FRENCH DOCK LABoRERs RIOT.
Strikers at Dunkirk Attempt to Cut
British Ships Mornings

A dispatch from Dunkirk. France, last
night says: There were several encounters
here today between the police and dock
laborers, In which a commissary and four
policemen were injured. The strikers raid
ed several shops and smashed windows In
newspaper offices. This evening they in
vaded the docks and attempted to cut the
moorings of British GOLFERS. They set fire
to bales Of goods, and threw cargo cranes
and sentry boxes into the canal. Troops
were summoned, and finally succeeded in
driving the strikers away. The town hall
OF Dunkirk and the newspaper Offices are
now guarded by soldiers. All the draw
bridges have been opened. in order to pre-
vent the passage through the city of the
striking laborers.
The secretary Of International Federation
of Dock Laborers Of France recently noti-
fed Premier Combes of the decision of the
federation to order general cessation of
work at the docks In sympathy with the
striking coal miners.
The lockers of Marseiles are reported
to have pledged themselves not to allow
foreign coal to land there until the mine
owners yield to the demands of the striking
coal men.

VALUE OF WASTE" PRODUCTS.
Utilization Of Oils, Acids, Spirits and
Tar
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Lesle's Weekly.
The saying that an enterprise has "all
ended in smoke" does not have the signf1-
canoe that it did before a way was found
to materialize that airy product into sub
stances as tangible as oils acids. spirits
and tar. A single blast furnace in west
ern state. which captures the smoke of its
charcoal pits and conveys it into Stills, has
been able to realize enough from this source
to pay a large share of its running ex-
penses. 1t has demonstrated that ca oh cord
of wood contains $1,000 cubic feet of smoke
and that 100000 feet of smoke produces
1900 pounds of acetate of lime and 200 gal
Ions of alcohol and twenty-five pounds of
tar.
Smoke from the factory chimneys is large
ly carbon in another form, and in the
course of a few years we may expect to
see some diminution of the smoke nuisance
SO prevalent in large towns, not from the
vigilance Of the sanitary inspector, but be-
ca use consumers are beginning to learn
that instead of allowing the particles of
carbon to escape with other products so
helping to poison themselves and their
neighbors they might have lighter coal
bills to pay by burning up these particles.
In the utilization of vegetable waste much
OF a surprising nature could be said. The
seeds or stones OF many fruits, which
would apparently seem useless have some
economic value. In some parts of Egypt
the date stones are boiled to soften them
and the camels and cattle are fed with
them. They are calcined by the Chinese,
and said to enter into the composition of
their India ink In Spain they are burned
and powdered for dentifrice, and vegetable
ivory nuts said to be applied for the
same purposes. Some species of Attalea
nuts are burned in Brazil to blacken the
raw India rubber. In India the seed or
stone Of the tamarind Is sometimes pre-
scribed in cases, of,dysentery as a tonic. In
times of scarcity Of food the natives eat
them after being roasted and soaked for a
few hours in water: the dark outer skin
comes Off and they can then be cooked in
various ways. From this seed an Oil has also
been obtained. The seed of the carob bean
has been ground up as food for cattle, and
is used IN Algeria. when roasted. as coffee.
The use of some Mexican and other grasses
for brushes is being rapidly developed. This
material is as strong and flexible as bristles
and even the refuse from this Is being used
as stufftng for mattresses. The use of es-
parto grass for paper making Is we'll
known, and straw Is largely used for the
same purpose.

comes rain-soaked for from fifteen to eigh-
teen days Of each year. The wind from
the desert, 'khamaSseen,' carrying the
sand before 1t, beats upon the soft lime

of the sphinx were treated with paraffin
1t would much better withstand the sand
storms and the rains. Experimentally he
has found that under a "rubbing-bed' the

quarter as fast as the natural stone.
The experience In treating the obe!sk
here has shown just the methods that
would be necessary on the sphinx. Expert
ments which were made then at the city S
expense showed that stone can be heated to
the melting point of the wax. as far bel w
the surface as twenty inches. The wax
being applied with a brush. the hot stone
absorbs 1t. filling up the pores completely
and excluding moisture.
The obelisk, when treated In 1885, had so
disint egrated from the frosts that 80
pounds of flakes and chips were removed
when it was being waterproofed. In some
cases flakes Of eighteen inches diameter
and four inches thick had become detached
In order to fill up whatever cracks might
exist beneath the surface triangular tank
was used and the melted paraff1n forced
against the face of the stone by hydraulic
pressure, thus entering all the fnterstices
and sealing the partly detached fragments
in their places. This same method would
probably have to be used on the sphinx
Altogether the operation would probably
take about two months.
Mr. Caffall is in hopes that some archae-
illogical society or philosophical man will
look into the practicability OF his plan. 1t
the great monument is really in danger Of
destruction, and his process will save 1t,
he thinks that an experiment should at
least be made. He is doubtful IL the khe
dives government could be prevailed on to
take an interest In the project.

