Coal Tar.

The announcement is made in the
National Builder that what was at first
considered a doubtful experiment,
VIZ, the use of coal tar as a means of
rendering masonary impervious to
water, especially in positions exposed
to direct contact with the latter, has
proved practically valuable resort
Used as a coating for masonry built
up of very porous stone tar renders it
quite impervious, even at a depth of
some fifty feet of water, and accord
ing to the experience of those who
have had much to do with it the arti-
Gle should be utilized in all public
buildings, particularly those designed
for the preservation of works of art
the diso1ving action of water, even
upon mortar OF superior quality, be-
ing well known, also the unfavorable
effect of the emulation OF water
charged with lime salts from the NOR
tar. Two methods of using the tar
are named. viz, in boiling state IN
one or several 1.y rs. this being suit
able for surfaces exposed to the air.
or it may be made to flame up before
using, this being appropriate to sur
faces which have to be covered up.

when the Liver Reprimands Us

For our neglect of it by in1icting upon US sick
headache, by dyeing the skin yellow, coating
the tongue with fur, producing vertigo, pains
in the right side and souring the breath, we are
little less than lunatics If we disregard the
chastisement. If we call Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters to our aid, tranquility and health fol-
low speedily and with the departure Of the
symptoms mentioned, departs also 1rregularity
of the bowels, which invariably attends disorder
Of the liver. In malarial complaints the liver
is always involved, and it is fortunate circum-
stance that this fine anti-bilious medicine is
also the finest specific in existence for every
form of malarial disease. Nor is it less efhca-
cious for dyspepsia, failure of appetite and
strength, nervousness and rheumatic tend

For working Dry PIacers.

A party of prospectors from Chad
ron Neb., have gone to the Black Hills
to try their luck at mining. In the
party is Jim Boyd, who formerly
worked some dry diggings in gulches
near Custer City, but on account of
lack of water it did'n pay. Ever since,
with that fascination that takes hold
of a man who once shakes gold pan,
he has been figuring how he could get
that gold without working quite so
hard for it. After careful experiments
he has made an air blast machine on
the tanning mill order which he thinks
ought to save most of the gold and the
party went to the old placer diggings
to try it. The machine saved lead and

IN A PIE FACTORY.

How the Dyspepsia PrOvOIrers are Man.
ufactured for the Market.
The largest pie factory in New
England, without dou bt. is located
in Boston, says the Grocery World.
Not only is this bakery on patriotic
soil, but it occupies. in part. an old
church building. In this factory the
average is 10, 900 pies a day, and the
varieties are many. That they are
made with great rapidity goes with
out saying. The manufacture con-
sists chiefly of four processes-pr
pairing the filing. making the crust,
filling the pies and baking them If
mince filing is being made. the meat
is first selected and then cooked in a
steam-jacketed copper kettle that
viii hold a barrel. It is then
chopped by machine that knows
its business, and then mixed with
the apple, beef suet. currants, Cit
ron, spices and brandy. When the
expert mixer gets them all mixed
by the approved rules for mixing,
but never getting mixed himself,
this filing goes to the filler, who,
though always engaged in filling,
never gets full Meanwhile, ano5her
set of men have prepared the crust
huge trough is partially filled
with -four and lard; shortening is
worked into it by fellow dressed in
white, with hair powdered and arms
bare This flour is then changed to
a doughlike consistency by adding
water as near freezing point as pos
sible to make it faky ana mixing it
with the hands.
When the batch is ready it is
taken to the men who roll it out and
put it on the tin plates. The deft-
ness and quickness with which this
is done throws into the shade the
work of a lightning change artist.
Then the pie is filed, and this, too,
is no slow operation. A long-handIed
tin dipper, holding just enough to
charge pie, is seized in one hand
by the operator and the pie in the
other. With dexterous dip into the
barrel of filling and twist of the
arm to lift and invert the dipper
over the pie the work is done An
other set of men in white put on the
covers, and then the pie goes to the
oven, which is marvel. Quite likely
its like suggested the Ferris wheel
at the worlds fair, for that follows
its principles of construction quite
closely. 1t is arranged so that a
big wheel, at least twelve feet long
and sixteen inches in diameter, is
suspended by it's axle in a big
oven, under which is a glowing fire.
Hung from the rims of this wheel, at
e ual distances from each other, are
eight iron platforms. upon which
pies are placed. Such is the manner
of suspension that they always re-
main horizontal This wheel is re-
volved by power. One of these
platforms is before the opening in
the oven, which opening is as large
as the wheel itself. The attendants
cover this platform with pies and
the wheel is turned until the next
comes into view, which is then filled
and so on until the eight have been
supplied. The next turn brings into
view the first lot put in, and they
are ready to take out They are re-
moved and the platform filed again.
The wheel turns and another baked
lot is presented, and so it goes on
day after day, one thousand an hour
taking their course over this pit of
fire.

