Valuable Waste.

"Refners of nitrate-of silver for the use of photographers, said one of the profession, "have agents travelling con- stantly about the country collecting the waste clippings of sensitized paper that accumulate in every photograph gal lery. They buy all they can find and pay for it in new nitrate, allowing the photographer good round price for his waste. The waste is shipped to the re- liners, where the nitrate in the paper is separated fire In it by chemical processes and prepared for market again. This re-refined nitrate is as good as it was originally and is sold for just as much. The reiners, of course, make a big profit out of the waste, and the pho tographer is able to get good supply of material for the scraps that would otherwise be of no use to him.
 "When one thinks of the great num- Der of photograph galleries and studios in the country and the fact that the waste paper of them all is closely gath cred by the refners at price that will average Sl pound, he may get some idea of the proportions of a business that is utterly unknown outside of the persons directly interested. Not only the scraps of silver sensitized paper, but those of the paper treated with solutions of gold are eagerly sought by the re6ners, and the photographer is always very glad to exchange his ac- emulation of, to him, worthless waste for a neat stock of valuable nitrate.

THE Italians are preparing to celebrate worthily the three hundredth anniversary of the immortal Pier-Luigi, or Palestrina, as he is now universally known from the name of his native city. The creator of sacred music-for such he was-was born in February, 1894. The proposal of his Italian admirers is to complete the restora- ton of the cathedral where Palestrina was baptised and where his first musical efforts were heard. The music of the great medi- sval composer has never been surpassed for dignity and beauty, and though mod ern music is a much more complex affair, the tone-givers of later years acknowledge their debt to the older master. Gounod and Wagner in particular have acknowl- edged their admiration for the genius of Palestrina. Palestrina's compositions, which are only heard in perfection in Rome, are usually for six voices, moving in six independent parts, and they are without orchestral accompaniment. liar mony in the sixteenth century was very simple. The diminished seventh, with out which neither Wagner nor Weber, as composers, could have existed, was un- known. and even the harmless, necessary dominant seventh" was either ignored or looked upon with suspicion. The parts, however, in Palestrina's scores were written for the best notes of each particu- lar voice, and a six note chord of Palestrina is admirable, not by reason of any ingenuity or originality, but on ac- count of the beauty and simplicity of the vocal tones comprised in it.

pr. Porsch Seeks to Establish Its Manufac-
 ture In This Country.
 Dr. Ottakar Porsch, an Austrian chem ist, is the man who made the production of smokeless gunpowder in large quanti- ties possible by perfecting the method of manufacturing acetone, the powders main ingredient-that is to say, it is the main ingredient of the best smokeless powder, such as is used in Austria and Germany. The French use ether of ace- tone in their mellinite, but this has been found to be hygroscopic-tha is to say, it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, thus creating an opaque vapor or gas that is almost as annoying as smoke.
 The French are still experimenting with mellinite, hoping to perfect it, but the Austrians have already got rid of the hygroscopic quality. thanks to the discovery of Dr. Porsch, who is now in the United States with the object of es- tablishing the manufacture of his pow der here. Hitherto our government has had to buy all the smokeless powder it has used from European manufacturers at 8 much greater cost than it could have been made at home if any one here knew how to make it.
 The raw material for the manufacture of acetone exists in the United States in untold quantities. Itis simply product of the dry distillation of the wood of the

The Clever Rrahnlan,

Speaking of the great power the Brahmans in India possess ill localizing thought, Purushotam Aor Telang said the other day: We would consider a game of chess as played in this country mere child's play. An ordinary Brah- man chess player could carry on three or four games at time without incon- venience. The usual game played by the Brahmans consists in checkmating with one pawn, designated when the play begins. have seen a man perform long problem in multiplication and di- vision, at the same time noting the va rious sounds and discussions going on about him in the room. 1 have seen a man compose triple acrostic in San skrit in given meter, at the same time having three well versed men trying to overthrow him in his argument on re- ligion.

York, Newport and Baltimore society. At the tableaux vivants given in the Madison Square assembly rooms for charity in New York last April Miss Morris impersonated Queen Louise of Prussia. The living picture she appeared in was arranged after Muller's celebrat- ed painting, which was afterward among the exhibits in the Art building at the Worlds fair. In the tableauX Miss Nor ris represented the beautiful queen ar rayed in an empire gown of surpassing loveliness and standing in a most pictur- esque pose on marble stairway.
 She was rapturously applauded, and her beauty created furore among the society people present. The Morris fam fly is one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Maryland and as Gebhard is millionaire the young couple are well provided with this worlds goods. Since Gebhard was first smitten with the ori- ole beautys charms three years ago he has been a changed man. He is reputed to have forsworn all malt and spiritu- ous liquors, turned his back on fast liv- ing and become as steady as the pro verbal clock. In other words, he has en- tirely retired from the wild oats business, and as he is said to be young man of actual ability and worth as well as wealth he will doubtless fill the role of Benedict very acceptably.

Is the Collar Clean?

A writer in the New York Tribune cautions inexperienced housekeepers con- corning the importance of cleanliness in every department of the house as sani- tary necessity. He says:
 Many a careful young mother who guards her little ones with the most jeal- ous care, and who oversees every detail connected with their we'll being, would be greatly surprised if she were told that if she would give less attention to the nursery and more to the cellar, for in- stance, her children would have fewer colds and sore threats.
 How many of our young danes, we wonder, visit daily all the underground portions of their houses. the dark closets, the passageways and, above all, the eel lar? And yet it is just those places that may affect the air of the whole house. The plumbing and drainage of the dwell ing ill the basement are of the greatest importance, and bad air ill the cellar may cause unpleasant throat troubles during the entire winter. It behooves every housekeeper, therefore, to see that the cellar is kept with as scrupulous care as the drawing room.
 In the first place it should be white
 
 washed every year. Lime ill itself is a disinfectant, and it makes it much cleaner and lighter. Any servant can whitewash with suitable brush, and the whitewash itself is easily made in the following way: Put quarts of un- slaked lime in an old tub. Pour tea kettleful of boiling water on it and clap a cover immediately over the tub. When cold, add enough water to make it of the consistency of milk, little bluing and handful of salt and beat it we'll. The windows in the cellar should be washed frequently, and on every fine, sunshiny day let them stand open an hour or so. The floor, too, must be cleaned two or three times during the winter, and if the cement is broken it should be filled in. A well ventilated, clean cellar is of the first importance, and yet it is generally the last thing considered.

beech tree, and in all those parts of America where beeches grow ill large numbers it's manufacture is perfectly feasible and ought to be highly remuner- ative. How to do it properly is what Dr. Porsch comes over to show us.
 The doctor is native of Vienna and is about 43 years of age. He studied chemistry at the Polytechnic academy at Prague and took his degree of doctor of philosophy there. He is an authority on industrial chemistry and has written an exhaustive work on the methods of dye ing, printing and finishing textile fabrics. He has devoted some years to practical researches in the process of dry distilla- ton of wood-.-a process containing un- bounded possibilities for the future so far as chemical manufactures are con- cerned.
