MONEY In COKE REFUSE.

A new process has been discovered
after years hard work and expert
menting at the Larimer Coke Works,
in Westmoreland county. by Foreman
W. S. Cook, assisted by Engineer D.
Harrity, to turn the by-produot of the
coal used in making coke into valuable
material, instead of. as before, letting
it 60 up in smoke, as it hss been and
is now doing, and will thus save mil
lions of dollars worth of oil, gases,
ammonia, tar and other useful articles
which are manufactured from coal.
1t will at the same time not affect the
quality or quantity of coke produced
in the same oven.
The process is very cheap and SIM
pie one, the secret of which is carefully
guarded, but it is success from the
fact that they have already obtained
in twelve hours from one beehive oven,
holding about five tons, of coke, some
forty gallons Of crude naphtha, which
is a thick, black, Opaque, viscious
liquid, from which various number
of the constituents can be distilled.
With the same machine they extract an
ammoniac liquor capable of producing
large amount of ammoniac salts,
which are now being used for fertiliz-
ing purposes. A large flow of gas is
also collected by the same process. and

by this process would not cost over $50

TREES AND HEALTH.

1t bias been noted that the first set
tiers in heavily wooded sections of the
country have generally been healthy,
despite their many privations. The
reason for this is that trees and plants
of all kinds possess the power of alb
sorbing poisoned air from decaying veg
citation, besides which the emanations
from evergreens and the smoke from
burning resinous woods are noted for
the relief they give to those suffering
from pulmonary diseases.
New. heavily wooded countries, as
already noted, are the most healthy
for settlers, and they continue SO for
many years, as only small portion of
the forest can be cleared away each
year. After the forest is removed
and sunlight is admitted, the soil fills
rapidly with vegetable mold, which
decomposes more rapidly than it can
be absorbed by the scant vegetation,
and as result the atmosphere is rem
dered impure and malaria becomes a
common complaint.
In view of these facts, people are
beginning to understand the value of
trees as disease absorbing and health
giving agents. Naturally this leads to
the question as to what trees are best
for protection against disease.
On Long Island and in New Jersey
there are localities surrounded and
hemmed in with pitch pines. which
are famed for their curative qualities
in consumption, and the pines are thus
indicated as valuable surroundings in
pulmonary complaints. 1t would seem
reasonable to suppose that trees having
the largest leaves and the most of them
would be the best for this purpose, as
such trees would undoubtedly have been
the most absorbing power. We have
seen the eucalyptus tree mentioned as of
special value as purifier Of the atmos-
phere. Halls Journal of Health.

PHOTOGRAPHS IN COLORS.

Professor Frederick E. Ives of Phil.
adelphia explained to large and dis
tinguished gathering of scientists re-
Gently at the American Museum of
Natural History his discovery of re-
producing by photography the natural
colors of objects. This has long been
the dream of science, says the New
York Times.
Professor Ives illustrated his lecture
by many beautiful color photographs.
He first outlined the latest discoveries
in relation to light and light rays in
general and then ny experiments in
separating and combining the element
airy and compound colors showed the
theory he had followed in reaching his
discovery of the secret of color photog-
raphy.
In plain language, this astonishing
result was achieved by photographing
the object chosen on the most modern
and sensitive plate through three diff
ferent colored glass slides-red, green
and blue-violet. The object was first
photographed through one. then
through another. and then through the
third. Each colored slide took up it's
own SPECTRUM colors, and when the
three plates are over the other, and
looking in stereoscope through the
three plates. there was seen result
ant photograph of the object chosen
with all the natural colors retained.
Professor Ives next explained how
by mirrors and other devices, he had
progressed from this initial stage in
the discovery to the making of his
photochromoscope camera, which makes
at single exposure on a commercial
Photographic sensitive plate the three
pairs of images for combination into
the color photograph. Then he ex-
planned his stereophotochromoscope, by
which the color photograph is trans.
lated to the eye. so that the very OBJ
ject photographed appears to be seen
through it.
He caused some of his color photo
graphs to be thrown on large screen.
The natural colors were wonderfully
reproduced in all their variety. His
typical color photograph was of a
basket of fruit. Another was of a
vase of flowers, and there were many
beautiful color photographs of scenery
in the Alps and in the American yell
lowstone Park
Finally, Professor Ives described
the method by which he succeeded in
permanently fixing natural colors in a
photograph. This was a mechanical
process, and not a direct process Of
light transfixture. In brief. as de-
scrlbed, it consisted in developing
three negatives of the three main
colors, and, then FASTING the three to-
gether, the result being, however, a
photograph of complementary colors,
and not the original full natural
colors.
The basis of the whole process. Prof.
Ives pointed out. was the now per-
fectly determined laboratory measure
ments of the mixture of spectrum
colors. He indicated further that his
color photographs would not convey
accurate color ideas to the color blind,
for the reason, among others, that the
so-called green seen by the normal
eye is not the real elementary green.
the latter being observable only by
the color blind. At the close of the
lecture those in the audience were
given an opportunity to see Prof. Ives
color photographs through his own
special instruments.

