ANCKER WILL INVESTIGATE.
Peculiar Case Reported to the Board
OfaCOntrOl.


A queer case was brought to the at
tention of the board of control yesterday
by eX-Ald. Minea and another gentle
man, who did not announce his name.
They informed the board and City Ply
sician Ancker that woman known as
Mrs. Emily Schmidt, who resides in
shanty at ia Golf avenue, near Page
street had shut herself up in the shack
and was trying to starve herself to
death, refusing admission to the neigh
bors, who sought to take her food.
Mrs. Schmidt is a widow, between
forty-five and fifty years of age. At
one time she owned house and lot in
this city, and the loss of it, it is thought,
may have unsettled her mind. DR..
Ancker will investigate the case today.
He said that if Mrs. Schmidt refused
him admission to her dwelling it would
be impossible to deal with the case with
out some one of the neighbors filed in
formation.

Paramn Wax.

Probably few persons are aware OF the
immense amount of paraflin wax now
manufactured and consumed, pronounced,
indeed, one of the most valuable OF the
many products Of petroleum, much of this
Importance being due, doubtless, to the
perfection at present reached In the meth
DDS of production. In the improved proc
ess now pursued the wax distillate Is redis-
titled for the purpose of reducing to tho
desired gravity and crystallizing the WAX,
this operation being known as cracking,
and following this the oil Is frozen by the
same means that are in vogue for making
artificial ice, the machines thus used by re-
finers of petroleum being OF very large
freezing capacity and of the most scientific
construction. After the oil Is frozen IL Is
forced into the filter presses with very pow
erful pumps, and by these presses the wax
Is converted into solid cake, while the
oil flows into pans, being then transferred
into the sun Dlcacbers or filters as wanted.

HIS GREAT BIG VOICE.

1t Frightened the Little Girl Into

Four we'll known lawyers sat at n table
in popular down town restaurant, gath
ering place for many OF the legal lights
who enjoy better than anything else So
cial hour after wrestling throughout the
day with knotty legal problems. They were
spending the evening pleasantly, barterlng
jokes about politics and legal life, but
wisely avoiding serious discussion.
Many and good were the stories told,
each narrator in turn doing his best TO
create a bigger laugh than had follow ed
his fellows yarn. The stories were full of
snap and brevity. One OF them will bear
repeating.
az remember calf case," one of the
four began, (which was remarkable only
for the fighting qualities shown by coun-
sci. 1t was tried before a justice of the
peace in an Indiana village. One of the
contending lawyers was a big man, pomp-
Gus and vain to a degree The other was
n wiry little fellow who did not weigh 100
pounds. The little man had voice of re-
markable power. He was fiery Of speech,
and when in an argument would let it out
to its limits. The little fellow made an ar
gument an hour long TO the six good men
and true, and he did not spare his lungs.
Loudly he denounced the defC ant, and
as he came to the close of his --ireSs he
assumed the attitude of roaring lion.
When he sat down, tho justice wore n
scared look, while the jurymen were open
mouthed and on the verge of tears.
The lawyer for the other side then rose,
and in quiet, even tones proceeded to adj
dress the court and jury, as follows: " May

Smith had some important business TO

and neighbor. He went in the early morn
ing to Johnson's house and was greeted by
n sweet faced little girl, who opened the
door and asked his business. In voice
that would wake the dead Smith asked,
Little girl is your father I'M?
Enlightened nearly out of her wits, the
girl waited not moment, but fed TO her

Ouiclsand.

The operation Of testing quicksand may
be made n very simple matter, says La Ma
ture. Taking a certain quantity OF quick
sand and drying it artidcially it may be
again made into quicksand by putting 1t
into box and pouring water upon 1T care
fully, when instantly lie water Is soaked
up, and on measuring 20 volume, or, bet
ter the weight of the and, 1t will DO seen
that the latter takes upa quantity OF water
that measures 80 per cent of its own vol
ume, or 90 per cent by weight, while the
rest remains above the layer Of sand On
piercing a small holo in the bottom of tho
box pure water runs out, the sand forming
n kind of immovable filter, or by turning
the box upside down the sand will be seen
TO keep its form like stopper. But 1t Is
the reverse of this proceeding that results
In the real quicksand-viz, putting the
water into vessel and sitting in the dry
sand in a thin nm while shaking the
vessel lightly, tn outcome being the thick
but easily flown z compound known as
quicksand. That the mixture may keep
its mobility it is necessary that the guam
tity of water be not less than 81 per cent
by weight, and the whole DO continually
though lightly shaken. Increasing the
proportion or interrupting the agitation
for an instant causes the mass to settle
down, retaining about 20 per cent of wa
ter, while the surplus, If 1t exists, rises to
the top.
