UTILIZING WASTE.

E~cononiiz!nE Materials Which Otherwise
Would BE Thrown Away.
1t is quite the fashion to speak of the
French people as being the most eco
nomical of any in the world, as they
allow nothing to be wasted which can
in any way be utilized. But it appears
TO us that the people of this country
are not far behind in the matter Of
economizlng materials that would
otherwise be wasted. Do we not use
beefs blood for door knobs2 Are we
not putting doors and blinds into our
houses made of wood pulpl We also
use paper doors, blinds, etc, to say
nothing of paper car wheels, paper
boats, paper nails and other utensils
too numerous to mention. Paper, as
we know, is made of materials which
would ordinarily be wasted if not thus
used. Sawdust has become an impor,
tant article of commerce, as it is large.
ly used in plaster. Coal dust is now
used in many ways as a fuel, yielding
an intense heat, and very useful in
some kinds of manufacturing.
The very dirt beneath our feet is
transformed by the arts of various
craftsmen into building materials, hav-
ing tireproof qualities, or it is trans,
muted into the finest pottery, or the
most delicate porcelain for crystal.
Also from clay we extract a metal,
which, by reason of new processes,
bids fair to rival iron in usefulness in
building. We refer to aluminium,
which, while not a new metal, has
heretofore been too expensive to come
into general Use By a new invention,
however, which renders its manufac-
ture much easier and cheaper, it is
likely to become the metal of the future
for special uses in place of iron. 1t
is a beautiful metal, resembling the
brightest silver, and is very tough and
durable. Alumina, as is well known,
when found in its pure state, crystal
lized, is that royal gem, the sapphire,
next in hardness to the diamond.
From the Stag of the blast furnace
the skillful manipulation produces a
fine, soft wool which is perfectly non
combustible, and, if properly applied,
will render our houses practically fire.
proof. We might go on ad infinitum,
but we will close the subject by men
tioning one of the latest triumphs in
the art of utilizing waste materials
hat of manufacturing a composition
which can be nodded into any orna-
mental shape required u of the chips
of granite from the stone cutters yard.
1t is said that fine decorative stone
work can thus be produced at about
one-tenth the cost of cut stone orna-

profit to the manufacturer. Also that
this material may be vitritied SO that
it will take on a permanent polish as
fine as that of polished granite. Ar

A. H. Loeb, was arrested tonight to

day for $4,000. Ellis, it is said. has
made a full confession.

WASHINGTON, May l.-Vest, from the
select committee on meat products, re
ported several measures. The first was a
concurrent resolution asking the president
to inaugurste diplomatic correspondence
with the authorities of Great Britain to
bring about a repeal or modification OF the
existing quarantine regulations in the
United Kingdom. The next was one
providing for a. national inspection law
requiring all live cattle to be inspected
when exported; also that cattle intended
for expectation, or the meat of which is
intended for expectation, be subject to IN
spection at the places where killed. The
mex was intended to prohibit the mon
opoly as to storage capacity Of steamships
carrying cattle to foreign countries. Evi-
dence has shown conclusively that in the
port of New York the practice has OBJ
tanned among steamship companies OF
leasing or contracting, sometimes a single
vessel and sometimes all the vessels of the
line for a number of months in advance
to one person. Another bill reported
was intended to prevent the discrimIna-
ton which nov exists on all railroads run

cattle cars carrying live cattle from West
to East.
Vest asked in the name of the cattle
u~raisers of the country that the bills be
takenp and considered at an early day.
Cullom recognized the importance of
the measures and declared himself anxious
to secure early consideration. He asked
Vest whether the report was very long or
whether it could be printed soon.
Vest replied that the report covered
about 100 pages of type written matter
and he supposed it could be printed in a
few days.
The customs administrative bill was
taken up. the pending question being on
Gray's amendment securing to the ag-
grieved importer the right to bring a com
mon law suit against the collector.
Hiscock proposed an amendment to
the effect that the court in its discretion
may receive additional evidence and send
difficult questions of fact for trial to a
jury.
After a long discussion Gray's amend
ment was laid on the table by a party vote.
The bill went over until to morrow with
the agreement that the senate proceed
with a vote on the bill and pending
amendments at 4 O'Clock tomorrow after.

an executive session. the senate adjourned.
