NEW USE FOR COAL DUST.
Somebody Apparently Selling It Widely
 in Place of Anthony.

4 rural chemist has accidentally dis covered a curious case Of adulteration, or. more accurately. Of substitution in the matter of a drug commonly sold in pharmacies. rural and urban. The drug is the trf-sulphide Of antimony, commonly known as black antimony. The chemist ia analgzing patent remedy discovered that the ingredients nearly eoresponded with those in formula furnished by the Agricultural department but that coal dust had been substituted for black antimony. Struck with this discovery. the chemist obtained twelve samples of black anti mony. most Of them from druggists in his own neighborhood. but one from New York. of these, only one was really black antimony; the others were coal dust, coal dust and chalk or coal dust and sand There is no reason to suppose that the druggists knew of the substitution, for there would be little profit in the deception unless it were praetieed oh a large scale; but..it seems plain that some manufacturing chemist is selling a worthless substi- ute for black antimony. Indeed the substitute may be sent out from more than one factory, for while the dozen samples tested came from the eastern coast. the remedy in which the sub stitution was originally detected came from the west The New York drug gist who sold sample of the substi- ute does business in a fashionable quarter where there is a considerable demand for black antimony on the part of grooms and ecachmen, who use it in the preparation of condition pow ders for horses. Two other druggists in the same neighborhood do not keep black antimony. One of them keeps what is known as red antimony, which IS chemically identically with black antimony though different in appear anee. Red antimeny is product of chemical precipitation. while black antimony Is natural product found in many parts of Europe, in Nova Scotia and Nevada.

GERMANS STRANGE TlMEPiEcE
Took Him le Year. to Make His s4o,ooo

Clock.
 4 remarkable clock is to be placed on exhibition here in the near future. It has taken 16 years for the inventor, Carl Julius Speath, native of Baden, Germany. to build it. Not until 1884 did he start to build this clock. It IS what the inventor calls an astro- uomical art clock. All parts of it were made by speath himself out of raw material. The smaller parts are plated with gold or silver, the larger parts are of nickel The case is ' feet high, I feet wide. and 2 feet deep, and is made out of oak wood. waxed and pol ished On the top, at the left hand. stands a rooster, which crows three times. just before the clock strikes l.. l The cocks crow immediately brings out a cuckoo, which chirps if the seq son picture beneath the roof shows spring: a quail appears and shrieks i if il is summer; in autumn bull l jumps out and bellows, and in winter a lion rushes forth and roars. At the l top. ,oa the right hand, stands the angel Gabriel, who blows his horn after the striking of each hour. In the gallery beneath the roof stand the four eyangelists, Matthew. Mark. Luke and John. Two statues stand in another apartment and strike the quarter hours. Near the first quarter-hour stroke stands a child, near the second a young man, near the third man fully developed. and near the fourth an old man. These figures are sup i posed to illustrate the four stages of human existence. In the center of the l gallery is the Savior, seated upon the clouds. holding book and cross and l showing his wounds. The astronomical part of the clock is very elaborate. The eclipses of the sun and moon are shown distinctly and predicted aecu- rately The position Of the stars and their movements are also shown very beautifully. The milky way, equator zodiac, and meridians are painted on 2 globe. At the lower right-hand cor ner is an extra indication of the date weekday. and month, with the illus trations after which the weekdays are named. The whole clock weighs only 335 pounds. but it's appraised value ir l Germany is $40, ,000.-New York Jour nal.

HOW WE HAVE GROWN.
Wonderful Increase in Population and

The population of the United States, which was about 100000 in Washing son's time. is now 75s000,ooo. The larg- est city in the country then. Philadel- phia, had 69.066 inhabitants, now ii

The states of New York and Pennsylvania have each at present many more fn- habitants than the entire United States had fo0 years ago, says Leslie's Weekly. In 1799 the area of the eoun- try was S27 GOO square miles, while 1t is now 3.7e0, GOO. It's western bound ary. which was the Mississippi then. was long ago advanced to the Pacific. and has now been extended to the Philippines in Asiatie waters. It's southern boundary, which was latitude 3f degrees at that time, the northerly line Of tue present state Of Louisiana. has. in the passing years taken in Florida. with that territory's former extension to the Mississippi, and reach I'd aown to the lower part Of the Gulf of Mexico. Its northerfy line, then the Great Lakes, has, in the case Of Alaska, been stretched far north of the Arctic circle. In the year of Wash ington's death the receipts of the gov ernment were s7.000000 and it's expen- ditures 5000. GOO. In the fiscal year 1899 the expenditures were s700, 1000 ,000 and the receipts were slightly below that mark.

