How Carbon Black is Made.


Few readers of books and papers
have any very clear idea OF the
source of the black substance
from which the ink used in print
ing is made. The general idea is
that it is lampblack, the sort
produced in burning resin, turpen-
tine or crude oil with an in
sufficient air supply.
Up to ten years ago this was the
base of all ink used, but since the
wide development OF natural gas
lampblack has been mainly super
seeded in good ink by very
superior article known as carbon
black. This is made entirely from
natural gas in the gas regions OF
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
The factory for it's manufacture
is a very 5 ~ ~" affair, consisting
of a long, low wooden building,
through the whole length OF which
run double rows OF gas pipe eight
or ten inches apart. These have
either holes drilled in them every
ten or twelve inches or small tips,
such as are used in house jets, set
in at about the same distances
and from which the gas burns.
Above each Of these double rows
of jets is placed a long, narrow,
sheet.iron pan about four inches
deep.
A stream of water covering the
bottom Of the pan is kept flowing
steadily by means Of pumps. The
jets are lighted and the big flames
play up against the pan, smoking"
it as piece of cold tin held above
a gas jet would be smoked. Very
little air is allowed to enter, and
as the water keeps the pan COM
paratively cool the deposit Of SCOT
is heavy.
About every half hour sheet
iron car with q scraper above it is
drawn under the pan it's whole
scraping of and collecting
the carbon black.
When the car is full it is
into a large trough, and
the black, which is somewhat
damp, is taken to the dryer, a
broad, shallow pan, with fire be-
meath. When dry the Jumps are
crushed. The substance is then
bolted or sifted coming out rs fine
as flour, and is finally packed in
barrels lined with paper bags to
prevent sitting.
The product is almost pure
carbon of an intense black and
very light. A barrel Of it packed
under a screw weighs only fifty |
pounds.
tits SO much blacker than lamp
black, which has graysih tinge,
that it has two and half times the !
value OF the latter in producing a
given depth Of color.
Beside being used in inks car.
bon black enters into the COM
position Of black paints, varnishes |
and lacquers, gives brilliancy to
stove polishes and forms the body

A Big Strike on Foot in New
York That Will Involve
Thousands.
ENGLAND'S SUPREMACY
In Ship Building Threatened by
Action Of the Trades
Unions.

New YORK, Dec. 14-Another big
strike in the building trades is on, and
has already involved mere men than that
OF the house-smiths, which ended yester-
day. A thousand Knights of Labor,
steam ritters and helpers, members of
the Enterprise Association, are striking
against the Master Steam and Hot Wa
ter Filters ASSOCIATION, to enforce the
ad option OF an annual agreement and
scale of wages and recognition OF the
Steam Filters and Helpers Union. The
strike may involve thousands.
LONDON, Dec. 14-News received from
GLASGOW and Belfast today that the
great strike in the shipbuilding trades
is to be continued, caused a depression
iu stocks and in commercial circles, for
there is no doubt that the supremacy Of
Great Britain in shipbuilding is threat
ened, and large contracts for foreign
warships will, unless there is a change
for the better, shortly go to Germany
and other countries. 1t is believed,
however, the employees will bave to yeild
in the end, as pressure is being brought
to bear on them by the government. in
view of the delay in completing work
for the British admiralty.
GLASGOW, Dec. 4-The engineers, by
ballot, rejected, the employees TERMS
therefore the strike in shipbuildlng Cir
cles believed to have been settled will
be continued.
New YORK, Dec. 14-The question OF
sending fraternal delegates to the inter

ATTORNEY GENERAL HARMoN's first
annual report contains the suggestion
that, except ir capital casee, appeals in
criminal matters should not be taken to
the supreme court, and in order to &C
complish this result he recommends an
sneudment Of the Law to exclude the
words "other infamous crimes" from
the casee subject To appeal to the feder
al court for such resort, and to rem t
minor cases to the courts OF appeal.
The words ''infamous crimes" have OBJ
tanned q rather broad Interpretation in
practice, and In consequence the supreme
court is burdeped with an amount of
apallate business which might be and
should be disposed of by subordinate
federal tribunals. The attorney general
also suggest the correction of growing
abuse OF the writ of ha5eas corpus, by
which tie time of the supreme court is
unwarrsntably wasted. Proceedings IN
state courts are now absolutely stayed
by section of the revised statutes pend
ing appeals from the circuit courts on
writs of habeas corpus, which may be
taken as of right. In this way persons
convicted in state courts succeed IN
securing repeated delays of execution
The attorney general suggest as cor
rection OF this evil that az allowance oi
stay from the supreme court or 6
judge thereof be required, at least on al
appeals after the first.-Bradstreet.

It Grows Here and Should be Gull

The New York Leathe. Manufacturer,
in a recent issue, refers to csnaigre, it's
cultivation and results in tanning. That
so high an authority on tanning pro-
ducts should favorsbly view the cultiva-
tiou of canaigre will be the means Of en-
couraging its production. 1t says: "It
is gratifying to learn that the expert
ment made in the last two years at
the agricultural college, of New Mexico
and Arizona in the cultivation OF the
wild canaigre, are beginning to have
good results. The experiments demon
strate thst the wild root will respond to
intelligent cultivation 10 a surprising
degree. There can be no doubt that the
demand will far exceed the supply for
many years, If not for all time, and that
the price will remain where it is or sd-
vance to a more profitable figure. 1t will
take 5000 tons to take the place OF the
imported gambler in the United States
alone"
Referring to the gradual decrease in
The supply of oak and hemlock barks, it
says.
"Most of the leather in this country
is tanned with oak and hemlock bark,
and the supply is being rapidly used up,
as in addition to home use. considerable
quantities are exported. With this con
dition ct affairs In the supply and de-
mand of tanning at home and abroad. ii
is not too much to expect that the wild
canisgre root of New Mexico and Ariz-
ona, brought to high state Of develop
ment and production under intelligen,
cultivation, will be the source OF the
worlds supply Of tsnnin."

