VALUE IN sAWMILL WASTE Sawdust is Now Being Utilised for
 the Chemical Arts.

According to a consul report recently received at Washington from Montreal machine has recently been invented and put in operation there for extract ing the products of sawdust. The ma- chine is for the distillation of sawdust. and consists of two or more cylinders, arranged one over the other, the center of each cylinder being made to revolve. The whole Is then incased in an oven and subjected to strong heat, the gases generated being carried off by pipes to separate condensers. making a division of the products directly from the machine. The discharge Is so ar ranged that the speed can be chaAged If the fires are not in proper condition.
 The capacity of the machine Is about 2.000 ponds of wet sawdust per hour. but by first drying the sawdust with the combustible gases (of which there Is sufficient evolved to do the heating) Its capacity is more than doubled. Two to four horse power Is required to work the machine. In addition to the gases generated. these products are obtained from 1000 ponds of sawdust, namely: Char, 160 pounds; acids, 1S0 pounds: water PAS pounds; tar, 162 pounds No record was kept of the gases, but the test was made of them for heating and illuminating. They are found to be superior to coal gas, except that they are unpleasantly pungent. This however. would not have been the case had the gases un- derSone a purifying process.

HORSE SENSE.
Evidence that --s.sss Reason--A
 True Story.


 IA remarkable instance of equine sa- gacity was exhibited recently which fs testified to by several reliable witnesses. Thomas Drummond, teamster of Janesville, Wis, as related by by the Gazette of that city, owns a horse which has been afhicted with lameness for two or three weeks. One morning Mfr. Drummond turned him out upon the common, hoping that fresh air and exercise would benefit the animal Upon gaining his liberty the cripple horse hobbled along on three legs direct to the blacksmith shop of William Eager. entered the shoeing department and stood there holding up his injured foot. with his head turned and his eyes ln- telligently fixed upon MT. Eager. This peculiar act upon the part of the animal attracted MT. Eager's attention and induced him to examine the foot held invitingly up for inspection. The result of the examination was the discovery of long nail driven into the frog, the cause of the iamness, which Mir. Eager removed. Mfr, Drummond generally had his horses shod at Eager's shop and the suffering brute undoubtedly req. soned that this was the place for him to go for relief. Equine intelligence. acs cording to the common acceptance of the term, is not SO rare, but when q horse deliberately concocts and ex- ecutes a plan for relieving his injured foot of rusty nail he certainly can lay claim to a small portion of the reason- ing faculties which are supposed to elevate the human race above the level of brutes.

e4 the products sought, the gases are un- doubtedly of commercial value. Soma twenty establishments in Europe make oxalic acid out of sawdust. There are six in Germany, twelve in England. one in France and one in Belgium. The sawdust of some wood Is better than that of others for this purpose. Yellow and white pine. dried, contain 9l per cent of cxalic acid: oak, s3 per cent. There Is a large blaming mill In North Carolina where no fuel is used but saw dust. 1t is first dampened and thsn thrown into the furnace. 6awdust is used in Scotland to some extent in rnalx ing floor cloth and linoleum, certain kind of heavy stamped or embossed ma- teriai to be used instead of wall paper. course wrapping paper and mill boardx and certain coal substances for domes~ tic use.

 The following story is told of young Irish sailor:
 After pulling in forty or fifty fathoms Of line, which put his patience severely to proof, as we'll as every muscle of his arms, he muttered to himself, but loud enough to be overheard by, an of- f1cer:,
 Sure it's as long as today and to- morrow! It's a good weeks work for any five men in the ship. Bad luck to 1t! What! More of it yit? Och, murther! The says mighty deep, to be sure!"
 After continuing in a similar strain, and conceiving there was little proba- bility of the completion of his labors, he suddenly stopped short, and looking up to the officer on the watch, he ex- claimed:
 Bad luck to me, SOFT, if don't be- lave somebody's cut off the other end O. this line!"

Big Reduction in Railroad Rates On Crude and Fuel
 Petroleum

Dallas. Tex. August s.-The State Rail road Commissioners handed in a decis- ion on rates on crude and fuel petroleum, making a big reduction from the present tariff. The decision is a sweeping victory for the oil men and the consumers of oil. It will have the effect of relegating coal and Ignite to the rear. The maxi mum rate on crude petroleum is reduced from 15 cents to 12 cents per 100 pounds in common point territory. The material points in the desicion Is the reduction of the joint maximum rates.
 The present rate on carload crude pe- troleum of say eo0Oo pounds from Beau mont to Dallas is $50. The reduction in rate reduces the freight to $4S The re- duction from Beaumont to Austin is Sh cents on 100 ponds. or s14 per car, which means that all State institutions will be able to use oil instead of coal at large saving to the State. The reduction in rates are graduated and grow lower with the distance. In distance of 150 miles a reduction from 1251 cents to 101A cents per 100 pounds, while the maximum rate on over 275 miles the tariff Is reduced from 15 cents to 12 cents per 100 pounds.

FRISCO POLICE
 DO QUICK WORK
Find Convincing Proof of One Mans Guilt in the Big
 Robbery

san Francisco, August s.-.Captain Sey- mour of the local detective force has dis closed the identity of the man whom the police department has in custody on sus- picion of being implicated in the robbery Of S2So,OOO worth of gold bullion from the seiby Smelling Works at Vallejo Junc- ton. The suspect is John Winters, S7 years of age, a former employe of the smelling company. Captain Seymour al- so outlined the evidence on which Win ters is being held as follows:
 "A mans cap which was found in the railroad tunnel last Tuesday morning has been positively identified as a head cov- ering worn by Winters, and to strength en this fact there Is the further one that the suspect has been wearing a new cap ever since the time of the robbery. He explains his loss of the old one by saying that 1t blew away.
 The cover of the tunnel excavated by the thieves was constructed of lath upon which some cloth was fastened with tacks of a peculiar pattern and tacks similar to these were found today in Winters cabin. Portions of laths similar to those composing the frame work of the cover have been found at the same place.
 "A pistol owned by Winters was found in his cabin and Is covered with mud which corresponds exactly with the earth taken from the tunnel s.a b1e7E tf
 "In the tunnel were. found several cubes of chalk which had evidently been used to smother the grinding sound made by the drills by which the floor plate of the vault had been bored and pieces of chalk exactly like them were discovered in Winters residence.
 Tn the cabin were also found a new implement designed to cut gas pipe. A small electric battery and a tiny electric bulb. the latter being covered with dirt similar to that in the tunnel under the vault were found in the cabin.
 Winters has been seen late at night in the vicinity of the railroad tunnel six or seven times by persons who had occa- sion to pass that way"
 Winters stoutly claims that he knows nithing whatever about the robbery.
