Carbide From Sawflr •*.
The manufacture of calcium
carbide from sawdust .has been
successfully undertaken by the
Ottawa, Ont., Lumber company.
The experiment was* entered upon |
some weeks ago, shortly after the;
plant was established at New I
Edinburg.
It had long been a
with this company how to dispose
ef its sawdust. Some time ago a i
law was enacted forbidding thej
dumping of sawdust iu rivers.
Then a genius devised a plan to
get rid of the stuff. The new pro-
cess occupies the same position in
the conversion of the cellulose tis-
sue Of wood into carbon that the
Bessemer process does in elimi-
nating carbon in the manufacture
of steel. The Emerson method,
which is used, aims to first pro-
duce the carbon from the sawdust
and then to electrically smelt this
with lime to form calcium car-
bide. It is claimed that by this
process carbon can be produced in
a better state of purity than by
other means, and more cheaply
than coal can be mined. Coke and
charcoal have more or less sul-
phur, slate, Bilica, etc., which are
objectionable in the manufacture
of iron and steel as well as cal-
cium carbide.
Experiments with Ottawa saw-
dust have shown the possibility
of producing a practically pure
carbon, and it is claimed that
carbide manufactured from such
carbon will produ< e a larger quan
tity of acetylene gra than carbide
manufactured from coke. The
success of such a process for the
utilization of common sawdust
opens up a new field of industry
and revolutionizes the manufac-
ture of calcium carbide.

that everything is in good shape
One day not so long since a part;
of callers came in and requested
the ripils to write the answers ti
several questions propounded
them. One of these questiom
was: "Tell what you know abou
Admiral Dewey's great fight."
The children set to work flgur
ing on their answers, but th<
teacher noticed one of tl£ girl:
did not make a move to do so.
"Why don't you write your an
swer to the question?" she de
manded of the idle pupil.
""Taint no use," was the slow
response. '1 don't kno.v. nothing
about it."
"But," remonstrated the teach
er, "you must try anyhow; you
must not sit there idle while thf
others are doing the best th ;j
can. See if yon cannot think oi
something, my dear."
"No use," protested the pupil.
"All I know is that Dewey and
Corbett fought, and I don't know
which whipped, and I don't cart

the arm chair and nibbling at ice

him at a disadvantage, where he
needed every advantage that posi

then, mumbling a little, for he

spoke: "Why don't you let me?
There is no other glass for the get-

In the Scotch Highlands there

ground, and several of the inhab-

Am sains Audacity.
Each interested observer of the
part the American navy has had
in the recent war has a favorite
incident which stands clear from
all other events of the campaign.
For stern bravado, says the
United Sorvice Magazine, it would
be hard to rival the feat of Ensign
Gillis, who saw a stray torpedo
coming slowly but surely toward
the anchored torpedo boat Porter.
He sprang overboard, turned the
nose of the torpedo in a safer di-
rection, and screwed up the fir-
ing-pin tightly, so that it would
not operate. Then, treading wa-
ter, he saluted Lieutenant Fre-
mont, and reported:
"Sir, I have to report I have
captured a torpedo."
"Bring it on board, sir," com-
manded-Fremont, and Gillis act-
ually did so, swimming with it to
the ship, and fastening tackle to
it. .. ... ... v. .. i
The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of a demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at-
tack of sciatic or inflammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infliction
is demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. It has never beea claimed
that Chamberlain's pain balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure rheu-
matism, and hundreds bear testimo-
ny to the truth of tbis statement
One application relieves the pain,
and thia quick relief whioh it affords
is alone worth many times its cost.