The Secret of Good Crops.

The modern farmer is not content to
use the antiquated tools and methods of
his fathers. In this age of keen oompe-
tition, the farmer who wishes to prosper,
needs and gets the most improved fArm-
ing implements; and by reading the
best agricultural literature, he keeps in
ctnuwthoh the spirit OF progress that
pervades our farming communities. He
is particular, also, in reRar to the kind
of seed he plants and the manner Of
plsnting 1t. The seeds must be of high
est cultivated and most profitable varIe-
ties of stock. The great seed firm of D.
VI. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich, fully
appreciate this fact, as Is attested by
their progressive business methods and
the quality of the seed which they sup
ply farmers and gardeners through the
dealers all over the country. The re-
liza ability and fertility OF their seeds are
proverbial and the largest seed business
in the world has been created by their
sale. In evidence of this firms know
ledge of the wants and requirements of
planters, large and small, in Ferry's
Seed Annual for 1856. This book is of
the greatest value to farmers and gard
eners-a veritable ency yclop8dia ofplant-
ing and farming knowledge. 1t con-
tains more useful and practical informs-
tion than many text books that are sold
for dollar or more, yet it will be mail
ed free to any one sending his name and

SPEAKING Of the approaching mining
b pom the New York Financial News
says: 1t will be in the west that men
vii first go into mining, particularly
god mining. on account OF the unlimit-
ei demand for the yellow metal ht pres-
ent. With a limited amount OF capital,
men of ability think they can make pro-
portionally greater profits in legitimate
mining than in the ordinary business
line, such Us manufacturing or jobbing.
The result will be that exceptional for
tunes will very likely be secured. These
examples of success will, from time to
time, arouss eastern capitalists from
their half le.h lreic condition OF plod'
ding along with small profits and slow
returns, and they will be led by slow de-
grees to look for share of the luck that
has attended the men who have taken 9
venture in western enterprise.

EFISCOPALIANS

THE Rita slistic portion OF the Protes-
tant Episcopal church has long been
drifting rap dly in the direction OF the
parent stem from which it originally
sprsng and, unless reports belle them.
they have about reached the goal OF
their ambition. On December s, IN New
York, the new church of st. Mary the
Virgin was opened with all the pomp
and splendor that can attend such an
affair. The edifce Is occupied by the
Ritualistic Episcopalians. who have at
their head in that city the Rev. Dr. NC
Kee Brown. Not only was the occasion
the dedication OF a new halt million
dollar bulldog, but it was the twenty
fifth anniversary OF Father Browns con-
nection with the church. The new
church is one of the largest in the city.
At z o'clock in the morning mass was
said. Two other masses followed and
solemn high mass uas sang at IL O'Clock
The service was long, not being over un-
til nearly O'clock. The benediction
was said by BisAop Grafton of Wiscon-
sin. The sermon was by Father Richie,
rector of St. Ignstius' church of this
City. The celetrant was Father Brown,
rector Ct the church. Father Mason OF
New York was deacon, and Father
Staunton sub deacon. TIE chaplain was
Father Patterson of Baltimore, and the
bishop WAS attended 10y Canon Knowles
of Nea York and Father Odell of Phila
dslphia. Ceiibscy of the clergy and the
pops's blessing is apparently the only
things necessary to make the celestial
future of the church assured.

THE TERRITORIAL SUPREME
COURT.

1t appears from an editorial in the
Denver News that Delegate Catrou o.
New Mexico has drafted and will intro
duce a bill iu congress to change the
supreme courts OF The three remaining
territories-O Oklahoma, Arizona and
New Mexico. Ia these territories at
present, ss has always been the system
in the territories, the district court
Judges constitute also ;he supreme court
Sitting together us a supreme court
they review each others decisions. Tho
plan has never been q satisfactory one,
as all territorial residents know. Judges
are, however, like all other men, and in
too many instances there has been q
virtual trtffic in supreme court opinions.
lyon sustain me, and I'Il sustain you,'
is the way 1T has worked. ''He turned
me down, III turn Eim down" is another
way of putting it, and this is the way il;
has gone too many years in the terrific
ries.
Delegate Catrou's bill proposes to
abolish the territorial supreme courts
as they now exist, lea. ipz the judges
at present in Office Is district judges.
His bill creates supreme court ss ee-
parate body to be composed OF one Judge
from each of the territories, and to
which all cases from the three terri;or-
les are TO be appealed. The bill has the
approval of all the territorial delegates.
There can be no question but that the
proposed plan is 90 improvement over
the une which has been so long in vogue.
II these territories are not to be soon ad-
mitted to the union, there is no reason
why il should rot become law. There
sre many lawyers representing new
states in the senate who are personally
familiar with the disadvantages under
h,ch the territories are laboring in this
| regard, and who will promptly recognize
the wisdom and justice of this bill.

The woEcerful growth OK the republi-
can party can be seen in the struggle OF
the several cities Of the country for the
national convention. One point OF ar
gument against San Francisco YVES its
inability to handle the telegraphic mat
ter FIR the newspapers. In 1860 when
Abraham Lpcoln wss nominated in the
Wigwam at Chicrgo there was just one
telegraphic operator IN the building. In
1892 that one man was replaced by 752
and they handled 60 0,C0O words. The
coming convention at ST. Louis bids fair
men to exceed that amount.
