SOLID PETROLEUM.
New Kind of Fuel Manufactured
by Concern in Frauce.

The report that ii concern in France
is engaged in the manufacture of solid
petroleum, that is. petroleum soldifed
so that it may be handled like coke or
coal, and that it is soon to place its
product upon the market, should be Of
interest to users of coal or petroleum in
any of its forms as fuel. 1t is said that
the new article weighs only une-half as
much as coal and that it gives out twice
as much heat.
In describing this product United
states Consul Brunot at st. Etenne says
that II is manufactured in the form of
brquetteS, which are composed chiefly
of petroleum, either crude or refined. and
possess all the desirable qualities of coal
and ordinary petroleum without any of
the Objectionable characteristics of eth
or.
In addition to their lightness they leave
only or = per cent. of residue; do not
form clinkers; do not melt or run; burn
without smell or smoke: do not absorb
moisture; will float on the water; do not
explode, and are not liable to spontanc-
Gus combustion under any circum
stances; will keep Indefinitely, retaining
all their qualities Of combustion: give off
a very white flame eight to ten inches
high; produce twice az much heat rs
coal; can be used in any kind of fur
mace, aad are easy and agreeable to han
de
1t is believed. continues Consul Bru-
not. that this new form of fuel will be
found particularly valuable for torpedo
bo3tS ana, IN case of emergency for
larger vessels. The briquettes occupy
only one-half the space necessary for
coal. and it is calculated that boat
winch requires 2O0O tons Of coal to steam
a given number Of miles can cover the
same. distance with only 1000 tons of
petroleum briquettes.
Again. the saving in space which
would he made possible by tho use of
this condensed fuel would enable a ship
to carry much larger cargo. More
over. II is said that a boat using bri-
quettes can get up steam in from one
quarter to one-third the time ordinarily
required when coal is employed: and.
further, that no smoke attends the com
bustion.
The principal object Of expense in the
manufacture Of the new fuel seems 10
be the oil. The other ingredients CON
tanned in its composition and the labor
and machinery cost comparatively little.

The Poor Little Fellow.

who peddle cough drops on Chestnut
street have learned this thoroughly
One Of these boys is much larger thar
the other, and a crowd was attracted
to the corner of Ninth and Chestnut
streets the other day to see the big
boy pummeling the little boy. At the
proper time the big one disappeared,
leaving the little one surrounded bJ
sympathetic Onlookers. Several pei.
sons, plying the poor little fellow,n
gave him nickels and pennies.
The sequel showed that the poor lit

MADE A GOOD IMPRESSION.
A Case of Well Developed Nerve,
Coupled With wit.


"There is absolute wit In some mems

porter. "My partner and I, with the
intention Of expanding our business
about year ago decided to send a rep.

looked over the field carefully and

was possessed of good address and
who, we felt sure, would do the work.
He had been convivial In former
days. but his department had been
such for a year that 1t made US feel
confident he would do the proper thing.
He was given $4O0 for expenses and
was started out on the mission. 1t was
the understanding that he was to make
daily report Of his efforts.

Pr heard from him. We telegraphed
repeatedly to different towns that were

nerve, and, do you know, we wired him

the preference over Italian"

The Solemn Procession That Accom-.
Panies the Watering Cart.
Poultney Bigelow In his description
of the marvellous progress made by the
city of Singapore under English rule
gave quaint picture Of the manner In
which the streets are watered:
The watering cart was drawn by lit
tie white bullOcks and driven by Ma
lays with turbans. 1t seemed to take
five Malays to do this driving. One
roasted aloft on top of the barrel for
the purpose Of controlling the outgo of
water. He seemed very proud of his
appointment. Another native in q big
turban roasted OIL the pole and con-
trolled the little cattle.
Then there was man in thin brown
legs and much turban who walked SOL

fulness could not discover. He an.
peared to be something In the nature
of rear guard.
Then there was ''foreloper," or ad-
vance guard, for the purpose of clear
ing the way. There appeared to be an
Idea that the little bullocks might sud-
denly go mad and rush ahead. At any
rate, it gave congenial employment to
one more native, and that was some
thing.
There was yet another, who bent
down now and then to pick up q piece
of stone or brush away some irregular
ity unseen by ordinary eyes.
This outfit was treat to me. It was
solemn; 1t was full of self conscious
ness; it was magnificently oriental.

DIAMOND BACK TERRAPlN.
Formerly Despised. They Are Now
Considered a DeIicacy.


Half a century or so ago diamond
back terrapin were fed to slaves and
hogs. Today they are the rarest deli
| cacy known to the epicurian world.
says the Philadelphia North American.
Then they sold for 81 barrel, and
laborera, when hiring out specified
that they must not be compelled to eat
terrapin more than twice week. To-
day barrel is cheap at $500, and mil
lionaires travel hundreds of miles for
a chance to feast on this most deli.
ciOus Of all meats.
OF course this means genuine dia-
mond backs. There are many imita-
tions.
Every first class restaurant in the
country features 'terrapin la Mary
land' on its menu. but in not one case
out Of hundred Is the real terraptn
served. The diner regales himself on
what he believes to be Marylands
choicest dish. Instead he is merely
eating fresh water turtles, "sliders' or
North Carolina goldens."
The reason is simple. Restaurateurs
don't serve real diamond backs be-
cause they can't get them. The worlds
total terrapin population does not ex-
ceed 25,000 of legal size, and these are
confined to the shores of the Chesa-
peake bay, the only place that produces
them.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York enjoy a monopoly. These three
cities get practically the entire output,
but few ever find their way across the
Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate
enough to be born in Chicago or st.
Louis must either come east or forego
the joys Of terrapin.
To select a real diamond back ANA
teurs should be guided by these distin-
gushing and characteristic markings:
1t Is Of a greenish, dark olive color,
sometimes running to spotted gfay,
yellow on the plate which surrounds
the shell and has concentric dark
stripes along the plate on both shells.
The sides of the head are dirty white,
sprinkled with small black spots. The
bottom shell is of whitish yellow.
The males are much larger than the
females and have the concentric streaks
much better defined. The female has
the more delicate flesh. The male can
be distinguished by his toe nails, which
are much longer than those Of the fe-
male
