modern thrift In tho utilization of what
was formerly considered waste, and even
the smaller abattoirs, while they haven't
attained tho scientific perfection of the
western packing housea, aro reformed char
acters. It was only a few years ngo that the
abattoir was usually built upon tho bank
of a stream nnd all refuse was washed Into
the stream. In courso of tlmo neighbors
wcro Inconsiderate enough to protest
against tho practice. Sanitary bees Invaded
Innumcrablu bonnets and a howl of protost
went up ngalnst tho abattoirs. It was
necessary to dlspoRo of the refuse In some
fashion. Chemists wcro called In.

The development of tho tremendous anl
llno color Industry is altogether duo to
chemical experiment with wasto product.
In tho dry distillation of coal or wood for
gas thn gas passes through a succession of
washers, which take out Its Impurities,
Theue Impurities, Including nmmonla, car
bolic acid, acetic acid and various nitrogen
compounds, wcro formerly waste, but uro
now separated and used. In fact, nearly
all of the acetic acid In tho market Is so
cured from tho dry distillation of wood.
Klvo per cent of tho coal used In gas
manufacture Is coal tar and by experiment
chemists found thut this coat tar, always
regarded os wasto residue, contained sub
stances useful In iho making of dyes. Fully
10 per cent of tho weight of the coal tar
Is nvnllnblo for this piirposo nnd upon tho
basis of thin discovery tho enormous coal
tar Industry has grown.
New plants have been put Into many
of tho coko regions to collect tho coal tar
liberated In coko manufacture and It will
not bo long before tho open coke oven will
bo a thing of tho past. Whoro coal Is burned
In an open oven no coal tar can b'o collected
nnd largo pr.oflts, nee Jltprajly, thrown, away,
but by burning tho coal In closed retorts
all tho coal tar can bo recovered and used.
This color Industry, which chemists call
tho greatest of tho modern chemical In
dustries, has called for other chemical de
velopments. It demands large quantltlox
of sulphuric acid, of soda, etc., nnd chemists
h,avo sharpened tholr w'ts upon the prob
lem of ohtnlnlng these products at a mini
mum expense.
Until recently tho greator part of tho
culphur used In this country was Imported
from Sicily. Now, through chemical pro
cesses, tho tmlphur contained In gold, sil
ver and zinc Is liberated and burned to
ftulphur dioxide, from which almost all of
uur sulphuric acid Is made.

In connection with all of our mining de
velopment chemistry has played nn Im
portant part. Ores can bo mined with
prollt today that would havo been prac
tlcally worthless a few years ago. In tho
old mining days only high grade oro was
profltnblo and only a certain percentage of
tho gold contained In tho oro was freed.
Tho tailings thrown nsldo held n consider
able, quantity of gold, but could not bo
worked by the ordinary processes, so woro
piled mountnln high and disregarded until
chemists discovered that tho gold was
tolulilc In potassium cyanldo and that by
washing In a very weak solution of potas
sium cyanide tho tailing gold could bo
prolltnbly separatod from tho refuse. Tho
samo procoHS has led to tho working of low
grade ores, running ) or 55 to the ton,
which could not bo profitably worked by tho
ordinary mining processes.
The diver contained In lead has also been
freed nnd utilized, It was found by chem
Ists that when tho melted lead was mixed
with zinc tho silver formed nn nlloy with
the zlno nnd tloatcd to tho surface. When
thin mass was taken from the lead and
heated In n retort tho zinc, being volatile,
was freed and loft a deposit so rich In
silver that It was easily purified.
Tho applications of chemistry to mining
processes aro legion, but It Is In other
branches of Industry that practical chem
Istry Is now making Its strides. Tho Stand
rd Oil company Is a hardy exponent of tho
merits of industrial chemistry nnd has ex
pert chemists constantly employed. As tor
that matter, so havo all tho great g.w
plants, coko plants, su;ar refineries, starch
factories, etc.
Oil Product.
The orNtnal wasto of tho oil business
was enormous; now It Is next to nothing.
Of courso tho primary aim Is tho produc
tlon of kerosene, but crudo oil contains, on
the ono side, oils lighter than kerosene,
such as gasolluo. naphtha, and, on tho
other side, products much heavier than
kerosene, such as parAflln. At ono tlmo all
of thes by-products woro wasto, now every
one of them Is utilized.
By first distillation the lighter oils am
freed and collected. Then ths koroseno Is
distilled, leaving a product that Is workod
over Into hard paraffin nnd soft paramn or
vaseline. A heavy all left after tho col
lectins of the prafHn Is used for lubrlc.it
Ins and fuel oil, much of It being mads
Into car and axle grease. After all these
processes a solid mass of carbon Is left In
the retorts nnd this Is used to a consider
able extent In making carbon sticks for
electric light.
When one considers that until a few years
ago every ono of these products save kero
sine was absolutely waste ono can reallzp
to some extent the planu chemistry Is takln

