Morroeco's Only Machine Mill.

There is only one machine mill in Nor.
rocco. It belongs to an enterprising
citizen of the United States, named
Cobb. Its erection was utterly illegal.
The pcjudice against machinery among
the Moors is as strong as it used to be
among English hand-loom weavers.
Mr.. Cobb's application for the authoriza-
ton of his mill wasrejected. The Prime
Minister would not hear oft, the Sultan
absolutely forbade the new-fangled
method of grinding corn. Mr.. Cobb,
however went fright ahead" He built
his mill; he put in his machinery. Only
one finishing touch was necessary. The
grinding stones were duly delivered at
the wharf. But this gave the authori-
ties their opportunity, and they camly
impourded them. 1t was useless going
TO the Moorish Government, SO Mr.. Cobb
applied to the United States representa-
tive. He got formal reply, informing
him that. since the Prime Minister and
the Sultan had both forbidden the exc
cution Of the project, il would be idle
for him to expect any assistance from the
formal representative Of the United
States. That letter was all that was needed.
lie took il to the local authorities, who
had his grinding stones in charge, and
asked them II they could read English.
''No!" 'sThen read this" cried Captain
Cobb. There were the arms of the
United States; there was an undoubted
official signature, and Captain Cobb said
he was going straight ahead with his
mill. Nobody knew what complications
might ensue II this determined Ameri-
can was disappointed. The stones were
given up, the mill was finished. and tho
next time the Sultan came that way he
sent all his corn to be ground by ma.
chinery.-Liserp0ot Mercury.

Cod Liver OIL.

Prof. Joel, of St. Petersburg, calls
attention to the falsifcation Of cod liver
oil, by petroleum. This spurious pro-
duct bought at druggists, contained
so degrees Of mineral oil and yet showed
no suspicious signs from its outward as
pect, taste or smell. The sick person
who had been taking II had q rising in
the stomach which smelt Of petroleum.
This caused the fraud TO be suspected.
According to Prof. Joel the aduIteration
Of olive oil by petroleum is also much
practiced in Russia.

l.: ght Punishment for a Sc .ious Of
Tense.
In sentencing Engineers VIM. Krans
and George Bixby and Fireman Michael
Grofton, of the steamer Lady Grace, for
violation of the law that prohibits weight
ing or o6structing of safety valves, the
Judge read the law, and said that the de-
PENDANTS could see from the character of
the punishment provided the law recog>
nized their offense as a serious one; that
having been granted permission by the
government to follow their calling as en-
gneers they should not have violated the
law which was a wise one, and which
was intended for the protection of life
and property; they knew the dangerous
character of steam, and ia violating
the law had committed grave offense.
1t had been reported to the judge, and
he knew of it outside of his position as a
Judge, that the provisions of the law had
been repeatedly violated. Accidents dc
not always follow violations of the law,
but that was no excuse for violating it
and it was necessary for the protection o.
life and property that the provisions OF
the statute should be enforced. The
| Judge then sentenced each of the defend
ants to pay fine of SEQ and be inn
prsoned in the county jail for six month
a sentence, he said. which he coul'
have made great deal more severe, II
said, however, that owing to the previou
good character of the prisoners he woul
suspend the sentence, but if any Of ther
we're ever again brought up on smila
charge, the sentence would be carrie
out. They were then sentenced.
