by
the Marquis Of Lorne, then Governor-Gen-
eral, stating that one Of the portfolios had
been assigned to Senator O'Donough. At
the next session the Senator was on
hand 70 assume the once. Sir John beg
ged the Senator not TO embarrass him,
and said Il he would wait till later he
would be taken into the cabinet. O'Don-
ough waited IN vain, till the session was
over, and then returned 20 his constitp-
ents and told them how they had been
hoaxed. The paper charges Sir John
with having forged the telegram bearing
the name Of the Marquis Of Lorne.

Mud the sunshine and showers of April
WIN gather a garland rare,
The choicest Of spring time beauties
Where winter had left so bare.
The hillsides are clad in soft verdure,
The lambs frolic gaiiy in play,
The birds make meiodicus measures,
For the Twins have happy birthday,
Twin rosebuds Just opening to beauty,
Twin hearts beating childhood's re.
frain,
Companions in 10Y or in sorrow,
Along life's wandering lane.
Though bereft Of mother's caressel
Found sisters have made their liz,
bright;
Mere children themselves--these kin,
Knew the loss that fell like blight
But God in His wisdom has led then
And guarded the babes in their care
For the pure and the good in life
journey,
The blessings of Heaven win share
Then joy to the Twins happy b irthday
With so many to love and to cheer
May the beauties Of womanhood brin
them
To lean on the cross, ever near.
