By-Product Coke Oven,

The iron industry of this country
has been adopting the by-product cox
ing process ut IL marvellous rate. There
are practically no by-product coke
plants in the United States, which do
not recover ammonia, tar and light oil
(crude benZOD.
In the vast majority of the plants
also surplus gas is recovered and util-
lied either ut the plant itself or by
distribution to outside consumers
There are possibly two or three very
small by-product coke plants ut which
tar and ammonia are not recovered for
disposal to the outside markets, but
these would certainly represent con-
siderably less than l per cent of the
total by-product cokinG capacity of
the country that is not now equipped
with benzol-recOvery plants, and the
by-prOduct coking plants now under
construction have either contracted for
benzol-recovery equipment or Indicated
strong probability that such provi-
sion will be made.-Metallurgi and

FIND VOLCANO IN MINDANAO
Recent Eruption Was Apparent, Lieu
tenant DonneIIy Says Of the
Discovery.

Mindanao has new-volcanO, accord
Ing to the Mndanao Herald. Lieuten-
ant DOnnelly, while on II hike into the
interior of LunaO province, discovered
an active volcano in the piaGayungan
range of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant
DOnnelly says of his discovery in the
following report:
June 5, 1916, the undersigned, in
command of IL combined detachment
of the First CotabatO company, and
the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad
northwest through the Plagayungan
mountain range, came in sight of an
active volcano which from all indica-
tons had recently erupted II discharge
of volcanic ash and either smoke or
fame.
"From the fact that foliage in the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
scorched as though by flame, hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed. leaving
the stalks intact and the scOrched
leaves retaining their form. it was
thought that the eruption had been
recent. At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de-
strOyed the fragile remnants of the
burned foliage"

EeaIty Of Partners.

member Of the New York supreme
court, reproving a New York firm of
architects for canceling an agreement,
says: authorities unanimously agree
that there Is scarcely any relation in
life which calls for more absolute good
faith than the relation of partners"
Also, "A purer and more elevated NOR
atty is demanded of partners than the
common morality of the trade" The
meaning is that an individual who
look out solely for himself, while a
partner must never consider his own
advantage apart from that of his as
sociates.

in financial troubles, which was pretty
often, he could count upon the assist
ance of Mr.. Tryon. benevolent ancient
man of wealth. Tryon never refused
him money, but didn't hand out as
much as the colonel thought was nee
essary. Mr.. Tryon's mind ran on shil-
lings, while that of the colonel ran on
pounds. In those days, as in our own
times, the man who makes business
of high wassail needs a large income,
and the colOnel's embarrassments grew
and multiplied. He realized that q
good haul was necessary to get him out
of his difficulties. The idea of robbing
Mr.. Tryon at once occurred to him. OF
course 1t was rather mean to pillage
man who had befriended him so
much, but no good business man allows
sentiment to interfere with commerce.
So it happened that ON the night of
January s, Mr.. Tryon woke from
deep dream of peace to find a huge
masked figure bending over his bed
The figure held lanthorn in one hand
and horse pistol, about the size Of q
hitching post, in the other. While this
intruder stood guard, a second robber
bound the old man cruelty and gagged
him. He was trussed up so tight he
had great difficulty in breathing.
Leaving him in this shape, the maraud-
ers ransacked the premises and carried
away $1,000 in money, and jewelry to
the value Of $4,000. After two or
three hours Of misery, Mr.. Tryon man
aged to free himself of the gag. and
yelled so shrilly that the night
watch came to his relief.
The robbery remained a mystery for
about twenty-four hours. 1t happened
that Mr.. Tryon had friend, an alder
man, who was fond Of sleuthing, and
this alderman soon traced the crime to
Turner, and recovered the money and
jewels where that gallant warrior had
hidden them. And as Pepys intimated,
the robbery was the talk Of the town,
and continued to be for many a long
day. 1t was one Of the first important
burglaries in the criminal annals Of
England,

Japan's Rising Cotton Trade.

Japan's exports of cotton yarn have
shown a large increase since the lat
ter part of last year. According to the
Japan Chronicle, report of invesuga-
tons made by the Spinning associa-
ton, exports of various cotton cloths
amounted in value to $23, 4l5.072. This
figure is .unprecedentedly large and
shows an increase of 81. 123, 461 over
the amount for the preceding six
months and S1O,966, ASS over that of
the corresponding period last year.
The highest rate Of increase was seen
in the exports to India, followed by
the exports to Siberia, while the ex:
ports to the Philippines decreased by
about one-half, as compared with the
preceding half year.

THE coLoNEL's LAST STAND.

IN THE night of January 10. 1904,
~ just before retiring to his virtuous
couch, Samuel Pepys wrote the follow
ing in that diary Of his, which was
destined to become world-famous long
after his death:
"All our discourse tonight was about
Mr.. Tryon's late being robbed; aud
that Colonel Turner Ga mad, swearing,
confident fellow, well known by all,
and by me) one much indebted to this
man for his very livelihood, was the
man that either did it or plotted it /;
and the money and the things are
found in his hand, and he and his wife
are now in Newgate for it; of which
we are all glad, so very known a rogue
he was"
Col. James Turner was the sort Of
man you read about in historical nov
els. A swaggerer and rufiler. with his
eye quick to read offense in look or
a smile. He was a great drinker and
gambler and spent his evenings in the
inns. where he kept the varlets busy
drawing sack. In his day he had been
a mighty soldier and had demonstrate
ed that he was a brave man upon sew
eral fields. He had made a hit with
King Charles, too. for he was q man
after the kings own heart. He was
humorous and jovial, and had no re-
spect whatever for the moral law.
