Over half the population of Bombay,
estimated to amount to about 100000 has
fled from the plague. and the erstwhile
crowded streets. docks and bazaars are
not recognizable. Business in piece goods,
crockery and hardware is at standstll,,
and the money lenders have vanished.
The courts are deserted and the judges
and officials have gone to healthier
cline Many of the native doctors, grad
yates of the college, have fled, and those
remaining refuse to attend plague cases,
or, when they do attend them, will not
touch the sufferers, dreading contagion.
Clerks and others whose vocations call
them to the city daily have removed to
suburban stations, where the people are
mostly living in matched huts. 1t is esti-

soon be forced to migrate owing to the
lack of water and sanitation, threatening
to breed cholera. The cemeteries are
already filled to overlooking, and the wind
is spreading the contagion. The nights
are made hideous by cymbals and melan-
choly dirges. Often difficulty is expert
cnced in burying the dead, friends and
relatives refusing to carry the corpses. In
some instances women have assisted in
carrying the dead bodies. A large num-

NEW USE FOR CORN STALKS.
Il. s. Cramp Hos Scheme Which
Will Benefit the Farmers.

Will Benefit the Farmers.
Edwin s. Cramp. the millionaire ship
builder of Philadelphia, is now interested
especially in the production of padding
for warships and fodder for cattle from
cornstalks. Thanksgiving Day last Ed
win S. Cramp was granted patent for
the new invention lie bought from the in
ventor. Experiments have been made
in the East for six or seven months and in
every case they have been very success
full Now the scheme is to be introduced
in the West and next year Il considera-
bic portion of the cornstalk crop of lii
nois and Iowa is to be bought from the
farmers and used in making both the fod-
der and the ship padding. The British
Government has become interested in the
new discovery of the Cramps. If it is
pleased with the results of it's investiga-
ton and decides to adopt the invention it
will mean that large additional demand
will be created, and, Of course the corn
raisers will be the beneticiaries. The pro-
cess for manufacturing the two things
cattle food and ship padding--is simple.
rs explained by Mr.. Cramp. 1t consists
in separating the pith from the outer stalk
and grinding each. The outer portion of
the stalk is converted into Golfer dam. as
the article used in the ships is called. The
pth when ground and prepared is the
food for cattle. A factory is to be estab'
lshcd ut Rockford. III.
