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 retitted by large num-
ber of coopers.
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, and 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 cars 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
day, and this is nearly all taken away
in bulk. All the new oil barrels that
are made around here are turned out at
the Workhouse aud they are all taken to
the Beaver Creek Refinery. York

OUR ANolt.s.

We love to think they linRcr 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 arst
offered flowers
And benedictIons Of the summer dewI
We long have kept the chambers Of our
hearts
Garnished and swept with sacred care for
them,
And memory boards, as year by year
departs,
Their love and friendship as 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
Eysiau,
Or guide us 10 them When our work is
done.
Spirits intangible--we know they comei
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.
tender are the words of Christ, that fl pat
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 land of rest.
These are our angels-Hesh 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 lips bs
dumb
Our heraids; who will watch, and fondly cry
In the great presence 10 our friends,
they comet

lotson, the driver, kept his insecure seat
as If he was a part of the vehicle itself,
and with every motion OF the coach his
body moved with sinuous gracefulness.
"Steady now, boys, steady" he
shouted to the double team of plungiug
horses. "We want to make good time,
but 'twontaao to smash the company s
coach to pieces. Whoa, nowl We amt
got no load this time, but that amt no
reason for bein' reckless. Look out for
the DEVILS Cut, It's rough there. Yell
stumble yerself. Git up there. 1 told
ye so."
He jerked one of the stumbling horses
to his feet so suddenly that the animal
was scarcely awsre of his fall; but the
speed OF the wild, galloping team was
CHECKED by the slight misbap.
"That'll bring ye to your senses il any
thin. Now take it easier. Don't be
smashin things to pieces so. Yen get
enough of it when ye reach the level.
Ye're the most determined critters that
ever drew line behind, an ef We don't
break your necks some day on these
slopes I'm missin' my guess. Ef we had
some passengers inside they'd be scared
half out of their wits. But we amt.
No, nothin' but gold, aud lots OF it.r
The driver jerked his head around aud
looked at the big, square box, which
contained the precious treasure of the
company. 1t was a common looking
box, but strongly rlvete1 aud bound.
1t was close up to the driver so that he
could touch it with his feet.
"a mighty big sup," he muttered
aloud, ''an' putty responsible load Tor

it they'd be holdln' me up round here.
1t would be worth the risk. But then
Ben Tillotson has never yet been caught
nappin', an there amt many who would
care to try him. It would be dangerous.
Yes, sir, it would"
He tapped his heavy revoIvers as he
spoke and glanced detantly around him.
The coach had nearly reached the valley,
and was rolling along at an easier gait.
''Hal hal what an idee,' suddenly
laughed Ben loudly. "Hold up myself.
That would be great, right here in this
dark canyon, an then tell 'em man
robbed the coach. No lie bout that.
They'd believe it, fo= I've always been
SO trustworthy. Well, we'll, could
chuck the box into the bushes an come
back for it later"
The idea seemed to please the driver,
and he smiled broadly as he continued to
think OF it.
"There would be plenty of ways out
of it. The box would never be found
here, an Ben Tllotson would be rich.

ance, since Its essence is indispensable in
the manufacture of numerous perfumes
and medical preparations. The spot
referred to is Reggie, in Calabria, that
extremity of the Italian peninsula which
is familiarly known as the "toe of the
boot" Mr.. Kerrich suggests that there
is good chance here for enterprisiug
capitalists of getting a highly profitable
monopoly of the bergamot tree by buying
up from the producers all that they ex-
tract. At present the Reggie bergamot
suffers both in quality aud reputation

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Southern factories are making paper
from palmetto.
Liebig, the chemist, says the human
body is composed OF air condensed and
uucondensed.
It is said that men faint less frequently
than women because their imagination is
slower Of action than it is with the fair
sex.
The extent Of the oscillation Of tall
ohimneys may be exactly taken by close
observation of the shadows they cast on
the ground.
The incandescert light is yellow light
just as gas is, aud colors cannot be de-
tected by it any better than they eau by
ordinary gas or lamp light.
A slit in a piece of paper, even though
il be not more than one forty -thousandth
Of an inch in width, is sufficient to
transmit light to the human eye.
On many of the railways in Germany
the practice of starting locomotive fires
with gas instead of wood has been
adopted and proves economical.
White OF ''Irish" potatoes are now
used extensively in the manufacture Of
buttons, BY means Of certain acids po-
tatoes can be hardened to almost the re-
sistance of stone.
1t is asserted that waterproof sheets of
paper, gummed aud hydraulically COM
pressed, make a material as durable as
leather for the soles of shoes. 1t also
makes serviceable horseshoes.
A special commission at Toulou,
France, has decided against the use of
petroleum as fuel on torpedo boats. Out
of ten cans of petroleum experimental

The lungs will contain about one gall
lon of air at their usual degree Of lnaa-
ton. We breathe on an average 1900
times per hour, inhale 900 gallons of air,
or "a, 900 per day. The aggregate sur
face of the air cells of the lungs exceeds
20, 900 square inches, an area very nearly
equal the floor of a room twelve feet

A law has been enacted in Ontario,
Canada, forbidding the spraying or
sprinklng of fruit trees while they are in
bloom with any mixture containing Paris
green or other substances poisonous or
injurious to bees. Toe object OF the
legislation is to protect the bees from
harm, the honey from possible faint OF
poisoning, and to avoid possible obstacles
to complete fertilization Of the fruit.
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 solution
of sugar or salt, or even of simple cold
distilled water, while the Ill effects that
sometimes follow applications of the
former are avoided. This claim, it is as
serted, is based upon series OF expert
ments, and some medical authorities are
said to be satisfied of the genuineuess of
the claim.
The assertion that the temperature oi
the earth increases about one degree fol

not true for all localities. In some shafts
sunk in mines the increase is one degree

temperature of the earth's crust.

Science is pressing relentlessly on the
heels of the microbe, notes the Chicago
News Record: ''rhe latest method OF
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 a minute serves to clear
large number of microbes from the

The Presidents Attitude.
By Associated Press to The News


WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-President
Cleveland absolutely refuses to
consent to grant any concessions in
the silver fight, says the Post.
More than this, he will not promise
to agree to any recognition of silver
even should the repeal bill be passed
by congress. This is the sum and
substance of his position as re.
ported by senators who had confer.
ences with him yesterday.
1t renewed the confidence of
friends Of unconditional re.
peal who asserted last evening
the unwavering faith in the final
passage of the measure. With the
understanding that the president in
upon the platform of unconditional
repeal or nothing, the senators have
settled mselves down for a long
siege. In the meanwhile the Dem
ocrats in the senate, who are con.
cerned for their party, will make a
careful canvass and SEQ if votes can
not be secured for some m. asure
that will command sufficient votes
to ensure its passage. There will
be plenty of time to make this poll,
for enough speeches are already in
course of preparation to occupy
three or four weeks, if they arc
needed They will not be delivered
in their length entirety if at any
moment the votes necessary to the
passage of some concession are &C.
cured.

PARIS, Sept. o.-The story of

There is no doubt that France il

fore England's firm attitude in the
Siam dispute, and there is still less
doubt that the French govern

Much irritation is felt against Fog
land from the fact that it is admit
ted that she is supporting if not ad
vising Siam in the dilatory attitude
the latter country has assumed in
the treatment of the concessions
made to. France. In consequence
the French newspapers are squirting
the government to make a deter
mined effort to teach England not
TO interfere with the colonial policy
of France.
