LESS C0L0RING USED IN TEA
Uncle Sans Inspectors Rejected Only
Small Quantity at Ports on This
Ground During Past Year.

The annual report Of George f.
Mitchell, Uncle Sans supervising tea
| examiner, whose inspectors examine
every pound Of tea coming into the
United States to determine both its
quality and purity, shows that less
coloring matter is now being used in
tea.
What is known ms the "Read test"
to determine whether teas contain col
oring matter affecting their purity,
was first used in 1912, Mt which time
new regulations and standards fer ila-
ported teas also becaTGe effective. The
first year of its use 513,633 gounds,
more than 80 PER cent of the total ira
portatiols, We're rejected on account
of artificial coloring matter. The per.
centage has decreased until the last
fiscal year it was very small.
The tea examiner says that it is be-
lieved the use of artificial coloriLg in
China has practically stopped, the Chi
nese government having IaaGe nany
appeals to the people on the ground
that the practice is deceptive and un-
fair.
In the last fiscal year. while only
2,1G3 pounds of tea were rejected on
account of artificial coloring, 1,76S,41O
pounds were rejected as being below
quality.

GREAT WASTE STOPPED
Coke By-ProduCtS Reach Value of
$3O,OO0,0OO a Year.
Nearly Eight Million Dollars Worth Of
Benzol, Most of Which For
merly Was Thrown Away,
Marketed in 1915.

According to statistics which have
been gathered by Uncle Sans geo
logical survey, the recovery of the val
liable by-proIucts frOIl American coke
manufacture made big advances in
| 1915 The value Of these by-prOducts
last year is estimated at S3OUOG,oOU
u large increase over the previous high
water mark Of S1T5OC,0OO in 1914. The
chances Nre that the savings from the
coke ovens this year will far surpass
even the $3O,OO0,COO for 1915.
In spite of the fact that there were
material increases in the output and
value of gas, tar and ammonia, which
was to Ge expected with greater out
put of by-prOduct coke, the increase in
benzol products was remarkable and
presented the most interesting feature
for the year in the coke industry. The
value Of these products rose from less
than S1,00O,000 il 1914 to more than
$7,76O,0OO in 1915, according to officials
of the survey, While benzol has been
recovered in this country from coke
oven gas for number of years, prior
to 1915 the market was small and the
prices low.
The awakening Of the American peO-
pie to the neeG for a dye industry in
the United States coming about mostly
because of the great shortage that has
existed and still exists, and to a rcali-
ZatiOn that such an industry cannot
spring full-grown from nothing, but
must be fostereG ani developed, is now
Il well-known story. Few are aware,
however, Of the progress that has teen
made within a year in laying the fOun-
dations for future progress in that in
dustry. Under the spur Of almost
fabulous prices survey officials have
found that retOrt coke ovens through
out the country quickly installed elab-
crate benZol-recoVery systems and now
save the valuable oils that not very
long ago were being buried or wasted
or, if saved, were begging for a mar
ket.
In 1914, according to statistics, there
were II benzol plants in this country,
but they We're all controlled by one
company. Last year 1G additional
coke plants We're equipped with benzol
apparatus and the output was greatly
increased. The incentive for putting
in this equipment was, of course, the
opportunity to contract at war prices
for benz5l and other similar materials
for use in making explosives for the
European countries. When the demand
from that source shall have ceased the
United States Will be in possession of |
a large supply of the raw materials
from which dyes and chemicals are
made, ana will be able, if trade cOndi-
tions are right, to enter into the manu-
facture of these essential materials on
an ever-iLcreasing scale.

Electricity vs.. courtshIp.

street In Muncie was much vexed by
the repeated thefts of electric light
bulbs from his porch. One night he
kept watch and caught well-known
young man unscrewing the bulb from
its socket.
The young man begged for lenlty,
