LONDON, Nov. THE trial of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter nj. Castle of San
Francisco, charged with shoplifting,
;ook place in the sessions house at
Clerkenwell and resulted in Mr.. Castle
being acquitted, and Mrs. Castle being
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment without hard labor.
There was much interest taken in
the case, especially among the members
of the American colony, and several
ladies arrived in court together at
8 :45 a. III.
At 10 30 a. m. the case was opened
with the names of the Castles being
called by the clerk of the court, to sur.
render to their bail of $500 900. Then
counsel for the defense took the floor,
although Charles Matthews, senior
counsel for the prisoners, was not pres.
ent.
The decorous quiet of the court room
was broken by the sound of hysterical
sobbing by Mrs. Castle, whose husband
supported her in the dock. Both pris.

their faces. Mrs. Castle, especially,
appeared to have aged considerably
since her arrest, a month ago. at the

When Mrs. Castle had become some

petroIenm In RussIn.

A peculiar fact in respect to petro-
leum is the difference of conditions I'M
der which that oil occurs in Russia and
America. In the former it is found in
strata of the tertiary period, usually
formation resembling quicksond, and
at depths of only few hundred feet
In our own country it occurs at great
depths in the older compact sandstones
and limestones. American oil yields
very large proportion, say about 70 per
cent, of Illuminating oil exactly suited
for combustion in our ordinary lamps;
the Russian oil produces far less of
such oil and larger proportion OF
high-class lubricating oil The Rus
sian illuminating oil also requires to be
burned in modified form of lamp with
u more perfect draught.in order to over
come its tendency TO produce smoky
flame, and it is largely this fact which
has prevented the consumption OF Rus
sian oil for light abroad.

An Art Extensively Used in Carriage and
Boat Building.

An Art Extensively Used in Carriage and
Boat Building.
Comparatively few persons outside
the carriage and bodybuilding indus
try are aware of the extent of the wood
bending industry, and but few realize
that the carriages they ride in are very
largely made of such wood-the felloes
of all their wheels are bent and made
in two parasitic framework of coaches
and heavy carriages is nearly all made
of bent stock, and not only better made.
but more cheaply-and the frames Of
pleasure boats are bent, as also many
of the frames of the finest sailing
yachts; furniture, too, of many kinds
has bent frames, all the celebrated
Thonet chairs, for example, being made
entirely of wood thus treated. The OBJ
ject of bending is twofold, says the
Woodworker, namely, saving of time
and stock and stability and strength Of
the work when put together-this inGe-
pendent of beauty of form; and bent
carriage shafts are almost, if not en-
tirely, used now, instead of the old
style, clumsy, sawed ones. Skill in
manipulating the material is very es-
sential; simply the forms to bend on,
and the steam box in which to soften
the wood do not alone insure success in
the operation-it is necessary to know
perfectly the stock to bend, it being 50
variable that no two pieces bend alike.