their cream and butter, were confronted by
great qusutltles of skim milk for which
there was apparently no use. Skim milk

Tho rhcmlst stepped In and changed all
tint. The milk Is curdled with alkali nnd
a dried product produced which Is soluble
In water. Tho casein has been used for
paper sizing, kalsomlnlng, etc., and suc
cessful experiments havo been made with
It In tho manufacture of artificial foods.
Moistened with water to n gelatinous con
sistency, put under a hydraulic press and
then washed In ncld, It forms a hard and
Indissoluble substance, of which buttons
and similar articles aro mado. Chemists
sny that tho casein powder, which Is llko
a fine tasteless flour, may bo substituted for
milk In cooking, and has a great future In
this respect.

Chemistry applied to tho sugar Industry
has boon Invaluable; nnd, particularly In
connoctlon with the beet sugar manufac
ture, has recently offected a wonderful
saving. Tho waste In the making of beet
sugar was at first enormous, because the
molasses was absolute wasto. It, contains
products from the boot rootB which glvn
It a very bitter taste, and Is also rich In an
Iknll which spoils Its flavor. So, although
moro than one-half of tho weight of tho
molasses was sugar, It was unavailable
save for fermentation and alcohol.
Experiment proved that dry lime, mixed
with tho molasses, combined with the
sugar, formed a product Insoluble In
water. Washing tho molasses would then
separate this product frOm all tho other
foments. Tho llmo and suuar nroduct
being heated with carbonic ncld, formed an
Indissoluble product, and leaving tho sugar
frca to bo easily separated, ny this process
today 00 per cent of tho sugar Is recovered
from beet molasses and thero Is prnctlcally
no molasses In tho beet sugar factories.
In the manufacture of cauo sugar the mo-
lasses la about as valuable as tho amount Of
sugar contained In It would be, so there Is
no use for tho process ndoptdl In boot
sugar-making, but there Is less 'weight of
ugar in tho molasses than thero wns for
merly. This fact and tho fact that tho mo
lasses Is now made In vacuum pans and
ennnot bo burned or thickened as It was In
the old-fashioned open pans, accounts for
tno fact that there Is no moro black mo
lasses and no moro black gingerbread sucn
as mother used to make.
The glucoso manufacturers havo failed In
chemists and found a new eourco of oroflt.
Tho corn grain has, In addition to Us starch
product, a tiny germ In which lies its llfo
principle. This germ was formerly crushed
wltn tno starch, separated and thrown aside
as waste. Very lately It has been shown
that thin germ Is rich In oil which can bo
utilized. Tho germ Is now separated from
tne starch and crushed. Tho oil aathcred
finds a ready market and within Xhs Inst
flvo years millions of dollars' worth of this
oil has beon exported to Europe, where all
corn products aro In great demand After
tho oil Ik taken from the germ the gluten
left In thy enke Is used for varnish and ths
residue Is used for cattle food.
Tho cornstalk also Is ground and used for
cnttlo food, but llrst tho pith of tho stalk is
extracted and used for the lining of voisoIh,
tho theory bolng that If a fissure oceurn In
tho framework of tho vessel tho pith lining,
becoming wet, will swell and to soniu extent
closo tho fissure.
A I.Ut for the South.
Tho cottonseed oil Industry has elimi
nated Its wasto almost entirely, although
twenty years ago every part of the cotton
seed savo the oil was waste product. In
the cottonseed oil factory now tho teed Is
collected nfter coming through ttw cotton
Sin. and Is first stripped of Its lint, which
Is ueod In tho manufacture of certain Un-li
of paper, felts, etc. Next the shell of the
seed Is removed nnd either ground for cat
tlo food or used for fuel. In the latter case
the nshm are collected for potash.
Tho kernel of tho seed Is ground and
pressed to oxtract tho oil and the residua
is used tor cattlo food. The oil In process
of refining gives off a wasto which enters
Into soap making and the making of oleo
margarine.
Olycerlno, used In such great quantities
nt present, was for years a wasto product.
All wtsto from fatty oils contnlns com
pounds of an acid with glycerine. Tho
acid will combine with an alkali, leaving
the glycerine In a watery solution, from
which It Is collected by evaporation and
distillation. Immense quantities of this re
clalmod wnsto product aro used In tho
mnklng of explosives.
When steel Is melted In a Bessemer con
verter the phosphorus, which used to bo n
nulBance, is separated from the steel by tho
Introduction of lime, with which the phoa
phorus combines readily. This phosphorus
Is then used as a fertilizer.
The slog from Iron furnaces Is converted
Into cement.
Tho tin Is taken from old tin cans by
chemical process and Is used over and over
again.
Even tho acids used for chomlcal purposes
aro not allowed to outllvo tholr useful
ness with the accomplishment of their pur
pose. The Standard Oil company forraorly
wasted great quantities of sulphuric acid
after it had been used to removo tho Im
purities from tho oil. Tho acid was drained
off Into the river. Now It is used In n fer
tilizer particularly adapted to soli where
phosphate rack must be dissolved.
Thon again, In n certain great galvaniz
ing works the Iron was cleaned with sul
phuric acid, which was then run into tha
nean-st river. This method of disposing of
tho wnsto was forbidden. Chemists were
consulted. The solution was mado stronger
so thnt it could be clarified and used ro-
peatedly. Finally, when It could no longer
bo used for washing, It was evaporated and
the sulphate of Iron extracted from.lt. This
by-product proved so valuable that It Is now
the chief product of the works.

