GOOD MARKETS FOR BEER.
Excellent Chances Open for Euer-
getic American Brewers.

In the annual report Of Consul Hollis,
of Lourenco, Marquee. Africa, he speaks
of the Introduction of American beer as
follows:
There is a very good market for beer
of all kinds here Large quantities Of
English ale and stout are consumed; but
these beers are too heavy and are un-
suited TO the climate, and the old resi-
dent after awhile drops them for some
thing lighter, such as German Pilsener
beer.
Lately, several parties have endeav-
ored to introduce American lager beer
here, and, considering the present com
mercial depression, think they are max
ing some headway. The brands that have
been sold here are generally well liked,
and. when trade improves. a very good
business in this line can be worked up
by American brewers OF really flrst-class
beers.
~ have noted that some American
brewers are too conservative in their
business methods for this country. They
want remittances to cover all orders, and
are not at all inclined to ship sample

Wrestling from the air its most vital prin-

The application of ozone is simple
enough process. In getting wood for mu-
stcal instruments the timber is merely
given an ozone bath. Wines and liquors
are impregnated with ozone for a given
time when they are found to be much
matured as to taste. Doubtless this ex-
cess of oxygen promotes quickly the pro-

President Gompers. of the Federation

with Secretary Long, who told him that
in the naval establishment there would
be no working over eight hours except in
a national public emergency. and when
there was overwork the employees will be
given one and one-half pay for extra
time the same as is paid in other estab-
lishments.

lied, and ozone would flow from the other
end of the tube.
All commercial ozonizers are built on
this principle. Condensers are caused to
generate ozone within chamber. Air is
kept flowing through this chamber at a
rapid rate. 1t goes in one side of the ap-
paratus as air; it comes out the other side
as ozone.
The ozone is not allowed to escape, but
is confined in special portable chambers,
or in permanent chambers when 1t is in
tended to be used on the premises.
After all, ozone is merely electrified air.
and any apparatus will produce II which
will very rapidly charge heavy flow of
air. The endeavor in all the apparatus
now in use is to multiply this electrolyz-
ing effect.
Andreolfs ozonizer is an odd-appearing
affair. Clamped with frame is a series
of aluminium and glass plates standing on
edge. First there is fiat aluminium plate
then glass plate, then plate composed
of a great number of aluminium wires
stretched across a fiat wooden frame;
next another glass plate. then another
fat aluminium plate, and so on indefinite
ly, or until the unit or ozonizer is made
up.
The glass plates are intended insulators
between the two kinds of aluminium
plates. The latter are charged with a
heavy alternating current. The whole
apparatus is confined within a chamber
Air is pumped rapidly through this cham
Der. The alternating current in endeav-
oring to flow between the two kinds of
aluminium plates electrifies the air, and
the result is ozone at the other end of
the machine. The quantity now produced
is ninety-four grams per horse power per
hour.
II is most interesting to see an oxon-
izer at work and to note its various fields
of usefulness. The appearance of every
ozone plant depends on the kind of work
to be done with the apparatus. The pun
gent smelling substance makes its pres
ence known as soon as one not used to
it enters the chamber in which 1t is
made.
The sensation in ones nose and throat
is not altogether pleasant. 1t is chok-
ing to some persons; simply annoying
to others. Many persons cannot stand
It at all; others do not mind it in the
least. In the daytime the odor is most
apparent within the chamber; at night
the odor is forgotten In view of the spec
tacular features of the apparatus.
The action of the glass and metal
plates as the strong current of electricity
plays ON them is beautiful. When the
current is turned on a slight phosphor-
escence appears all over the plates, grow
ing into a great glow which spreads over
the apparatus and finally fills and lights
up the room.
Photographs of the ozonizers have been
taken with no other light than that con-
tanned in this glow. 1t is like the illu-

yANY Fields FOR OZONE

IT'S MAGICINDUSTRIAL USES
Interesting Statement of How the
Electrified Air Is Manufactured
and the Apparatus Needed-PrO-
duced in Grcnt Qunntities-Its Eff
feet on Persons Widely Differs.

