Molten wood is a new invention,
due to M. de Gall, inspector of forests
at Lamur, France. By means of dry
distiIlation and high pressure the es-
cape of developing gases is prevented,
thereby reducing the wood to a "molt-
en-" condition. After cooling off, the
mass assumes the character of coal,
yet without showing a trace of the
organic structure of that mineral.

shaped and polished at will, and is

While it is too early to make any
definite predictions regarding the ap-
pie crop, the indications at present
are that the crop the country over will
be somewhat larger than last years,
and that, consequently, prices will be
lower. In the east the outlook is for
a decidedly good yield. Last year the
eastern crop was poor. New York
state, which is generally a paradise Of
apples, had to depend on the west for
its pies and dumplings and apple
sauce. This year it may be expected
to ship to the west.
