New York's Waste of Food.

New York eats more and wastes
more food than any other city in the
world, says man who has made a
special study of disposing of the waste
material of, great cities. It wastes
less food in February than in any
other month, probably because a small
er quantity of green vegetables is eat
en- then than in any other month of
the year The well-to-do buy southern
vegetables in February, but the poor
live largely on canned food, in which
there is little waste. The waste of
even the winter months, however, is
vastly greater than that of any Euro
pean city.
Food in Paris and London, especially
meats, passes from the better grade Of
hotels to the poorer and to the cheap
restaurants. In some cases the pro-
prietor of a fashionable hotel will own
third-rate house, where the waste
of the former is largely disposed Of.
The same is true of London, and pro-
badly of every great European city.
1t is true IN very small degree OF
Nee York.
The story Of all this is told in the
products realized in the disposal of
waste at Barren island. Here the pro-
portion of valuable fats recovered from
the material treated is far greater than
at any similar concern in the world,
chiefly because in the great European
cities where kitchen waste is treated
in a similar manner, the meats and
other foods yielding fSt are much more
nearly used up than in New York. A
considerable portion Of Europe is
washed with soap made from the waste
of New York, for the fats thus obtained
at Barren island are in large part
exported to be made into soaps, lubri-
cants, and perfumery.-New York

A Schubert Discovery.

An interesting discovery Of some
long-lost Schubert manuscripts has
recently been made in Vienna. In ex-
aiming the archives of the Church
Of St. Peter, the parish priest I'M
earthed an iron box which contained
a number Of works written in the COM
poser's own handwriting. They seem
to have formerly been the property
of Diabelli, Sch, bert's publisher, who
confidei them to the custody Of his
scn-in-law, at that time organist of St.
Peters. The latter died without max
ing will, and the box must have es-
capped the notice Of his heirs. It was
hoped that the long-lost "Gastein"
symphony, in the existence OF which
Sir George Grove was always a firm
believer, would prove to be among the
papers, Unfortunately, this is not the
case. There is complete copy Of one
of Schubert's sonatas. number of
songs, several of which are unpub-
lished, and an orchestrated version of
the "Tantum ergo" which was one of
his last works.

FOR THE NEXT GENTLEMAN
Street Gamin's Fellow Feeling for
Those In Distress.

An amusing incident was witnessed
In cigar store on Chestnut street the
other afternoon.
A newsboy, having picked up a cigar
stump, walked in and, addressing the
man behind the counter, said: Say,
boss, give us match" The man be-
hind the counter, looking down, said:
My young friend, we are not here for
the purpose of giving away matches:
We sell them" How much are dey?"
was the question. "One cent a box"
the clerk announced. The urchin
stuck his hand into his pocket and
produced, after a great deal of hunt
Ing, penny and handed it to the man.
He received his box of matches, and,
taking one out, lit the butt" Return
ing the box to the man back of the
case, he said: Say, put dis back on
de shelf, and when a gentleman comes
along and asks you for a match, why,
give him one out of my box."-Phila-

WHY COAL Is WASHED.
The Impurities That Spoil tho Health
Qualities.

The Impurities That Spoil tho Heating
Qualities.
The purpose Of washing coal is to
matter that reduces it's heating ca
pacity or has detrimental effect upon
the metal produced with such coal or
with coke made from such coal.
The Impurities in coal are of two
kinds, such as are chemically passive,
but which do not produce heat, but,
on the contrary, absorb heat and clog
the openings in the CRATES by forming
ashes and clinkers; they must be re-
peatedly handled, shipped and freight
paid for them, and are a burden all
around.
The other kinds Of impurities are
chiefly iron pyrites, an ore composed
Of iron and sulphur, containing as
much as So percent of the latter ele-
ment. There occurs also frequently
some phosphorus, which remains in
the ashes. The sulphur and phos-
phcrus are both injurious to the quail
ity Of iron produced in blast fur
mace, and for this reason it is very
important that coal or coke for blast
furnace use shall be as free from
those two elements as possible. The
phosphorus occurs in the ash pro-
ducing matter, and remains there un-
less it is given an opportunity to
chemically combine with iron, lime or
other matter for which it has an af-
fnity.
The value Of furnace coke is based,
apart from general chemical reasons,
upon it's degree Of purity from ashes,
sulphur and phosphorus.
The effect Of sulphur and phosphorus
is to make iron brittle. Iron containing
these elements in excess of certain
limits is unfit for all purposes in
which strength is an important re-
quirement.
There is economy in purifying in
ferlOr coal even for ordinary heating
purposes, for not only is ashes an i'm
pedin-ent to the rational use o. fuel,
but the sulphur of the pyrites emits
fumes which eagerly combine with
what moisture there is in the coal
and form a sulphurous acid, which ex-
erts destructive influence upon all
iron, as boiler shells, tubes, breech-
ings and slack that it touches.
For blacksmithing purposes also
washed coal is far superior to coal in
it's natural state, because the tendency
to form clinkers is very much re-
duced by the process of washing.
Lump coal is much purer than nut
coal and slack. Until about fifteen
years ago slack had barely any value
in the Youghiogheny region, on &C
count Of it's large proportion of i'm
purities. Consumers did not want it,
and it could be shipped only by rail,
which was too expensive; it became
burden at many of the mines, and
anybody could have had it who cared
to take it. Yet the same slack when
properly washed, produces a coke
equal to any of the Connellsville re-
gion. At some of the Monongahela
mines slack was sold in large lots at
the tipple at 10 cents per ton.-Mines
and Minerals.
