Signature of
A Queer New Product.
Notice appears in London Invention of a
peculiar product, under the name as soap
stock, prepared in Brindisi, which is large
ly utilized on account of Its special proper
ties. It is prepared by. subjecting the resi
due of olive kernels to chemical processes
under the action of sulphuric acid, after all
means of extraction by pressure have been
exhausted. Os this substance it is stated
that during the year 1804 the quantity pro
duced amounted to about 1,200 tone the
medium market price for which ranged at
some 800 per ton. The article in question,
which is of little value as a lubricator, has
a ready sale among soap manufacturers,
and in yean when the oil crop has been
favorable considerable quantities have been
exported to this country, Great Britain and
northern Europe. This oil is locally
known as “olio sulfureo,” or sulphur oil,
from the method of its extraction. The
refuse remaining after the extraction is
nnd for fuel for steam boilers by miliars as

of Navy rights.
The lessons to be drawn from the Span
ish-American sea fights clear, sat
isfactory and conclusive. With the barely
possible exception of the sinking .of the
Merrimac, aS suggested by Lieutenant
Hobson, the torpedo has played no part in
the naval engagements, and of ramming
there has not been any. It was even so
at Yalu and throughout the war between
China and Japan. But are We satisfied
that if the conditions favored the use of
torpedoes or rams by the Americans they
would not have fairly realized some of the
great expectations concerning one or both
of these instruments of destruction?
“The torpedo boat destroyers founder
ed,” said the brave Spanish Admiral Car
vers in his report to General Blanco. Yes,
and the foundering was brought about by
the good practice of the gunners of the
Gloucester, a smart armed yacht. Cer
vertrs ships were faster than those of
Sampson, but they did not get away.
Thirteen inch guns can hurl many tons of
fehot and shell Into the enemy before the
advantage In speed of a few knots an hour
will avail for the emergency.
The effect of armament on armor is not
yet accurately ascertained. Several points
have, however, been made clear by the
naval engagements—viz, (1) that modern
sheila readily set fire to the woodwork of
warships, and that therefore wood must
be avoided or made fireproof; (2) that
speed is relatively more Important from
strategical than from fighting considera
tions; (8) that in fair fight superiority in
marksmanship and quick firing means
victory, and (4) that the Americans can
do that which they claim—“shoot straight
and obey orders.” —London Shipping
World.
It Gave Him the Bends.
Notwithstanding the danger, there are
always plenty of men to be had at the wa
terworks tunnel. It isn’t so easy, how
ever, to keep them at work. They are apt
to tire of it very soon, and all sorts of
reasons are given for quitting.
Not long ago a stout colored man ap
plied to the contractors for a job. He was
a well built, Intelligent looking fellow,
and the foreman at once engaged him.
He was given charge of a mule and started
in on his duties. Not until the third day
did he show any objection to the work.
Then he came into the foreman’s room.
“Boss,” he said, “I gotter quit dis job.’’
“What’s wrong?”
' ] “Well, boss, it’s dat mule. I never see
<no such a cantankerous mule as dat ar’
One.”
“What’s the matter with the mule?”
“Mattah wid it? Well, if dat ain’t de
wickedest mule dat ever walked on two
legs den I don’t know. Dat’s an awdacious
mule. Good Lor’, boss, dat mule has dorfe
kick me in every part of my physogomy.
Dat’s right, an I ain’t goin to take no
more of it.”
“Did the mule kick you?”
“Did de mule kick me?”
The colored man echoed the foreman’s
words in a tone expressive of the most
Withering sarcasm. Then he placed his
hands across the pit of his stomach and
stooped forward.
“Say, boss,” he cried, with painful in
tensity, “dat dlngblasted mule done kick
me so hard right heah dat he give me de
’bends’ fob shush I”
Then the foreman paid him off and let
him go.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