SUICIDE STATISTICS.
San Francisco Leads, Los Angeles
Second, in This Country.

FROM the New YORK POST
Somebody has been getting together sta
tistics showing the number of suicides in
American and other cities last year. San
Francisco leads off with the largest ratio,
39.1 per 100000 of population. Next comes
another Pacific coast city, Los Angeles with
a ratio of 29.S. The reader has naturally
been looking for Chicago. and that city
does, in fact. come next with ratio of $40.
followed by the neighboring city of Mil
waukee. whose ratio is 22.2. New Orleans
was the scene of the self-destruction of 81 8
persons per 100, 900 of population. and Gin
cinnati followed close with 21.2 New
Haven is next with 900, and then comes the
borough of Manhattan with 300, though
Greater New York. as a whole, is well
down the list, with ratio Of only 1876.
This is less than Rochester. Indianapolis,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg. Baltimore, Boston.
Detroit, Omaha and Louisville besides all
of those specifically enumerated above. AS
to the foreign cities Paris leads the list
with ratio Of AZ, followed by Berlin. Sc;
Vienna. %. and London. % There were
more suicides in Saxony than in any other

1871; in the German empire, lab. and Swe-
den, Norway, Belgium. Great Britain, Italy

order given.
The table referring to American cities is
city of the golden gate. and California, with
it's glorious climate, its sunshine. it's fruit
and it's flowers. should show the greatest
number Of suicides seems mystery, unless
the presence of large Chinese population
explains it. The high suicide rate of Chi
cago is. perhaps. accounted for by the rush
and struggle of that great city and the
large foreign element it contains-a foreign
element, moreover which comes mainly
from those countries where suicide is most
frequent. The same Is. perhaps true of
Milwaukee and of Cincinnati The high
rate at New Orleans may possibly be attrib-
uted to its relation to France. and the ideas
and traditions brought here from Paris. the
suicide capital of the world But New York
city casts a cloud over some of these ex-
plantations. Here are the large foreign pop
ulations, the stress and strain of living and
working, the poverty. the excitement. Yet
Philadelphia. the sleeping city of the hui

suicides than Greater New York. And now
10 it to be explained that New Haven leads
all the other New England cities in the
number of suicides? ST. Paul and Minneap-
oils lie side by side, but In Minneapolis the
ratio is ia. and in st. Paul 1t is but 6.5. 1t
seems that the conclusions must be that
there is no method in suicide madness and
that the effort to reduce it to a rule is
doomed to failure

TO WAX THE SPHINX.
Proposed by Son of Man Who Covered
Obelisk With Parafin.

From the New York Evening Post.
A plan for saving the sphinx from further
injury by the elements has been suggested
by Edward NJ. Caffall. an expert on stone
preservation. whose father. Robert May
Caffail. applied waterproofing material to
the obelisk In Central Park nearly twenty
years ago. At cost of about 5000. nc
thinks, the great figure in the Egyptian
sand can be protected for an indefinite
slime from the wear and tear of the sand
storms and the rains.
That the sphinx is crdmbiing more rap
idly than It did in previous centuries seems
TO be admitted. For instance. d, G, .Lorg.

Our Rapid Growth Not Considered.

"It is apparent to our permanent resi-
dents that Congress does not take into
consideration the rapid growth Of the city
and its environs. When our lawmakers as
semble at the Capitol each year they fail to
realize that during their absence the city
every twelve-month Is extending almost by.
the square mile in all directions, and that
as the new buildings go up block after
block, these sections must be more closely
policed.
If the full realization Of the rapid growth
of the city could be brought home under
standngly to Congress the incongruity of
the remark that 1 have heard many we'll
meaning but not well-informed representa-
new men two years ago, and now you want
more would be the better appreciated The
new men were absorbed, as 1t were, by the
pressing demands of our citizens for further
police protection long, long before they were
even assigned to beats To meet this de-
mand of our citizens the police department
utilizes its best endeayors, and succeeds
with the force available for patrol duty
much better than one would expect If
our lawmakers would digress from their
beaten paths among the departments and in
the center Of the city, where conditions re-
main the same practically, and explore our
suburbs which are building up so rapidly. the
exigencies of the situation would be more
clearly demonstrated
AS further instance of the need Of adj
ditional men 1t should be remembered that
the city OF Baltimore, with only 20 254 acres
TO police, or less than one-half the acre
age OF Washington, has police force Of
about 1000 men. Buffalo, with only % 4Sa
acres to cover, has a police force In excess
or our own, while Cincinnati, with 81 900
acres, has force about the size of our
own.
