Nickel In soapmakina.

1t will probably be news to the av-
erage ablutionist that the metal nickel
is used in making his soap. And fur
ther, perhaps, he will be glad to learn
that although the nickel, finely ground,
is mixed with the other soap ingredi-
ents the finished product contains none
of it. This is so because the nickel
acts as what the chemist calls cata-
lyst-that is, its presence causes GER
tain desirable changes to occur, al
though it takes no part in the chemical
reaction Offensive oils and those too
thin for satisfactory use when mixed
with finely divided nickel and subject
to the action of current of hydrogen
become deodorized and harder and
suitable for the soapmaker's use. Cot
tonseed Oil, for example, after the
nickel-hydrogen treatment makes q
satisfactory soap.

UNION DEPOT BURNS DOWN
Passenger Terminal at ST. Paul De-
stroycd by Fire.


stroycd by Fire.
With St PauPs Union depot mass
of ruins the hundreds of travellers and
their baggage are being taken care
OF with little loss of time by the sta
ton employees.
Interest surrounds the actual cause
OF the fire, inasmuch as it started in
the kitchen of the restaurant on the
second floor and was not discovered
until nearly three hours after the last
employe of the restaurant had gone
home.
b. }. Thorpe, night master at the
depot, was the first to notice the fire.
He detected smoke and traced it's
origin to the kitchen. Finding the
door leading to it locked he hurried
away TO look for key. When he re-
turned the door had been burned away
and the place was roaring like fur
mace. Within twenty five minutes the
roof OF the big waiting room dropped.
There were about 100 people in the
building when the fire broke out and
all escaped safely. Four hundred
trunks in the baggage room were re-
moved before the roof fell in.

City Traffic Regulation.

A device known as the Porter-R
traffic semaphore has been placed in
service to direct the flow Of traffic at
Broad and Chestnut streets, Philadel-
phia. The device is similar to the
semaphore in use on railroads. and is
operated by the policeman stationed
there 1t is painted red and white and
in large black letters bears the word
Closed" There are really two soma
phores on the device, one for the traf-
f1c in each direction. The device is
operated by means of hand lever.
When one semaphore is raised traffic
on Broad street is closed and that on
Chestnut is opened. When that is low
cred the other is raised, thus opening
the traffic on Broad street.

large feet, and the length of its tail is
considerable It's food consists of ber-
ries, insects and honey. 1t has an ex-
tensile tongue, the tip Of which is
forked and, being covered. with fbers,

the parson bird in gathering it's food.

Four Bad Snakes.

Snakes are much maligned ,reatures,
although they are for the most part,
of considerable value to man. as they
live almost entirely on insects and the
small rodents that are injurious to
crops. OF all the snakes that inhabit
North America there are really only
four that are dangerous. These are
the copperhead, the moccasin, the rat
tlesnake and a little snake known as
the coral snake OF course there IRE a
number of different species at tL0 rat
tier about thirty, but they inhabit
different parts of the country and are
all to be known from the fact that
they rattle" when approached All the
rest of our snakes are harmless.

will be forwarded to the senate soon.
So far as is learned Mr.. Day was
