SINKING of THE ELBE.
The Jury BIames Two of the Crew
of the Crathfe.

London, May 1.-The Elbe investigation
kgas resumed at Lowestoh this marning.
The coroner, in summing up the evidence.
said it was clear that the damage sus-
tained by the Crathie in the collision
prevented her from proceeding on. her
voyage. As to the collision itself, IL was
for the Jury TO decide whether IL was
due to gross and culpable negligence, ana
il so, to ascertain who was to blame.
The Jury returned a verdict, that in
their opinion, the collision was due TO
gross negligence on the part of the mate
and lookout man of the Crathie. OWNS
to the absence of evidence from any Of
the crew of the Elbe the jury were OF
the opinion that there was not sufficient
poof that the Crathie was solely to blamo
for the disaster as to justify a verdict
to that effect. The captain of the Graz
THE was entirely exonerated.

Death was caused by inhaling Illuminating

Building by Machinery.

The cost of building is wonderfully
reduced by the use of machinery. Walls
made of brick, stone, cement, plaster,
etc, are reduced in cost more than one
half. Large buildings, the estimate of
which is about one dollar per cubic
foot, can be built for thirty or forty
cents per cubic foot by the employment
of l~abor-saving machinery and devices.
Cement and mortar, all the materials
for stone work, with the brick and
stone itself, may be mixed and handled
almost entirely by machinery. A der
rick, litter and crane will perform in
an incredible short space of time work
that it formerly took days and scores
of men to complete. 1t would be adj
vantageous if the same power and ap-
pliances could be so arranged as to be
utiliZable in small towns on the same
principle as those used in the large
cities. AS it now is in suburban local
tiles, almost everything is done by
hand.-N. y. Ledger.

There is a bank cashier still living in
Chicago who was the hero of a wonder
full performance just after the great lire
in 1870. The books of the bank in which
he was employed were entirely de-
stroyed by the flames, n with no data
except the pass books of the depositors
and his memory, his man restored all
the fifteen hundred accounts so sue
cessfully that every depositor was sat
isfied.
The splitting of the forest trees by
frost is popularity ascribed to the same
cause as the bursting of water pipes,
namely, the expansion Of the sap in
turning into ice. But this is not the
case. The splitting is due to the con-
traction of the wood by frost in a SIM
liar way, but in less degree to what
happens when the wood is dried. When
the thaw comes the trees expand to
their original dimensions.
The powder used in the big guns is
uueer-looking stuff. Each grain is a
heXagonal prism an inch wild and two
thirds of an inch thick. with a hole
bored through the middle of it. In ap-
pearance it resembles nothing so much
as a piece Of wood. If you touch a
match to it it will take seven or eight
seconds to go off. Slow-burning powder
like this is employed in cannon because
IT does not strain the gun so much. The
quicker the explosion, the great the
shock and the shorter the life Of the
weapon.

Preservation of Wood.

of one part blue vitriol and twenty of

covers thickly with quicklime. Water
is slowly added till the lime is Stacked.

The Cost of cleaning Berlin.

1t is true that municipal affairs are.
generally speaking, conducted here
more economically and much mor
thoroughly than is the case in Ameri-
can cities. Thus in 1875 the streets of
Berlin, covering a total area of 6, $780,
600 square meters, were cleaned at an
annual expenditure of 1000, 900 marks
$500, 000). Now, the area of Berlin
streets having increased by 1895 to over
5000, 900 square meters, the streets are
cleaned for but $500, OO0-and cleaned,
let me say, better than in any other
large city in the world. This is due to
system, to the excellent pavements,
constantly renewed and mended, and
to machine sweeping, which costs go
per cent less than the sweeping done
by hand. 1t is the same with the
street sprinkling. This is done during
the season whenever needed, on hot,
dusty days twice. and 1000, 900 cubic
meters of water are used up in the
thorough system of sprinkling between
April l and November Is. The city
does it at an expense of but z, 1894, 600
marks this year.-Cor. Chicago Record.
