PROFITS FROM TRASH
PREVENT BANKRUPTCY.
llow Judlelons Disposal of Waste In
Factories Affects Business.
From the New York Herald.
Chicago, 111.—How to find a place and
price for the wastes of a great manu
facturing plant may make the differ
ence between .dividends and bankrupt
cy It is the tendency of the age to
save in small things and the man who
is not availing himself of the last
crumb of profit In his output is com
peting with men who have solved the
Jpatter on the right side of the ac
c°lU t '\g not so long ago that an idea for
the profitable disposition of a city’s
garbage would have been looked upon
as the vagary of a dreamer. To-day
this refuse gives employment to armies
of W nrkers. Bones, rags, glass, iron
and paper are sorted over and collected,
oid t;n cans are worked over for the
tin the solder from the Joints and
finally go to the blast furnace for melt
ing into pig iron.
in Glasgow are reduction plants for
the inflammable residue, which turn out
f,, r the city 9,000 horse power in a ten
hour day, this power going for manu
facturing.
In New York a process for reducing
garbage means first, steam digestion of
the matter, separating the greases from
the fertilizer elements. Nearly all the
greases are shipped abroad, where they
are made into glycerin, red oil, lard
oil, and inferior soap. The dried resi
due is sifted through screens, where
the bone, glass, iron and tin and like
matter are collected, leaving only the
fertilizer filler. This when cooled, is
bagged for shipment to the impover
ished cotton lands. Only the water
from which the grease is skimmed is
left, and when this has been evaporated
to the consistency of syrup it may be
mixed with the fertilizer matter to ad
vantage.
Some of the high priced perfumes in
the markets are made from the oils and
ethers extracted from flowers, but oth
ers of cheaper grade are produced from
other and even ill smelling substances.
Fusel oil is one of the disagreeable by
products of alcohol distillation, yet it
enters into many perfume oils. Oil of
pineapple is made from the action of
putrid cheese on sugar.
In the iron and steel industry noth
ing has been so.troublesome to dispose
of as the millions of tons of slag that
collect from the blast furnaces. But
from paving blocks to bricks for build
ings, and finally to a cement mixture,
and then to use as fertilizer the slag
piles of tlie blast furnaces have come
to have a value.
Germany has gone further with the
wastes of the furnaces, and has evolv
ed a process by which the gases from
the furnaces may be made to do serv
ice in running gas engines. In the
production of a ton of pig iron a profit
of $1.25 for this gas has been shown,
meaning for the German iron industry
an annual saving of $10,000,000 a year.
From the sawdust of the mills an
artificial wood has been made by a
combination of heat and hydraulic
pressure which promises an era of ar
tificial woods. It is harder, devoid of
grain, susceptible to a high polish and
in many ways approaches the qualities
of ebony and mahogany.
From the sawdust and mill scraps of
birohwood more than 30 per cent, of
the weight of the wood used has been
made into sugar. Two hundred and
twenty pounds of this wood have yield
ed eight quarts of alcohol. Pine and
fir sawdust are even more valuable
for alcohol, producing a greater quan
tity and a purer quality. Sawdust also
enters largely into the making of clay
and pottery products In the United
States.
Paper from the waste woods and
waste products of wood leads all else
in value of the products from lumber
residue. Once only the white woods
were regarded as of value for white
paper, but with the bleaching processes
of the present there is no limitation of
color. Trees of the pine family, how
ler, work up more economically,
from these papers paper box material
is made and chemical elements result
lng from the making of paper from
2,° u and are turned to aocount.