The time comes when ozone, the smell
OF electricity" may be had at the corner
grocery, and no housewife will be with
out 1t, says the Boston Globe.
Ozone has been known for nearly fifty
years as one of the marvellous constitu-
ents of the air, but it is only recently
that scientists have learned its magical
uses for practical industrial purposes.
Now they offer 1t for the bleaching of
fabrics, yarns, wax and fats; sterilizing
drinking water, drying and thickening
oils, maturing wine and spirits, sweeten-
ing foul beer barrels, seasoning linoleum,
aging wood for musical instruments,
manufacturing artificial perfumes, treat
ing spent OIL purifying starch and dex-
trine, manufacturing vinegar. and a score
of other similar purposes.
In the treatment of disease 1t is most
efficacious. Excellent results have been
obtained in the treatment of anaemia,
whooping cough, malaria, tuberculosis,
wounds, and It is used for purifying hos
pital wards.
Until lately a test of the matter of its
great usefulness was not possible, be-
cause ozone could not be made in very
large quantities.
Electrical discharges in the atmosphere
produce it readily. Its pungent odor can
be noticed around the poles of a static
machine when the glass plates are re-
volying. Produced in this way, IL escapes,
or rather reverts to its original form in
the atmosphere. But it may be confined
easily.
For instance. II the two poles of the
electric machine were to be continued by
means of wires through the sides of a
large glass tube so that the sparks would
be generated inside the tube, the air flow-

Pride of Ancestry.

Nowadays every Jamaica negro prides
himself on descent or connection with
the Maroons. who murdered the French
and defied the English. in 1851, claiming
the famous old Cadjoe as one of his pro-
genitors and ignoring every other color
in his blood but black or brown. Yet the
truth is that the blood of almost every
nation mingles in his veins. While the
cocoanut head, crowned with stiffest
wool. predominates. every kink of the
hair and color of the eyes may be found,
with almost every shade of complexion,
from ebony to good Jersey cream.
Among the most singular people in Ja-
maica are the colored Jews, who unite
the dark skin and protruding lips of the
African with the Hebrews sharp fea-
lures, twinkling eyes and nose of abnor-
NAL development. There is a very large
Jewish element in the island. in propor-
ton to its size and population. Kingston
alone has a Jewish colony 5000 strong.
They control the mercantile business:
and with the same accommodating spirit
which distinguishes the sect elsewhere
they are always ready to lend a helping
hand under the sign of the three golden
balls, to any spendthrift Creoles who are
bent on running themselves. The excep-
tional social Importance of the Israelites
in Jamaica is due to the fact that the
island was settled while Cromwell ruled
in England. and everybody knows that
the Protector sympathized strongly with
the refugees from inquisatorial persecu-
tion in Spain and Portugal. There are
two fiourishing synagogues in Kingston,
one for Spanish and Portuguese Jews.
which also includes the negroes; the 9TH
er for English and German Jews.
This ought to be the most pious ISL
and under the sun, judging from the
church records. Although the institutions
of the Church of England are most in ev-
idence, fully one-third of the population
are Baptists, and every other religious
denomination is represented Looking
over the statistics, l find that there are
40,2S3 Episcopalians in Jamaica; 81, 42S

UNUSUAL HONEYMOON.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roller Hemmed In by Snow
at the Monte Christie Mine.

Miss Laura Elisha Leet of Denver,
who on Oct. l6 last was married to Ar
thur A. Roller, is having very unusu-
al honeymoon. She and her young hus-
band are imprisoned at the Monte Chris
to silver mine, in the Cascade noun
tains of northern Washington, hemmed
in on all sides by snow. Provisions are
beginning to grow scarce. 1t is probable
that the young woman will be forced to
brave the hardships of snowsho trip
of 30 miles to civilization.
No communication between those at
the Monte Christie mine and the outside
world can be had except by means of
messengers who are sent over the frozen
crust on snowshoes. Those who have
made the trip report narrow escapes
from avalanches which the slightest
provocation sends rushing down the
mountain sides, carrying with them
huge trees and powders. Mrs. Roller
is former leader of Denver society.
Immediately after her marriage to
young Roller the couple went to the
