By-Product or Soap and Candle Fac.
tories In increased Demand.
Glycerine is used in making nitro.
glycerine, aud nitroglycerine is the
chief constituent of dynamite. 1t also
enters largely into the composition OF
some of the smokeless powders --cor-
dite, for instance. The South African
war, therefore, has brought it into in.
creased demand in England just now,
although its expectation has not been
prohibited, as was the case with car
bolic acid few weeks ago. The fact
is, lyddite, in the manufacture o.
which q derivatiye of carbolic acid is
used, can be handled with less chance
Of accident than dynamite, so that up
to the present time the latter has not
found any extensive application in
war. And even nitroglycerine gun.
powders are going ont Of favor be-
cause of their unstable character and
other drawbacks. Still, for the time
being glycerine enjoys an enhanced
popularity in the markets OF Europe.
Something like forty thousand tons
OF this commodity are made yearly
just now, yet there is nowhere q fac.
tory devoted primarily to its manu-
facture. 1t is a by.product OF soap
and candle factories. II is not itself
fatty, but it is associated with fat in
nature. When alkalies are combined
with the fat, in making either stearine
candles or soap, and then little salt
is added to the compound, the stear
inc, or soap. will separate from the
rest OF the fluid, which is called spent
lye." Formerly the manufactures
allowed the latter to flow away. Now,
however, he saves it and seeks to
eliminate the glycerine.
To begin with he has mixture of
water, glycerine, salt and some other
impurities. The water is boiled of,
the salt recovered for future use, aud
the residue is crude glycerne. This
must be carefully refined before it is
ht for use, but the degree of refine
ment to which il is subjected depends
on the particular fate to which it is
then TO be devoted. Out of hun.
dred tons Of fat not over five tons of
glycerine can be obtained.

Great Fishing Near Hawaii.

Captain John NJ Sass of the gaso,
lene schooner Malolo has just discov.
cred and chartered hitherto unknown
shoas Of considerable area to the
southwest of the island OF Molokai,
Hawaii. The shoals are, in fact, a
submerged extension Of that island
He has found that they extend for
about 80 miles almost due southwest
from Molokai. at a surprisingly uni
form width Of about IL miles. These
shoals give soundings OF from % TO 30
fathoms, ending abruptly on all sides
in soundings showing about 260
fathoms. The shoals seem to be the
top of a submerged plateau with a
very even and smooth surface COW
cred with fine gray coral and affording
excellent anchorage. Tue discovery
was made while sounding for fishing
fields. The water above the shoals
swarms with edible fish OF great ,a'ue.
But il also swarms with sharks
Hooks and lines thrown down to the
bottom Immediately sring up fish, bit
at the second or third throw only
fishes heads comes up, the sharks
having snapped off the bodies OF the
fishes as they are being drawn up
from the depths. Chicago Record.

"a Larned woman whose husband

woman in Kansas. says Austin Neal.
when she feeds the baby she puts
an apron on over its dress, then bib

baby's neck over the bib, and then
holds one hand under the aby's chin
