 About 130 p. m. I met Tinlmens in a saloon in Jersey City. We had been talking about destroying the books for the past two months, as I was short in my accounts.

 Walsh Burned Up Books.
 T opened the door and the three of us went in. I then opened the safe door and took out three checkbooks and the cesh book.

I did not know any thing about the fire until this morning"

DIsPosING OF CIRCUIT.
One Of the Serious Problems of Quar-
rying and Its Solutions.

One OF the greatest necessities in con-
neetion with the future development
OF the granite, marble and stone quar-
ries in the United States is the proyis-
ion of an outlet Of the waste product.
This feature is deserving OF a great
deal of scientific study. The employ.
ment Of a, chemical expert at some Of
the centers might bring forth some val
liable results. Quarry operators, as a
rule. have been too busy in the past to
consider this problem at length, but the
enormous production of all classes OF
architectural and monumental stone
during the past twenty years, with no
effort to dispose of the grout piles, has
resulted in the latter becoming a Sc
rious problem. One of the most admir-
able systems we have seen with rela-
ton to this matter was shown us few
days ago at Carthage, Mo, where a
comparatively young but very progress
siye company is making its by-produet

DEAD SEA WATER.
It's Density lie More Than Doubls That
of the Red Sea.

of the Red Sea.
The Dead SEQ contains % per cent
of solid matter and is bulk for bulk
heavier than the human body.
Many believe that 1t is impossible to
swim in this sea. and even In Jerusa-
lem ridiculous fables are told as to the
impossibility of bathing there and that
no animals or vegetation can exist
near its shores.
So far as swimming is concerned.
The excessive buoyancy of the water
simply renders it difficult to make
much Roadway. but swim Is both
feasible and enjoyable. Care should
be taken, however. not to let the water
get into the eyes.
Indeed, did Palestine belong to any
power but Turkey probably the north
ern shore of the Dead sea would be a
popular bathing station. No doubt the
chloride of magnesia which enters so
largely into the composition OF the
water would be found to have medici-
nal and curative properties.
Perhaps better idea OF the density
of the water of this inland sea may
be realized from the following statis-
tics: In a ton of water from the Cas-
plan sea there are eleven pounds OF
salt: in the Baltic. eighteen pounds; In
the Black sea. twenty-six pounds; In
the Atlantic. thirty-one pounds; In the
English channel. seventy'two pounds;
IN the Mediterranean. eighty-dye
