At the recent annual meeting Of
the American Chemical society, held
in Washington, D. c., the question
of the value of carbonate of ammo
MIA as leavening agent in bread, or
as used in baking powders, came up
for discussion, in which Prof Baker,
of the University Of Pennsylvania,
and president of the society; DR..
Richardson, late Of the U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture f. in Washington;
Dr. VIM. McMurtrie, late Prof. of
chemistery in the University of Hi
nois; DIR. Il. H. BARLEY, late chemist
Of the Brooklyn, N. Y. Board of
Health, and Prof. of Chemistry of
the Long Island College, and others
took part.
The concensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment
of ammonia 1t was stated as fact
that ammonia rendered the gluten Of
the flour more soluble than the
original gluten, and that the bread
in which this action was produced by
carbonate of ammonia must be, more
digestible and hence more healthful,
and because of the extreme volatility
of carbonate of ammonia and its
complete expulsion from the bread
in the process of baking, it is one o
the most useful, most healthful anC
most yaluahls leavening agents
: known
These conclusions are borne ou
: by the very elaborate and exhaust;v
experiments made by Prof. j. W
Mallet, of the University of Virginia
y which show conclusivcly that brea
made with baking powder in whic
one per cent Of carbonate OF ammoni

From the number of applicants
for permit 20 cut timber on the non

to this Office for investigation, il is
apparent that an erroneous Impress
ion exists among those interested in
the vocation of cutting timber and
manufacturing the same ipto lumber

applications should be fled.
These, like all other matters relat-
ing to the public domain, should be
hlcd in our Office, and transmitted
in the usual way to this Office for ap-
propriate action.
The permit, if one is granted, will
be Issued under the direction OF the
Hon. Secretary of the Interior, but
the preliminary investigation is made
in this Office. Should further inqni-
ry in regard to this question arise in
your district you will advise the par
ties and relieve the department O.
much unnecessary work, and to som'
extent expedite the examination OF
these applications. A docket o

THE DEADLY WIRE,
FIVE HUNDRED VOLTS WAS WHAT KILLEI
BARTENDER BARTELS.
And It Was Five Minutes Before he Ceased
Breathing, and His Low Moan Was Torture
to Listen TO-A Thrilling Scene in a
New York Saloon.

New YORK, August 6.-Another vic
tim has been claimed by the deadly
electric-light wires. Again 1t has been
shown that the accidental electrocutions
that have frequently occurred are in
every way more for neatness dispatch
than those carefully planned for the
execution of the law in this State.
The present victim was Henry Bar
tells, German, twenty-four years old, a
bartender in Theodore Foltenstein's
saloon, at No. 266 Grand street. 1t
was in discharge of the duties of that
position, at 5:55 o'clock last evening,
that he received the electric shock that
killed him almost instantly.
Like nearly all other large saloons,
Feltenstein's establishment is cooled by
large rotary fans, the power for which
is furnished by four-horse power Brush
electric motor. When running at full
blast, as it usually is, the motor gener-
ates 400 volts of electricity.
The armature and collector Of this
machine is on one end of the bar, very
near the cork-puller, and in such posi-
ton that the bartender, to get any
thing out of the cigar case, has to reach
over the collector. There was no rail-
ing about the motor, nor any precaution
taken to prevent persons from coming
in contact with it.
Shortly before 6 o'clock last night
one of the employees in the Brush Elec-
trio Company's branch office on Eliza
beth street called at the saloon to make
some repairs to the pnlleys, which were
slightly out of order.
While he was at work the motor was
stopped, but as soon as he had finished
it was again started in full force.
At sos o'clock one Of the walters,
Christopher Miller, went to the bar and
gave an order for a glass OF beer and
two ten-cent cigars. Bartels drew the
beer, and with the glass in his hand
went to the cigar case to complete the
order.
He rested his right hand on the arm
allure, and with his left reached over
the motor for the cigars. In drawing
back he Strengthened up. His forehead
came in contact with one OF the two
wires that supply the motor. The cir
emit was complete. His right hand
resting on the armature, where he had
possibly rested it when getting cigars
thousand times before, was enough, but
to make it more certain, he was stand
ing on the damp metal mat that cover
ed the floor behind the bar
The long line of customers at the bar
saw him Strengthened up. His form
grew rigid. His eyes were fixed and
protruding. His face paled to an ashen
hue. A cry, such as the witnesses say
they never heard before, and never
want to hear again--a kind of low,
