MEAN TO STAMP OUT 0BEAH
Authorities Will Put Stop to Practice
Too Long Prevalent In the
Virgin Islands.

The American officials Of the Virgin
Islands have taken steps to deal with
the novel but serious crime OF Obeah,
which has long been practiced In the
islands. Matilda Francois has been
arrested and incarcerated as an obeah
woman. and announcement has been
made that prompt action will be taken
by the Americans to show that this
wicked and shameful practice must
cease.
The obeah is sort Of first cousin
Of the voodoo of darkest Africa, which
Is said to be still practiced in the in
terror of Hayti. and which has not
been entirely stamped out in other
islands of the West Indies group. The
obeah man or woman sets up as sort
of witch doctor processing to cure all
Ills by use Of charms, to be skilled in
the preparation of love philters, and
Of connections that are believed to be
certain to bring harm to the enemy Of
the victim who pays.
Superstition still has such strong
hold on the minds Of those who be-
lieve in obeah that they pay their good
money and protect them in court until
Obeah cases at times have become the
bane OF officials. Often convictions
are only brought about through deep
laid plots and skillful work on the
part of the police.

Eucaiyptus Valuable Tree.

Eucalyptus will grow under many
adverse conditions, SO long as they are
protected from frost. The young trees
cannot stand frost. and this fact has
restricted the growth Of the species
to certain favorable sections Of Cali
fornia and the Southwest. On the
other hand, the trees will thrive on
very poor soil and they do not require
very much attention. Some of the
largest commercial plantations. main
tanned by railroad companies for tie
making purposes, are located along the
shores Of the Pacific ocean near San
Diego, where their principal moisture
comes from the heavy fogs that roll in
from the sea, and which are absorbed
by the leaves.

Great Wastage in Smoke.
The general public has only the
faintest notion Of the wastage repre-
scented in the fumes and smokes from
belching stacks quite apart from the
beneficient economies following from
their abatement where the nature of
these outpOurings is harmful to man
and vegetation. In the smelling y
lead the fume contains anywhere from
3 to 10 per cent of the volatilized met
al in the form of lead oxide and lead
sulphide. with compounds of arsenic
and anthony. This percentage is
we'll worth recovering. Doctor Cott-
rell is authority for the statement that
not less than SO valuable substances
are found in fumes which, if not col
lected, would be lost during the smelt-
Ing and refining of various ores, etc.
At Great Falls, Mont, there was at
| one time a daily loss in dust from the
stacks of one of the large smelters of
3,775 pounds of copper, LOG ounces of
silver, and OIL ounces of gold. By an
adequate provision for dust recovery.
this smelter was able to save in the
course of single year metallic val
ues amounting to $13O.263.
The blighting gas, sulphur dioxide,
given of from the stacks of copper
shelters can be transformed into use
full substances by turning the gas into
sulphuric acid or sulphur. Sulphuric
acid is largely made here by treating
pyrites, and we now consume annually
in the neighbOrhood of 6,25O,0OO tons
of 50 per cent sulphuric acid. To a
great extent this corrosive fluid is a
prime constituent in the preparation
Of fertilizers especially where phos-
plate rock is treated for this purpose.
1t is also used in converting the am
monia by-products of cooking ovens
into ammonia sulphate. Sulphuric
acid is in great demand by explosive
factories, oil refiners, steel mills and
varied industries engaged in the max.
ing of heavy chemicals. SulphuriC
acid is likewise extensively employed
by smelters and the latter are paying
as high as $50 ton today for the
stuff. Sulphur dioxide is used in
the preparation OF wood pulp for pa
per making. both as disintegrating
and bleaching agent.

In dealing with dust alone, the nrst
direct effort along this line had to 90
with a Portland plant near Riversiae'
Cal. An electrical treater was INSTALL
ed there few years ago by way OF e4-
pertinent, and a couple of years later
was collecting something like nun
dred tons of dust daily. Prior to tnat
the dust had been scattered broadcast
and settled upon the groves OF ada
cent orange growers, leading to extern
sive litigation. Analysis of the re-
covered dust disclosed the presence OF
an appreciate percentage OF potash
but this attracted no marked attention
at the time. Since then, particularly
now that it is no longer possible for
us to get potash from our prime
source, Germany, this element so es-
sential to a balanced plantfood Is In
great demand.
Last year the plant at Riverside
started full blast to actually create
dust as its first concern in order to
recover the potash which previously
had been only by-product In the
manufacture of cement.
Cement Becomes By-Produet.
This is certainly a romantic devel-
opment of modern industry, where an
apparatus Installed for the purpose OF
saving the life of the factory turns out
to be the center Of operations around
! which the entire plant is adjusted.
In other words, the cement becomes
for the once the by-product and the
profits on the potash furnish an ample
revenue, while the cement is just 80
much additional gain.
Anyone at all familiar with the aver
age cement plant and the gray pow
dered appearance Of the nearby ter
ritory can realize the boon that would
be conferred by the general adoption
of electrical precipitators not only In
preventing the escape Of the dust but
in saving the potash which Is so much
desired.

of the whole story of Doctor Cottrell's
success is the fact that he has pre-

 Ae- ces from the armies in France contl.Iued to dominate the corn market and gave prices an upward slant from the outset. In addition, the bull side of the market was favored by knowl- edge and suspension of the grain pri- ority rule on the railroads would tend to curtail the movement of the corn crop. Announcement of proposed sum- mary action by the food administration in regard to seizure of hoarded wheat seemed likewise to be construed as ad- verse to the bears.
