The older countries, in spite Of the
rapid strides we have made in inven-
tion, are good deal ahead Of us in
many ways. There is the question Of
the disposal Of garbage. for instance!
1t is said that 1t costs the city of New
York about 100000 year to get rid
of it, while many English cities, by
burning it in special furnaces, not only
destroy it in the most effective way,
but actually make q profit out of it..
The furnaces dry 1t out SO that 1t may
be used as fuel, and this fuel is used in
making steam for pumping water, run
ming electric plants and for grinding
up such parts of the refuse as may be
converted into cement, tiles and paw
ing blocks. This plan is in use In sew
enty or eighty of the smaller cities of
England, and a million dollar plant is
being erected in London.

from the official report furnished by

that life under the ocean wave scarce

At the conference Of Coroners OF
England and Wales, held at the Hol-
born Restaurant, the loss OF juvenile
life by burning came up for discussion.
The Home Secretary had requested
the society to inform him as to the
statistics OF the deaths resulting from
this cause. A partial investigation
had taken place, which showed that
within a brief period there had been
in round numbers 100 children burned
to death in English houses. 1900 fatal

no fireguard was In use to prevent this

criminal negligence been proved, and

special representation to the Home
Office on the subject in terms to be

The intelligence displayed by some
desk sergeants frequently excites the
awe and wonder of the operators at
Police Headquarters in Brooklyn,
whose duty it is to receive reports of
police happenings over the telephone
from the various station houses.
The other night sergeant in one of
the South Brooklyn precincts was
sending in report about slight ac-
cident in which a man was injured.
The ambulance surgeon who attended
the man had described the nature OF
his injury to the intelligent patrolman
on the post, and the latter jotted it
down in his book while returning to
the station house. The intelligent SER
geant, reporting to Headquarters, de-
scribed the mans injuries as follows:
"He received q precise wound of the
alteration"
"a WHAT" asked the astorished op-
orator.
The sergeant repeated the descrip-
tion OF the wound.
"Say," said the operator, "you don't
expect me to enter any such fool re-
port as that, do you? You'd better
study the thing over"
The sergeant consulted with the
patrolman, and then returned to the
telephone.
IT made mistake about that, old
man,. he admitted to the operator.
"The officer says it's spliced wound
of the abandonment. It's dead easy
to get mixed on them medical terms,
you know"
To the operator the thing was now
shrouded in impenetrable darkness.
Despairing of obtaining any light from
the sergeant or patrolman, he called
up the ambulance surgeon at the hos
pital.
"Say, doc" he asked, "what kind of
an injury has that man got whom you
just brought in?"
"An incised wound Of the ABDOMEN"
explained the surgeon.

ting like whirling dervish, the opera

What q wonderful era Of generosity

and the reports of those managers are
enough to move the obelisk to tears.
Troubles Of their own? They haven't
anything but trouble, and their opin-
ion isn't fit for publication. Still, the
experiment IS proving successful and
insures steady supply at a rational
price, although the company does not
expect to obtain from its own land
enough chicle to fill its requirements.
The quality of chicle varies accord
ing to the district from which it
comes. the geological formation of the
soil affecting the elasticity and purity
of the gum. According to the quality
used, the care expended upon purify
ing it, and the proportion of it used,
chewing gum is good Or bad. The
cheap grades are necessarily inferior,
for, though good gum could be made
cheaply in earlier times, that is impos-
sible now. The cost of chicle has
lisen from two or three cents to thirty
cents, and there is a ten per cent. duty
upon it.
The best chewing gum manufacture
crs test all chicle carefully and reject
all that is not of the best quality.
THEY employ expert chemists. and,
under their supervision the gum is re-
fined again, until it is free from all i'm
purities. 1he best gum when chewed
may be pulled out into very fine
threads before it will break. If it will
not DO that, or if there is a rubber
like recoil when the tension is les
sened the gum is of inferior quality.
Paste, sugar and essential oils are
added to the chicle in the making of
the chewing gum, the different manu-
facturers have their own formulas and
processes which are jealousy guard
ed. The one company referred to has
factories in several cities and pays
