BOARD OF EXAMINERS,
No More Room for Women at the
Southern California Asylum.

AT the meeting of the State Board Of
Examiners yesterday afternoon a COM
munication from DR.. NJ. B. Campbell,
Medical Director of the Southern Cali
fornia State Asylum, was read.
The letter stated that the two wards
erected for the use of women patients
are now overcrowded, and asked that
the board notify the Judges of the
Superior Courts not to send any more
women to that asylum.
The board decided that the matter Of
notification was one for the trustees
of the asylum themselves, and sug-
gestion was also made to them that
they should first receive patients from
those farther south.
A number OF bills from the Home for
the Feeble Minded at Glen Ellen were
laid aside, as the supplies furnished
had been purchased contrary to law.
The law requires these supplies to be
advertised for. while these had been
purchased in the open market.
The excuse of the Superintendent
was that when he advertised for these
supplies he received no bids and was
compelled to purchase them to keep the
institution running.
The bills were laid aside till the next
meeting, and the superintendent was
rotified to readVertise according to law
in future
The board then went into executive
session on State Printing Office mat
ters.

Making Combustlbles.

A writer in L'Industrie describes a
simple process devised by the chemist
Yelna, namely, that of using petroleum
or mineral tar only for enriching culm
and other inferior and formerly worth
less combustibles, and from this ma
terial producing briquettes, the heat
ing power of which is represented to be
80 per cent higher than that of good
coal. In this process mixture is first
prepared consisting Of petroleum or BIZ
luminous shale tar, oleine and soda, in
suitable proportions, by this means the
culm, slack, or coal dust being cement
ed together. Three kinds of briquettes
are produced in this way, those known
as industrial briquettes for the manu-
facture of Illuminating gas, and metal
lurgical coke. It is we'll known that
brown coal has heretofore been the
principal resort for the making of bri-
quettes; later, however, experiments
with briquettes of solidified petroleum
or residuum have been made, as a pre-
sumable improvement-thes failing to
result satisfactorily, at least in the case
of boilers, which were unable to with
stand the intense heat developed by
such fuel.

Cast-We1ded Joints.


In paper before the convention of
the American Street Railway Associa-
ton at st. Louis, Superintendent w. X.
Bowen of the Chicago City road recent
ly gave some decisive data showing the
value of cast-welded joints. From this
statement it appears that of the $1,000
castwelded joints made on his road in
1896, only 1854 were lost, and these
breakages were due to flaws in the
metal, comparative tests having shown
the joint to be actually far stronger
than the rail itself. These joints are
made in a simple manner. After the
rail ends have been scraped or filed off
so as to present a bright surface, a cast
iron mould is placed around the Joint.
the fit being made SO exact as to pre-
vent the escape of any metal from the
mould; the metal is then poured in.
and the outer part of the casting being
chilled by the mould, sets first. form
ing crust which retains the molten
metal. AS this crust contracts faster
than the interior, the latter is forced
up against the rails and more per-
feet contact is insured; the operation
results, in word, in a joint that is
solid and continuous.

A Legal Lumtnary.
The young lawyer was consulting in

charged with stealing stove.
"No, no." he said, soothingly; Il

that you were guilty, I wouldn't de-

Mounting Photographs on Glass.

1t is frequently the case that one
may desire to mount photographs up
on glass. This is very easily done,
but one or two points should be very
carefully observed. Do not attempt to
mount photograph on cheap glass.
The effect will not be satisfactory. Sc
lect good plate, clean it thoroughly
and place it where it will rest stead
lily under considerable pressure. Soak
four ounces of gelatine for half an hour
in cold water, then place in glass jar,
adding sixteen ounces of water; put
the jar in large dish of warm water
and dissolve the gelatine. When dis
solved pour in a shallow tray. Have
the prints rolled on a roller, albumen
side up; take the print by the corners
and pass rapidly through the gelatine,
taking care to avoid air bubbles.
Squeeze carefully on to the glass. The
better the quality of glass the better
the effect.

Flre-proof Building Material,

A Boston inventor has put out new
building material which Is said to be
absolutely fire-proof. It is made of
ground marble or stone, coal cinders
and sawdust mixed with magnesia and
some chemicals, the names of which
have not been made public, and as the
secret is guarded with jealous care,
they are not likely to be. The mate
rial is ground to a semi-liquid con-
sistency and is then poured into molds.
There is no burning, as the hardening
process is a chemical one. There are
also ftre-proofing blocks and bricks
made of coal cinders, sawdust and 9TH
er materials. These bricks weigh about
III or two-thirds as much as those OF
terra Gotta of the same size and cost
but about half as much.

New System of OIL Lighting.

Experiments are being tried with a
system of oil lighting that suggests
the use of the student lamp on large
scale. There is central reservoir and
small pipes through which the oil is
fed to the burners, drop by drop. There
is an automatic system of cut-offs that
prevent any waste or leakage and in
sure steady and continuous supply,
whether there are many burners or
few. 1t seems that the only inconyeni-
ence to this system is that all of the
pipes must be of the same level in
order to avoid the leak that would be
inevitable were the oil to accumulate
in perpendicular tubes.

Eject of 1noanaescent Lights on Eyesisht

Effect of Incandescent Lights on Eyesieht
The mantle of the Auer incandescent
light is made of a network of rare OK
ides. These, on being heated in the
Bunsen fame, emit brilliant white
light. 1t is claimed that no injury to
the optic nerve has as yet been caused
by this system of lighting. 1t has,
however, been asserted that the ordi-
nary electric light is exceedingly try
ing to the eyes, but when covered by
globe, through which the rays must
pass, there is less chance of injury.
Red or orange globes are thought to be
the best, and these, if properly adjust
ed, are considered a perfect safeguard.
