Rp Products Of Fir

The problem Of successfully e&tract
ing valuable products from Douglas III
has apparently been solved BY i Poeet
Sound firm. From a cord cf stnmps ol
of wind shake wood the company ha'
obtained turpentine. wood spirits, tar
pyroligneous acid, and chemically pure
charcoal, having an aggregate CONNER
cIal value of $500 while the outside
cost of production II bnt Sl2 per cord
The test was made with cord oi ordi'
nary fir wood. The first treatment con.
sisted Of passing supcrheated steam
through the chipped wood to obtain the
basis for the turpentinc. The chips after
this process were placed IN a fire rctort
and reduced to charcoal, the other pro.
duets passing OF in the form Of gas
which being condensed furnished the
basis for the tar and creosoting material.
The two liquids thus obtained were
distilled, and the following final pro
ducts obtained as result Of the test
with one cord OF wood;
T.ss gallons Of pure turpentine;
lT.l4 gallons Of second grade turpen-
tine OF wood spirits
$500 gallons OF high grade tar;
1886 gallons of pyroligneous acid;
5000 pounds, So bushels, Of chemically

GIANT CRACKER WAS REAL.
Lawyers Great Joke on Friends In
Court Room.

Assistant Corporation Counsel |
James l.. Pugh of Washington is al.
ways ready to play a joke on any
Of his friends, and, according to gen
lal Lum Harper chief assistant to
Clerk Potts, he seems to take special
delight in "deviling" him. According
to Mr.. Harper, about the worst" Mr..
Pugh ever did was some years ago,
when Judge Miller was on the bench
and Gen" CoXey's army was in town.
The court had received several let
tiers stating that if the general was
sent down to the workhouse that the
courthouse would be "dynamited.
one morning after Coxey had got
ten what Judge Miller thought was
coming to him, Mr.. Pugh came into
the lower court room with a giant
firecracker, which looked all the
world like fake for the reason
that it was covered with advertising
He laid 1t on the clerks desk. Mr.
Harper contemplated it for a moment
and as 1t was before the opening OF
the lower court, he was smoking q
cigar. In a moment he touched the
light to the fuse and watched it burn,
while Mr.. Pugh just stepped back
and "laffed" Baliff Cole was stand
ing with his back to the desk and Mr..
Harper not watching, when the
cracker exploded like a cannon Of
ticers rushed into the court room
thinking some one had been shot, and
word was brought downstairs in a
moment that Judge Miller, who had
been hearing a case from the bench
had Jumped about six feet" 1t is
said that he thought the place was
being blown up by the friends o.
COXey, and when Mr.. Harper came up
stairs new moments later to ex
plain that it was not an anarchisti'
attempt, but prank of Jim Pugh,
he said he felt much relieved ant
hoped it would not occur again. Now
adays, if the prosecutor comes il
with shooting cracker" Mr.. Harpe
says he is going to look inside" be
fore he applies any lights to the fuse

WAS NOT ALI. ETIQUETTE.
Minister Tucker Had Reasons of His
Own for Remaining Standing.

When the Hon. Beverly Tucker,
to the Court of st. James.
was presented to Queen Victoria she
indicated that he be seated by that
slight motion of her plump hand
which all England obeyed. Tucker
was portly and heavy, and the only
available chair was fragile and small.
He appeared not to notice the invita-
ton. A moment later it was repeat
ed. for even at that first interview be-
gan the queens king for Minister
Tucker, which ripened into such an
intimate friendship as no other Amer
lean ever enjoyed with her majesty.
Still, the weakness of things terres-
trial was more potent than the finger
of Victoria, and Tucker again ignored
the command. Then the queen put 1t
In words, when Tucker, with pro-
found bow, replied:
your majesty, | never sit in the
presence of royalty"
Il accept the compliment at your
hands" replied the queen; land now
you must accept comfort at mine"
Comfort" exclaimed Mr.. Tucker.

RUE THAT WORKS WELL.
Prompt Service PIeases the Makers
of Appropriations.

"They have a standing rule in the
army" remarked a high government
official the other day, that might be
adopted with profit by other bureaus
of the government. The rule is that
every communication received from
q member of congress must be ac-
knowledged the day of it's receipt.
That means not only that an answer
shall be prepared, but also that it shall
be actually delivered the same day
Messengers are employed for delivery
purposes instead of the mails. Thls
plan is followed during the sessions
of congress, and also during the re-
cesses in the cases of congressman
still in Washington. Congressman are
naturally pleased with this prompt
service. and show their appreciation
when the appropriations for the adJu-
tant generals office are under consld-
Grafton. Consequently, the adJutant
general gets all the clerks and mes
sengers he asks for, and is aple Io
carry his system of rapid correspond
once IntO successful execution. II olh
or bureaus of the government treated
the men who make the annual appro
nriations with the same consideration
they might in turn receive more I'D
eral gifts from the national leglsla
ture. I regre to say that he canno
do it in our bun'au, for the simple rea
son that we have not the employees u
nut on that special work"

Utilization of Waste.

The United States Steel corporation
Is installing IL monster engines at va
rious plants, the unique feature about
them being that they do not require
OIL coke, coal, wood or ordinary gas
for fuel They are to be operated
solely with the gas which is generated
in the company's blast furnaces dur
ing the process of steel manufacture.
This gas has heretofore gone to
waste, but hereafter 1t will be made
to turn all the wheels. For steel
plant to be able to save the cost or
It's fuel is taking very big stride to-
ward economy. To be able to abol-
ish smoke at the same time will add
to its popularity in communities
where the smoke-belching stacks
have smothered the air with black
ness. One more real triumph for the
American restless brain.

clear, black, and with a snappy, rich
taste?
