TURN ANIMALS TO STONE Italian Chemist Kthlhits The Kffevt of Secret Dope l i Wcndrrlng New Yorkers. Agostlno Giuseppe Grosso, a chemist of Vercelll, Italy, now stopping at New York City, declares he has found a way to turn organic substances Into stone. Grosso ar rived liera on the steamer Re d' Italia, and wants to stay long enough to convince the clentlflo men of this country thut his dis covery Is practical. 1 The chemist has brought with Mm fv ral substances upon which he has tried his process, the basis of which Is a chem ical, the nature of which he holds a pro found secret. Grorso discovered It by the merest accident. Fourteen years ago, , while he whs In Peru, he had occasion to send a case of eggs to Ecuador. He had no way of refrigerating the consignment, and be gan experimenting with preservatives. He bored tiny holes In the eggs and tried In jecting various chemicals. Nona seemed to accomplish the work. In trying one power ful drug he Injected a small quantity Into several of the egs, and a few hours later found every one of them as hard as a rock. He tried to break tho shells, but could not make tha slightest dent. Grosso held tho eggs before a strong light, and was surprised to find that the jrolk and white of each one were as per fect as before petrification. Ha continued his experiments on beef and vegetables. Hie result was the same with each trial. No matter how soft the original substance. It was converted Into stone. The chemist went back to Vercelll, and, before a gathering of doctors at the Hos- A DISHING ITCHIHG ECZEMA Spread from Body to Face Sufferer Was Ashamed to Go Out Scales Formed and Her Skin Became Parched and Highly Discolored. WAS CURED BY CUTICURA AFTER YEAR OF TORTURE "I was suffering with ecsema for a rear and had tried all kinds of medical treatment but without any results.

Beetles, frogs, snakes and other things were put through the process, and after being petri fied retained their life-like appearance. In each Instancu the chemist Inoculated tha specimen with a small quantity nf tha mysterious drug by means of a hypo dermic syringe. Orosso was always care ful that the spectators should not see the chemical. Whenever he used it he went behind a screen, then brought the specimen out, and allowed the doctors to watch the process of petrification as It went on. Orosso says It takes about three hours. He has among his specimens here a chicken that was petrified, wings and all. This, he says, was done three years ago. The chicken looks aLtout as It would In the barnyard. Its eyes hava their original luster, and every detail Is perfect. "By my process," said Grosso, "I will be able to preservo animals exactly as they appear In life. It can petrify an ele phant as easily as a tiny bug. It Is all dona the same way, by the use of the chem ical and the hypodermlo syringe "I have made the experiment on human legs and arms, nnd the result has been perfect. While I have not tried to petrify any largo bodies, such as those of horses, or elephants, I do not think It would re quire more than five or six hours at the most. "tJpecimens treated by this process will lact forever. I It had been used In plao of tho embalming chemicals employed In preparing the mummies they would even now look JuBt as they did at the tlrr.j of death. There would be the same color as In life. ' My process requires no stuffing, such as Is now done In mounting birds and animals. "I huve lmmerscl small Insects In this chemical, and l.&ve also usod it n flowers and leaves. I have the specimens today, and they look perfectly natural. I believe tills process would bo of groat value to nat'ir.il history museums In purserving specimens." New York World. FRISCO'S NEW CHINATOWN Rebuilt In the Old Place After Earth quake ajid Fire of Last Yaar. Ban Francisco's new Chinatown Is ready for occupancy and is rapidly filling up with merchants and tradesmen, who were scattered to tha four winds by the terrible earthouake and fire of a year and a half ago. All movements looking toward the trans fer of the Chinese to a less desirable r irt of the city failed utterly, and tha new Chinatown has risen on the site of the old. under the shadow of Xob hill and touching shoulders with the financial district. There is a reason why Chinatown wan rebuilt before the other parts of the burned area, even before Market street had been rtpaved. The Chinese property owners had no trouble In getting ready cash. They did not try to borrow from Ban Francisco banks or even from New York, money lend ers. The first steamer to China carried long letters describing the situation. In closed were drafts on the treasurer of the company whloh backed the San Francisco firms. The return steamer brought the gold that was needed and the Chinese could tell their contractors to go ahead. The building department and the health authorities Insisted that the new Chinatown be built accordliv to law. This Included cement cellars and prohibited tho qurmua underground erlubllshments, to ' see which was ono of th-i principal features of a visit to Chinatown before the fire. The Chinese themselves decided that It was noc wise to erect high buildings, end that thrtts or four story buildings of brick or cement wero preferable to larger structures. The architects were asked to give the quarter a distinctive oast. They found many difficulties In the way of giving a building oriental features and istl!'. con forming to the building laws. The fire es capes offered some opportunity, 'ihey were elongated Into balconies of ornamental do sign. Deep rocesxes about the windows are filled with quaint screens or grilles. Curved cornices and tiled roofs are not prohibited In the new laws for "Class IV structures. Tho architects went even further and added pagoda-like towers to tho corner ' buildings. Thsy used copper tiling when j the Chinese owner would bear the expense, ! and by treating the tiles with acids got green and bi-o.vn effects. Some of the new butldlnrrs of concrete have been treated with stucco and staff, which permit high coloring. Chinatown will be In spots a blending of lavender, green and ecru, which seems giddy at first glance, but proves a harmonious combina tion. The new Chinatown has thrown out more dragon flags than the old ever possessed. Gay banners of red silk with gold lettering are hung In the street, and the window displays ara even more magnificent than they were before the fire. Tha new Chinatown has, of course, lost such plcturesqueness as was found In the dirt and the squalor and the tumbledown effect of the old buildings. To offset this, however, there will be a heavy ;aln In healthfulness. It will be years before Chinatown sells off all tha souvenirs of the that defied tho fire, and if tho stock of souvenirs runs short before the demand Is satisfied, the Mongolians know how to make more to order.

One of the serious propositions for the peo ple of Canada to solve Is tho fuel supply of the future. Not a pound of coal of any kind has ever been discovered In the prov ince of Ontario. In the older part of the province the timber Is practically ex hausted. The grotesque looking stump fences, the last remains of the once gi gantic pine forests, are now being renhteert with wire fences and the stumps converted Into fuel for the furnace and stove. HHrd coal Is it per cent higher than It was ten years ago, and the supply of recent years is not equal to the demand during part of the long winter. This condition of affairs has caused many experiments to be made In the lant decade to convert the Inexhaust ible peat bogs Into fuel for domestic use. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended In perfecting machinery to drsi and manufacture the crude bogs into brick for fuel. It is alleged that one firm in Mon treal alone lost Hso.t,) In trying to solve the dlifleult problem of manufacturing peat fuel. Chicago News. ' .
