MUSIC AND DRAMA,
AT THE BIG TENT.

The German-American physicians and
surgeons drew another large audience az
their big tent last night on South Main
street. The performance was such as to
suit the most fasddious, being a varied
vaudeville. Il was strictly high classed
in all respects. They give an entire
change each night al the extreme low
price of ten cents. Ii is a mystery how
they can give such a performance at
such a low figure. even though they do
fiji their big tent Last night new songs
were sung and new specialtes were in
troduced. which with the terpsichorean
steps caused all to pronounce the enter
tainment first class in every particular
The bar work was both laughable and
clever. The songs were good. and the
Juggling and contortion work ELECTED
tremendous applause. The pictures OF
the vitascope and msgniscope were new
and varied. The pictures closed the ev-
ening's performance after three hours Of
solid fun and enjoyment. Tonight Ia
dies will be admitted free OF charge. At
the close Of the evenings entertainment
the doctors will give pictures from the
s,radowgraft, magniscope and vi;ascope.
which will be of extreme interest 10 all
They are drawing large audiences which

The Products From Wood.


1t is not generally known that over sixty
per cent Of wood may be converted into
liquid. The strongest hydraulic perssure
would not squeeze one-half OF per cent
OF moisture from dry wood, but by put
ting the same mateTial into an iron re-
tort and converting it into charcoal by
means OF heat, tile gases aud smoke TO
the extent of fully SO per cent of tile
weight of the wood, may be condensed
into liquid called pyrolieneous acid, and
700 pounds of charcoal. The pyroligneous
acid from one cord of wood produces nine
gallons OF per cent crude wood alcohol
200 pounds OF acetate of lime, and about
20 gallons OF tar, besides 80 bushels of
charcoal After the pyroligneous acid
is neutralized with lime, tue wood alcohol
is distilled off, the lime holding the acetic
acid in sJutiun.
A fter the separation of the wood spirit
the remaining liquid is boiled down IN
open pans To n sugar which is dried a nd
becomes the acetate of lime OF commerce..
Acetate Of lime is used for ma king acetic
acid, Fully tiree.fifths Of all the wood
alcohol end acetate of lime produced in
the world are made in the United States,
Fully $4,000 acres per year are cleared
for this puporse. Wood alcohol affords
q perfect substitute for grain alcohol FOR
manufacturing and mechanical purposes,
and at less than one-third the cost. 1t
is used principally as solvent in the
making Of sheilac varnish, in making
cellu!old, photographic paper, etc. It
makes many beautiful dye tints. 1t is
andseptic and much used for linin-ats
and for skin rubbing in bathhouses.
