SEALED UP
ALIVE

AS flies are preserved in amber, so
men who mine for ozocerite or mineral
wax sometimes are overwhelmed in
the soft mass formed out by the enor-
nous pressure of the confined gases
and are imbedded and sealed up alive
in the sticky stuff, to be uncovered,
perhaps, only in the lapse of ages, as
new and interesting fossils, unless
their comrades, with infinite labor,
rescue their bodies. Ozocerite is found
in Canada and Mexico, as well as in
Austria-Hungary, Russia, Roumania,
Egypt and Algeria, usually in connec-
ton with rock salt and coal; but so far
1t has not been discovered anywhere
in sufficient quantities to pay for the
mining except in the district of Bory-
slaw, in the Austrian province of Gall
cia, and to a limited extent at Tchele-
kan, an island on the west coast OF
the Caspian Sea. Not so long ago
half a hundred miners of oZocerite in
Boryslaw were killed each year in the
galleries, but since 1884 the govern
ment has taken measures to protect
their lives. America imports an incon-
siderable quantity of crude ozocerite,
only about eleven tons of the 5000
exported yearly from Austria; but
when refined and made into ceresln
the product enters this country in the
form of Geographic cable wax, shoe
polish and wax candles. In the latter
manufacture 1t is mixed with beeswaX,
which not only increases the fusibility
of the beeswax, but also makes the
candles much whittier. Ceresin also is
employed in the manufacture OF
photographic cylinders, in modelling
in galvano-plastic printing, in making
shoemaker's wax and parafle and in
many other ways. Mineral wax is
never found pure, and such of the
crude material as is intended for ex-
port, is freed from earth, small stones,
etc. near the mines. 1t is put into
tanks, which are heated either by a
direct fire or by steam. In the former
case, the furnace is so arranged that
the flames strike the sides as we'll as
the bottom of the tank, for otherwise
the wax overheats, causing partial dis
tillation At all the larger works in
Boryslaw steam is used now for this
process. In the beginning the steam
must have the degree Of heat neces-
sary to melt the wax. Subsequently
only sufficient heat need be main
tanned to keep the mass in liquid
state. This is continued until all
earthly and other foreign matter has
settled to the bottom. The wax is de-
canted into iron congealing vessels

Land of the
InCdS

Ecuador is just beginning to awaken
from its lethargy, and to learn the
meaning of the words progress and
prosperity. The oldest of all the South
American republics is rich in unde-
veloped resources, which are beginning
to attract the attention of foreign in
vestors. A company of American and
English capitalists is building a rail-
road from Chimbo to Quito, piercing
the very heart of the Andes; others,
with the pioneers inherent love for
adventure, are pushing their way into
the interior ahead OF the railroad, TAX
ing up land for haciendas, and pres
pecting in the mountain chains and
valley streams for the god regions,
which were the source of the wonder
full wealth of the Incas.
II is next to impossible to get at
the population of Ecuador, but even
including the uncivilized Indians IL is
doubtful IL the number of inhabitants
can be reckoned at more than 1,300,-
600. With such a small population a
fertile land lavishes its treasures in
vain. From the coast to the interior
the virgin forests hold In store i'm
mense riches awaiting development
The republic has gold, silver and cop

cipality of Beyrut had added a $4,000

The Turkish government has given
many important commercial conces-
sions to foreign nations, and the Sui
tan is watching the undermining pro-
cess with interest. Trade is the great
cemonter of nations, and is also the
great iconoclast. No spot, however
hallowed by tradition, is sacred from
its inroads. A profusion of modern
factory products thrust incons.der-
ately before every traveller widens the

Is tho Welsh Tongue Doomed ?

At a recent eisteddfod, held at Dol
gelly, one of the principal speakers
caused a small sensation by express
ing the fear that the Welsh language,
for so many centuries the vehicle OF
noble thoughts in prose and verse, was
doomed, sooner or later, to extinction.
1t was useless, he said, to ignore the
fact that the census returns of 1871
with those of 1891 showed a decrease
in the twenty years in the number Of
those resident in Wales who were able
to speak Welsh of 10 per cent. The
number who were able to speak Welsh
in 1871 was ,006 100 and the number
in 1891 was only Oil ,2S9. a decrease of
1851 in spite of the increase OF popu-
latlon. This was the more significant
inasmuch as the decrease began soon
after the passing of the elementary ed
ucation act of 1870. He appealed to his
fellow countrymen to hold fast to their
fine old tongue, and urged them to in
sist upon the Welsh language being
taught in the day schools in the same
way that English is taught, particular
ly in the lower standards. He hoped
before long every child in Wales would
be able to read and write in English
as we'll as any English child, and to
read and write their own language
in addition. He appealed to the various
sections of his countrymen to use all
the means in their power to bring this
about-New York Post.

Prairie Fires
and Politics

When Senator Thomas L. Plat was
approached by the friends of Judge
Gresham in 1888 and solicited for his
help in securing Gresham's nomina-
ton. he was told that the prairies were
on fire for Gresham. His reply was
characteristic. He said in his quiet
way:
Yes, l have heard Of prairie fires.
They are easily started. In the old
days n careless hunter or traveller
might drop lighted match upon the
prairie, and there would instantly be
a fire which would sweep the country
for miles around. But when the grass
was burned the fire was gone. And
never heard of any great damage done.
In fact. | have heard it said that the
western people used to start these prai-
rie fires every year, just to get rid CT
the dry grass.
1--WE do not have such fires in New
York. In that country it requires a
good deal of effort to get up a con-
fiagration. l have seen a fire started
in the fields, which crept along the
ravines. where the grass was dry, and
