Hackett former New York policeman,
who was liberated from Sing Sing
prison after serving twenty-five years
of q life sentence for murder.
In all those years Hackett had
caught no glimpse Of the outside world,
and had obtained all his impressions
of its advancement from occasional
papers and magazines. In 1882 there
were no skyscrapers, trolley cars, or
automobiles here, and Hackett's sud
den plunge into the heart Of the city
was like a visit to another world.
Liked a child he gazed, wondered and
asked questions: was that an auto
mobile that flashed by? wat funny
noises it makes! Is that th gasoline
smellY How fast can 1t go? How does
it run? You see, never saw one be-
fore" he explained to B. ]. Sullivan,
secretary to Mrs. Ballington Booth,
who was taking Hackett to temporary
quarters at the Volunteers Home.
How queer the women look" he ex-
claimed. "Of course, the women them
selves are lovely, but l don't like their
clothes Those rich colors are too
f1ashy, the skirts are queer, and those
big hats make them appear topheavy.
I think the women of twenty-five years
ago were more becomingly attired and
looked sweeter.'
Some of Hackett's experiences were
pathetic. He hadn't had a pocket in
his clothes in twenty-five years, and he
felt about in constant fear that he
would lose the things he was carrying.
His Derby hat made his head ache, and
when he took his first look at the big
skyscrapers the light hurt his eyes.

1t Is block fuel, and the Occidental
Fuel Company is now rushing work on
the erection Of a factory at Bay and
Wilson streets, in the manufacturing
district.
This fuel is not in any sense a bri-
quet, but has the appearance of a fire
brick painted black. The company
makes the claim that it can sell these
bricks at such a price that it will really
be cheaper than wood or coal or gas
that there will practically be no odor,
smoke or gases, and very little ash
from its consumption that no kindling
bricks will practically last all day in
either a stove or open fireplace or
crate.
There is no secret made of the ingre-
dents, which are principally waste
products. The very backbone of this
fuel, as it may be called, is composed
Of fruit pits from the canneries, most

tons of these pits day are to be used.
The shells are broken up by machine
and the inside pits are shipped to
France, where they bring IS cents a
pound to make prussic acid out of.
These shells make such a hot fire
that it has to be modified with other
inflammable, but more slow burning
material, and so only a percentage of

Canadian government experts who
have been prospecting in the Yukon re-
gion have lately announced that more
than sixty million dollars worth of
gold still remains in the valley, but
that careful mining methods will be
required to extract it. The superficial
methods employed in the past have
produced nearly hundred and twenty
millions. This. of course, applies to
the Canadian Yukon region.
