Utilizing Old Barrels.

The Standard Oil Company has over
500, 900 second hand barrels at its
Point View Oil Works, in Philadelphia,
where they are reiitted by large num-
ber of coJpers.
The barrels are gathered up in all
parts of the Old World and brought
across the Atlantic to be used for fur
ther shipment. At the shops in this
country they are renewed with hoops
ana broken slaves, aud then glued and
filed with refined oil for the home mar
ket. Formerly secondhand barrels
were used the second time for export
shipments, but in the last few years all
those that are brought back empty are
afterward used in the domestic trade.
There are now several large vessels
on the way across, loaded with empty
oil barrels. Besides these there are
thousands of secondhand barrels gath
cred up in all parts of this country. Some
are brought here and Others are seat to
the refinery in Cleveland, but the bulk
is taken to the Eastern oil works.
The export as we'll as the import
transportation of refined oil is mostly all
in tank ears and in tank vessels over the
ocean. The transportation os the refined
oil from here is getting less every day.
The average is not more than 200 barrels
a day, aud this is nearly all taken away
in bulk. All the new oil barrels that
are made around here are turned out at
the Workhouse and they are all taken to
the Beaver Creek Refinery. York

OUR ANGLt.s.

We love to think they lingcr with us still,
That when our souls are full of longings
deep.
They come about us at their own sweet will
And steal into our being, soft as sleep.
Shall they not come whose sympathies were
ours
The friends we loved most tenderly and
true
Whose graves are fresh with springs first
offered flowers
And benedictions of the summer dewI
We long have kept the chambers of our
hearts
Garnished and swept with sacred care for
And memory boards, as year by year
departs,
Their love and friendship as a precious
gem.
We may not see them with our mortal
vision,
Nor bear the music they have just begun;
Still they may come to speak Of fields
Elysian,
Or guide us TO them When our work is
done.
Spirits intangible-we know they conei
When our life tumults for a moment
cease;
They speak to us although their lips are
dumb,
And the great silence has cry of peace
U tender are the words OF Christ, that oat
Full argosies of love on times wide sea
More musical than Israfilrs note
More loving than mothers lullaby
More beautiful than any face or form.
Dearer than fame or loves divine bshest-
Sweeter than sunshine after days Of storm
Are their still voices from a land of rest.
These are our augels-nesh and blood no
more,
AS ere we laid them in our kindred earth:
And yet our souls may reach them gone
before,
And gather strength from beings Of new
birth.
These are our angels, for love cannot die,
Nor yet in heaven its tender Iips BE-
dumb
Our heralds; who will watch, and fondly cry
In the great presence, 80, our friends

Science is pressing relentlessly on the
heels of the micro5e, notes the Chicago
News Record: "rhe latest method ot
coping with this minute but potent
source of disease is to literally cast it
out of the abiding place in which it has
installed itself. Micro. organisms con-
tain substances for the most part heavier
than water, and this fact has led to the
introduction of method OF separating
them from water, milk and other liquids
by centrifugal force. A speed OF about
1000 revolutions minute serves to clear
a large number of microbes from the
liquid aud render it limpid."

It is said that men faint less frequently

The extent Of the oscillation Of tall

observation of the shadows they cast on

The incandesceut light is yellow light
just as gas is, aud colors canuos be de-
tected by it any better than they can by
ordinary gas or lamp light.
A slit in a piece of paper, even though
1t be not more than one forty -thousandth

transmit light to the human eye.
On many of the railways in Germany
the practice OF starting locomotive fires

adopted and proves economical.
White OF "Irish" potatoes are now

A law has been enacted in Ontario,
Canada, forbidding the spraying or

A remarkable discovery in the domain
of medical science is reported from
Vienna. Doctor X. l.. Scleich claims
that the results obtained by the use of
chloroform and cocaine may be secured
by subcutaneous injections Of a solution
of sugar or salt, or even Of simple cold
distilled water, while the Ill effects that
sometimes follow applications of tho
former are avoided. This calm, it is as
serted, is based upon a series Of expert
meuts, and some medical authorities are
said to be satisfied of the genuineuess of
the claim.
The assertion that the temperature Of
the earth increases about one degree for

Tobacco and Microbes.

DR.. Tassinari has published in the
Italia Termale the result of an investi-
cation into the effects of tobacco smoke
on microbes. He finds that the smoke
of the Cavour, Virginia and Tuscan CT
gars and all black and chopped tobaccoa
possesses q very pronounced bactericide
power, especially against the bacillus Of
Asiatic cholera. This microbicide action
may in all probability be attributed to
the products Of nicotine. In epidemica
Of cholera and typhus the use of tobacco
may be rather useful than hurtful. To
bacco smoke merits special consideration
on the hygiene Of the mouth as pro.
phylactic means Of combating microbian
affections of the buccal cavity.

A CELESTIAL Tramp.

A new comet has appeared and set the
astronomers thinking and investigating.
It came unheralded and was disccrnible
to the naked eye before the astronomers,
always active in securing the heavens in
the hope Of discovering something, were
aware of its advent. Now that they
know Of its existence, they are endeavor-
ing to account for it, ascertain how far
it is from the earth, in what direction it
is moving and how rapidly. To the
naked eye this comet, which is in the
constellation Lynx, has the appearance
of large, dim star. The astronomers
are able to see tail, which they say APP
pears to be about two degrees in length.
The determination Of its real length is
dependent upon its distance from the
earth which has not yet been computed,
It is not known whether it is stranger,
or whether it is a comet returning to the
solar system after wanderiDgs in other
sidereal systems.

great abilities, with sweetness, great
modesty and shyness. Most noble lords

was modest. He thought himself so fa1
