rators, have just completed fres-

tiful and artistic piece of work.

PRESERVATION OF Wo, }.
New Sulphur Process Which Entirely
Fills the Pores.

mechanical resistance, that a close
study Of new systems aiming at It's
preservation Is or great interest IN
dustrialy.
All the wood preservative methods
now employed are defective in SO far
as they make use of solutions the
eyaporatiye nature Of which makes
their action upon The wood etfectual
only for a certain time The new
method in question. which has been
patented in Germany. goes further and
utilities a fixed body which becomes
solid upon being instilled into the
pores of the wood This substance is
sulphur the physical properties of
which offer interesting advantages
being fusibe at about l15 degrees, a
temperature which the wood can sup
port without any perceptible change
The sulphur is applied in liquid form,
and in hardening completely fills up
all the interstices of the fbrous It's

Although sulphur oxilates easily II
subjected to high temperature at
n medium temperature it remains i'm
passive, resisting not only the infu-
ence of water but also that of acids,
concentrated or diluted, and alkaline
solutions, If cold The reason why
the utility Of sulphur In the direction
indicated had not been recognized ere
now was on account OF its small ne
chanical resistance. pure sulphur be-
ing very brittle and pulyerous. But
as wood possesses the quality of me-
chanical resistance of which sulphur
Is devoid, the compound OF these two
bodies may, under the proper condi-
tons easily acquire valuable indus
trial properties, as. for instance, the

been found ana is now at her home,
The girl who Is about rs years Of
age. and attractive, was located at
the Hotel Phelps on, Ohio street
which formerly was the Farmers

owners of the place turned ont the
lights in order 10 permit the girl and
her companion, said to be one Flor
enee Reed, Of Mound City to escaep

II is further charged that the man
ager of the Hotel Phelps rents rooms
to young girls for immoral purposes
aud that the two girls mentioned had
rented rooms and were living there
As both are said 20 be under age
there is a likelihood that their par.
ents will prosecute ;ae manager for
them.
When the manager OF the Hotel
Phelps embarked in business there
he represented TO the public that he
expected to conduct an orderly
reputable house ami at first there
was no bar in connection with the
place which formerly had been the
scene of at least two murder: and
assaults. not to mention
other crimes.
After a while a saloon was opened
in connection with the place and at
the present time It is reported on the
best authority that the Hotel Phelps
IS an immoral resort demanding at. /
tention at the hands OF ne police.
Mis- Hethmon's parents expect to +
place her at the Home of the Good I
Shepherd at st. Louis and her mother t
will leave with he ror that place TO /
iav. The girl Is repentant and is
anxious to 60 to the institution I
where she will be kept from evil com

the sound waves must first pentrate
the case before they can reach our

opened to prevent complete muillng
