ADULTERAIIoN OF CANDY.
The Alarming Use of Terra Alba
in Its Manufacture.

in Its Manufacture.
National Druggist.
The Board of Trade Journal, of Port
land. Me-, is authority for the statement
that about 5000 tons of terra alba were
recently imported through the port of
New York alone. The only use for
terra alba in any quantity is in the
adulteration Of candies, and when these
two facts are put together they become
very significant. The substance is
mineral, utterly lnsoluble in the
saliva or the gastric juice, and
the result of eating candies
adulterated can not be otherwise than
excessively injurious. The deYilish-
ness of the use of such stuff in candies
is all the greater for the fact that most
of the candies that are adulterated with
it are used by children of tender years.
The extent to which it exists in certain
candies may be Surmised by an incident
which occurred within the experience
of the editor of the National Druggist.
A wholesale grocery house Of st. Louis
made claim against the South Shore
line for damages done a certain lot of
lOZengeS manufactured by a Boston
house and shipped in barrels over that
line. The general agent of the line
procured Some of these "loZenges''
and brought them to the writer for eX-
animation. The result of our investi-
CATION showed them TO consist entirely
of terra alba bound together with lit
tie gelatine or gum 1--WE have forgotten
which.) Further Investigation devel-
oped that they were simply cheap loz-
enges, the method of use being simply
TO immerse them for few moments in
sirups favored with peppermint, win
tergreen, etc. The agent, armed with
these facts, refused topay any damages,
and the concern, rather than risk the
exposure incident upon a lawsuit,
dropped the claim.

bine the character Of block Of houses that
while each separate tenement shall preserve
an individual character they should come
together into an imposing and harmonious
whole; but it is necessary to remark that
modern building has never attained that
ideal A short time ago we quoted the
aesthetic ccomplaintof journal in Edinburgh
of the heterogeneous nature of new and
fashionable street there. That being the
case the issue in architecture is the same as
that between socialism and individualism
in social organization. Between the devel-
opment of individual characteristics in
city architecture even at the risk Of
incongruousness, and the dullness of uniform
ity, there is no halfway point. The best
and most artistic architecture, because the
most useful for its purposes. will probably
be attained by letting each individual build
ing fix its own character, and trusting to
the similarity of circumstances and even
the laws of fashion to maintain their unity.

ATRAKs-ALLEGHENY A CANAL.

The letter from gentleman interested in
river navigation, suggesting canal to con-
meet the Monongahela river at Morgan
town with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
at Cumberland, puts a project before the
public which is somewhat novel in engineer
ing characteristics and fairly startling in its
commercial possibilities.
The project of tunnel for such a canal is
not so much beyond the present achieve
ments of engineering as might be thought at
first sight Many American readers have
recently read description of just such tun-
nels, through which immense volumes Of
English traffic pass, in William Blacks
"Strange Adventures of a House Boat."5
The English tunnels are not so long as this
one would probably be; but they are long
enough to show the practicability of the
idea, and are in constant use to prove its
value. OF course the engineering question,
on which the whole project must stand or
fall, is its cost; and that cannot be accurate
ly fixed except by surveys.
OF the commercial possibilities of the
project too much cannot be said. Tt is q
material fact that the main factor in the
growth of New York, Buffalo and the cities
lying between them, has been the Erie
Canal. Such a project would make Balti-
more a rival of New York and give to Pitts
burg and the Monongahela and Potomac
valleys the wonderful inspiration of the
cheapest transportation possible. The COM
mercial and industrial results Of such an
advantage are beyond computation. But
their immense importance can be perceived
by seeing what the same factor has done in
New York with little more than half the
natural advantages for manufacturing and
commerce.
The idea is certainly worthy Of discussion.
Such a canal connecting Pittsburg with the
seaboard and the other canal connecting it
with Lake Erie would make it the in
dustrial center of the world.

MISERY AND STARVATION.
POwderly Says the People Of Scranton Gloss

Powderly Says the People Of Scranton Close
Their Eyes TO the Spectacle.
SCRANTON, February 26.-Mr. Powderly,
speaking with reference to the articles he is
writing on the condition. of the mining class in
this region, said that the first one. which was
printed last week, had brought him many let
ters from all over the country. "a man in
New jersey" he continued "has written me
that he will care for one family IL / will send
them on. I thought knew the family and
made them the offer. With tears in their eyes
the husband and wife told me that they could
not accept the generous offer. They were
living in a house which they had partly paid
for and to leave it would be to sacrifice all that
they had laid by during years of toll. will
have to hunt up another family. / also have
received letters from Illinois, several of them
coming to-day, asking If the surplus miners
cannot be sent away from here. There is plenty
of,work out West they say. 1t is probable that
our poor people would not leave Scranton if
furnished the means with which to CO."
"Business seems to be booming quite nicely
in the heart of the city" suggested the inter-
viewer.
"That is true" said Mr.. Powderly. "Fortu-
natelY Scranton has not reached that stage
when its varied industries do not render it
wholly dependent on its mines, therefore every.
thing looks well in the central wards. You will
have to go to the outskirts if you want to see
gaunt want. Really any amount of our poor
people do not get enough to eat Misery and
privation stalk abroad, and we often close our
eyes to the spectacle"
