member. One evening Capital Punish

deacon of the church and two clergymen

opposed.

A alter for removing grease, which
often passes into boilers with the feed
water. consists OF . metallic chamber or
filter box IN which are aAsFies OF gratings,
and between these gEatings are placed
iayersof wire game and Slammed of a spe-
cial texture, which forms the tiltering me-
dian. The feed water from the donkey
pump eaters the filter box from one side,
passes upward through the filter cloths
and thence out to the boiler, the scum
passing away through another outlet.
BY this means it is found that all grease
and greasy matter, az well a other i'm
pnrities. are arrested blythe filter cloths,
which can be readily taken out for clean
ing or renewal. The Alter is equally ap-
plicable to land and marine boilers

Ivory Billiard Balls Stained with Blood.
The globe OF ivory which is knocked
about a table in game of billiards costs,
If of good quality. at least $40. This rep
| resents its cost In money. There Is,
however. a far more important and for
midable element in the price which has
been paid for it. The billiard ball OF
pure ivory represents as it lies white
and glistening upon the cloth an expend-
iture Of human lifeblood IA well as Of
money.
Elephants tusks are brought down to
1.-THE African coasts by general
ly in charge of Arabs. which have been
trading in the interior. Very often they
have picked up slaves rs well as ivory.
But this phase Of the matter may be left
ont of the account.
1t is estimated that every large carayan
bringing ivory to the coast has cost mo-
than 1850 human lives through fights and
murders in the course of the expedition.
Thirty more men are likely to have sue
cumbed to fevers or other diseases and
the fatigues Of the march. +,
AHO hunting VI tAp S3CpuLivo 1itN eho
capture of the ivory are very likely to
have caused the death of 10 men alto
gether. Such. casualties are the rule
In elephant hunting rather than the ex-
ception.
An average tusk does not furnish more
than enough material for two good bill
lizard balls. OF course the remainder Of
the ivory in each tusk is made use Of in
other ways. A perfectly cut billiard ball
requires special quality or so called
nerve" which is found only in one part
Of the tusk.
The chances are that o billiard bali Of
the first quality has cost at least n hui
man life. and there is mot one such ball
which may not truly be said to be
stained with human blood. They al
hardly b. considered. therefore. . cheer
