An invention which is likely to be
of considerable importance from a san
itary point of view has been tested in
England with satisfactory results. II
consists in the application of a prepa-
ration to coal, by which the constituents
are said to be concentrated and hard
ened. In practice the coal is stepped
In the solution, and the fuel can he
used either wet or dry Two large
fires were shown at the demonstration,
one being made with coal in It's normal
condition and the other with the treat
ed coal. The difference was manifest,
the chemicalized coal giving off but a
very tritling anourt of smoke, while
good blazing fire was maintained
The treatment of the coal is said TO
cost twelve cents per ton, every ex-
pense included, 1t is proposed that
the coal shall be treated in coal mer-
chants yards, ready for delivery to
the consumer.

Those who are best posted upon the
condition and prospects of the iron in
dustry saw that an era OF activity is at
hand. AS yet there has been no
change in the price of pig iron, but
steel rails and other forms of manu-
factured iron have advanced consider
ably. The demand is large and seems
to be increasing.
Reports of date of October l give
the number as blast furnaces in opera
ton as PAS, with weekly capacity of
l39,O10 tons, while 145 furnaces, with
capacity of 52,48S tons, are idle.
Upon investigation, however, it was
found that many Of the idle furnaces
are antiquated in design, dismantled,
or badly located, so that the idle capac-
ity is only about $4,000 tons per week.
In other words, 81 per cent. of the
total producing capacity is already in
blast. Some furnaces are always tenn
porarily idle for repairs and the per-
centage Is rarely greater than this. 1t
may be said that the country is pro-
ducing all the pig iron its capacity will
permit.

BABCOCK'S PECULIAR CASE.
Why He Sold the Property, and How He Re,
covered 1t.

George D. Babcock. a rather intelligent young
fellow faced the judge and liste-ed to an indict-
meDt charging him with grand larceny, alleging
that he had stolen span OF horses, harness,
etc, from Jesse Webb. When asked for his
plea he hesitated moment, and then said he
would enter a plea OF gully, but would like TO
make statement In doing So he said that he
had come here a stranger, and had been engaged
TO drive this team on shares. a few days after
he received letter from his wife to the effect
that she was in destitute circumstances and
needed help. He had q chance TO sell the team
and did so, but had no sooner got up town
than he repented of what he had done,
it, and asked that the sale be declared of. This
the purchasers refused to accede TO, when Bah
cock offered them $40 TO boot-all the money he
had IN the world. This offer was also refused,
but he was informed that they would trade
back for $50. This he acceded to, and Babcocll
paid the $40 on account, promising to pay the
balance Just as soon as he could earn it. Later.
he was again approached by parties who desire
10 buy the outfit, and he was about TO dispose OF
it again, when he was arrested.
Judge Anderson appeared deeply interested in
the case, and when the defendant had concluded
he asked:
Have you had any counsely'
Babcock-I talked with an attorney, some
time ago, and he advised me TO plead guilty.
The Judge-This is a case, ii seems TO me, in
which you should have had the services Of an
attorney. The lightest punishment that the
court can infiict, under plea of guilty to this
charge, is one year If you so desire it, will
allow you to withdraw your plea and appoint
rome one 10 defend YOU
This seemed to affect the defendant consid-
6rably, and after some further consideration,
the defendant said he would withdraw his plea,
and the court appointed o. W. Powers to de
fend him.
The defendant came to this city from Phila
delphia last August.
