A bottle cleaning machine is one Of
the latest labor-saving devices. Bot
ties are run backward and forward
automatically in bath" of chemical
solution, which cleanses them of
dregs, labels and tinfoi1. They are
automatically placed on dryer, and
afterward delivered to a part of the
apparatus called the conveyor. They
are then ready for a dip into clean
water. One man can attend to the
machine, which cleans from $4,000 to
&C GOO bottles in a day.

rents is now being investigated by
means of specially constructed casks
set adrift in the ice. Two years ago
a number of these were placed in the
foes to the northward of Bering
Strait, and this year some Is sore

East Siberian coast. 1t is hoped that
in about four years some of these casks
will eventually be found on the oppo-

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says that West Virginia is rapid
1y becoming more and more the mec-
ca of the Negroes of the South. The
climate of that state, as a whole is
congenial to this race, and the great
coal and coking industries in opera
ton in almost every county, togethey
with the extensive railroad construc,
tion being carried on, furnish ready
as well as lucrative employment for
Negro laborers, of whom $1,000 are
employed in the mines.
