he got out and notified the station-master;
but the latter refused to interfere or to de-
tain the train until the thieves could be
arrested. Mr.. Cobb sued the road, but
both the Divisional court and the Court of
Appeals decided that, though the facts
might be as Mr. Cobb had stated them, he
had no case.
A great deal has been done in the way
of utilizing by-products that were for
merly wasted, but there Ia more to be
done. An article in the Manufacturers
Record of Baltimore, by G. B. Warrand of
Savannah, shows what might easily be
saved in turpentine manufacture. In this
industry there is waste of 25 to 80 per
cent. in weight, amounting to 10000
tons, at least, annually. This waste pro-
ceeds from what is known as the "still
water" and the "turpentine dross," the
latter being what remains of the solids
after straining out the rosin. The still
water contains acetic acid of great purity,
acetone, and methyl alcohol, all of
which might be easily recovered with
slight expense. The present waste of
these by-products alone amounts to some
thing like 100000 annually. The tur-
pentine dross is now burnt in the open air
simply to get rid of 1t, but at trihIpg
cost 1t could be turned into lampblack
worth two cents pound, and this repre-
sents an annual loss of $4,000 tons, worth
$s,bOO,oOO.
The Cholera conference, to which the
Austrian government invited all the Euro
pean powers, will probably meet at Dres-
den at the end of this month. Nearly all
the powers have signifed that they. will
take part. The Standards Vienna CORES
pondent says: "The leading idea of Count
Kalnoky in calling the conference was to
do for the traffic by land what the Sanitary
conference at Venice did for communica-
ton by sea-thsr is, to bring about uni
formity in the restrictive and protective
measures adopted by the different govern
ments against the epidemic. Ali the medi-
cal authorities agree that we shall have
cholera again next spring, or at latest
some time during the coming summer"
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the
same paper, writing under date of Feb. 7,
says: "Public rumor affirms that the
cholera is already beginning to attain
serious proportions, and private informs-
tion enables me to state that the daily
death rate in the hospital Of the infantry
guard at Simeonobsky square from this
oause and typhus is exceptionally high"
If you want to take a bath in style you
can do SO at the bath-house of Mr.. Adolph
Sutro is having built on the harbor shore
near San Francisco. 1t is situated in
natural cove into which sweeps the line of
surf. To break its onset aud protect the
building massive sea-wall has been built.
On the inner side of it is an enclosure with
a capacity of 1000, 900 gallons of water,
and adjacent to this are six apartments, or
bathing tanks, which are to be filled from
the large reservoir with water at various
temperatures, to suit the bathers. No

the ocean being continuous by reason of
the conformation of the cove, which Is
that Of horse ehoe. In the oalmest
weather all the tanks can bs filed in fifty
minutes. Tae waste water is carried by
pipes far out to tea Back of the bath tiers
of seats are to be raised for the accom-
mediation of thousands of spectators.
The dressing-rooms, four hundred in
number, will be placed under the seats
and on five different floors. They are to
be finished handsomely with natural woods
and provided with the best appointments.
On each floor there will also bs club
room. Elevators will carry patrons from
story to story. Over all there will be a
roof of glass 350x250 feet. At night the
building will be lighted by electricity. A
stage for dramatic performances and a
promenade on the roof for use in summer
are also features of the scheme. The work
of construction will take year and half,
from which alone the magnitude of the
enterprise may be inferred.
