Washinn Smoke.

The inventor of new method Of banish-
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 a revolving cylinder into tank
filed with water. Perforated beaters are
affixed to the back of the cylinder, and
these drop into the water and scrub or wash
the smoke. watch 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 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.
IL is an interesting fact that the black cx-
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.-

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 1t 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 n theodolite-
that is, with circles reading altitude and
azimuth-or by slight adjustment he may
have the equatorial mounting where the
circles read right ascension and declination.
This end Is gained by hinging what would
bo the polar axis on TO u 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 top of the stand sup
plies a means OF clamping this axis and
giving it slight adjustment. With the
axis vertical, we have then practically
theodoite mounting. With the axis out
of the vertical, a parallactic mounting. 1t
is needless to say that this mounting IL
only for small telescopes and indeed its ap-
plication to large ones is not needed

Base Ball Echoes.

The terrible accident to catcher Bennett
has made big hole in the playing
strength of the Boston club and President
Soden is hustling himself to fill the gap.
Friday he received letter from Jack
Ryan of last seasons Springfield team,
and formerly of the Providence club, say
ing that he would like to sign with
the champions for the coming season.
AS the Springfield club is member OF
the national agreement the Boston club
will have to pay $500 for Ryan's release
before doing business with him. Buster
BurreIl, who did such good work for Fall
River last season, was wanted, but he has
signed to go to Minneapolis in the
Western league. This is where Burrell
missed the chance of a lifetime.
President Soden has good opinion OF one
OF the crack college catchers who is up to
the best league form, and possible Tenny of
Brown may play with the champions next
season.

Business Shows Improvement.

According to Dun and Bradstreet,
business has improved during the week.
The gain is no larger in speculative
markets, but is the only kind OF
improvement that has in it the possi-
bilties of lasting, because il is based upon
actual increase In the production i'm
dustry. The tide has actually turned.
The market yesterday was a traders
market, very duh, but with no pressure
to sell. AS bears were. not aggres-
sive the noon traders bid prices
up all around In the afternoon and the
close was fairly strong, through i'm some
cases somewhat below the best prices.
In the iron trade, prices OF manufac-
tured material have touched lower level
the past week than they have at all. The
exceptional rates offered have stimulated
inquiries, and will doubtless result
in more business. The output, which
has been down to 80 per cent, has some
what increased since the first OF the year,
and IL would seem that the lowest point
OF production has been reached and passed
and that from this time on there will be
gradual movement towards normal con-
dtions.
At meeting yesterday OF bondholders
OF the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, n
branch OF the Atchison system, at which
81 ,399, 900 was represented, IL was resolved
to form an association to protect the in
terests OF bondholders and statutes were
accordingly agreed upon.

Certain of the interests which are seek

gram on basis of $1,000, 900

to ask the government to accept 2 per
cent. bond and other bondhold-
ers the remainder of uni
form issue at higher rate.
An effort will be made to have the new
bonds accepted as a basis for either
National or State banks circula-
tions. This issue would be about
$500, ,OO0, 600. AS Union Pacific
in its best years has earned sl4, 500, 900 net,

Being desirous of learning the actual needs
OF our brethren inithe westernmost lodges, in
order that we may take steps to relieve any
existing distress OF probable destituton, will
you please give at once answers to the follow
ing questions: Is there likely to be want
and destitution among the members Of your
lodge which the lodge cannot relieve? How
many needy brothers have you? VIII CASTOR
clothing which can be collected among our
more favored lodges be acceptable? While II is
not likely that we shall be able to distribute
any large sums Of money, we are anxious to
do all that lies in our power to assure our
unfortunate members and lodges OF our deep
sympathy with them in their time Of dis
couragement. No appeal for assistance was
presented to the grand lodge at its late ses-
sion and no steps were taken by that body
to anticipate any probable want among the
lodges, but the grand officers correspondence
with the brethren unmistakably indicates
widespread apprehension among the western
brethren"

HE THRAsuED THE INSPECTOR
Councilman Holmes Would Not Have His
Work Crltlcised-shots Fired.

Councilman Holmes Would Not Have His
Work Crltlcised--Shots Fired.
Yesterday shortly after noon the vicinity
about Twenty fourth and Lake streets was
considerably shaken up by fight that oc-
CURED between Councilman Holmes and a
building inspector. -
Holmes is the contractor for building that
is being put up on the west side Of Twenty
fourth street, just south of Lake. The spec
ifcatons were made by Architect Pat
Creedon. The building does not appear
above the ground now, but couple q weeks
ago 1t was one story in the air. When 1t
had reached that height the inspector ap-
peared on the scene and discovered that the
building was not being put up strictly ac-
cording t. the specifications. He sought out
Holmes and pointed out the fact to him.
Some talk was had, but the story came down.
Yesterday the inspector again made an eX-
animation and found that the work was again
not according to the specifications. He
called the attention of Holmes to the matter.
For awhile they talked but they soon came
to blows. No one interfered, and spectators
say that when the fight was finished the in
spector was badly worsted. After bringing
about this satisfactory result Holmes walked
down the street. The inspector pulled him
self together and sought to even up matters
by shooting at his c-nquerer as he marched
along. He fired two shcts, but neither took
effect.
No arrests were made. Neither OF the bel
ligerents could be found last evening, ant
the name of the inspector could not bt
learned.
