New French Deodorizer.

Mention is made in the scientific press
of 4 deodorizing attachment brought for
ward in France for the purpose of obviat
ing the odor of oil and gas engine exhausts.
Its principal action depends upon the absorp-
ing properties OF bone black. or the affinity
which the latter has for certain other SUBJ
stances, among these being the objection
able Conponents Of the combustion gases
from oil engines. The bone black in this
case is made to exercise a double effect
acting by absorption rs we'll as in a mechan-
ical way by filtration. The device consists
of box divided into two compartments
by perforated partition. on which the
bone black is spread in a moderately thick
layer. The exhaust gases from the engine
enter into the lower compartment at the
extreme left pass through the perforated
dividing wall and superimposed layer of
absorbent into the upper compartment. and
thence escape into the open air through a
pipe at the upper right-hand side. Thus the
ammonia and fetid hydrocarbon gases are
absorbed by the bone black, and whatever
liquid offensive particles may be IN the
products OF combustion are retained by
II mechanically. Water of condensation
collecting in the lower compartment may
be drained off through n drip pipe.

BEARS A CHARMED LIFE.
An Ohio Farmer who Lives in Spite of
Numerous Accidents.
nhin STATE Ipurr.,l

II ever man bore a charmed life, Ma
than Porter of Cross Creekk Township is
that man. He has met with a number OF
accidents that would have ended the life
of any ordinary human being, but Nate
seems possessed of as many lives as cat.
He is just now going about, after having
been kicked squarely in the forehead by n
horse. His apple orchard is on tue side of
a hiIl, n nd he has fallen out of nearly every
tree in it several times and never was
more than shaken up.
Some years ago IL log rolled over him
as if he had been made OF rubber. Then
he went to n picnic and ate ice cream that
poisoned everybody else. but beyond a
little sick spell, he never felt any discom-
fort. Several years ago his physician told
him to settle up his business affairs and
prepare for the hereafter. as he might live
two years and he might not live more than
two days He came out of the doctors
office and shook hands with his friends,
telling them OF the good news impaired to
him by the doctor, and adding that he
did not believe wor,l the doctor had
told him. He lived to see the doctor
buried.
Porter holds that he could go through
a powder mill explosion without even
smelling the powder. The minor acci-
dents lie has met with are innumerable,
and he expects to die naturally.

Refused ExtraditiOn.

Washington, Aug. ia complaint
has been lodged with the state depart
ment by a resident OF Colorado against
the government of Mexico because they
have refused to extradite two Mexlcans
who murdered resident OF New Mex
leo. named Reed and then fed into
Mexico. The governor OF New Mexico,
as Is warranted by the treaty between
the two countries, called directly on
the governor Of the neighborIng state
Of Chihuahua for the surrender OF the
men, but was refused on the ground
that the evidence was insufficient. 1t
is probable that application will now
be made through the regu!a" channels
for the extradition OF the men. If 1t
shall appear beyond question that the
men are Mexicans 1t Is improbable the
Mexican government will surrender
them.
