Soldiers Exempt From Prosecution.

A civil court ut Salt Lake City has estab-
llshed precedent by deciding that soldier
tried by court martial for killing a man and
acquitted, is exempt from prosecution fol
the same offence by civil court. The case
was that of Lieutenant B. 3. Buck, Of the
Sixteenth Infantry, stationed ut Fort
Douglas, Utah, who II June last ordered
civilian, who was crossing the reservation to
halt, and on no attention being paid to the
order, and there being suspicion against him,
the Lieutenant ordered two enlisted men to
shoot, and the civilian WAS fatally wounded.

General McCook's orders and acquitted,

HIBERNlA BANK.
A High-CIass Institution of Wide
Fame

The Hibernia Savings Bank is one OF the ill.,
stitutions which are the boast of Californiaps
as the equal of any savings bank in The United
States Only one or two In the country exceed
in the amount OF its deposits, but none stand
higher than the Hibernia in the conservatism
OF It's management or the ability with which
its enormous accumulations are handled.
The Hibernia was started in a modest way
In 1859 when the population began TO settle
down and the need of savings bank began
TO manifest itself Popularity was acquired In
stanfy. Business rapidly increased, and before
many years il had to be removed to the more
spacious quarters at Montgomery and Post
streets. For years its enormous transactions
were conducted there until last year, when 1t
again removed TO the spacious and palatial
structure which il has erected on the corner of
Market, McAllister and Jones streets. where
lis future career will probably be conducted for
all time tn come.
The volume of the transaction OF the Hiberna
Savings and Loan Society can be gathered
from the last report of the State Board OF Bank
Commissioners on September 26, 1892. On
that day its resources amounted TO $50. 517,

ARTIFICIAL STONE.
The Unequaied Work of George
Goodman.

George Goodman, patentee and manufacturer
OF artificial stone for stone walks, has been so
long resident of San Francisco that 1t seems
almost supertluous % speak of him In busi-
ness connection. but he deserves more than
ordinary distinction as one of the first men who
had the sagacity TO see the utility OF the inven-
ton which has made his name famous and
given to him generous fortune.
Mr.. Goodman has been resident OF this city
Tor many years, arriving in 1855, long before
The growth OF San Francisco to its present
dimensions was apprehended even by the few.
Those were the days when the present and not

The predominant occupation was solely and ex-
clusiveiy the search for gold. Mr.. Goodman,

ACTIVITIES, joined the throng and went to the

RUBBER FROM OIL.
A Recent Important Discovery Which
Has Been Kept a Secret.
Manufacturers p annrd


a most unique manufacturing establish
ment, the only one OF its kind in the
world, has been in operation successfully
for some months at Savannah, Ga, writes
c. B. Warrand. Here cotton-seed oil is
manufactured by secret process into rub
Der; such. at least, some of the best ex-
perts have pronounced the product of the
factory to be. Nobody knows anything
about what is going on inside of the fac
tory with the exception of few ignorant
wnrkmen. Nobody is admitted. The bare
facts alone are known that crude cotton
Sc d oil from the oilmill, costing about so
cents gallon, or about S135 per ton, is
carted in in tiye-tOn lots. and that tons of
rubber. worth about ST. per pound, or $1,000
per ton, are carted out and shipped to
very prominent rubber-dealer and manu-
facturer of Boston.
In a recent interview the discoVerer of
the process, who Is an artist of some rrom-
iDence. states that while experimenting
with cottOn-seed oil to produce a varnish
for paint tinge. he obtained product en-
tirely foreign to his expectatons-not a
way TO make varnish, but rubber. He
claims that his process is so simple that if
is not patentable; hence his only safe
guard is in the secrecy of the process. The
only information he gives is that he uses
only 10 per cent of genuine rubber to pro-
duce an article which cannot liz any way
be distinguished from crude indiarubber.
As soon as his discovery was made he
went at once to Boston, where number
of rubber experts pronounced the prod
uct TO be genuine rubber and would
not believe that such an article
could be produced by artificial means.
A prominent rubbeT-goods manufacturer
of Boston recognized at once the value of
The discovery and took different view
from the rest. and purchased ansinterest in
the process and placed $4,000 al the com
mand of the discoycrer Tor the purpose of
erecting the necessary plant. The ex-
isteuee and availability of the rubber trees
are limited. and il is doubtful if much higher
prices than the present quotations would
have the effect of causing a corresponding
increase in the production. Artificially
planted rubber trees would require many
years before they could be made to yield,
and the present rubber forest Is deteriorai-
ing fast Any discoveries in the line of a
quick and cheap process for the manu-
facture of artificial rubber are likely. there
fore, to possess great commercial value
and Importance.

LOADED WITH EXPLOSIVES.
An Apparently Abandoned Boat
Which Surprised Chilean Crew.
Harper's Young Peol

Toward the close of the recent war be-
tween Chile and Perm the Peruvians found
themselves quite shut in from the outside
world by the Chilean blockadng feet that
lay off the harbor of Callao. With two
exceptions the Peruvian navy had all been
captured or destroyed by the enemy, and
these two remaining ships, vessels of low
speed and little power, were moored be-
bind the breakwater. absolutely useless for
purposes of war. With all their power of
opposing the enemy gone, the Peruyians
turned their attention toward DESTROYING
some of the hostile ships that Law
few miles off, a constant menace to the
city of Callao. Frequent futile ATTEMPTS
were made to blow up the Chilean cruisers
with torpedoeS, but the Chileans were too
alert, and succeeded In avoiding or destroy-
ing the deadly missiles.
One forenoon the picket vessel Of the
Chilean fleet, small steam guuboat. was
cruising inshore to take near look at the
town and Notifications. While staaminp
slowly along boat was discovered drift
ing down with the current. A near in
spectlon proved it TO be fine new whale
boat, with oars and sails and complete ont
ut. The commander OF the Chilean steamed
close up to the boat and ordered
tackles rugged for hosting the prize
on board. The tackles were hooked,
and the men on deck walked
away to the pine of the boatswain's
whistle. Suddenly, as the boat left the
water. terrific explosion took place, tear
ing the boat TO atoms, and crushing in the
gunboats side at the water line, so Ihatshe
filed and sank. leaving her startled crey
struggling in the water. Most of them
were rescued by boats from the for
eign men-of-war lying near, but some
were never seen again. The boat
was cunningiY devised weapon,
having a double bottom filled with
a powerful explosive, with a fuse and de-
tonator connected to the bolts to which the
tackles hooked. When the strain came on
the oolts. as the boat rose from the water,
the fuse was igpited and the explosion
followed.
