Mineral India Rubber Asphalt.

According to the Practical Mechan-

to the useful products, and is known as
mineral India rubbeNasphalt. It is pro-

tar by sulphuric acid, and forms black
material very much like ordinary as

The hand-saw, though a.common tool,

of fling and Strengthening is known by

to keep his saw in perfect order, mas
much as the tools to do SO arc in his

angling ACROSS the grain, even at q
short angle. What is wanted is a fast,
smooth, easy-cutting saw, that will
take inter or angle to the grain with
out gouging or pinching itself, as an
ordinary ripsaw would do. This is ac-
complished by fling the teeth with con-
siderable pitch and a good bevel, using
the file with the stroke outward on the
front of the teeth. This puts the wire
or rough edge on the outside and allows
a saw to run with much less set and cut
freer. The gain in cutting is principal
ly in plenty of pitch and a good beyel.
Use a good set, setting only the points
of the teeth. otherwise the blade
will be sprung. The saw will

An Energetic Secretary.

I once went down New York bay in q
small steamboat, furnished for the
occasion with blaring brass band and q
we'll frequented refreshment department
on the lower deck, to see big man off
for Europe.
By and by the big man climbed aboard
of his steamer with some difficulty, for
he was quite a fat big man. Just then 1
heard man behind me saying, "And
there isn't an American flag anywhere
to be seen about her. It's a shame"
Turning saw, with the man who had
spoken, an old friend, who at once intro
duced us. My new acquaintance proved
to be MIR. A. B. Humphreys, whom every
body knows now as the Secretary of the
League of Republican Clubs, and Presi-
dent Clarkson's righthand man. Mr..
Humphreys is a tall, vigorous, brown
bearded Westerner with pleasant, open
countenance, and a heap of energy, which
he will need, every bit of it, If he is to
work with James S. Clarkson
Mr.. Humphreys is one Of those men, of
whom there are few in each party, who
really believe that a party means some
thing besides an organization intent on
driving the other fellows out of the clover
patch, and that's why 1 expect to see
him working with will when he gets
back from what is by no means q holiday
trip in Europe.

Tho Slipping Of Belts,

A multitude of opinions have been
put on record as to the best means of
preventing belts from slipping. A
writer in an exchange, referring to this
question, says: Let me answer once for
ala little good common sense. If q
man is drawing a hundred bushels of
wheat to your mill and the wagon gets
stuck, he must either take of part of
the load or hitch on more horses. It Is
exactly the same with slipping belt
You must either tighten the load or else
put on a heavier belt. In 90 cases out
of 100 the trouble will be entirely OBJ
waited by putting on a double belt. Rest
assured that any kind of daub placed
on belt will be a detriment instead Of
a help. The belt will run better for a
few minutes and then this STUFF will
collect on pulleys and in places on the
belt, making it much worse than ever.
The best dressing that / have ever
seen for leather betting is little cas-
tor oil.

and may appear full under the straight
edge near the center of the saw.
Pay no attention to this; get the
edges straight and ninety-nine times
out of hundred your saw will be
straight throughout. In case q saw
falls and gets bent, it will be necessary
to extend the blows a little further in
from the edge, as In this case the saw
is bent clear across, but in no case strike
the center Of your saw. The edges get
bent or kinlx and there is where the
work is to be done. Don't use a round
pene hammer, unless a round spot is
found in the center of the saw. A saw
with a gradual curve wants q uniform
space Of light blows always on tho con-
vex or high side. The tooth edge some
times appears crooked while the back
is straight or nearly SO. In such cases
proceed as directed, viz, apply the
blows where the kinks are found. ALI
this must be done on q firm, smooth,
wooden block, never on the anvil, or
your saw will soon be ruined by the
edges getting longer, and will not then
come straight, unless an expert is called
in who understands tension.-Mechan,

