Fake Whiskey.

Conditions would not be so bad
among the boozers, says a competent
New York authority, if they drank
real, pure whiskey, real pure wine and
real pure liquors of all other sorts, but
they don't. They think they do, but
what they are really drinking is dead
ly poison and one swift in its eXecu-
ton. | feel safe in saying that out of
100 drinks sold in New York city as
whiskey not more than one is the real
article. But so cleverly is whiskey
counterfeited today that club connois-
Seurs cannot detect it, was shown in an
experiment made recently by DR.. Dar-
lington of the Board of Health. DR..
Darlington went around and collected
number of samples of whiskey from
to his club, where he had several of the
members test them, and much to his
surprise the cheap limitations of whis-
key were judged to be the real thing.
| 1t stands to reason, of course, that the
great proportion of the liquor sold is
counterfeit, when it is known that the
consumption is far in excess Of the abil-
ity of the distillers and brewers to pre-
duce the genuine product. Adultera-
tions and criminal counterfeitS must be
resorted to in order to meet the demand.
l will wager that there have been in
mates of Bellevue's alcoholic ward who
have never tasted a drop of real whis-
key in their lives. They just think
they have been drinking and if they
had been drinking real whiskey the
chances are that they would never have
been in Bellevue. / don't say that real
whiskey, if taken excessively, is not
harmful, but do say that man could
drink the pure article in moderation
all of his life and not be hurt by it..
Why fifteen drinks of pure whiskey
would not do man the harm that one
whiskey in New York would do him.
/ know man who left his office one
evening all tired out, dropped into a
| saloon of the best class and took only
| two drinks of their bar whiskey and
was lost for four days. L was called in
to help find him, as he was friend of
mine, and when we found him he was
in a pitiable condition, his mind was
clouded, he could not remember where
he had been or what he had done after
leaving that saloon. He only remem-
bered that he had taken two drinks of
whiskey.
The beer drinker, if he gets real beer,
is handed glass of the beverage which,
to meet the demands of trade, is put
out too new and Improperly fermented.
Beer should be kept in the keg for six
months before being sold to the drink
er. 1t is rather surprising how many
of our school children have become
beer drinkers, especially those of for
eign birth, and the habit is making
them mentally sluggish to a degree
that is attracting the attention of edu-
Gators and philanthropists.

rHROuGH VIRGIN FOTESTs.

Mr. John G.. Arbogast of Asheville,
NC, writing of Appalachian Railway
Co., recently organized, in the Manu-
facturers' Record, says: 'The Appa-
lachian Railway will open to develop

timber land, and it will also develop
some 200, 900 acres of other timber lands

Timber Preservation in the Anthra.
cite Region.

Plants for treating mine timbers and
railroad ties are to be erected by the
j Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company and the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
Company in the Pennsylvania anthra-
cite region.
This action follows a series of tests
with wood preservatives made by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company which has extended
over three years. The tests showed
that by the proper application of Gre
osote and zinc chlorid the life of peeled,
seasoned timber was more than doubled.
Indeed, much of the timber treated
may last throughout the life of the
mine.
| AS a result of these tests, which were
made with the Forest Service, the COM
panies are about to treat round and
Iuare mine timbers and railroad ties
on a large scale. The Forest Service is
supervising the construction of the nee
essary plants and will place them on a
satisfactory working basis.
The preservative treatment OF min
ing timbers has become an important
matter for anthracite miners because
of the growing local scarcity of the
supply of suitable timbers. The chest
nut and oak near at hand have been
practically exhausted, and the Penn
sylvania pitch pine can be used only in
small quantities. Birch, beech, and
maple from New York, and lOblOlly
and shortleaf pines from Virginia and
South Carolina are now being drawn
into use. AT the same time economy
of consumption is being sought through
using preservatives to reduce the decay
of timbers in the mines, and cutting
over waste to save and utilize sound
portions.
The transportation of timber from
remote forests means high freight
charges, a great loss of time, and an
uncertain supply. Delay in timber
shipment has frequently forced the
suspension of operations requiring tim
bers of peculiar size. Closer utilization
and particularly adding to the life of
timber in service by means of chemi-
cal treatment afford the best ways OF
fsolving the problem.
With a view to widening the field of
supply, several additional kinds of tim
| Der have been introduced in mining
| work. For example, for shaft and
MISREPRESENTATION timber, Douglas
fir has been procured from the State of
Washington at cost not greater than
the price of the longleaf pine; round
cypress props have been purchased at
shortleaf pine prices: and market has
been found for black gum in the pull
leys and rollers of slopes and rope haul
| age ways.
By way Of utilizing partially decayed
timber, round gangway props have
been sawed into short planks and small
dimension material, with profitable re-
suits. It is said that surprisingly
large amount of sound lumber may be
cut out of discarded mine props form
erly considered rotten and worthless.

PABLO RAMOS, LAW COURSE. .

Pablo Ramos paid '$lO yesterday, or rather went to jail yesterday for ten days in exchange for a little legal ed ucatiOn bearing on the rights of prop erty. IL was drilled into him that one cannot sequestrate his property and have it too. Some time ago he pawned all his earthly belongings. consisting for the most part. of clothing, to the proprietor of the Gold hotel for $6.50. He was unable to raise the money to take it out of hook and he went to a friend. Ramon Valencia. and told him about it. He said that the property was worth a great deal more than the amount he had received on it. He was hopeless of ever redeeming il and he would prefer to let a friend in on the bargain than that the property should remain in the hands of Anton Gold for such an insignificant sum. On his ad
 vice, Valencia redeemed the property and took possession of it. Subsequent
 ly, Ramos went to Nalencia's house and took as much of the clothing as he could wear at one time. Valencia swore out warrant in Justice John stones court for his arrest on the charge Of stealing. Ramos only de- fense was that in his dealing with Val encia he had made a reservation of the articles which he had appropriated. It there was any such reservation it was mental on the part of Ramos and therefore Valencia was not bound by it.

At one end of the machine facing the edge of this circular stone is lens holding frame" in which the lenses are placed to be ground. This holding device is capable of a variety of adjustments to grind any size and shape lense. At the other edge of the stone is q true ing attachment which smootns and trues the large grindstone as it wears. The machine is run by an electric mo- tor.
 The process of making the lense to the proper design wanted is very in teresting. In stock, pr. MunsOn has several hundred dollars worth of what are called "blanks"-square section of glass with round corners about twice the size of an ordinary lense. These blanks are made in three classes, cyl finders. compounds and spheres. Each one can be cut into 36 different combi- nations. The blanks are in assorted numbers of focal powers, of axis from Q to 1S0 degrees. In order to find the
  another apparatus is provided. This is called Standard Lens marking centering and testing instrument. The uaiversal demand for prescription work accurately done has made this instrument essential. It not only cen- ters, marks lenses to be cut to any de- sired axis. but it tests finished pre- scriptions proving if the same have been filled correctly. After one of the blanks is marked by this instru- ment a shifting pattern is placed on it as indicated by the markings, and the lens cutter is used to do its work. This is all that is required before the lense is ready for grinding.
 It is then placed in device which adjusts it accurately for fastening in the large grinding machine. One or a dozen lenses may be fastened in the lense holding frame at the edge of the revolving stone. As soon as lenses are adjusted. the power is turned on and the grinding goes along regardless of whether it is watched or not. That is one beauty of the machine It is humanly intelligent so to speak. and it will grind the lenses to the proper pattern. while pr. Munson attends to other work. Necessarily, the machine is very perfect in its adjustment. so that the finished product is correct to the minutest measurement.
