Dxalic Acid.

The useful chemical known as oxalic acid
employed in dyeing and some other arts,
is now mentioned as one of the CONNER
cially valuabls products derived from saw
dust A familiar process is that in which
nitric acid and sugar are boiled for some
time, then evaporated to dryness, the
oxalic acid thus formed being purified by
crystallization from water. A much cheap
err material than sugar in this case, as al
legged is sawdust, an alkali being en-
ployed instead of an acid, as well as at q
higher temperature. The operation is con-
Quoted in an iron vessel of proper size and
shape, and either caustic soda or potash is
employed, the yield being greater with the
latter. In regard to this point, however,
experiment is said to prove that a mixture
of 40 parts of caustic potash to 60 parts of
caustic soda will produce as large yield
as when potash alone is used, provided the
operation is performed in shallow vessels
with thin layers of the material, avoiding,
as far as possible, the fusion of the mass
Soft woods, like pine and fir produce
larger quantities of oxalic acid than hard
wood, like oak, and the rule is a proper
ton of wood to alkali not exceeding rs to
100 and temperature of about $50 de-

WAR TALK AT THE CAPITAL Southern BrigadierS Rubbing
 Their Hands in 6Iee. AMERICA FOR AMERICANS" And Yankee DoodIeH and Dixie" Will Min
 gle as One Chorus
IF GREAT BRITAIN CRIES ITO ARMS
The Presidents War Message Considered the Ablest State Paper Emanating From the Executive Mansion in
 Years-Will Be Heeded.

Washington, Dec. 17.-(Spec!al)-Tallk of war is rife around the corridors and in the cloak rooms, and many an old south ern brigadier is tonight rubbing his hands with glee and itching to once again get in the saddle that they may show to the world that America is for Amerl- cans," and to show their brothers of the north how they can fight beneath stars and stripes, as once they did under the stars and bars. And with Yankee Doo- dle" and Dixie" who is it that doubts results? President Cleveland's message to congress today has struck a respon- sive chord in the breasts of democrat and republican alike, and had Speaker Reed recognized MT. Crisp this evening resolutions appropriating $10OO00 would have passed the house, but the republi- cans seem to want the resolution to come from their side and a motion to adjourn was carried, Dingley being recognized for that purpose.
 The message is commended by all as the ablest state paper emanating from the executive mansion in years, and there is no doubt but it's suggestions will be carried out.
