Consul Hanauer of Frankfort, re-
ports the invention by DR.. de Gall at
Lemur, France, Of molten wood" a
substance having the character of coal
and possessing several valuable quail
ties apart from its use as fuel. Wood
is placed in a closed vessel, and by
means of dry dstillation and high
pressure the escape of developing gases
is prevented, thereby reducing the
wood to a molten condition. This new
body is hard, but can be shaped and
polished at will; is impervious to
water and acids and is a perfect cleo
trical non-conductor.

per cent.
C. Cawsey, of Cawsey & Carney, the con-
tractors making the addition to the Moor
school, said yesterday II was partially
caused by the fact that the four-room
addition now being built had basement
and slate blackboards, as well as other
minor Celebrations, which the former
did not. He. however, said that the prin-
cipal difference was in the price of labor
and material. He showed the following
particulars:

ADJUSTMENTS.
MHan. the Roatman.v

Eetter evidence that the Third Avenue
theater has a regular patronage could
not be shown than the fact that the
Moore-Roberts company opened to a
good house last night, with only one days
advertising. Hans the Boatman" is a
pretty play and receives an excellent in
depreciation by this company.
Mr.. Roberts, in the part of Hans, the
good-natured Swiss boatman, reminds one
of Joseph Emmett. His songs with the
children in the first act called forth a
strong curtain call. Miss Maggie Moore,
as Jeffie, a rustic maiden, found a con-
genial character and won favor from the
audience. Little Gladys Bashford, mere
tot, divided the honors with the stars. All
of the other characters of the play were
so well taken that Individual mention is
uncalled for. The play was we'll staged
and the performance one of the smooth
est witnessed at the Third Avenue this
season. Hans the Boatman" will be
repeated tonight and tomorrow night,
also at the Saturday matinee.

that this end will pay the operating ex-
penses until the northern secton Is set

ALREADY a large number Of persons are

faculties. The police Jurisdiction OF the

although there has been little crime WITHIN
the district it is rapidly becoming

but that the road will be built is GER
tainty. How long 1t will take to complete
