Tine Woltereck Process.

Consul Albert Halstead of Birming-
ham describes the new English method,
called the "Woltereck" process, for the
production of ammonia by passing a
mixture of air and water vapor over
peat kept at low grade of heat in
specially devised furnaces. BY the
Woltereck process it has been finally
determined that a minimum yield Of 5
per cent of sulphate of ammonia is OBJ
tanned from the peat, calculated as
theoretically dry. The chief products
Of the Woltereck process, namely, sui
plate of ammonia and paraff1n tar, have
practically unlimited market, and the
market for acetic acid, acetates and
their NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. continually
expanding, especially that of the lat
ter, of which enormous quantities are
required by the manufacturers of
smokeless powder. In addition, the ash
of peat is salable to the farmer as
cheap fertilizer, since 1T contains potas-
SUM salts lime and phosphoric acid in
available form. After the acid is COM
pletely neutralized 1t is drawn off to
the crystallizing watts. The solution OF
the sulphate is there further concentra-
ted and allowed to crystalline, and at
herent liquor, is ready for shipment.
1.-The paraffin tar is drawn Off from the
scrubber, when sample OF the OIL
therein solidifies on cooling. 1t Is then
subjected to distillation to remove the
lighter oils, and a crude paraffin wax
worth about $3.50 a ton remains with
out further publication. The acetate
solution obtained from the alkaH tower
is evaporated to dryness and distilled
with sulphuric or hydrochloric acid to
obtain concentrated acetic acid, or 1t
can be subjected to dry distillation to
produce acetone."
Teredo Navalis.
The vicissitudes of a submarine
cable are many. 1t may be torn by
an anchor, crushed by rock or seri-
ously damaged by a coral reef, such
as abound in the tropics. Some or
the groWths often found on a cable
tend gradually to decay the iron
sh eathing wires. Then, again. cable
is sometimes severed by a seaQuake-
1t may be fatally attacked by the
snout of a sawfish or by the spike of
a swordfsh. But, perhaps. the little
animal that makes itself most oo1ec-
tionable from the cable engineers
standpoint is the insignificant looking
teredo navalis. This little beast Is IN
tensely greedy where gutta percha is
working its way there be-
tween the iron wires and between the
serving yarns. The silica in the outer
cable compound tends to defeat the
teredo's efforts at making meal OH
the core, and this defeat Is further
effected by the core being enveloped
in a thin tapping of brass. But where
the bottom is known to be badly IN.
fected with these little monsters of
the deep the insulator is often COM
posed Of India rubber, which has no
attraction for the teredo and possesses
a touRhnesS, moreover, wn1ch Is less
suited for its boring tool than the
cheeselike gutta per-

The Ma rianna Index says: The big retail houses are sending hundreds of cata- logues out on the rural routes these days getting ready for the fall trade Helena merchants are alse heavy ad- vertisers in this neighborh0od these days. It is easier to trade in Chicago now than it is for the farmer ont ten or fifteen miles to trade in Marianna, and N will soon be much easier to trade in Helena than either place Over eleven thousand dollars passed through this carriers hands in the last fourteen months, most of it going out of the state.
