Utilizing Waste Matter.

A few years ago there was an enor-
nous waste Of material at blast fur
naces and the various smelling estab-
lishments. as well as about glassworks.
Recently the suggestion has been made
that some of this waste be utilized.
Experiments have been made with
glass by forming it into building
bricks. These are specially recon-
mended for building hot houses. They
are said to be Of equal value for re-
frigerlting establishments, bath houses
hospitals and other places where sani-
tary conditions must be observed, and
where maximum Of cleanliness must
3 BE- secured at l minimum Of labor and
expense. The glass bricks are laid up
in fine cement-mortar, which incor-
porates itself with the glass and forms
an impervious and perfectly smooth
surface. Walls of this sort are said to
be excellent insulators Of moisture and
noise, and are susceptible of a high de-
gree of ornanentation, and, as they are
made hallow, are good for keeping out
the heat in summer and cold in winter.
There is agraat field for any inventor
who can make good use of waste ma
terial The advantage is two-fold:
There is a new material to work with,
and something which it heretofore has
been necessary to remove, often at
considerable expense is eagerly sought
after.

A Case of TRANSMISSION.

The legal possibilities of TRANSMISSION
were brought out in recent suit in
an English court. A man who was
very i'll was treated by TRANSMISSION of
blood as last resort. He recovered,
and after time his gardener, from
whose veins the vital fluid was taken,
fell ill. Some one suggested that his
contribution to his employer might
have caused his illness, whereupon he
brought suit, claiming sixty thousand
francs damages. After good deal Of
legal investigation experts were ap-
pointed to examine and report on the
case. This took so long that the man
died before the report was finished.
The widow however, continued the
suit, even though the post-mortem ex-
animation demonstrated that death
was caused by cancer Of the stomach.
The courts decided in favor of the de-
PENDANT, on the ground that even
though the mans vitality might have
been impaired by the loss of blood, his
voluntary offer for the benefit Of an
other individual released the recipient
from all financial liability that might
be claimed on account of the transac.

No Accounting for Tastes.

A. dentist died in a rural town in
England a few days ago, after spending
over fifty years in pulling the molars
of his fellow citizens He had made it
a hobby to keep all the teeth which
he had drawn in The course Of his
professional career, and took great
pride in the collection. When his will
was opened it was found that he had
ordered thu collection Of teeth to be
placed with him in the coffin for burial.
His heirs fulfilled his command, and
almost 10000 teeth were put into the
coffin WITH the dead dentist. If some
archaeologist of a future century shall
happen to open that grave he will have
food for thought" and some difficulty
perhaps in explaining the presence Of
50 many teeth.

Apple Diet for the skin.

A ripe, raw apple is one Of the easiest
foods for the stomach to deal with,
the whole process Of digestion only con-
suming eighty-fve minutes. The malic
acid of ripe apples, cooked or raw,
helps to digest meat and to stimulate
the liver and neutralize those noxious
matters which, unless eliminated, pro-
duce skin eruptions. Apples are not
as satisfying as potatoes, because Of
their delicate elements, but eaten with
meat in place Of tubers they are q
golden food. The salts and wine sweet

thought to be nerve builder, and woln-

impaired its delicate white to the flesh.
Why not? Beef eaters and wine drink

Her Interview With the Tiger.

Not long ago Il Brockton man re.
ceived his monthly pay envelope con.
tanning 1926 This should have gone
to lift mortgage on his home, but
it didn't, for instead Of going home
to his spouse the man went to Boston
and lost it all in a faro game. Then
he got beastly drunk and went home.
When he sobered up enough to tell his
wife what had happened she started
at once for Boston. Getting her bear
ings, she struck out at once for the
faro den, and finally secured admittance
to the innermost den of the tiger Once
here she made things so hot for the
Broprietcrs that three days later they
gladly settled with her for $500. The
man viii play no more faro, the mort
gage is lifted and it has been demon
strated that the tiger is no match for

HISTORY OF THE HUDSON.

II once Ran Through Chnsm Sew
eral Hundred Feet Deep.
The Hudson river, as we call it,
along the western shore of the Island
~ Manhattan, IL now 4 majestic estu-
sary rather than river, and. is deep
enough for all the uses Of gr,At ships.
But its present bottom is foYfA8l of the
rock wreclsage of an earlier day (which
has largely filed up chasm, ,nce sew

the old river ran.
So colossal was the sheet Of ice which
cane sweeping down from the North
