The inventor of new method of Danish
ing the smoke nuisance from cities using
soft coal seems to have hit on profitable
way of evolving the raw material of two or
three industries. He simply washes the
smoke. First, the smoke is drawn from the
stack by powerful fan and then forced
through revolving cylinder into tank
filed with water. Perforated heaters are
affixed to the back of the cylinder and
these drop into the water and scrub or wash
the smoke, which is conducted back into the
chimney in the form of perfectly pure va
por. The solid carbon which is washed
from the smoke appears at the bottom of
the tank as a black, foaming froth. The
arrangement of the apparatus allows an
inspection of the washing process and OF
the vapor, which after being cleansed is
perfectly white and odorless and is thrown
through the chimney into the air as steam
1t is an interesting fact that the black ex
tract is admirably adapted for use in the
composition Of paint and printing ink
while the ammoniated water remaining
after the process of washing possesses the
properties of a powerful disinfectant.-S

Mr.. John Kernel, after a performance in
Chicago one night, met very seedy look
ing man, who approached him and said,
while handing him IA piece of paper, '1've
been waiting for three months to run
across you somewhere and present that. "
Kernel looked at the paper with some
curiosity. 1t proved to be "a bill for $40.
why" said John, II don't owe you any
money. never saw you before"
"Oh, but you're responsible for my los
ing that amount replied the self declared
creditor. Last summer | was at the
Sheepshead Bay races and had good
thing-a 80 to l shot. was just going to
put up s. when you came along You
looked SO dismal | thought you'd hoodoo
my bet, sure, so | put up only 81. The
horse won in spite OF your Jonah look, and
| got $50. If it hadn't been for you, I'd
have put up the s. and won $3.50. Don't
you think you owe me the ditference?'
II think | owe you a slap in the face for
your nerve" said Kernel.
well, I'll tell you what I'll do, said the
seedy man; I'm compromise on a drink Of
whisky. That's fair enough
John bought him the drink and made
him receipt the bill, which the comedian
shows as evidence of the truth of his story.

Uses of Peanuts.

If you grind the goober, you get a sweet
quality of -four, with which the housewife
makes delicious biscuit. If you squeeze it.,
you will obtain a valuable oil, resembling
olive oil, and used for similar purposes
This oil also enters largely into the manu-.
facture of the better grades of soap. The
kernels are roasted for coffee. The roasted
kernels are also used in the manufacture of
some kinds of chocolate. The confectioner
helps to ruin our digestion in boyhood days
with peanut candy, The Georgia cook alone
knows how to make rich pastry of pounded
peanuts. The artist, with paint brush,

A Universal Telescope stand.

The construction of good and simple
universal mounting for small telescopes
has been the aim of many instrument max
ers, and it is pleasing to note an advance in
this direction made by firm in Vienna
In their new so called universal station"
they have overcome many of the main diff
fculties. The chief point about this special
kind of mounting is that the observer can
either use the telescope as theodolite-
that is, with circles reading altitude and
azimuth-or by Il slight adjustment he may
have the equatorial mounting where the
circles read right ascension and declination.
This end is gained by Ringing what would
be the polar axis on to a pivot at the side
of the stand, thus allowing the axis to be
moved from the horizontal to the vertical
or any intermediate position. A strong
metallic arc fixed on the topof the stand sup
plies means of clamping this axis and
giving it a slight adjustment. With the
axis vertical, we have then practically a
theodolite mounting. With the axis out
of the vertical, parallactic mounting. 1t
is needless to say that this mounting is
only for small telescopes, and indeed its ap.
plication to large ones is not needed

How n Prominent Vicomtesse Recovered a
Package of Love Letters.


\ well known Partisan lady Of unexcep-
tioual social emneuce was anxious TO re-
cover some letters from popular clubman.
whom she had first loved aud then hated.
She addressed herself to the project Of po-
lice ut Paris and induced that functionary

for the infrHction of this statute, if statute
it can be called.
One afternoon the clubman in question
was visiting the annual exhibition of pic
lures at the Cercle de rUnion Artistique,
when suddenly, while in the act Of leaving
the club, he was arrested by two policemen
in civilian dress, hustled into cab aud
driven off to the depot of the prefecture of
police.
There he was kept for "a hours in custody,
and was only released late on the following
day, with IA severe admonition on the part OF

in his buttouhole the light blue and white
rosette of the order of Charles III of Spain

and carefully ransacked his papers-madt

phraseology-a had removed all the let.

Ne let them be just for little while;
We Cannot bear to put them yet away
The vacant high chair of little child,
The torn hat, but worn the other day,
Or the low footstool where our dear ones feet
Had rested or the fathers easy chair,
That never more will hold the manly form
We let them stand; the room would look toe
bare.
We gaze out in the waning, fading light
The books and music mock us in the room;
Our hearts are with that new made grave In
the night,
All dark and shadow haunted in the gloom.
God pity those who wait in vain to hear
The sound of feet that ne'er will tread again
Or long TO kiss white faces hid away
In their deep beds beneath the snow and rain
The wind from out the harp of nature chants
A dirge above them as ii passes by;
The dead leaves tears of autumn, sadly fall
Upon our sleeping ones as still they lie.
Oh, ye who never DER dead loved ones wept,
Who ne'er kissed cold hands and faces white
And held out empty arms and hearts to God
Can never know the pain we feel tonight!

There Is no DEATH The stars go down
To rise upon some earthly shore,
And bright in heavens ieweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no DEATH The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no DEATH The leaves may fall;
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The brdlike voice whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene of sin and strife
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree Of life.
And where he sees a smile too bright
Or hearts too pure for faint and vice
He bears it to that world of light
To dwell in paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With joy we welcome them.the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is lfe-there is no dead