Frrliflit-CnrrylitK MtcnniMhlpB for the
(rent Northern Itond.
W.hen tho two enormous ships now being
built for tho Orcat Northern Railroad com
pany nro turned over to that company, says
the Drooklyn Eagle, It will possess tho two
largest freight carrying steamships now
afloat. Each of them is nearly two and n
half blocks long. If placed In tho avcrago
city street one of these big ships would fill
It so thnt thero would barely bo room for
men to pass by, whllo the officers on tho
bridge of tho ship would he able to look
Into tho sixth or seventh story windows of
n skyscraper.
It will probably bo two years beforo
either of the two ships will approach com
pletion, and It Is likely to bo two years and
a half before they can be launched. Eight
hundred men are working In tho yards of
tho Eastern Ship Building company, oppo
slto New London, Conn., nnd prnctlcally
tho whole force is being concentrated on tho
work of building tho two big freighters.
Tho keels havo already been laid and soma
of the center frames havo been placed In
position. To tho uninitiated there Is llttlo
to Indicate that two vast ships aro being
built, for tho preliminary scaffolding looks
llko that used In building a house.
Nearly as much freight as could be stored
In threo big city warehouses can go In the
holds of each of these two big ships. Tho
dctual dimensions of the vessels are:
Length. C30 foct; width. 73 feet; depth, 56
feet. Each will havo a displacement at
33,000 tons. Tho biggest passenger steam
ship now afloat Is the Oceanic of the Whtto
Star line. Tho dimensions of the Oceanic
are: Leugth, 704 feet; width, 6S feet; depth,
43 feet; displacement, 28,500 tons. From
these figures It can be seen that while the
Oceanic Is longer than cither of tho two
mammoth freighters building at Now Lon
don, tho Orcat Northern's boats havo,
nevertheless, a greater displacement. The
displacement of a freight steamship Is, as
a rule, a reliable Indication of tho ship's
cargo carrying capacity and tho new boats,
thcreforo, will each have a greater carrying
space than tho Oceanic, even If that vessel
were fitted for transporting freight Instead
of passengers.
Thero will bo no place for fripperies on
the now ships. Each will be about as hand'
somo as a mud scow, but as useful as a pin
There will bo no accommodation for pas
scngers. If tho original plnns are carried
out, although It Is possible that, later, as la
the case with many of the blir English
freighters, enough cabins will bo built to
accommodate a dozen or so select travelers.
Tho ships of tho Qlen line, for Instance;
are nomlnnlly cargo boats, but they havo
excellent passenger accommodations beside
nnd aro ablo to obtain higher prices for
passage to China than oven the regular
passeuger steamships. ,
Each of tho Great Northern's freighters
will have four masts, but these masts will
carry powerful derricks Instead of sails.
Thero will he somo sails carried nbonrd
these ships, as thero aro on tho trnnsat
lantlo steamships, but It Is very seldom
nowadays that a big steamship has to hoist
a sail. If thero Is an utter breakdown of
nil tho engines the accident usually occurs
In ono of tho regular steamship lanes,
which are as well traversed as a country
streot. A broken down steamship, theroforo,
will havo Its choice of tows or of wasting
time with sails. Usually It wilt tako a tow.
Ships' masts In theso days aro used as der
ricks, as signal posts and for tho display of
lights at night; In fact, for everything ex
cept sails.
It Is the Intention of the Qreat Northern
Railroad company to make theso two big
freight steamships not only the largest, hut
the swiftest cargo carrlora In tho world.
They will be furnished with twin screws
and will have triple expansion engines
almost as powerful and swift as those ves
sels designed entirely for speed. Tho en
gines of tho Deutschland of tho North Ger
man Lloyd company yield 35,610 horso
power and It Is probnble. that tho engines
to bo built for tho Oreat Northern's boats
will bo almost as powerful. Tho speed of
these passenger ships Is a shade better
than twenty-two knots an hour and It Is
tho hnpo of the designers of tho now big
freighters to approach tho speed of tho
transatlantic steamships as neatly ns the
difference of construction will allov
Tho demand at present Is for freight
steamships of great carrying capacity and
of high speed. The freight rates charged
by the swift passenger steamships which
cross tho Atlantic and Pacific nro very
high, but thn prices are gladly paid by
merchants who want their goods In a
hurry. The company which is building
these big ships Is making no experiment.
It Is merely meeting what it considers to
be a well-marked demand for bigger boats
nnd higher speed.

