FORTUNES FROM GARBAGE



William George Jordan, writing on
"Wonders of the Worlds Waste" in
The Ladies Home Journal, says: 1.-The
garbage Of a great city is worth n for.
tune every year if properly utilized. In
St Louis the refuse is placed in enor-
nous vertical cylinders, surrounded by
steam jackets, which evaporate the 20
to so per cent Of water in the garbage.
The fatty substances are dissolved, and
as the result Of number of processes a
fertilizer is produced which is worth
from 80 to $l2 per ton, the demand ex.
ceeding the supply. One of the purest
and best soaps of the country was made
of garbage grease before cottonseed oil
entered the field. 1t is now proposed to
light London by electricity for nothing.
1t now costs that city sl.0S (4s. Sd. to
get rid of a ton Of garbage. A combina-
ton of rollers and other apparatus has
been devised that can burn the garbage
at "a cents shilling) per ton and gen
crate steam sufficient to run enough dy-
namos to light the entire city. London
can thus save 3s Sd. on each ton and
in addition illuminate its city without
cost. Garbage, by machine called the
dust destructor, is converted into clink-
ers, which can be used for roadways. as
artificial stone for sidewalks and as
sand for mortar and cement. In Paris
the invisible PARTICLES Of iron, worn
from wheels and from the shoes Of
horses, are rescued by passing powerful
magnets through the sweepings

"The time is not far distant when

the borders Of the strait of Magellan,

CHANGING THE CALEN OAR /.


Jan. Is not compare ble as a public
holiday with Christmas as TO the uni
versatility or antiquity Of its observance.
Before 1862 the year began on March
%. The change in the calendar was
made III that year for Great Bri tain 10y
al act Of parliament, and we inherited
the existing custom Of marking the be-
ginning Of the year from the mother
country. The day was not observed in
colonial times with the formality which
has marked its observance in later years.
After the colonies had adjusted business
affairs TO the new date the LIST of Janu-
airy grew in Importance and in course of
time became legal holiday.
An interesting incident Of the change
Of the calendar in 1852 was the drop
ping of II days, between Sept. and
IL, giving that month only 10 days, to
bring the English into harmony with
the Gregorian calendar The omission
Of the IL days attracted great interest.
and long notice Of the proposed innova-
ton was given in the newspapers Of the
period, SO that business affairs could be
accommodated to what was called the
new style. - The act Of parliament cor
recting the calendar also ordained that
the years 1900, 1900, 2lO0, 2200, 23OO
or any hundredth year. except only
every fourth hundredth, shall not be
deemed leap years, but shall be consid-
cred common years of 800 days only and
that the years 1000, 24O0. $500 and
every fourth hundredth shall be leap

Every year whose nun Der is divisible
by four is leap year. exc' IT only when
the number ends with co. in which case
it is leap year only WHEN the preceding
figures are diyisible BY four. By this
rule the year 1890 will not be leap

FOURTH EXPEDITION.
Troops Under the Command of General M. P. Miller or H. G.
 Otis May Sail July g.

With the departure of the third expe- dition to Manila the next question of in- terest to arise among the officers and men at Camp Merritt is, When will the fourth expedition leave and of what troops will'it be composed?
 There has been some talk of sending all the troops on the next transports to go, but this plan is not deemed feasible.
 From excellent authority 1t has been ascertained that the fourth expedition will sail from here about the 9th of July with either Miller or Otis in command, and with Major General Otis accompany ing the expedition. With the rebrigading of the forces General H. G. Otis has the Seventh California, Fifty-first Iowa. First South Dakota and First Montana under his command. To this there will likely be added the Twentieth Kansas, as one of the four regiments of the Third may be dropped and Colonel Funston's s regiment substituted It is known that Major General Otis thinks very highly of Colonel Funston and the Twentieth Kan sas has greatly improved since he as- Sumed command.