According to u Government Report the
Chilian Rebels Have No Chance.
LONDON, June PA dispatch from
the CHILEAN government at Santiago
states that President Balmaceda Is
increasing the strength of the army and
that his war vessels are attacking rebel
ports while the rebel squadron avoids
fighting. The insurgents have lost all
their moral force, and that resistance on
their part in the South has come to an
end. The rebels, 1t is claimed, are pro-
longing the struggle only to enrich them
selves with the Tarapaca nitrate deposits
The President freely walks the streets
of Santiago, which city is entirely on his
side.
Ninetea@ provinces are stated to be
under the control of the Balmacedists,
these provinces being inhabited by 5000,
600 people, while the rebellious provinces
have a population of but $50, 00U, half of
whom are represented to Re foreigners.
1t is also asserted that the "Constitu-
Nonal Congress" sits regularly and fur
nishes Balmaceda with ample resources.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-Details o
the Chinese riots and recent attacks on
missionaries and other Christians have
just arrived by the steamship Gaelic
from Hong Kong. Rioters from Shang-
hal burned a mission on the banks of
one of the rivers of the province and put
o death all those connected with it.
Just before the Gaelic left four of these
murderers were put to death. The
French man-of-war Inconstant had to 60

Two missionary steamers were seized
lust above Nankin, and the missionaries
were compelled to escape in their boats.
One steamer was burned to the waters
edge and the other was set afire, but tn
Chinese gunboats arrived on the scene
and put the fire out and rescued the mis-
sionaries. An outbreak against the
French is expected daily in Shanghai.
Infiammatory placards have been posted
up all over the town.

the French have already been given in
Woo-Hoo and other river ports, and the
placards warn the French in Shanghai
that their turn will soon come. The
placards revile the French Mixed Court
Magistrate, who, the writer says, was
once O house-boy to foreigner, and he
is not capable of looking after Chinese
interests.
The placard concludes that q general
attack will be made on the 9th OF the
Chinese moon. The Chinese authorities
at Shanghai are looking for the authors
of the placards. If they are caught they
will be beheaded.
At Wuhn the rioters proceeded to the
English Consulate and threw stones
through the windows and destroyed
flowers Only the timely arrival OF
officers and the GOODNESS of the Consul
saved this fine building from the torch.
Hundreds Of savage native were yelling
and bowling about the place, and the
Consul and his wife had to disguise
themselves in Chinese clothes in order to
escape.
Some of the best informed officials in
Nankin express the opinion that these
outbreaks are only the prelude to gen.
eral uprising, and that no security should
be felt because the present riots are

powers to keep a strong fleet on the

A Woo-Hoo correspondent says the mob
there numbered 10000. The mob went
systematically to work and pulled down
buildings as If they were paid for it.
They carefully took the hinges Off the
doors and windows, using screw drivers,

and carried away in boats all the plum
der they could secure. A man dressed
in silk, with fan in one hand and red
flag in the other, directed the men where
they were to work.

know a woman who was very much
astonished recently at receiving a notifi-
cation from a savings bank to the effect
that there was upon it's books the neat
little sum of $4,000 to her credit, which
was likely to be outlawed If she didn't
step up and claim it pretty soon. She
was utterly astounded and hadn't the
remotest recollection of putting any
money in the bank, but the books showed
that she must have deposited $500 and
forgotten all about it. The rest was in
terest which had accumulated for twenty
years.
Very unusual, you Think Not a bit
of it. A savings bank man told me,
when was speaking to him about the
case, that large part Of the banks
profits came from deposits abandoned or
forgotten by the depositors, though it is
not usual for so large a sum as $500 to
be forgotten. Such a bank as the Dry
Dock, in the Bowery, New York, which is
largely patronized by sailors, of course
profits most by this carelessuess, as the
depositors often drift to other ports and
forget all about their savings in New
York before they get back, If they ever

Her Voice Broke n Lamp Shade.

Mrs. Edmund Russell, the apostle of
aesthetics, has a voice which would break
a lamp shade.
This remark is not meant to be i'm
polite, and it ought to be true, for the
lady herself is authority for the state
ment.
'It was in Boston," she said. 81 was
talking with a famous voice teacher
about tones and vibrations, and we both
sounded certain note in unison. We
must have hit the exact unit of vibration
of an eight-inch shade, for near where we
were standing the crystal globe about
gas jet quivered and snapped. We looked
at it and crack ran quite around it. The
sound had broken it.''
This is rather an unusual incident, GER
tainly, but the principle is familiar
enough. A dog trotting across foot
bridge can break it down il he happens
to hit the unit of vibration, which of
course differs with the length of the
bridge. It's good military rule to break
step when a company walks across
bridge unless it's unusually strong. But

OF fuel made from coal dust in the form

mixed with pitch, in the proportion OF
about 90 per cent. of coal dust to 8 per

which steam Is admitted is used, and
the process has been improved to such
degree that the materials undergo no