 HUNTING FOR PEARLS.
Two Stars in This Perilous Line of

Two Stars in This periious Line of
 Work.
 Two famous pearl divers recently visited San Francisco to buy a large quantity of air pumps, diving suits and like paraphernalia Of the sea. opa and Taipu are their names, and they are generally regarded as stars in their perilous line Of work They were born on one of the islands of the Dan gerous archipelago group. They speak good English, however. and both are thoroughly familiar with the eiyi1iza- ton Of West Australia, where they have spent most of their lives as pearl hunters. says the New York Telegraph. Taipu is the principal native pearl merchant of the many hundreds who have embarked in the trade since the natives of the Paumotu islands first daDbled in that form Of commerce. He owns pearling dredger and ship; both are engaged in the trade in south western waters. His ship, however. is 9 mere hulk that travels less than ninety miles along the coast. They depend principally upon pearl shells  for income, since to stake earnings on the pearls alone would be to invite loss. Valuable pearls are not frequent enough to make it pay, but the com mereial mother-ef-pearl is made from sae shells that they deal in. When 1t comes to hunting for the real pearl there is not any kind of Q scoop or lredger than can take the place of mems eyes; diving and treading the deep is the only way to find valuable pearls. As 3 rule, these are some dis tance apart, scattered over the rocky bed Of the ocean. Sometimes man will pick up fortune iii few weeks ard sometimes he will hardly make expenses in season. Pearling is still profitable, for the crude shells are sold at from $500 to s750 a ton, and there is always a chance that a diver may make enough in one day to quit for life. We do not dive farther than sixty to 100 feet,t' said Opu, flor the pressure is too great. Even at these depths men cannot remain down over five or ten minutes. and the average life of the deep diver is short"

Armored Glass.

A recent German invention is arm- ored glass, or glass cast with wire gauge inelosed in their substance, so as to increase the resistance to pressure, shock. and the effects of heat. Tests of the new material have been made at the Chemnitz technological museum which show that the armored glass is much stronger, and where the ordin- ary glass broke under sudden applfea= tions of pressure the strengthened ma. terial only cracked, and the cracks caused by changes of temperature did not allow either damn or flame to pass.

NEW CRIMES IN THE CALENDAR
Mans Lawless Ingenuity Is Giving the
 Courts Added Trouble.


 Under the laws of the land as they exist at present the theft of lamp is larceny: 1t may be Roman lamp or Q Greek lamp. an oil lamp or an electric lamp. Whether 1t constitutes grand larceny or petit larceny will in certain states Of the union depend not upon it's age or neWness, but upon it's mar ket value. On the other hand there are great number of modern crimes which could not have been committed in ancient days because the instru ments for their perpetration did not exist. They are the outcome of mod ern civilization and they require new legislation. The tapping Of tele- graph wire is modern form Of high way robbery. In the old days the method was to waylay the courier on the road and to rob him of his purse or of his message. The formula of the modern highwayman is not Stand and deliver but simply Deliver. And he may get a message from the light ming courier which may be worth more to him than a well-illed purse. But there is nothing to be gained by indis- criminate tapping. It is some special message or information that the thief is looking for possibly for it's effect on the stock market or on other busi- ness ventures, but the use of cipher codes renders the tapping of telegraph wires of little avail even in time of war, unless the code as well as the message has been stolen. For the tap- ping of power or light lines the mod ern highwayman comes in out of she rain. He can do his business better indoors by attacking the electric me ter, confusing it's calculations and thus getting more current than he pays for. Such at least seems to be the implica- ton of recent statutes.

TWO IN A SINGLE WEEK.
Assaults ON Young Girls Frequent
In Eighth Ward

A dastardly- assault, hardly paralleled
Tor Doldness, occurred early yesterday
afternoon on Rondo street. Miss Pearl
Willoughby, 403 Rondo street, a grand
daughter of John Willoughby, was the
victim, and, but for the presence Of a
policeman in the vicinity, would have suf-
fered at the hands of stranger giving
the name of Ole johnson.
Miss Willoughby is the daughter Of Mrs
Theodosia Wiiloughby, and lives within
a few blocks Of the scene of the assault
While walking down the street, near the
corner OF Arundel, a roughly dressed
stranger approached her and addressed
insulting remarks to her. She attempted
to pass, but the man seized her and
threw her to the ground. The young
girl was powerless to save herself, but
screamed, ard Ter erie, at once attract
ed Officer Tony Koscohryz. He respond
ed to the cries for help and caught the
william in the very act, in time to save
the young girl.
The girl was sent TO her home, and the
assailant taken to the Rondo street sta
ton. He was surly and uncommunicative
and little information of his antecedents
could be obtained. He alleged that his
name was Ole Johnson and claimed to be
lumberman and a stranger in the city
He offered no explanation of his attempt
upon the girl. The occurrence aroused
intense Indignation in the neighborhood
and the boldness of the assault, perpetrat-
ed at a time when the streets are not
usually free from people, has attracted
considerable attention.
