New Norfolk Industry.

The first peanut oil factory
in the United States will be
established in Norfolk, Va, at
All early date. The oil is highly
valued in Europe, as it is stated
that fully $5,ooo,ooo worth of
peanuts are brought into Mar
sielles annually for the manu-
facture of oil, which is used IN
toilet soaps and for other pur-
poses. The peanut -four is quite
extensively used i'll Europe and
made into bread, cakes, biscuit,
etc.
1t is one of the favorite arti-
cles of food, according to consular
reports, in hospitals in Germany.
The capital stock of the peanut
company is 100000, and it is
operating under the patents of
Mr.. Weatherley. which cover
the machinery and methods of
decorticating the kernel of the
inner skin. According to the
estimate made, says the Atlanta
Constitution, the cost of a plant
for treating five tons of peanuts
daily is as follows: Machinery,
Sc, 900; bu lding, $4,000, while
the expenditures. including labor
insurance and taxes amount to
1887 per day.
l Iast April the press reports
from along the Mississippi, South
ward from Memphis, were bur
dened with accounts of the DAM
age done bv the floods which
were ther sweeping over the
lowlanu. of Arkansas, Mississip-
! pi and Louisiana, but with the
subsidence of the a:ers there
was a transformation which was
as gratifying as the former con-
dition was distressing. The rich
sediment deposited by the water
enriched the land in every direc-
ton, and as soon as the waters
subsidized the planters commenced
to prepare their fields tor crops
of different kinds, particularly
cotton, with the result that they
are now about to reap abundant
harvests.

New York OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
There is another spite house" in thei
ransharlem district, at the corner of Mel.
rose avenue and East One-hundred-a and
sixty-first street: It is owned and was
built by Henry Ubelhor, a wel-to-do tailor
at the vicinage. Like Mr.. Richardson, Mr..
Cbelhor owned goodly sized plot at the
corner named. With the opening of Mel
rose avenue and the widening of East Ones

hor discovered that his plot had dwindled.

feet on the street and about forty feed

it could not be used for any practical pur-

Mr. Ubelhor was headstrong and an

a home, but a tailor shop and workroom
on the site. He succeeded
The building is now one of the curiosi-
ties of the Twenty-third ward 1t is two
stories in height about thirty-fve feet front

consumed too much space. and so Mr.
Ubelhor had it built of iron. The work
rooms are under the sidewalk and extend
out to the curbline of Melrose avenue. On
the ground floor is the show room, where
the taiorS latest conceptions are eXhb-
tied. A stout man applying for the con-
stTuction of q suit of clothes has TO be
measured on the sidewalk, as there is no
room within doors. On the second floor
are the sleeping apartments of the S1bel-
hor family. They are of shooting-galleTw
proportions, being less than three feet wide,
by thirty-ive feet long. The structure,
which very much resembles a huge up-

construction.

HOW MEN DIE.
Not as Much During Ocean Travel as
Is SuppOsed-The Dangers That Be-
set People in Everyday Life.

There is a popular idea that the captain
of a great ocean steamer usually goes to
his death in heroic fashion, standing alone
at the prov of his sinking or burning ship
after all the passengers and crew have been
snugly bestowed in the boats He doesn't
do anything Of the sort. After many hum
dred voyages he usually retires on a pen
sion, or well-earned competency, and
dies at last at home and in bed, like most
other people.
This is only another way of saying that
ocean travel, commonly supposed to be a
dangerous matter, is really very safe How
long is it since there has been any dis
aster with serious loss of life at sea? Com
pared to the deadly accidents by land
travel or those of daily occurrence in other
directions, and compared particularly with
the deaths from accidental Diseases those
caused by crossing the ocean are hardly
noteworthy
The life insurance companies know that
expected that happens, in incident and To-
cality, quite as much as in the dire event
itself Not by the loss Of the stanch ocean
steamship does man frequently pass from
earthly vision, though people will seeming
ly never quite get over the belief that there
is something tremendously hazardous in
the trip to Europe. 1t is in the ordinary
movements and avocations of life that the
unseen chance of accident turks. More peo-
pie are said TO be killed or injured falling
down stairs every month than are hurt or
lost by railway accidents in a year, though
ately much greater taan from fatal acct
dents at sea-
life or accident insurance company
knows that 1t will never have many losses
to pay from ocean disasters. but that 'mov-
ing accidents by flood and field, and the
illnesses that come like a thief in the
night, are destined to carry off men at all
times and places.
