Wanted an owl for Soup.

They are comparing notes and tell
ing amusing incidents of recent trips
abroad when a charming daughter Of
the Emerald Isle, who was sitting
dreamily in the corner, apparently tax
ing no interest in the conversation,
suddenly chirped in with the follow
ing:
"All Of which reminds me Of an
incident which happened while l lived
in Cork. There poulterers' stores are
scarce because of the proximity Of the

Cuaintance, owing to the illness of his

of success, and when he came to a

an owl under a glass case, why, poor
Paddy thought that here was the end
OF his quest, so he entered and in
quired:
How much for the flat-faced hin

New Metallic Processes.

The Engineer gives publicity to a
new process of galvanizing, which has
now reached commercial stage. 1t
is known as "Sherardizlng." The point
Of interest about it is that iron and
steel can be coated with a thin, even
deposit of zinc at a temperature below
the melting point of zinc. The first
step in the process is to free the iron
from scale and oxide by any of the
well known methods, such as dipping
in an acid solution or sand blasting.
The articles to be rendered rustless are
then placed in closed iron receptacle
charged with zinc dust, which Is heat
ed to temperature of from 500 to 600
degrees f. for a few hours and al
lowed to cool. The drum Is then open
Ell and the iron articles removed, when
they are found to be coated with fine
homogeneous covering Of zinc, the
thickness depending on the tempera-
ture and the length of time Of treat
ment.
1t will be observed that the tempera.
ture required to bring about this re-
suit is about 200 degrees below the
melting point Of zinc. The low tenn
perature required makes the process
cheap as compared to the process of
dipping in molten zinc, and has the
additional advantage that it does not
deteriorate iron or steel of small sec
tion to the same extent as hot gal
vanizing. The whole of the zinc Is
consumed; there is no waste of zinc
as in the hot galvanizing process. This
new process of dry galvanizing is moi
limited to the coating Of iron with
zinc but 1t has been successfully ap
piled to coating iron with copper
aluminium and antimony.

it happened, hurried visit was made
to the cemetery In the hope of, per-
haps, seeing the boy IN the zayat. But
they were disappointed; neither child
nor cradle was there, and the grave
was exactly as it had been left On the
burial day, not in the least disturbed.

An expert of the Bureau of Plant

part of California could yield dates
enough to supply the entire United
States. There are also places in Neva-

The electro-sterilizato of NJ. Otto is
an attempt to solve the problem Of
ozonizing water at the home of the
consumer. The apparatus includes a
little box containing transformer and
an ozonator, with a commutator for
reversing about one hundred times per
second IL the current Is continuous.
The ozone generated passes through a
filter of wadding to an emulser, where
the water and ozone are energetically
mixed before passing from the spigot.
The ozOnatOr may be connected to an
ordinary lighting circuit, and the cur
rent required Is about the same as for
a simple incandescent lamp.
An ingenious Engllshman, Harrison
| Martindale, has invented a radiun
clock, which, it is computed, could run
10000 years if uninterfered with. 1t
consists of tube containing small
quantity of radium, supported on a
quartz rod in an exhausted glass YES
sci. To the lower end Of the tube Is
attached an electroscope, consisting Of
two long strips of silver. The natural
action of the radium sends an electric
charge into the strips, causing them
to separate until they touch the sides
of the vessel, whereupon they are in
stantly discharged and fall together
again. This operation is repeated au-
tomatically every two minutes, so that
each beat Of this singular timekeeper
may be said to be two minutes long.
Professor Elrod, Of the University
Of Montana gives striking description
Of the treasure that his State possesses
in sapphires. The only systematic
mining for these precious stones in
the United States is done in Montana
The annual output amounts to 450,00(
OF 100000 carats, including the stones
that are suitable for cutting as gems
and those that are only useful for me-
chanical purposes. 1t is said that the
lapidaries in Helena do finer work
than is done on the stones that are sent
to London to be cut. Perhaps some
body will suggest that Montana should
be called the Gem State" in view OF
the fact that her output Of precious
stones exceeds the production in tha
line of all the rest of the United States

mirer once said to Hugo:
1.-The nation has never treated you
quite properly; no street has beer
called after you; there ought to be Il
Rue Victor Hugo"
"That will come, my children; thai
will come" said the master.
Then another disciple took up the
running and said:
"a street! That indeed would bt
nothing; whole quarter of the city
should be called after you"
"That will come, my children; tha
will come" said the master. There
upon third disciple joined in:
paris should cease to be Paris, ant
be renamed City of Victor Hugo"
THAT will come, my children; tha

