GLASS IN CONFECTIONERY.

Sand in Sugar Outdoue by Sweets
Nade Sparkling with Glass Crystal.
1t seems that sweets are made to
glitter by means of splinters Of glass,
so that the sweet has the appearance of
consisting of sparkling crystal sugar.
We have in our laboratory at the time
Of writing some specimens of even high
class confectionery, said to be of
French make. which all contain a lib
eral sprinkling of glass flakes. When
the sweet is dissolved In warm water
the flakes tumble to the bottom of the
fluid into miniature heap of broken
glass. The flakes present both sharp
points and sharp edges, which are emil
nently calculated to cause an injury to,
or even to perforate, the walls of the
digestive canal. 1t Is difficult to imag-
Inc a more powerful mechanical lrri-
tant than jags of glass which might
easily cause laceration and hemor-
ances, such as are set up by foreign
bodies less jagged than glass, in the
alimentary canal, says a writer In the
London Lancet. The sweets to which
we have referred were sent to us by
correspondent with a request for an
alysis, and he relates that these sweets
were partaken of by two little children
who shortly aftelward suffered from
severe abdominal pain, In one case in
the region of the appendix. The pain
persisted for several days. The effect
of sharp CLASSY particles lodging in
the appendix could, of course, be east
ly disastrous. Our analysis enables us
to say most positively that these gilt
tering particles are glass. They are
quite unchanged in boiling water or
in boiling acids, and they melt into
beads at red heat. On analysis we
obtained silica, lime, soda and little
lead, which are the constituents of
common glass. 1t is probable that the
practice is adopted In order to COM
pensate for the absence of any crys-
talline appearance in glucose, which is
now SO much used as a substitute for
cane sugar in confectionery. In such
case the practice Is not only mon
strous because it is likely to lead to
serious injury to health, but because
1t Is fraud also. Sanded sugar was
bad enough. but to put glass splinters
In sweets is diabolical.

The Joke ON the snake chnrmer.

Vhe Joke on the snake Cnarmer.
Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans when
a young officer was on the Indian sta
tion in the man-of-war Delaware. With
several others he set up bungalow on
shore. He tells in "A Sailors Log"
published by the Appletons, what hap
pened to a snake charmer that came
along:
"The unfortunate thought came to
one of our men that it would be good
idea to get the Mohammedan drunk to
see what he would do. So he prepared
a dose for him that was very effective.
He poured good stiff drink of brandy
into beer glass and then filled it with
gin instead of water. The charmer
took kindly to the drink and In short
time rolled out of his chair on to the
floor very drunk and was soon fast
asleep.
"'rhe bag of snakes had not been
thought of up to this time, but 1t also
fell, and the inhabitants quickly spread
over the floor. In the meantime five
American officers took to the table and
drawing their feet up, carefully re-
mained there until the snake charmer
slept off his dose. He snored quietly
while the snakes crawled over and
around him, but 1t was long time be-
fore he finally came to himself, secured
his pets and took them away. We did
not repeat that experiment"

appreciate the fact that such people
are respecting him and the reputation
he has. | remember miner once who
was prospecting on the Yukon and who
met bald-face bear on the way. The
bear stopped and waited for the miner
to move out and give him right of way,
but the miner was a little stubborn
and being new in the country. started
in to slap the bear with his pick. The
bald-face simple used that awful fore
paw of his, according to his habit, and
left his invariable mark ON the miner
as was discovered when they found
him. When the Siwash Indian goes
out to hunt the bald-face bear he takes
his whole family along, for he stands
in mortal fear of the animal. When
they have located the bear they give
him battle in body, and these battles
are always fierce and frequently dis
astrous to the hunters. One time
was locating mine on Eldorado Greek
and found four Indian graves on the
mountain. | wondered how they came
there and why, and learned afterward
that Siwash family that had been
scalped by bald-face bear in a bat
tie.
"There are two species of bear In
Alaska besides the bald face-a big
sh-brown fellow and a smaller
black bear. All Alaska bears love to
fish, and stand in the streams when
the salmon are running and scoop them
out in great numbers. During the sal
mon season the banks of the streams
are strewn thickly with these big fish
that the bears have thrown out, from
mere wanton cussedness. When first
went to the Yukon country / saw bear
tracks along the margin of the river
that l daren't tell you the size of. They
were so big that they were alarming to
look at. l saw many monstrous bears
in that region after that, but none big
enough, it seemed to me, to fit those
tracks"

Dh. LUDWIG MONDs has OCCh
working to discover combustible gas
which could be made and sold to man
ufacturers for use as fuel at rate
which would pay profit both to the
customer and the gas company. At last
he has succeeded, statement in which
he is sbacked by the Endorsement Of
some important scientific bodies. He Is
now able to produce combustible gas
which can be sold profitably in large
quantities as low as four cents thou
sand feet, and which Is already being
used by few manufacturers. The
new gas is coal gas, made by forcing
the ordinary coal gas through the in
candescent coal, together with other
processes which are too technical to be
easily understood. With this new gas
for use as fuel, manufacturers Of all
kinds will be able to make great reduc-
tions in the cost of production, with a
corresponding decrease in the cost to
the consumer of their products.

NEW YORK, March 29.-There was an

stock market today. The individual eX-
amples of notable strength served as an
effective prop to the whole market and
kept the bullish spirit in the ascendant
although profit-taking was on an enorm-
GUS scale all day. The movement was
not especially connected with any new
development. but everything received a
favorable Interpretation from the en-
thusiastic bulls, and if anything unfavor-
able came to their notice it was totally
ignored. Burlington and United States
Steel stocks were the most CONSPICUOUS
features in the market as was the case

CATTLE-We have had splendid

Butcher offerings have been light. and
packers have been buying readily at full

ton OF rough and habitat steers. This
class of stuff has been a little slow, and
prices are shade lower. In the stock

have had more active market if we
had had more good cattle large per-
centage OF the offerings have been COM
mon and off-colored, and this stuff Is
dragging badly with only an occasional
chance sale. 1t has been a different
story with the good cattle. Buyers have
been on hand all week and have been bid
