Preserving all Matter from Destruc-
 ton.

A Chicago man has taken out patent for preserving from destruction all mat ter. He has demonstrated that he can permanently arrest the decay of such perishable articles as oysters, game, meat of all kinds, vegetables, fruit, etc., without impairing their taste in any way. A correspondent of the Globe Democrat Is responsible for this state ment, and declares that he has seen on exhibition lunch of great variety which was kept fresh for weeks by the process referred to. A few weeks ago the editor of the Chronicle was shown grapes which had been kept several months, and which, to all appearances, were as fresh as the day on which they were plucked The bloom remained upon them, and they tasted as we'll as the same variety offered for sale in Oc- tober. It was understood that the in ventor intended to apply for pat ent for his process, but whether he has done So We are unable to tell. There IS great deal of ingenuity being devoted to the discovery of preserving processes just at present, and 1t would not be nt al: surprising if it resulted in great ben efts to the human race.-[San Francisco Chronicle.

BISMARCK'S SPEECH.
1t Was in His Old Aggressive Style
 and Made Sensation.

ana Made a Sensation.
 Prince Bismarck's speech in the Reichstag vas in his old broadsword style. He com pared the Socialists to the French-ready to strike whenever they became strong enough. He referred to the rashness of the Reichstag Tn admitting the Alsatans as members and said: We did not fight the French in order to have ourselves inoculated with fourteen Frenchmen. He described the Conservative opposition to the Workmen's Insurance bill as village belfry policy He touched upon the undeveloped water power of West Prus- sia, the employment of which, he said, would diminish the far-reaching effects of strikes, and added: Further measures must be ta- ken to prevent the minority in the coal dis tricts from paralyzing all industry, down to cook and washerwoman, in three days"
 The scene in the Reiclstag hctw Prince Bismarck and Herr Richter is the sole topic. In consequence of Bismarck's remarks the Liberals have resolved not to attend the fruhschoppen to be given by the Chancellor.
 When Herr Richter uttered the exclamation which aroused the wrath of the Chancellor, the latter, turning angrly toward the Libcr- al members, and pointing his finger at them, said: "I do not know what 'Pfui!' refers to, but 1 regard it as an expression ofthe hatred you gentlemen have borne me for years. As a Christian can pocket it, but as Chancellor, as long as l stand here will strike striker and insult an insulter"

He Says He Will Order His Troops
 to Shoot Rioters.

Emperor William received the delegates of the striking miners at Berlin. He assused them that the government would its in1u- encc to settle the dispute The interview lasted fifteen minutes. Minister Herrfurth was present. The Emperor gravely listened to the grievances of the strikers and occasion. ally asked questions. In reply to their com plaints, he said that he took deep personal interest in the welfare of his subjects in Vest phalia as he did in the welfare of all his sub- jects. He had carefully followed the struggle and he had ordered a thorough inquiry into the facts. He warned the delegation agant the plottings Of political, and especially Socialist, agitators. He grieved that there had been
 r!oting, and said that it was impossible to tolerate such conduct. "Tell your fellow workmcn," he added, "that the Emperor himself, if necessary, will order the troops to batter and shoot rioters, while if they are quiet the Emperor will protect them" He hoped that the disputants would settle their differences without Government meddling
 At Bochum the strikers who drove off the miners who wished to return to work at the Prince Reg mt Colliery were overawed by the troops. The employers will send a deputa. ton to Berlin to interview the Emperor shortly. Three thousand miners in the Hermdorf district have struck. Government workers at Koenigsgrube struck, but re- resumed work on hearing that efforts were being made at Berlin to settle the trouble.

Petroleum Not a New Thing.

Contrary to the general supposition petroleum is no new thing. Under the various synonyms of rock oil, mineral oil, naphtha, bitumen, pitch, asphalt um and mineral wax, 1t has been known and employed for thousands of years. Noah probably used it when he gave his ark two coats of "pitch' within and without; the mortar used in building the Tower of Babel was bituminous s'slime," and the excavations amid the ruins of Nineveh and Babylon gave abundant evidence that the same kind of cement was used there. Even as an Illuminating material in the first cen- tury of the Christian era it was used under the name ''Sicilian oil" and it doubtless entered into the composition of the 1edoubtable Greek fire.-San Franeisco Chronicle.

The Microscope in Drug Stores.

Says St. Louis druggist: 'There is not another city the size of St. Louis with as many druggists who use the mi croscope in their business. The instru- ment IS comparatively new implement in the hands of the druggists, but those who sell medicines here are learning how to use it in the detection of adulter- ations, while the doctors use it in diag- nosing diseases. The increased demand for microscopes has brought down the price so that S25 will now buy as fine a one as $50 would few years ago. I think the time will come when not only doctors and druggists will use micro scopes for scientific purposes, but most society folks will own them as means of amusement and entertainment for their friends {"

No one here regards the interruption of the work as more than temporary.
