WILL ACCEPT PROPOSITION.
Ardmore viii Get WaterwOrlts Or
dinance Ordered Printed.

This morning Mayor j. G..
Thompson received letter from
Mr.. J. w. Baker, of Joplin, Mo. i,
asking him to have the waterworks
ordinance printed. This virtually
means that they have accepted the
proposition, although they don't
say so in so many words.
1t was last Wednesday a week
ago that the ordinance was passed
by our city council, and Baker and
associates had thirty days to accept
it, and now that they have ordered
the ordinance published, shows
conclusively that they will accept
the proposition and Ardmore will
soon have one of the finest water
works systems in the southwest
In connection with the water,
Mr.. Baker mentioned that the put
ting in of a sewer system would be
considered in the near future.

FINlCKY TURKISH LADIES.
They Are Very Careful About what
They Take In Their Hands.

They Are Very Careful About what
They Take In Their Hands.
Our Constantinople correspondent
writes: 1t is not generally known that
there exists among Turkish ladies Of
high class kind of caste feeling SINH
lar to that prevailing among Hindoos.
1t takes the form of fear of contami-
nation from the outer world and is only
observed, as far as know, by those
who cannot afford to keep servants in
sufficient numbers. Before meals ladies
always wash their hands at tap from
which the water runs into a marble
basin. They will turn on the tap when
they are just going to wash, but when
they have finished they let the water
run till somebody shuts it off, as to do
it themselves would make them I'M
clean. They cannot open or shut door,
as the handle would be unclean, so a
slave is generally kept handy for the
purpose.
One of these fastidious ladies was
talking to small niece the other day
who had just received a present of
beautiful doll from Paris. The child
presently laid the doll on the lady's
lap, who was Mortified and ordered the
child to take it away. AS the little girl
would not move it and no servant was
near, and the lady would be defiled by
touching doll that was brought from
abroad, the only thing she could think
of was to jump up and let the doll fall,
which broke to pieces. The same lady
will not open a letter coming by post,
but a servant opens it and holds it
near her for her to read. If her hand
kerchief falls to the ground, it is imme-
diately destroyed or given away, so
that she should not use it again. This
curious state of eXclusiveness or fanati-
cism exists, l am told, in many of the
large harems. Among men it is not
practiced. Telegraph.

Cur,osities % the Cacao Tree

The cultivation Of cacao, say writer
in The Scientific American, is an invit-
ing agricultural pursuit in Trinidad
and parts Of Venezuela. The cncao tree
cannot withstand strong sunshine. and
the young plants have to be shaded by
banana or plantain trees and later,
when they attain their growth, by tall
trees known rs ''immortelles," or the
mother Of the cacao." These make Il
kind of canopy over the entire planta-
ton. The fruit Of the cacao tree is pod
resembling a cucumber and growing Oh
the trunk OF large branches, where it
looks as though it were artifcinily at
tached." The seeds are like large, thick
lima beans imbedded in pulp These
form the cacao beans of commerce. The
processes of curing and drying require
much attention.

NEW WAY TO CRUSH ROCK.
Either Steam or Condensed Air Used to
Grind Ore to Fine Powder.

/ In the presence of about one hundred
mining men and capitalists, representing
most of the mining districts Of western
Washington, an exhibition Of the treat.
ment and milling Of ores by the Lucken.
bach process was given Saturday after.
noon at their works at King street and
Railroad avenue.
The principal feature Of the plant Is a
pneumatic pulveriser, invented by Mr..
Luckenbach, but now owned and operated
by the Puget Sound Pulverizer company.
BY the use OF two streams OF steam or
compressed air escaping through 3i6 inch
directly opposed to each other, the ore Is
reduced to impaIpable powder; as fine as
the finest flour. Each stream has the We.
locity Of 1000 feet a second, giving an i'm.
petus OF 6ooo teet a second. This pulver.
izer will treat either base ore or free mill.
ing ore, but the base ore first goes through
dry chlorlnation process, also the inven.
ton Of Mr.. l.uckenbach. BY using this
process all rocks are thoroughly decom.
posed, thus facilitating the pulverizing
capacity OF the machine.
Two pulvrrizers are considered a mill,
and such a mill has a daily pulverizing
capacity OF go or 30 tons. Each machine
weighs about 400 pounds and no part Of II
weighs more than A. pounds.
This pneumatic puverizer can take any
iriable material, and II is the intention OF
the officers OF the company to run the
plant for commercial rs well as for milling
purposes. They propose reducing tales,
fertilizers, coal, etc. IN other places the
pulverizer has been used successfully on
rock for pottery, coal, chrome iron for
coloring and hard materials.
The Puget Sound Pulverizer company
was incorporated last week with a capital
oi 100000. Its officers are: President,
J. a. Elwell; vice president and general
manager, II. lutkenbach.