That "republics are ungrateful" seems
to be borno out by the case of General John
C. Fremont, whoso deeds have been almost
forgotten by the present generation. The
great work of tho "Pathfinder" has been
Ignored entirely, If one may Judge by the
fact that on his gravo there Is not even a
stone to indicate tho resting place of a man
whom foreign nations delighted to honor
for the important work he had done.
All that remains of the man who opened
a way over the Itncky mquntnlns, who
suffered great privation and almost lost
his llfo for the benefit of his fellowman, Is
now resting In Hockland cemetery, In the
lower part of Hockland county, reports tho
Now York Mall and Express. The body
of General Fremont might Just ns well be
In any ordinary pasture lot ns where It Is,
so far as any distinguishing marks ore
concerned. Ills gravo is overgrown with
grasses and weeds nnd only tho men em
ployed regularly In tho cemetery nro ablo
to find the grave, of a man whoso reports
of explorations In this country stirred the
wholo civilized world.
Hockland cemetery Is in Spnrkllt and
runs up to ono of the highest points along
tho historic Hudson river. Tho highest
point was selected for General Fremont's
grave. From this spot Is afforded a view
for many miles around. To the weit ono
may look over tho better part of Hockland
county and see the Katnapo mountains, to
the north tho mountains that line tho
west shore of tho Hudson, to the south the
PalUndcs and to the cast the hills of West
chester county, with Long Island toutid
beyond. On a clear day tt Is possible to
seo across Long Island and cot a view of
tho sea.
When tho body of General Fremont was
taken to Hockland ceme'ery thero was
much talk of erecting a suitable mouurucnt
to mark the spot where ho was burled.
Subsequently an effort wns made to erect
such a monument, but it never got beyond
supplying a bone for a shaft. Tho base
was put In position and for a year or so
means woro furnished, to keep the grave In
order. Then Interest In the movement
lagged and there wns on end to It.
For several years nothing has been done
with tho grave. Weeds nnd wild grasses
havo grown over it until all trace of tho
original grnvo has disappeared. One man,
acting as tho representative of a Grand
Army post here, saw that the grave was
properly decorated with flowers on Me
morial day, much to tho surprise of the
cemetery attendants.
General Fremont began his career In the
scrvlco of his country na n teacher of
mathematics on the sloop-of-war Natchez
and went from there to the post of tencher
of mathematics on the frlgnto Independence
In 1835. President Van Huron appointed
hlra a second lieutenant In the corps of
topographical engineers. In 1S42 ho ex
plored tho south pass of tho Hncky moun
tains and did It with only n handful of men.
In doing that ho demonstrated tho feasi
bility of overland communication between
tho two sides of .tho continent and opened
the route to California. That feat com
manded nttentton both at homo nnd nbroad.
Ho mado more extensive explorations later
nnd In order to save the lives of bis party
was compelled to push through to Cali
fornia. On ono occnBlon, when caught In
heavy snows that baffled the Indian guides,
tho party was compelled to resort to can
nibalism In order to keep alive. When
what was left of the party reached Sacra
mento every man of thpra was nothing moro
than a living skeleton-"
Tho then Captain Fremont took an nctlve
part tn tho .Mexican .war. Ho wns elected
a senator from California tn 184D. A year
later the king, of Prussia,, through Baron
Humboldt, sent him golden medal "for
progress In the science" and he was made
a member of tho Geographical soelety cf
Berlin. By the Googrnphlcal society of Lon
don ho was awarded ar'founders' modal for
pre-eminent services tn promoting the
cause of geographical science."
General Fremont was later nominated for
president of the United States and was tho
first republican cnndldato for that office.
Prior to that tlmo ho had been n whig. Ho
was defeated by James B. Buchanan.
In 1861 General Fremont was nppolnted a,
major general' by President Lincoln. Ho
resigned from tho army In 1652 and was
nominated for tho presidency In 1864, but
withdrew from the contest.