GHOST STORY FROM INDIA.
Its Truthfulness Vonched For by Two
Women and a Man.

Its Truthfulness Vonched For by Two
Women and a Man.
The latest ghost story is recorded In
the Friend of Burmah, and it Is at
tested by several eyewitnesses, who
saw the ghost, not during the night,
as Is usually the case, but in broad
daylight. 1t happened in the Monyln-
zu quarter Of Pakokku few days ago.
In that quarter of the town lived
married couple; the husbands name
is Maung Yum and his wife May
Neain. They had little son years
old, who, after serious illness, died.
The baby was buried in the cemetery
outside of the town, his cradle serv-
ing as a coffin.
The father was very much detected
at the loss of his little one, and, I'M
able to repress his grief, went to the
cemetery two days after the burial. 1t
was about o'clock In the morning
At the entrance of every Burmese
burial place there is zayat, or rest
house, wherein people gather and chat
and smoke and take shelter from the
sun or rain whenever they accompany
a funeral. On entering the graveyard
Maung Yum was not little surprised
to see his son, or at least some one
looking exactly like his son, playing in
the zayat, near the cradle. He was at
first horror-struck, but paternal affec-
ton getting the upper hand, he ap-
preached the baby, and, to entice him,
gave him one pice.
The boy took the coin readily and
offered not the least resistance when
the father took him in his arms and
carried him away. Maung Yum could
make nothing out of it but that the
child had been buried alive and thai
somebody, attracted soon after by the
sounds coming from the grave had
dug him out and placed him in the
zayat Full of joy, he carried his
treasure home.
At the entrance of the town, and
about a calls distance from his house
he met a neighbor, Nah Sein Pwln
who, wondering at what she saw
screamed out: as that you, Ko Yum
. carrying home your little SOM" Al
soon as the child heard the voice h,
began moving about III his father:

Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14

Less than two years ago the Perth
Amboy Trust Company opened its doors
for business. /. now OWNS Il of the
handsomest bank buildings in the
State and ranks among the leading
financial institutions in this section of
the country. All the appointments of
their new building arc thoroughly up-to-
late including a large steel vault built
by the Herring, Hall e. Marvin Co.
The stockholders Of the company are
mostly localmen, the Board Of Directors
being made up, with but one or two OK
ceptions, of the heads of manufactures
in this vicinity and Perth Amboy's lead
ing business men. The institution was
a great success from the start. 1t has
had a steady, beautiful growth. 1t
t~ransacts a general banking business
and has been appointed a legal deposit
tory for the funds of the State Of New
Jersey and also as a depository for the
municipal funds of the City of Perth
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14

A little over a month ago, June 4, 1901,
the company took possession of its new
building and is now enjoying the in
creased business which IS justly duetit.
Tn, wonderful growth of the Perth
Amboy Trust Company is best shown
by a comparison of the total capital,
surplus and deposits. After but two
and a half months business, December
81. 1902, this was 5000, 643.o5. June so,
1903 this had grown TO $57I, ASIA and
after another half years business, on
December 81, 1905 the total had reached
$50, 20I.6I. The total capital surplus
and deposits in the last statement June
goth 1904 was S6s5,s-7.7 10.
The Perth Amboy Trust Company
has successfully marketed thousands Of
dollars worth of city bonds of this city
and has been 4 big assistance to many
local institutions when they have been
in need of financial aid. It's growth has
been deserving and the people of Perth
Amboy appreciate what the company is
doing in advancing their welfare.
