Tribute of Respect to w. II. Fiske.

ttthutc VI nespeCt 10 w. ~. FlSke-
To the w. Master, Wardens and
brethren of Equality Lodge No. "A
A. L. & A. NJ:
With sorrowing hearts and tender
memories, your committee to whom
was assigned the sad duty of draft
ing resolutions of respect for the
memory of Brother Past Master w.
H. Fiske, who has been called by our
Supreme Grand Master above; that
all wise God in whom we live, and
move and have our being, from the
labors and cares OF this life to the
peaceful rest prepared for the faith
full, in that Temple not made with
hands eternal in the Heavens, beg
leave to report the following, as fee
bly, expressing the highest esteem in
which the deceased was held by this
Lodge
Resolved, lst That recognizing the
might, majesty, power and infinite
wisdom of our Great Creator, we
meekly bow our heads to his divine
command, and strive to attune our
hearts both to say and feel "Thy will
be done, vet we can but keenly feel
the loss of so good man and Mason
as Brother Past Master w. II. Fiske.
End That in the death of Brother
Fiske this Lodge has lost one of its
brightest jewels, society conscienti-
Gus and honest member, and the
church militant brave and faithful
"Soldier Of the Cross" who, having
acted well his part on earth, has we
trust, won an immortal crown in that
bright realm beyond.
3rd That we fain would offer con-
ISOLATION to the distressed widow and
orphans of our deceased Brother, but
realizing the utter futility of all
earthly efforts to apply the balm
of Gilead" to the wounded heart we
tsarfully commend them to the care
of Him who has promised to be a
Father to the fatherless, and an ever
present help, in time of need, to the
bereaved.
4th That the Lodge be draped, and
the usual badge of mourning be worn
for 80 days.
9Th That these resolutions be re-
corded in the minutes of the Lodge,
a copy sent to the family of the de-
ceased, and the newspapers of the
town be required to publish same.

Science and Industry.

/, Fiberite is q new insulating mater
ial made from wood pulp, and is be-
ing used for storage cells and by var
ious electrical concerns. 1t is said to
give satisfaction.
A Vienna engineer named Fischer
has lust taken out patent for new
smoke abating process. He propos-
SEES, by means of electricity, to con-
dense the solid part of the smoke as
it arises from the coal, the carbon
thus solidifed falling back into the
furnace.
Austrian engineers speak iavora-
blv of Gieszi's pilot-engine for pre-
venting railway collisions. 1t is
worked by electricity, under the con-
troll of the engineer, and is run at any
desired distance in front Of the train,
which it stops automatically on en-
countering any obstacle.
Professor Mees, discussing iii the
American association the velocity of
tornadoes, mentions that straws and
bits Of hay are often driven like darts
into pine boards, and even into the
dense bark of hickory trees. He had
found that to obtain similar results
by shooting straws from an air gun,
velocities of from $50 to IT'S miles
an hour were necessary.
There are twenty blast furnaces in
and about Pittsburg, thirty-five roll
ing mills, thirty-nine steel works, tif-
teen window-glass works. thirty:sev-
en- flint-glass works, and eleven green
GLASS works. The blast furnaces
make 100000 tons of iron per year,
the rolling mills $4,000 tons, steel
works 100000 tons, plate glass works
3,250,000 square feet, window-glass
works 100000.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the
latest thing for which dynamite has
been employed is not the blowing up
of buildings, but, on the contrary,
the laying of their foundations. This
new development is due to M. Bon
netond, French engineer. When a
foundation has to be laid in wet
ground, he bores a hole from ten to
twelve feet deep and an inch and a
half wide. Into this hole he passes a
string of dynamite cartridges, which
are then exploded. Not only is a
cavity of a yard wide produced by
the explosion, but the expansive force
of the dynamite drives the water out
for beyond the sides of this cavity,
and it does not return again for more
than half an hour In the meantime
the workmen clear the cavity and in
troduce quickly setting concrete, so
that when the water returns again it
cannot injure the foundation. The
method has been put into practice
during the building of an enceinte at
Lyons, and rapid rate of working
is said to have been attained thereby.

Ammonia in Baking Powders.
trom Lhe ScienliIic Ameriean.

from The Scientific american.
Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry, none is more
important than the uses to which
common ammonia can be properly
put as a leavening agent, and which
indicate that this familiar salt is here
after to perform an active part in The
preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia Isl AN ex.
ceedingly volatile substance. Place
a small portion of it upon a knife
and hold over n flame, and it will al
most Immediately be entirely devel-
oped into gas and pass off into the
air. The gas thus formed is simple
composition of nitrogen and hydro
gen. No residue is left from the am
monia. This gives it its superiority
as leavening power over soda and
cream of tartar used alone, and has
induced its use as q supplement to
these articles. A small quantity of
ammonia in the dough is effective in
producing bread that will be lighter,
sweeter and more wholesome than
that risen by any other leavening
agent. When it is acted upon by
the heat Of baking, the leavening gas
that raises the dough is liberated.
In this act it uses itself up, as it
were the ammonia is entirely diff
fused, leaving no trace or residuum
whatever. The light, fluffy, flaky
appearance, so sought after by pro-
fessional cooks, is said to be impart,
ed to them only by the use of this
agent.
The bakers and baking powder
manufacturers producing the finest
goods have been quick to avail them
selves of this useful discovery, and
the handsomest and best bread and
cake are now largely risen by the aid
Of ammonia combined, of course,
with other leavening material
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. If, as
seems to be justly claimed for it, the
application of its properties to the
purposes of cooking, results in Civ
ing us lighter and more wholesome
bread, biscuit and cake, it will prove
boon to dyspeptic humanity, and
will speedily force itself into general
use in the new field to which science
has assigned it.

IL a lecture at the Lowell institute,
Professor Wood dealt with the phenom-

and much tiercer than the male, who
while paying his addresses is in constant
peril, frequently losing some of his
legs. In one tribe the female is 1900
times as large as the male. The spi-

small threads or fibers, one of these
threads being estimated to be one two
millionth of hair in thickness. Three

HOUSEHOLD.

AN INVALID DINNER--Boil aain,
tily a tender French chop and serve II
on a small and very bot platter with a
surig or two of parsley. Serve with il
on a pretty dish, also hot, some tomato
cooked in this way: Peel two large,
fresh. ripe tomatoes, cut up in quarters,
and simmer for at least an hour on the
back of the stove in a porcelain lined +,
not tin, stew pam Let 1t cook over
rather than under an hour. Add, when
nearly done and all in a soft mass, a
piece of the best and freshest butter,
pepper and salt to taste and a large
handful OF soda or snowflake waters
broken into bits. Then let it cook un-
til the crackers are thoroughly soft and
partly mingled with the tomato. Put
in no water and before you take 1t off
the stove be sure that it is properly AMI
deliciously seasoned, Another nice
way TO serve a chop for an Invalid is to
stew it In its own gravy with table
spoonful OF stock and a small piece of
butter. Place the chop in a small
saucepan on a cool corner of the stove;
the meat must be constantly turned for
an hour or more. taking care to have
the lid on the saucepan to keep the
steam In. Serve on a plate with some
delicate potato cTOquettes, and a few
new carrots stewed until quite tender
in Isome stock. The breast of a cold
roast chicken can be warmed up in
some potato snow and little cauliflow-
er dressed with cream sauce, An in
valid's food should always be served
not, and should be previously and per-
fectly seasoned. The first mouthful, if
slightly fat from lack of seasoning, Is
apt to destroy ones capacious appetite
altogether.