ous aniline dyes in connection with
their Photographic effect on the salts
of silver where they are exposed to the
light of the solar spectrum, it came to
Mr.. Gifford's notice that the absorption
spectrum of benz-aldehyde green COM
monty known as malachite green, was
a very remarkable one. series of
experiments was then made from
which Mr.. Clifford deduoed the follow
ing claims: 1. 1t gives field of view
uniformly monochromatic. 2. There
is more light than with chrome cop
per solutions. 3. It need not be used
in solution. 4. No bathing of plates
in eTythrosine or cyanin is necessary,
an ordinary rapid plate being suffici-
emily sensitive. Mr. Clifford concludes
his paper with the suggestion that the
application of malachite green might
also be useful for reproducing objects
in their natural colors Sby the Lipp-
mann method but as yet he has made
no experiments in this line.

Grounds for Divorce in ItaIy.

The following are grounds for
which divorces are said to have been
granted by the Italian courts: For
calling his wife's sister a thief; for
beating his wife's pet dog; for con-
stantly chewing tobacco; for cutting
his wife's curls without her con ent;
for refusing to take his wife out for
a walk; for refusing to sew on her
husbands trouser buttons; for fore
ing his wife to sit up until after
midnight; for the wife staying in
bed until noon; for refusing to let
her husband go too near the kitchen
fire on cold day; for dragging her
husband out of bed by the beard for
the wife strolling around town and
shopping instead of attending to her
domestic duties. Law Journal

A Baltimore Tailor and His Family Are
Treated to Lively Experience.
Mysterious electrical, disturbances
have terroriZed Henry KontSchosky, a
tailor, and his worl1men and family, at
their home on Bond street, in Balti-
more. Suddenly Saturday morning
last the three-story building shook as
from an explosion. The tailor and his
ten helpers fed in fright to the street.
No one outside had felt the shock. The
disturbance was followed by fire in
the floor and washboards of the shop.
The fire was quickly extinquished and
the men returned to work. Later the
water pipes were found to be leaking.
A plumber, upon examining them, dis
covered that the solder had melted
where the house pipe joined the main
pipe in the street.
Next morning the house again shook.
A workman sitting with his back
against gas pipe received severe
shock. The water spout down the
front of the house fell to the ground
in pieces, the solder having melted
from the joints. The Washboards and
floor of the house again took fire. Blue
flames shot through the crevices in the
cellar wall. The whole place was
heavily charged with electricity. A
crowd collected in front of the house.
The tailor, his worl1men and family
would not return indoors. Several
electricians began an investigation.
Electrical cars pass the door, and cleo
trio light wires cross the roof. There
is no break, however, in the connec-
tions, and the electrical experts are
puzzled by the phenomena.

Regulator for Hydraulic Steam Pumps

Regulator for Hydraulic Steam Pumps
This regulator may be applied to
any form of hydraulic steam pump, to
control its speed and to stop the pump
when the desired pressure is attained,
the regulation of both speed and pres.
sure being effected very smoothly and
without excessive strains. The en-
craving shows the regulator in posi-
ton in the steam pipe of an ordinary
steam pump. the regulator being
shown partly in section. The i'm
provement has been patented by Mr..
Thomas j. Davis of Charlotte, N. c.
In the valve casting of the regulator
are transverse Iports registering with
ports grooved in the face of a slide
piston valve, whose rod is screwed in
to a sliding crossbar connected to a
plunger. The latter slides in a cylin-
der supported on an arm extending
from the lower steam controlling
valve casing, the cylinder being con-
nected with the water pumped under
pressure. The cross bar is secured to
guide rods secured at their outer ends
to a yoke sliding on pipe connected
with the receptacle into which water
is pumped under pressure, the yoke
being normally pressed outward by a
spring. The pressure of the spring
normally holds collars on the guide
rods against Jugs on the sides of the
cylinder, when the ports of the piston
valve register with the ports of the