somo rather Interesting 'discoveries. These

for n long tlmo 1 felt very much Intimi
dated by tho fan In my office and would
almost do an Oriental salaam when I ap
proached It In any way. But to recur to
my experiment.
"Tho office which I occupy Is ratlWT
gloomy, and, In fnct, is almost as largo
a3 a hall. Tho fan lind not been doing vety
good work tn a cooling way, although
there was a considerable amount of dis
turbance atmospherically In tho room. The
fan Is a large ono nnd of tho most Im
proved make. I put a thermometer di
rectly In front of tho fan so It would get
tho full benefit of the whirling member,
but placed the bulb somo dU'.ancc from tho
fan. Tho result was surprising, instead
of forcing tho fluid down, the temperature
began to rise. It roso several degrees. 1
soon figured tho problem out. Hcollv, tho
fan was not cooling tho office. Somo parts
of tho offlco might havo been cooler, but
taking the whole space of the office, tho
samo number of beat units might havo
beon found In tho room. The fan, In other
words, had not forced any of the heat out,
It had simply churned It up, so to speak.
"But nn Interesting thing had happened
and this accounted for the fact that the
bulb Indicated an Increaso In tho temper
nturo of the room. Tho fan had banked
the heat against tho thermometer, creatod
friction by Its rotary motion nnd a greater
number of beat units had been crowded
Into a given spaco and henco thero had
been a perceptible rise In the temperature.
Thero had been, of course, a proportionate
fall In tho temperature in other sections ot
the room. But I mado another experiment.
I put n huge block of lco in frdnt of the
fan, Just a few feet away. I left my ther
mometor hanging In tho samo placo. In a
short while tho fluid began to fall In the
bulb nnd under tho Intluenco of tho cold
wave that was swept from the' surface of
the lco the temperaturo fell four or five
degrees and It was not long In doing It,
cither. It cooled tho room and was one
of the most successful experiments I made
The force of the fan melted tho Ice very
rapidly. Tho hot air wns banked against
the Ice Just as It bad born banked against
tho thermometer In the first caso. Tho
concentration of heat units played havoa
with the Ice, but tho room was cooled
meanwhile."
