Extent to Which Human Ingenuity Has
Gone in Turning Dross Into Gold.
Where are we to look for new outlets?
Inventors and discoverers are the saviors
OF society. The Photographic art is mod
ern enough to be useful case in point.
photographers increased fl per cent. from
lSIl to 1881, and 80 per cent. in the follow
ing decade. New industries give rise to
new wastes, and it was not long before 1t
was discovered that the precious metal
used in the developing solutions could be
recovered, or that the yolk Of eggs, whose
white was employed in providing album
lnized paper, need not be thrown away as
valueless, but would realize handsome
prices from pastry cooks.
Inc history of waste products, indeed,
IS extremely instructive and very per-
tlnent to this article. Lord Palmerston
declared that dung was only gold in the
wrong place." In some cases by-prod-
ucts have become the main products.
Gas tar. truly an unprOmlsing material,
now yields numberless products, as
science primer shows.
From even more unlikely sources
scents are obtained. AS Lord Playfair
once said: MANY a fair forehead is
damped with the huile de mille-heurs
without knowing that its essential ingre-
dent is derived from the drainage OF a
cowhouse." To the French belongs the
greatest credit in discovering new means
of making money. The Partisan chitfo-
nier is much sharper than his London
brother, who does queer trade III cigar
ends and old hats, boots, ETC., which are
''faked" TO look as good as new.
1t was Partisan who first utilized old
sardine tins, long regarded as worthless.
He extracted the solder and utilized the
tin in the manufacture of toys and for
beating into furniture. Another Partisan,
an old soldier, collected old crusts and
made them into bread-crumbs for cooks,
and in time started place of business,
whence were supplied croutes au pot, 50
dear to connoisseurs in soups.-London

Chinese Street-Paving.

The street-paving in Canton was of
loose granite slabs laid crosswse, about
nine inches broad and six inches through,
though presenting a somewhat Irregular
surface, the face of each slab was gem
orally worn smooth by the treading of
unshod feet. \ drain ran down the CEN
ter of each street, under the granite slabs.
into which, between the joints, percolated
rain-water, fluid refuse and house sIops.
These liquids ran out into the main tidal
canals which intersected the city, and
when they did not run, as was not in
frequent, the slabs were raised, and the
drains cleaned out.-The Century

After long immunity from the
ravages Of the fiery element, and for
the first time since the water-works
are in operation, the citizens OF
Huntingburg had to conte>, with a
conflagration early Thursday morn
ing.
AT about , O'Clock fire was dis
covered in the double frame build
ing owned by Leonard Brett on
Fifth street, opposite Jos. Birk :
livery stable, which was occupied
by the Cuban Cigar Go. on the east
side. while the west side was used
BY the city fire department for the
storage of reel and 600 feet of
hose. The fire originated in the
room occupied by the cigar factory
Owing to the dry state Of the build
ing. the fire spread so rapidly that
both rooms were cnveloped in
flames before assistance arrived
The frame dwelling adjoining on
the east. occupied by Robt. Green
law and family, and owned by :. G..
Miller, was also abaze before the
fire department arrived.
No one seemed 10 know where
the KEY to the hose reel was kept.
and by the time the doors were bat
tered down the flames had made
such Roadway that il was impossible
10 get at the reel, and it with tn,
600 feet of hose were DESTROYED
Before the fire department arrived
much valuable assistance was rem
dered by Messrs. Adam Stratman
and Jos. Birk, who by the use OF
their sprinkling hose prevented the
fire from spreading farther.
When the fire department arrived
no time was lost attaching the hose
to the hvdrant on the corner Of
Fifth and Van Buien streets and
having water playing on the two
buildings, which by this time were
in full blaze. The department was
successful in combining the fire tol
these two buildings and soon had it
under control.
The loss on the two buildings j.
about 81 200; the amount Of insur-
ance could not be learned.
The Cuban Cigar Go. lost lis en-
tire stock of tobacco and cigars.
Robt. Greenlaw household ef-
fects and wearing apparel were
saved.
The amount of the loss sustained
by the city will be about 800.
The fire is said to have originated
in the dry room of the cigar factory

A large number Of oratorical con-
tests have been held in Dubois
county in the last few years, among
the young people just budding into
womanhood and manhood, and
nearly every neighborhood has some
bright young person who wears
with becoming pride beautiful
gold medal won in some of these
contests. 1t is said by some that
the days Of the triumphs Of divine
oratory are waning, but il they are
certainly some Of Dubois county's
young orators will soon restore its
brilliant prestige. The contests are
certainly an advantage to all the
participants, as it gives them de-
gree Of self confidence that every
one should possess, where great
public questions are often decided
by public discussion of their merits,
and where good oratory-or the
ability to create interest in, and
make arguments thoroughly under
STOOLS most often the open ses-
same to success. 1t is notable
feature, too, in these contests, that
young women often carry off the
honors from members of the sterner
sex, who in the past generation we're
considered as the only possessors Of
the genius Of oratory. Jasper now
has two young ladies who have the
medals-Miss Lizzie Egg, won in
the contest ut Jasper two years ago,
and Miss Mayme Sweeney, who was
awarded the prize at Holland last
week.
The Holland contest was the con-
ception Of Prof II. NJ. Kean, who
deserves great credit for the interest
shown and the success attending his
efforts. There was a large attend
ance Of citizens and eight contest
ants, Frank Katterjohn, Holland !;
Emma Cato, Duff; Lizzie Hemmer,
