MAKING CRR0SOTK.
Sources and Uses of an Important
 Chemical Product.

Sources and Uses of an Importan1 Chemical Product. From the New York Mail and Express.J Creosote is general name applied to the products obtained from the destructive dis. tillation of wood, coal and other carbona- ceous fuels after the temperature has risen above two hundred degrees Fahrenheit The oil thus obtained is termed creosote oil and is an excellent preservative of wood. The philosophy of it's antiseptic and preser- vative qualities is simple. The oil chokee up the pores of the wood, making it solid and preventing the further entrance of air, moisture or life. No germinal life can exist in wood thoroughly creosoted. The oil con. tains insoluble tar acids, not only antiseptic in their nature, but also possesses power of coagulating the albuminous or fermenting clements of green, ssppy or unseasoned wood.
 Heavily resined, fatty pine wood. subject ed to g heat of three hundred to seven hun dred and sixty degrees Fahrenheit, within closed iron cylinders, yields by distillation and condensation an excellent wood creosote oil suitable for the preservation of wood. When this oil is analysed it is found to con- tain about five per cent. of tar acids, about fifteen per cent. of the lighter oils and at least eighty per cent. of the heavier pills, in- soluble in either fresh, brackish or salt wa4 
 timber is mainly due to those creosote oils which require over four hundred degrees Fahrenheit for their volatilization, and that the pure creosote, with less tar acids, and with legs light oils, gives the best results. Creosote oil is forced into the wood by means of hydraulic pressure. The improve ments made upon the old charring process are very great. There is carbonized pro- cess which takes ordinary open grained pine timber and subjects 1t to dry, radiant heat, within suitable cylindrical surfaces, in such . manner as to drive out of the timber most of its sap and slbuminous matter, drying the outside and leaving the pores wide open and in condition to be completely filled with the oil.
 This process does not render the timber brittle. Sawed lumber only requires eight pounds of the oil per cubic foot. In logs used for piling twelve pounds of creosote oil per cubic foot is all that is necessary for It's preservation. During the manufacture of creosote oil g pyrolgneous acid is condensed in this still The acid in it's crude and undi- luted state is an excellent disinfectant. The progress made in creosoting timber within the past few years has been so great it would be unsafe to predictto what extent it will be carried. Wood will be made more lasting than huil6iucr

BOARD OF HEALTH.

OmeIa1 Efforts To Prevent the
 Spread or Contagious Diseases.
 The board of health met last night and passed several orders for the abatement ot nuisanees. The clerk reported that another complaint had been made that Brewer Vie bel let water run from his brewery on tc property on Vine street occupied by Mir. Maine The matter was put into the city at torney's hands.
 Health Officer Williston said that some time ago his attention was called bya town physician to case of diphtheria in crowd ed tenement house on York street. A child died of the disease and three others were talk en i'll. In the house were several families. Dr. WilIiston detailed his efforts in this case to prevent the spread of the contagion and the difficulties he encountered.
 He went there the night of the death and found the house full of people getting ready to hold wake. .He ejected all outsiders and told them that if they returned they would all be arrested. Tho second child died. One of the others will probably recover, but the fourth is likely to die. If this had been an uncontaQious disease the child could have been removed to the hospital, but as disease was contagious the hospital would not re- ceive the child. The only other remedy was to remove the child to the pest house. The health officer said that had there been place to have taken the child when hTst taken down that several lives would have been saved. He would like the board to give him some advice in the matter.
 Prof. Brewer said that the board Was not yet strong enough to undertake such q mat ter. The time will come when there will have to be hospital for persons when taken down with contagious diseases. At present things will have to remain as they are
 The health officer reported that he had had several hundred postal cards printed which will be sent 10 physicians for them to raTors fo the board every conteeious disease aa epor ag 1t breaks out. This is in accor- dar,ce with tho now health law, so that the board can take immediate steps as soon as a case is reported to prevent its spreading.

The reflections of them from the nipples and from the shining passwords of tugboats were beautiful.

 Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Gillette and her daughter Mrs. Minor, of I23 Columbus ave- nue, were driving in an open phaeton through Broadway. At the further end of the little green men employed by the tele- phone company were attaching wire to the top of pole. The end of this wire was dangling over the road, and, az the ladies drove by, it struck their horse on the head, making him start violently forward. Before the ladies could control him another wire, stretched slackly across the street, caught both by the neck and threw them out of the carriage backward to the ground. Both were frightfully mangied, and Mrs. Gillette's in juries are thought to be serious. They were taken into Beers' Broadway pharmacy and Dr. Russell was summoned. The ladies when first thrown from the phaeton went into distressing convulsions, and spectators thought they were surely killed.