An Enterprise Falls for an Unusual
 Reason.
 The famous Southern Pacific we'll at Gila Bend is 10 be abandoned. It was finished two years ago having been sunk at a great expenditure of time and money to depth of about 1,500 feet. The original purpose was to find an artesian we'll. Water was struck at depth of 600 feet and there seemed to be no bottom to it. We'll, there is really none and that bottomless fact precluded artesian possibilities. But anyhow there was so much water that the rail- road company put in pump and Gila Bend had fit of jubllation. It turns out now that the water is so charged with sand that "suckers" for the pump are worn out as fast as they are put in.
 The railway officials say and point mournfully to statistics, that the Southern Pacific in Arizona is already and always has been conducted at a loss, which it is not proposed to pile up any higher by creating a fund for the purchase of suckers for the Gila Bend pump. The pipe is therefore to be drawn out and nothing will remain oi that aqueous enterprise but hole in the ground to mark failure due en tirely to too much sand.

A PRIVATE AFFAIR
Becomes a Painfully Public
 Matter.
Dozier, the Salvation Army Guard ian, Fined for lmpersonat- Ing an Officer.

The most important event in Phoenix yesterday was the trial of Bud Dozier, peace preserver at the Salvation Army, for impersonating an officer. His oi. fense was based upon the arrest by him at Glendale last Friday night of a young man named Fairchilds, accused of stealing the proceeds of an Army ice cream social the night before. The only evidence against Fairchilds was furnished by young woman, mem- Der of the Army, who said twenty-four hours after the theft occurred that she saw Fairchilds take the money. This statement was afterward modified 80 that she had only seen the handker. chief in which the money was tied up in his possession. The testimony was so gauzy that Recorder Jobs, before whom Fairchilds was brought, after having lain in jail all night, dismissed it.
 Dozier's arrest then followed. The most interesting testimony was furn- ished by him. FairchiIds, by the way was member of the army and wen, along to Glendale where the story ol his peculation was first made known After consultation with the captain Dozier concluded to make the arrest then and there and not take the chances Of his return to Phoenix.

A BAD LAW.
Needed Changes in the Libel
 Statute.
Newspapers So Hedged About That the Freedom of the Press
 Is Destroyed.

From the Winslow Mail.
 The courts have convicted and sen tenced J. o. Dunbar, of the Arizona Gazette, of libel. MT. Dunbar, per haps, was guilty of using language a little stronger than was necessary in this particular case, but the law of libel in this territory goes to as great an extreme in the other direction. It virtually protects rascals in official positions and restricts the liberty of the press. Newspaper men and the people generally may be morally convinced that an official is guilty of corrupt acts, and yet be unable to prove it to the satisfaction of jury. It is well known fact that juries, as rule, give too great a latitude to reasonable doubt," and to convince many one must be seen to actually commit the overt act. Circumstances and surroundings have no weight with that class of men. Under the libel law, as it exists in this territory, the press dare not utter it's honest convictions, unless it can back up it's assertions by such an array of testimony that there is no room left for dou bt. It is a we'll established fact that newspapers seldom transcend the bounds of fairness in it's criticisms of men, whether in public or private life. and the next legislature owes It to the people of the territory to modify this law very materially.

A Rumored Settlement
 of Gazette Affairs
Without Any Change of Status
 of the Proprietors.
A Probability That the Gazette Will Be Converted Into a Stirring
 Afternoon Paper.

It was rumored yesterday that the perturbed affairs of the Arizona Gazette were in fair way for adjustment, that they had in fact been practically ad- justed and that the sale of the property ordered to take place next Monday had been averted. According to the terms of the reported smicable settlement. the status of affairs would re- main unchanged except in that the present inharmony would be wholly dissipated. MT. J. o. Dun bar would still remaln in editorial charge and President W. T. Smith and MT. J. L. B. Alexander would etill re- tain their interests. There would be no important change in the policy of the paper. It would however be con. ducted in such manner as to bring together and keep together members of the Simon pure Democracy.
 It was proposed also to change the Gazette from morning to an evening paper in which there seemed to be g wider financial field which could be en tered upon without sacrifice of politi- cal influence. Preparatory arrange ments, with this departure in view were also made to secure possession of the United Press afternoon franchise. II had become apparent to the manage ment that the Gazette could never be. come wholly successful without a tele' graphic service and it was impossible te secure morning franchise
 The settlement and w aesso ossisD Dhsngee had been proposed to be made were the result of the kindly interference ol Hon. Mark A. Smith who arrived from Tombstone yesterday morning with nc other purpose in mind than to gather together the estranged members of the Gazette family.
 President Smith of the company was seen last night. He would not confirm the report, but said that certain prop ositions had been submitted to hin yesterday and had not been accepted Nor did he believe that they would bt made the basis of settlement.
 In any event, though, the fact that the parties to the dispute have showr a disposition to compromise is { pretty sure sign that a com promise
 will be effected before July 8, the dat, set for the fatal finish fight betweeI the contestants.

At one stage of the services known as giving in testimony" Fairchilds arose and told how the Lord had saved him. He then went out and Dozier following came upon him as he was putting the saddle on his horse. Dozier suspected that Fairchilds was trusting to his horse to fully accomplish his salvation and so arrested him, believing he was acting within his rights or the rights of any citizen of the United States. He did not he said, represent that he was an officer though he really was one by virtue of an appointment by ex-Mar- shal Molloy.
 That Dozier had violated the law was clear. It was equally clear that the violation was not malicious and he was fined only the costs.
