chioaqO's Costly Smoke Nuisance.

Charles A. Stevens, merchant of
State street, Chicago. declares that the
smoke nuisance costs Chicagoans more
than $4O,O00.0O0 annually and that the
damage to the stock Of the State street
merchants caused by black smoke ex-
ceeds $2,000,000 annually. His address
was part of a symposium on the
Smoke Nuisance as first step in the
direction of the launching by clubwo-
men of a new crusade to bring about
the strict enforcement of the antismoke
nuisance ordinances Il have made a
careful investigation as to the amount
of reductions made necessary in our
house during last year because. of goods
being spoiled" said Mr.. Stevens, land
you may be surprised to know that the
reductions that actually occurred in
our house last year amounted to near
ly 100000, and l believe would be
perfectly safe in saying that the total
reductions in prices made in State
street annually because Of black smoke
would amount to close to $2,0O000O."

The MILLS OF Japan.
They Grind on Day and Night With
No Regard For Sunday.

They Grind on Day and Night With
No Regard For Sunday.
In Japan Sunday is not regarded, and
the mills do not stop for the day. The
majority of the mills have two holt
days, the list and the 18TH In many
mills the engine starts at o'clock the
morning of the I'd and runs continu-
ously until o'clocl; the morning of the
10Th, then starts at o'clock the morn
ing of the 10th and runs continuously
until 6 O'Clock the morning Of the LIST.
This is as near perpetual motion as
men and machines can stand. No stop
is made for dinner, the hands taking
thirty minutes for dinner in rotation
and spare hands taking the place of
each hand. Each operative works from
6 O'Clock to 6 O'Clock, with thirty min
utes for dinner, and the night shift
comes on at 6 O'clock Thirteen to six
teen twelve-hour days on stretch
necessarily make the hands slower
and less efficient. Though they do not
observe the Lords rest day, good
number of mills have by experience
come to see the material good that
comes from having one day in seven
for rest, and one of the largest groups
of mills observes the 4th, 18th, 18th and
25th of each month, but do not as GUS
tomary with us, allow third or half
of the previous day for rest also. These
four rest days are utilized by the man
agement to overhaul and clean machin-
cry, check up results, instruct green
hands in regard to their duties, etc.
The national holidays, of which there
are about ten, are observed by the
mills, so that even in the mills making
practice of stopping only two days for
rest the holidays effect stop of one or
two more days per month.
The hours of work and the number
of rest days vary with the locality and
the mill. Each mill has its own sys-
TEN, and though they work together in
some respects, through the Japanese
Cotton Spinners association, in pub
fishing comparative reports, etc, they
are very jealous of each other and keep
the details of their business, methods
of operation, etc., secret from other
mills This instructive secrecy, as
shown in other industrial lines, such as
machine shops, shipbuilding, etc, has
made the office of consulting engineer
In Japan very lucrative one, as new
projects cannot copy from old, but have
to call in expert advice to select the
machinery, etc A slight illustration
of this occurred in my visit on sue
cessive days, to two mills not over fit
ty miles apart. The superintendent of
one said good many erroneous arti-
cles were printed about hours run by
Japanese mills; that the great majority
stopped thirty minutes fer dinner and
always had at least four rest days a
month / was III the other mill from
1870 until 1 o'clock and saw the meth
cd of using spare hands and making
no stop for dinner, and the superin-
tendent said this was done in good
many mills and that this mill, like most
others, only stopped on the LIST and
10th days of the month. From United
States Consular Reports.

THE LARGEST RANCH.
You May Travel Ten Hours by Rail
Within Its Boundaries.

Within Its Boundaries.
Take a Mexican Central train at Ell
Paso, Tex, travel south into the land
of Manana for ten hours, and if your
engineer is following schedule time you
will be travelling for the entire period
through the ranch of one man. This
king among ranch owners is General
Luis Terrazas, former governor of the
state of Chihuahua and estimated to
be the wealthiest citizen of the south
ern republic Putting his ranch hold
ings at a very low estimate and reck-
oning his cattle and marketable prop
erty at average rates, his wealth to-
tails more than S200,000O00. For all
that any one knows it may be actually
double that figure
The astute old general. who has
proved himself one of the shrewdest
business men of Mexico, never talks
of his riches and processes even to be
unable to state what he is worth 1t is
left to outsiders to guess from the por
ton of his property that is visible to
the eye.
Mexicans who are competent to state
say that not even Pedro Alvarado, who
offers to pay off the Mexican national
debt with precious metal from his ia
nous mines, f. as. wealthy as the ex-
governor of the la;.gest state of the re
public
How large Terrazas ranch actually
is it is impossible to say. Riding stead
lily On horseback from north to south,
hardened vaqueros require three days
TO make the trip from one boundary
line to the other East and west the
width varies considerably, running at
times as high as 800 miles and others
narrowing down to little more than
100. The line of the Mexican Central
railroad runs through it for 270 miles,
or. in the marie nomenclature of Next
co, for 40 Kilometres Vast expanses
of grazing land, pieces of desert, fruit
full valleys, little towns, villages and
good sized cities are all embraced in
its con.-.es.
General Terrazas is just past his sew
enty-fifth birthday. an event which
was celebrated with great pomp and
show throughout the city and state of
Chihuahua. On account of his advanc-
ing years he has gradually relinquish-
ed the management OF many of his in
terests to other members of his family.
There is story toll among the va
queros OF the ranch demonstrating the
vastness of the herds they have to care
for At one time, SO they say, Il favor
tie cousin of General Terrazas was to
be married at one OF. the numerous pie
turesque ranch houses. The wedding
guests were all to cone by special
train to point some ten miles distant
from the hacienda, and by order of
General Terraza cavalcade Of thou
sand vaqueros, all dressed in white and
mounted on pure white horses taken
from the ranch herds, were sent to the
train to act as an escort to the guests
for their trip to the scene Of the we'd

Nitric Acid From the Air.

Sir William Crookes has discovered
how to get nitric acid from the air, but
the discovery has long been looked for.
Il have before me-" writes corre-
spondent Of the London Chronicle, "a
manual of chemistry in which / find a
eulogy of nitrogen and its compounds,
such as nitric acid and the so called
compound ammonias. Whoever says
the inspired chemist, succeeds in pro-
ducing those bodies in abundance from
the nitrogen of the atmosphere without
the use of organic materials will not
only amass princely fortune, but
must rank as one of the greatest bene-
factors Of the human race, inasmuch
as such discovery would open up an
almost infinite supply of matter for
the fertilization of the land"
