UTILIZING WASTE MATERIALS,

Saw dust was looked upon at one time as waste material, but during the last few years process has been discovered which has given sawdust value greater than that of solid lum- Der. By the use of hydraulic pressure and intense heat the particles are formed into a solid mass capable of being nodded into any shape and of receiving brilliant polish. The only materials used are sawdust, alum and glue. Imitation marble can be man actured from mixture of saw dust with ivory waste, water, glass and glue. In Norway acetic acid, wood naphtha, tar and alcohol are produced on commercial scale out of sawdust.
 Factories have been erected in this country and in Europe for converting pine needles into forest wool" This is used for mattresses and furniture and for manufacture into hygienic articles such as sawdust and chest protectors.

ALCOHOL FROM CoRNCoBs.

The department of agriculture is developing new industry in the pro duction of alcohol from corncobs, which, the department says, promises to be of much commercial valuc. In. vestigatiOns are being made at Hoop. eston, III, and have proved that the large quantities of corncobs which ev. cry year go to waste. can be made to produce alcohol in sufficient quanti- ties to justify the erection of . dis. tilling plant in connection with . corn cannery.
 So far. the department has succeed- cd fin simple methods of fermentation in getting yield of eleven gallons of alcohol from ton of green cobs, and, by similar methods, in getting six sal- Ions of alcohol from q ton of green cornstalks. A department ofncial saya that these tests show that there ano 24O pounds of fermentable substance in ton of green field cornstalk, which will yield about half of their weight in absolute alcohol. Tn round numbers, a ton of stalks will produce 100 pounds of alcohol or 200 pounds of proof spirits. As gallon of alco- hol weighs nearly seven pounda, thfe should be fifteen gallons of alcohol h ton of stalks. The addition of tho corn on tho cob adds further to tho possibilities of alcohol. obtainable from a ton of cobs. and will have itp influence fin bringing the quantity e a greater figure.

ARTISAN WELLS,

Many persons suppose that nc name artesIan. as applied to . well, contains some allusion to the principle on which it operates. but that is . mistake. The name comes from Ar. tois. in France. ancientiy called Arte- sium. where the first well of this kind was dug. A good illustration of how the well operates Is furnished by the water-pipes in the upper stories of . house. The water will rise in fheee pipes to the level of the reservoir from which the water comes. h some localities there are previous strata lying between impervious beds, and the water percoIates through and becomes imprisoned It Hes on tho lowest bed and rises to some point in the highest he'd. where c previous stratum may bring it to the surface as s spring If a shaft be sunk to fhe lowest point. the water of the wbo1e basin will pres upward for es1pe, and will riee to a Ievel with the hI6A- ct point Of the impris1nlng strn1A

SNEAK THIEVES BUSY
Thomaslon Mans OyercOat Was
 Pawned For $1.75.

Sneak thieves were busily engaged Saturday night and yesterday morn- ing endeavoring to replenish tnelr wardrobes as they made calls at couple of places with the intention of pilfering clothing, their fayorite garment seemingly being overcoats. John Gross of ThomastOn came down Saturday to visit Arthur ELS or oS Holmes avenue and Saturday evening his $50 overcoat which was hanging in the front hall was stolen. Tne thief entered the front door and without any fuss departed with the coat. It was recovered yesterday Tn Possner's secondhand clothing store on Bank street where 1t had been pawned for $1.75.
 While resident of North Elm street lay in his bed yesterday morn ing he heard some one proving around his hallway and without waiting to dress he jumped from un- der the sheets and in jiffy was out in the hallway. He was in the nick of time. for an intruder was making of with an overcoat which he dropped when he saw that the owner was on his trail As the man of the house was not clad in just the proper manner he did not think 1t the part of wisdom to pursue the thief, but later sent word to the police station. The thief in his haste to escape dropped an umbrella which appar- ently was taken from the home of M. w. Flagg of 20 Catherine street. for tag with the above name was attached to the umbrella. It Is now at the police station. The police ex- pect to make an arrest in connection with the thefts before tonight.
