A MILLION BUSHELS OF
SALT CONSUMED YEARLY
Tons of Condiments Imported From Foreign Countries In a.

that a very coarse and hard salt is
the best for preserving meat. This
grade not only serves that purpose.
but appears to be the most practical
and harmless means for retaining
the natural color and palatableness
of the meat.
The salt of commerce consists OF
two kinds, coarse salt, including
that made by solar heat and rock
salt crushed to suitable size ana
common fine, or boiled salt, produc-
ed by heating brine in huge kettles.
The former, which constitutes by far
the greater bulk of the salt imports
to this country, is used, as we save
said, by the packers or by the man
ufacturers of soap, paper and glass.
The chemical industry Of any
country depends largely on a liberal
supply of common salt being availa-
BILE; the comparative low cost or
soda made therefrom making a
much cheaper sodium carbonate to
take the place of the more costly
soda-ash formerly obtained by burn
ing sea plants. The manufacturers
mentioned above are the largest
CONSUMERS OL Julb plOuuSI'
AS cheap source of hydrochloric
acid the coarse salt also furnishes
the means for more economical
production of the chlorides of heavy
metals, such as iron, zinc and other
minerals used in the arts and manu-
features. Salt Of this grade is also
factor in the making of bleaching
lime and is even used in some To-
calities as a fertilizer.
Farmers say that the application
of from 400 to 500 pounds per acre
as a top dressing on dry grasslands
and pasture is followed by good re-
suits, as it aids in diffusing any re-
sources of plant food existing or
worn out land it is of some benefit
in rendering the soil more able to
retain moisture.
The finer grades of coarse salt are
in great demand among those en-
gagged in the salt fish business, and
1t is sometimes used as one of the
ingredients of certain kinds of paint.

one hundred million pounds Of
salt are used in the United States
every year by our dairies in the
manufacture of butter and cheese,
and this is only a small part Of the
enormous quantities of this necessi-
ty used in the kitchens and on the
tables of American homes or in the
mammoth packing houses and fish
curing establishments of this coun-
try. "Where does 1t all come
from? is most natural query, and
the answer there to is the reason
for this article.
Just 100 years ago, congress, by
passing the restricted commerce act,
gave the domestic manufacturer Of
salt its first impetus, and since that
time this country has supplied large
amounts OF the saline substance for
home consumption, but despite the
millions of tons of salt produced an.
nually from the extensive salt works
at Onondaga, N. Y, and from Ohio,
Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska, or
from the high grade Of rock. salt
found near Petite Anse, La, the de-
mand is greater than the supply
and large shipments of this indis-
pens'ble staple are still imported
into the United States from France
Italy, England, the Bahamas, and
more recently from Porto Rico.
About 100000 bushels of salt
enters the port Of Boston every year
in the hulls of tall sailing ships
Most of It comes from Turks island
in the West Indies, but other car
goes come from T'rapani, Sicily, in
Italian barks manned by swarthy
and picturesque tars, whose big ear
rings, gaudy kerchlefs and fierce
mustachios hark back to the good
old times of Captain Kidd and the
scenes that Howard Pyle so excels
in depicting.
The Trapani salt is used extern
sively in the salt fish industry and
many vessels take cargoes from
there direct to Gloucester, whence
they proceed to Portland, Me-, or
Boston,, after d'scharging, to load
lumber for South America.

THE FIRST WATCH AND CLOCK

ond Hand Was introduced.

Since celebration are the order of
the day who not observe the sixth
centenary of the introduction
that the first clock known to the
world was placed in the tower of San
Eustorgia, in Milan.
The greatest establishment and ad-
mlration were manifested by crowds
who come to see the timepiece. In
1874 clock was installed in the pal
ace of the mobiles at Padua. This was
a wonder of mechanism indeed, for
besides indicating the hours it showed
the course of the sun, the revolutions
of the planets, the various phases Of
the moon, the months and the fetes
of the year.
The priod of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was II years, not
SO very long all things considered,
1880 A half century later an alarm
clock made it appearance. This, we
are told, was looked upon by the peo-
pie of that age as an ''un instrument

The fortunate possessor of this
clock was Andrea Alciato, council
Tor Of Milan. The chroniclers have
placed on record that this clock
( sounded bell at stated hour. and
at the same time a little wax candle
was lighted automatically. How this
was done we are not told, but 1t must
not be overlooked that until about 70
years ago we had no means of obtain

THE BLACK HAND AND CARUSO
Famous Tenor Tells How the Society
Made Him the Object Of Its
Solicitors Attentions.

Enrteo Caruso has been telling the
English newspapers more details of
how 1t happened that the Black Hand
made him an object of its solicitous
attentions during the opera season in
New York. He is inclined to believe
that there would never have been any
trouble at all If it hadn't been for the
fact that he has charitable nature.
According to Caruso, the Black
Hand would not have been tempted to
bother him if it hadn't been for an
Italian barber in New York. The bar.
Der shaved the singer frequently and
well and Caruso was pleased with his
work. So when he heard the barber
one day deploring the lack of suff1-
cient cash to enable him to take a trip
back to Italy to see old friends once
more Caruso delighted the man by
making him present of $500.
Il wish l had never done It," says
Caruso. my Italian barber was so
overcome with delight that he singed
all the hair off one side of my head
and cut half my chin off that morn
ing. Then he went away and told the
newspaper men all about 1t. Next day
| got fifty letters each asking me for
$500. Next week got twice the num-
Der and several threatening letters
from the writer's of the first batch.
And few days afterward the Black
Hand people tried to blackmail me.
It's very hard work being charitable"
