OLD TIN CANS.
, New Industry Near the Large cIne.

A New Industry Near the Large Cities
In the suburbs of great cities an
industry has sprung UP, having for
its object the recovery of the solder
used in making and sealing tin cans.
In consequence the formerly despised
and useless tin can has acquired SUI
flcient commercial value to rescue 10
from the black lot dumping ground
and garbage scow.
Under the present system OF street
cleaning, New York City's refuse IS
loaded on scows from docks located
at convenient intervals along the
river front, aud then taken to sea ana
dumped these docks have double
decks, the upper projecting sum-
GENTLY to allow the contents or
cart to fall upon the middle OF the
scow, and be distributed by the trim
mers who keep the vessel on an even
keel. The trlmmers also select every
thing of value with the greatest care;
rags. fat, bone, metal, paper stock,
etc, being stored on the lower deck
of the dock The silver and jewelry
form no small item of the contractors
profit, and the total value of scow.
load is estimated at an average OF
5000.
The space between the dock plat
forms is often closed IN with odds and
ends, and the interior converted into
miserable habtation by the trim
mers, men and women, who thus herd
together, their supplies being drawn
from the dump,
These dumping docks are the prin-
cipal source of supply for the in
dustry, and wagon load of tin cans
can be bought at such places for four
or five dollars.
The furnace is an cid soap boiler
into which few sticks are thrown;
the bowl is then filled with cans a
quart of kerosene poured over them
and ignited.
The heat developed by the oil is
not great enough to attack the tin,
but meltS the solder, which flows to
! the bottom Of the bowl. The solder
recovered from load of cans aver
ages forty pounds. After this pro-
cess is completed the tin plate scrap
| is sold to make what is called 'acid. :"
Into large open vat containing
vast acid, acid ferric sulphate, sui
phuric or nydrocnlorlc acid, the scrap
is thrown and allowed 20 remain I'M
til the tin is stripped from the iron
underneath; more scrap and metallic
iron is added until the solution is
neutral. The tin thus dissolved is
used as basis for the preparation OF
stannates or other tin compounds, and
by dYers.
The iron plate is rolled into balls
for melting, the ferrous sulDhate
purified and sold as commercial cop
peras, and the remaining acid used in
repetition Of the process. Scientific

Her Young Were Saved.

A herd Of 5, 900 beeves were toiling
over the lonely trail from New
Mexico to Kansas leaving behind
them across the grassy plains and
valleys, a swarth as bare as if it had
been swept by the fiery breath Of a
simoom.
Suddenly the leader of the herd, a
huge steer, started back in terror,
gave vent to a snort of warning, and
m owing to the right passed on Those
Immediately in his rear turned to
right or left and their example was
followed by each long horned p lgrim
as he reached the dreaded spot.
When the entire herd had passed,
wide, trampled track lay behind,
but near the middle Of this dusty
space stood a luxuriant island Of grass
three feet in diameter
A herdsman rode up to the spot
and dismounted, expecting To find a
rattlesnake, a creature OF which
cattle as we'll as horses have an in
stnctiye and we'll founded dread.
Instead Of serpent, however, the
grass tuft contained only harmless
kildee plover, covering her nest,
while her wings were kept in con.
slant and violent motion. Seen in
distinctly through the grass, she had
evidently been mistaken 10y the steer
for a rattlesnake.
She did not take fight. even at the
cowboy, but yaliantly pecked at bis
boot as he gently pushed her to ou'
side to find that the nest contained
tour unfedged killdees.

"Riding backwards" or ''cross
motion, Of all the Jockeys tricks, is
the most effective, and at the same
time the most difficult Of detection.
1t is simple trick, consisting simply
OF throwing the motion Of the cody
out of time with that Of the horse.
The result is that the speed of the
horse is materially lessened.
On the other hand, when a jockey
wants to win, he 'takes the motion"
OF the horse, and by che sway of his
body helps to lift him at every bound.
Another trick practiced by the
clocks" is called the "leg lock-" and
when cautiously applied has more to
do with the result Of the race than
the uninitiated may think.
In effect, it is one Jockey holding
another back, and this is done By
means of the 'leg lock-" Two horses
are leading the field, one neck
ahead Of the other
AS they round into the stretch they
are running Close together The
| Jockey in the lead sees bis chance,
and draws closer to his opponent
until the horses almost touch. He
lets the second gain on him until the
leg OF his opponent touches his les
/ from behind.
This is Just what the little rasca
wants. Let his opponent win If he
can. Every lunge of the second horse
pushes the first one ahead, firing it
self. and easing the flight of the othe
until the final squirt, when the no rs
thus aided easily cones in tn
winner

4 Band of Robbers.
NANIE:

Topeka, Kan, June %. The Ar
kansas City and Caldwell banks are
still guarded by armed men in antic
ipation of raid by Indian Territory
desperadoes. The cause of the alarm
was the appearance on the streets Of
Arkansas City of eight well armed
mel whom no one seemed to know,
but who bore the appearance of be-
ing night riders from the Territory,
about four miles distant. When the
citizens armed themselves the gang
withdrew and went into camp on
Grouse creek, where they were
joined yesterday by a half a dozen
others. As they have permitted no
one to come near their camp their
purpose is only guessed.
Owing to the frequent robberies
by men from the Indian Territory,
Arkansas City and Caldwell business
men are determined to be fully pre-
pared, and they are guarding not
only their banks, but all the business
houses carrying considerable sums of
money. The report reached here
this afternoon that the gang, now
composed of dozen men, was NOV
ing westward in the direction of
Caldwell.

improvement is much needed, md
immediate attention should be geivn

The crops at the farm are in a
thriving condition, although of fruit
there is none.
All DESTROYS to visit the farm will
be kindly welcomed by Mr.. Carney
