THE NEW EARL OF STAMFORD.
A Recent Romance of the English Peerage-A Lord Weeds a Zulu
 Belle

The succession of the new earl of Stamford recalls one of the most re- cent romances of the peerage, says the New York Tribune. How far away he was removed from the direct line is shown by the fact that, whereas he is the ninth earl, his father, Rev. William Grey, was the great-grandson of the fourth earl. The last Lord Stamford was an eccentric character, who never took his seat at Westminster, but lived for 40 years in South Africa, where he married a Zulu belle and became practically Zulu himself. At his death the opponents of the hereditary. house were pleased at the prospect of a half-caste, woolly-headed peer presenting himself to the lord chan cellor, but the committee of privilege found the rightful heir in William Grey, a native of Newfoundland, and professor of classics and philosophy in Codrington college, Barbadoes.
 The present Lord Stamford is best known for his religious and philan- thropic activities. He belongs to the order of diocesan readers under the jurisdiction of the bishop of London, and has delivered open-air addresses in the Postmen's park and elsewhere. He is also a vice president of the Bible society, and has been a member of the Metropolitan asylum board, the coun- cil of the Metropolitan hospital fund and the council of the Queen Victoria clergy fund.-

ACTING RAYS KILL GERMS.
Violet Light of 5000 Candle Power Aids Young Tubercu1ous Pa-
 tient in New York.

At the Flower hospital in New York a second experiment has been made with the actinolite, the new electrical apparatus through which the actinic ray,>or the violet-colored light, which has been found to be germicidal, is thrown upon the diseased parts of the body.
 The patient was the same one used in the first trial of the ray-Frederick M Campbell, IA years old, who, before he became ill, was great favorite as a messenger in the stock exchange. So fond are the brokers of the boy that they just endowed a bed in perpetuity in his name. He is the special protege of Anson R. Flower, the president of the hospital, who for year has de- frayed the expenses of the boys care in private room. The boys case is a desperate one. He has tuberculosis of the hip in a very advanced stage.
 The entire upper part of the femur has been cut away. His only hope is in'-the actinic ray, and although that had been used on'him but once. already there was noticed an improvement, The latest operation lasted ten min utes, after a second patient, suffering with a secondary cancer of the neck, was brought in. The light used is of 5000 candle power.

 Fraternal
VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

V
 That the local public want some where to enjoy themselves, and that they appreciate the enterprise of pro- viding such a place, is proved by the continued large patronage that is ex- tended to Manager Polls vaudeville shows at the Jacques. There is quite a large audience in attendance this afternoon, and from the way the show is catching on it is fair to predict large attendance during the week. AS headliner Mir PoIi has an act entitled 1.-The Second Adam" in which Mat thews and Harris play, and it is one in which he takes a deep personal in- terest for the reason that two years , ago he had it written up into a three act farce for playing on the legitimate circuits. Through some misunder- standing with the playwright, how ever, the farce was not exploited, and the act has been saved to vaudeville with Matthews and Harris. MT Poli plays it three times every season in his New Haven theater, and in offering it to the local public he believes that it will make the same extraordinary . success here that it has in New Haven and elsewhere. In addition to this very funny comedietta he has the Three Sanders, an extraordinary Euro pean novelty which has been making a hit all over America, and q number of American acts played by Barry :lnd Halvers, Frank Bowman, Pritzkow and Little, Armstrong and Wright and others Prices are 10 and 20 cents af- fers7Gons, ladies D; evening prices 10, 20 and 50 cents.

MADE FROM COAL-TAR
Many Useful Products Are Now Ob-
 tained from Refuse.
The List Includes Perfumes, Medic aments, Antiseptics, Aniline Dyes, Etc.-History of tho
 COa1-Tar Industry

Even more wonderful than the s ton industry is the utilization of coal tar. Only a short while ago this troublesome by-product of gas-mak- ing was considered nuisance. The effort to get rid of it has grown into an industry which employs more scientific men in it's development than any other. A description of all the products of coal tar would be a review of the greater part of the or ganic chemistry of to-day. Coal tar was first distilled in England so years ago, but it was not until 1856, the date of the discovery of the first anil line colors, that the industry became an important one. Now the value of the by-products of gas-mal1ing-ta coke and greatly exceeds that of the coal burned in the gas works. The distillation of the tar gives series of products, each of which serves as a starting point for a long series of valuable articles of everyday use.
 In the United States the tar is usually distilled into light oil, heavy oil and pitch. The pitch remaining
  and is used in roofing and paving. Formerly it was customary to turns this substance to hard pitch, which was sent abroad to be used in the making of compressed fuel; the an- thracene oil obtained by this distil- lation was sent to England to be used in making alizarin. But it does not pay to make anthracene in America now. An American has pat ented method of making an arti- ficia1 asphalt from the pitch, and it seems not improbable that the as- phalt industry will be revolutionized by this process, says an article on Large Industries Founded on Waste Products" by F. Francis Hicks, in Success.
 Creosote oil is coa1-tar product, which, owing to it's extensive use in creosote lumber, is coming into great demand. Of the refined products, benzine is one of the most common. The presence of 20 times as much ben- zine in the coal gas as there is in the tar has led to the introduction of a process for removing the benzine from the gas. Toluene, used in making ar. tifcial indigo, is also obtained by this process. Naphthaline is another coal tar element produced on a large scale. It is used as substitute for camphor in destroying moths. Another prod- uct is crystal carbolic acid, or pheno1, the chief use of which is in the man. ufacture of nitric or picric and sali- cylic acids. Nitrobenzine, nitro- luene, and other nitro-compounds from coal tar are used in making col ors and explosives. Rectifed nitro- benzine, known as oil of myrbane, is used in the manufacture of soaps and oils. Aniline oil is made in great quan- titles abroad, and European competi- tion in aniline colors is very keen. The long list of coal-tar products, includ- ing perfumes, medicaments, antisep- tics, aniline dyes, etc., is remarkable illustration of what can be done in the utilization of waste product.

Morgner and Wehrfritz propose to use such heavy material in this line that there will be no chance of breakage.
