MANUFACTURE OF ACIDS.
Some Statistics Furnished by the
Census Office.

The census bureau has issued a prelimi-
nary report on the result of the tabulation
of the statistics for the manufacture of sui
phuric. nitric and mixed acids for the calen-
dar year 1904. According to the figures
presented there were thIrty-two establish
ments whose principal products consisted of
one or more OF these acids. In addition to
the sulphuric and nitric acids the establish
ments manufactured 11j. 1859 tons of sulphur
ric acid and 1S,S75 $50 pounds of nitric acid,
which were consumed in the establishments
where produced and did not reach the mar
ket as sold.
There also were large quantities of these
acids manufactured in connection with the
manufacture of fertilizers and other chem-
cal products. The statement says that COM
sidering all the branches Of the chemical in
dustry there were 2105 1881 tons of sulphuric
acid manufactured during 1904, of which
936, 42S tons were consumed in the establish
ments where produced. and 1,156. PAL tons
were sold as sulphuric acid. There were
also lOS.31T.531 pounds of nitric acid manu-
featured. of which amount 81 ,05} $50 pounds
were consumed in the establishments where
produced and 46.264,0S1 pounds were sold as
such.
The amount of capital invested in 1904 is
shown to have been $12 761 ,92O, the total
value of products being $685., GAG.

ed to be at least nineteen centuries old. The
antiquities, which number twenty individual
pieces. are the only silver set of the date In
America and are valued at a fabulous sum.
Recent excavations early last spring at
the ancient city of Tivol, now known as
Thur, revealed among other important dis
eoveries this service, which probably is in
tao. with the exception of one small spoon.
The silver, which arrived yesterday from
Italy, consists of the following pieces: One
plate, fifteen inches in diameter. decorated
on the edge: three plates, eight inches in di-
ameter; three small round dishes; one large
cup, decorated around the top and bottom;
one small shell-shaped scoop; six large
spoons, and five small spoons.

FURNISHING SUICIDAL ATTEMPTS

Gently" said a member of Congress
lawyer-to Star reporter at the Capitol,
that the feasibility of introducing bill
in the House making attempted suicide a
felony, in the state of New York, has

Empire state has been termed one of the
curiosities of legislation, but since it has
been on the statute books for some years

would be a movement to abolish it, 1t is

there is an underlying principle of the
law upon which 1t is based which makes

other person in taking the latters life is
guilty of manslaughter in the first de-
gree
You will note" resumed the member,
"the provision making an accessory be-
fore the fact to the crime. for such is sui
eide in New York. and it is an excellent
provision. 1t Is designed to reach several
classes of individuals who might have a
pecuniary interest in the death of tho

net of the law the other party, who, in a
suicide pact. experienced a weakening of
the nerve at the last moment; and there
are other ways in which the accessory
