OUR NEW YORK LETTER,
Latest Developments In an Affair OF
Commercial Importance.
New York, Feb. 5, 1900.

New York, Feb. 3, 1900.
very great deal has been said and
printed about Liquid Air" and the
wonder has been that up to the present
time no one has, so far as the general
public is aware, succeeded in introduce
ing it as an active commercial agent,
so to speak. 1t has been looked upon
rather as curiosity than as some
thing of real commercial Importance.
At least that is what | had supposed
until few days ago. But just re-
Gently it has been demonstrated to me
and to many others here in New York,
that the marvellous inventions of Pro-
fessor Chas. E. Tripler are being actu-
ally put to the most important and
practical uses. At this very moment
at the Tripler Works and Laboratory,
in West seth street, this city, Liquid
Air" is being made in large quantities
daily at very small cost, and it is
being sold to all the leading hospitals
in Greater New York" where its use
has already proven of the highest
value.
It's use is an economical power for
navigation, for stationary engines, and
for all purposes requiring large and
cheap power, is fully assured because
of the extreme cheapness with which
it can be made by the Tripler process,
and already very many large users OF
power are inquiring of the Tripier
Liquid Air Co. as to making arrange
ments for its use at their works. MI
merous applications for such privileges
to use it are coming in to the Com
rany's New York office, No. IL B'way,
daily. But these gentlemen have de-
cided to not consider these PROPOSE
tions until after the installation of the
plants which they are now putting up
at the Paris Exposition and in London,
Eng.
Applications from every state in the
union as well as from many foreign
countries, have been received by the
Parent Co. here, for permission to or
ganiZe local companies to make and
sell Tripler Liquid Air, and it is the
policy of the Parent Co. to dispose Of
their rights in the several states and
abroad to companies of high financial
standing retaining a large controlling
interest in each subsidiary company.
Thus the stockholders of the Parent
Co. will become the owners of a ma
companies, and receive enormous divi-
bends in consequence. This is the
same policy that was pursued so sue
cessfully by the Parent Bell Telephone
Co., and all the world knows the. pc
cuniary results.
The use OF Liquid Air. for refriger-
ating purposes alone will bring in
many millions to the Tripler Co., as
every refrigerating plant will event
ually adopt it because of its superior
ity in every way to that of the present
ways of refrigerating, and its economy
as we'll.
A limited amount of stock will be
offered to the public, in few days, and
subscriptions will be received by the
Parent Co. for shares at S. per share.
l really do not know of more con-
sentative investment than this, with
the prospect CT so large and so certain
dividends. 1t is rare chance.

AVOID DANGER.
The Danger OF Catarrh O:ntments That
Contain Mercury.


Contain Mercury.
This journal, althou sh more particu-
larly devoted to all that interests
finance, commerce and manufacture
ing, is nevertheless always awake to
the need and wants of its readers, let
the subject be what it may. We were
asked to investigate and report upon
the merits Of the various catarrh rene
dies on the market The production
OF preparations of injurious compost
tiCn cannot. unfortunately, be stopped
or restricted at present, or until our
state legislatures can be induced to
as will effectually prevent their aD-
pearance on the market In the mean
time, the people must look out for
themselves. In this matter, We have
made most careful and painstaking
investigation. realizing the confidence
that would be placed in our reply Our
medical staff employed to make such
Investigations were most favOrably
impressed with the preparation known
as Halls catarrh cure. manufactured
by +. J. Cheney & Co. of Toledo, Ohio
and agreed that this peerless remedy
deserves our highest Endorsement
Many Of the catarrh remedies on the
market contain mercury, which de-
stroys the sense of smell and deranges
the whole system when entering
through the mucous surfaces. From
analysis we found that Halls catarrh
cure contains no mercury. 1t is taken
internally. acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN. We have no interest whatever
in this matter beyond faithfully serv-
ing our readers, and as our indorse-
ment is extended without reward OF
any kind and is wholly unsolicited by
this company. and will be received
with the full credence that all ouI
statements have met with for the past
eighteen years.-Southern Review OF

St. Petersburg. While at Dresden
young Won Buelow was guilty of the
almost objectionable offense of clipping
with the beautiful wife of his chief,
Count Denhoeff. The count hated mu-
sic, whereas the countess was passion
ately fond of IT, The good looking
young secretary dotted on Wagner, and
the two congenial spirits could not live
apart. Young Bernhard was willing
to sacrifice his career for love, and
carried off the lovely Italian wife OF
his superior, who secured a divorce
as soon as he could. Then Won Bue-
low promptly married his Wagnerian
deyotee, and Bismarck's influence at
court soon smOothed over the ruiiled
diplomatic feathers. Won Buelow was
promoted to the position of ambassa-
dor at Rome, whence he was taken
away to be elevated to the imperial
ministry he now holds. That was two
years ago, and the count vas then but

a TEXAS CATTLE KING.

Among the richest of the cattle kings
of Texas is Sam Lazarus, whose for
tune is variously estimated at from
$4,000, 900 to 100000. Years ago when
lad of fourteen he went to Sherman,
Texas, from New Orleans, and entered
mercantile life as clerk. Gradually.
after ten years of clerking, he began
to branch out into the cattle business
and ten years later he was pretty well
up in the financial world In 1892 he
began to invest in cattle extensively
Prices began to fall, but the lower they
went the more did Mr.. Lazarus invest

dicted disasters for the rising cattle
king, but Mr.. Lazarus had supreme
faith in himself and continued his pur.
chases. Then better times came and
when prices were well advanced Mr..
Lazarus began shipping. In oneyear he
shipped over one railroad alone 5000
car loads,or approximately $50 900 head
of cattle. His estimated profit on all
his shipments after the advance in
prices is placed at 100000. Mr.. Lag
arus owns three ranches in Texas, one
at Abilene. one at Lazarus and one
near Wichita Falls. All of them are OF

Trees Advancing In Nebraska.

Prof c. T.. Bessey announces, in a
letter to Science, that he has obtained
evidence that trees, including such
species as oak, hickory, willow, cotton
wood, elm and box elder are rapidly
advancing in eastern Nebraska The
areas covered by them are gradually
creeping up the courses of the streams
and spreading out laterally. In some
cases, the tree belt" along rivers has,
within 20 years, increased in width
from 100 feet to half mile, and even
a mile.

In Scotland no less conspicuously
than in England, divorces are becom-

Artistic Timepiece Which They Manu-

featured During Fay Time.
Mr.. A. +. Thompson, councilman
from the fifth ward, has a clock in his
sitting room which he values more
highly than any article in his elegantly
furnished household, says the Atlanta
Journal. The clock was made by his
sons-Percy, aged IA, and A. +.
Thompson, Jr., aged IL years-and is
wonderful piece of work. 1t contains
over 300 pieces of wood, all of which
were cut from boards with a small foot
power scroll saw, and afterwards sand
papered and put together with screws
and mucilage. The wood used was
maple, white holly and walnut, which
makes the contrast in colors natural
and at the same time striking. The
clock is fifty-One inches tall, twenty
one inches wide at the base and ten
and a half inches deep. The figures on
the dial were cut from walnut with a
pocket knife, and when placed on the
white holly make a beautiful design.
1t took the young boys five weeks of
hard labor to make this remarkable
timepiece, but they are justly proud OF
their work. When it is remembered
that only the crudest tools were used
in it's construction, the results obtain
ed prove the genius Of the two work
men. They We're not engaged on the
clock all the time. as they were at
tending school at the time and only
devoted their leisure moments to the
task. The clock represents a cathe-
dral, with its dome, from which bell
peals forth the hours Of the day.
