culosis, according to the report of the
imperial health Office in Berlin, is clear.
ly shown in the statistics of the pa
tients treated at the sixty institutions
of the empire for the cure of tuber.
culosis. In 1895 cases, or more than
half of the 2161 persons under consid-
Grafton, the origin of the disease was
alleged to be due to the continuous in.
balation of dust involved by their en-
ployment, as follows; -Four hundred
and thlrty-one cases from the effect of
dust, 116 cases from the effect of wool
dust, Ill cases from the effect of wood
dust, and 12G cases from the effect of
various kinds of dust. These facts
suggest to hygienists and inventors
the necessity Of devising dust consum'
ers and dust preventers for factories,

is brick made. of solidifed crude Pc
troleum. The oil is treated in such q
way that 1t assumes pastelike con.
sistency and may be moulded into any
shape and hardened. A small block
representing a half"pint OF oil is said
to burn fiercely for twenty minutes,
emitting no smoke or smell and giving
hotter fire than coal. 1t is said that
these bricks cannot explode and can
be- made to sell at IS or SO ton, each
