AMERICAN CoNsULs
Arc Making Themselves Useful While
They are Abroad

They are Abroad.
Charles Z. Sigh who has just re-
turned from Europe says: "The Amer
lean consuls abroad are trying to bring
about an acquaintance between manu-
facturers abroad and the jobbers and
retailers Of this country, and thus save
the expense'of the importing houses in
New York. / spent some time IN Bel
GUM and had long talk with Mr..
Roosevelt, the consul there. lie said
this was done to large extent-that
the manufacturers and jobbers were
constantly being brought closer to-
gether.
There is no reason why there should
not be large number of men IN Grand
Rapids importing direct, as the Messrs.
LeOnards are dong, instead of buying
through the New York importer 1t is
especially easy, now that we have Gus
tom house right in our own city. The
jobbers n Grand Rapids will find the
consuls IN the different countries will
ing and glad to give them any informa-
ton.
1T is generally reported that under
the Cleveland administration the ap-
pOintment OF consuls was dictated by
the New York importers. Under Pres
ident Harrison with Mr.. Blaine at the
head of the state Department, all this
has been changed and cOusuls have
been appointed who are encouraging
the jObber 10 buy directly from the
manufacturers, and save the profit OF
the importers for himself and his GUS
toners.

lap, the present consul at Fuerth,
where oil our German mirror glass
comes from, was formerly at Breslau.
He told me tlat be had discovered that
the consular invoice greatly underval-
ued the goods sent THIS had been
done right along. He Immediately
raised the valuation and was upheld by
the board OF appraisers in New York"

A Fish Hospital.

A hospital for fish9 This is the odd
est thing heard of for a very long
time, but it exists, and an ichthyolo-
gist, who knows all about ii, sends
particulars. Hospitals are springing
up in all parts of the kingdom for the
benefit of domesticated animals. The
horse, the dog, the cat and winged
creatures are cared for, and now hos
pital for fish has been opened at the
Midland Counties Fish Culture estab-
hshment at Malvern Wells All fish
are liable to epidemic and fungoid dis
eases, together with other maladies,
which may be due to natural or acct
dental causes, and those suffering
from any of these affections are re-
moved from their habitats at the es-
Enlistment and placed in the hospi-
tai. where they are carefully attended
to. The home of rest, or finny hospi-
tai, consists of ponds, constructed in
such way that the patients may be
readily scrutinized and doctored. A
hospital without surgical aid would be
lacking in an essential, and, therefore,
the art of fish healing has been care
fully studied by the founder and pro-
prietor of the hospital, who has in
vented and manufactured special me-
dicinal solutions for application TO
fishes of different species, according to
the nature of their sutferings. Lon

Wood PUN Jars.

An improvement has been intro
duced in the manufacture of battery
jars from wood pulp which consider
ably increases their power of resisting
the battery solutions while removing
all danger from the leakage which has
heretofore sometimes been the result
of imperfect treatment These jars are
made from ground wood in the same
manner as the well known pals and
similar untesils, but after having been
formed and dried are treated by inn
mersions in composition which pene-
trates the pulp, making the jar acid
proof. 1t has been found difficult in
the past TO insure in the case of every
jar a thorough penetration of each
fiber by the protecting compound, ow-
ing TO the considerable amount of air
which the fibers themselves and the
space between them contain. This
difficulty has been happily surmount-
ed by the ingenious device of treating
the jars in vacuum, whereby the
air is removed, and then, while the
jars are still submerged, admitting the
air on top of the fluid used for treat
ing. The air pressure thus forces the
compound into every portion of the
material forming the jar, and renders
certain the protection of every hber.-
