Adu1terated Coffee In England.

Coffee has long been a favorite sub
stance for adulteratiOn, and it is Thoughts
by some that this fact has told COnsid-
erably against any increase in the sale
of the beverage. One interesting expert
ment spoken Of by the honorable secre-
tary of the Coffee association of London
may be referred to:
"Some years ago lot of samples Of
coffee were collected by different clerks
of city 3rn in different parts Of Lon
don, and were analysed by DR.. Paul,
with a result that astOnished us. There
were 43 samples collected, and M. Pas
teur made the following note: 'The av-
erage proportion of coffee in the above
43 samples is just 90 per cent, with so
per cent Of chicory, burned sugar and
other vegetable substances. Bearing III
mind that good, pure roasted coffee can
be retailed at 10d. per pound, with
fair profit TO the seller, and that chicory
is about CEe-third Of the price Of coffee,
it is easy to see that the sellers of all
those French and other coffee mixtures
must be realizing profits of something
like 100 per cent by the sale of their
wretched compounds. The worse the
mixture the greater Cne prOHC; II
the anxiety Of sellers to push their tr.,,-e
and to find attractive names to take IN
an ignorant and easily deluded public.
That was written by M. Pasteur i'll
1886"
The witness added that the same trade
tricks go on still, while another made
the astonishing declaration that much
of what is called French coffee" here
is not French, and not coffee West

The original characteristics of the

Unquestionably the Difference the

sufficient in many instances, to deter

the fact of its being reduced to eight
would not make any material differ

In conclusion, such a change in the

solicitors, have instituted a SUIT
against George L. Lockwood and
George R. Robinson, who are two Of
the local joint stockholders of the
Adams Express company. The bill al
leges that on November 81 1892, the
plaintiffs delivered to the defendants
$4,000 in money to be delivered by the
latter to the Southern Express COM
pany, which was to convey it to New
Orleans for delivery to plaintiff there.
The petition alleges that the money
was never delivered to the Southern

cover the $50, 900.
The money in question was con-
signed at New York for bank in Cal

posed to contain money were opened in
Galveston they were found to contain
nothing but brown paper. Employees

charged with the theft, were arrested,
tried and acquitted.

General Wheeler's staff, then being
conveyed as prisoner of war to the
peritentiary at Nashville. We fell
into a conversation, during which he
graphically described to me the con-
fiicts in which he had been personally
engaged, as we passed the various To-
calities along the railroad. AS the
train halted at Lavergne, he said to
me. Il was in the front room Of that
small house during Wheeler's first at

PROF. BELLS INVENTIONS.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell is
convinced that flying machine is
practicable. but that balloons and but
tertly wings must be discarded. He
started his experiments with the idea
of having a machine of greater spe-
cific gravity than the air, which he re-
CARDS as the only correct principle.
One of his experiments was made with
a French design simply constructed of
metal. The French are industriously
following up the problem of artificial
flight, and have done some valuable
work. While Professor Bell was in
France he was much interested in a
machine called the helikoptes, invented
by NJ. Trouve. 1t is made of iron and
other metals and screws itself into the
air
In regard to automobile carriages,
electric railroads and electric bicycles,
Professor Bell says: "These develop
merits have led me to think of what is
to become of the horse. Man has in
vented the bicycle to increase his pow
ers of propulsion, and while l do not
say that a horse could ride bicycle, l
am confident that a machine could be
built whereby the horse could be taken
off the ground and used as a motor
power. With a proper system of gear
ing great speed could in this way be
attained"
A recent invention of Professor Bell
is a machine for use in fishermen's do
ries on the banks of Newfoundland.
When cut off from their vessels by fog
the fishermen frequently lose their
lives from the lack Of drinking water
The invention consists of a glass cylfn-
der or bottle. through the neck of
which is a rubber tube. The glass is sub
merged and brass cylinder acting as
bellows by reason of the pressure of
the rising and falling waves pumps
The atmosphere into the submerged
bottle. There 1T becomes condensed and
constant supply of fresh drinking
water is provided.
