THE DIVINING ROD. metimes It Proves Successful in Water Searches and Sometimes Not. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The pros and cons of the theory of the divining rod are again being discussed in the English newspapers. The superintend- ent of a fire brigade testifies to a case with- in his experience in which a water finder was commissioned to operate on an estate of the existence of which he was previously ignorant. He got to work, soon found the presence of water, and, fixing upon the nearest and most conveniently placed spring, gave the probable depth at which water would be discovered in sufficient quantities as 75 feet. At 70 feet the water came in, and at 77 feet operations had to be stopped, as the flow became too heavy. Some of the tools had to be left in the well, as there was not time to remove them all. The well supplied the cattle, horses and pigs of the farm on which it was bored through the dry summer of 1896, never fail- ing in its flow. Twelve months after a sec- ond well was sunk, barely a stone's throw from the first. The water finder was asked if one stream would affect the other, as they were so near. He repited: “No, they are two distinctly different in different directions.” well was as successful as the first. cerrespondent regards the power to find water as the result of a force, magnetic or otherwise, over which the finder has no con- trol and which he is unable to explain. He also says that the operation of finding wa- ter produces a marked degree of nervous fa- tigue in the operator. On the other hand, the discomfiture is announced of a profes- sional water finder who made a tour in the Island of Jamaica, where in the dry season water is a precious boon. He traveled through the island, rod in hand, but met with little success. At one village in the Santa Cruz mountains he pegged out part of the course of a subterranean stream, and then retired to lunch at a neighboring ho- tei. In his absence some wags removed his pegs and lined out a totally different course. On his return the diviner took up the new direction and continued {it for 100 yards, not discovering his mistake until it was pointed out to him. At one point where he predicted water at a depth of 40 feet there was no sign of it when 150 feet had been bored, and after going down 200 feet the borer Couid not be extracted. The same re- sult occurred in many other places, and finally the diviner left the island abruptly. People are now asking who is responsible for the money paid to him. ——— ++ —___ UTILIZING WASTE. Sawdust and Shavings, Once Thrown Away, Are Very Useful. From the New York Times. Not very many years ago both sawdust and shavings were esteemed a disagreeable waste, and were shunted as quickly as possible into seme handy river or stream, or durned in heaps on waste ground. Nowadays there bye-products of sawing and planing mills have become a cen- siderabie source of revenue to the latter. Sawdust was the first to creep into general use. Its availability for the packing and preservation of ice in icehouses has long been pubiic Knowiedge. Butchers’ shops, saloons, and |-whlic waiting rooms of all descriptions buy sawdust in quantity for use in swecpirg, as an absorbent of mois- ture or dirt of every kind. As machinery became cheaper and com- petition in business necessitated economies in every department, machines were con- structed for compressing sawdust, mixed with glue end like material, to make the » mass as dense and compact as Briquettes are made of sawdust and pitch or coal tar for kindling fires. An especial quantity of light, porous build- ing brick is prepared by subjecting clay, cement and sawdust to hydraulic pressure. dust from the hard woods y is reserved in separate sale to these who compress it in- to boards for use in the veneering of cheap furniture, or mold it under pressure into imitation carving for modern picture frames. Sawdust is purchased in quantity for the filtration of crude sugar liquors in the factories of the sugar trust. Asphalt works utilize sawdust in their factories. Its serviceability for the packing of bottles and glassware of all kinds {s familiar to all. So universal is the use of sawdust that it is now graded and sold according to its porosity, the coarser grades usually commanding the better prices. Large quantities of sawdust are used an- nually for admixture with artificial hyd- rexide of iron for the purification of tlum- inating gas. There ts, of course, no chem- ical affinity between sawdust and impure gas, but in order that the gas may readily be forced through the purifying mixture. a porous substance must be mingled with the heavy powdered oxide of iron, and sawdust or shavings are utilized because ae are comparatively cheap and plenti- ‘ul. When it is necessary to fill the space be- tween the outer and inner walls of houses and other buildings to render them‘ par- tially if not wholly fireproof, sawdust is pounded into these spaces by rammers, thus cutting off all draughts and circula- tion of air. Buildings protected in this fashion are warmer in winter and cooler in summer than those less fortundtely con- structed, for sawdust is a non-conductor of heat. Many men gain their entire means of ex- istence by the sale of sawdust. One firm in Brooklyn devotes its energies solely to the purchase of this bye-product on yearly con- tract. with planing mills, agreeing to buy all they produce. This firm then sells it wholesale or retail to smaller dealers, or directly to the consumer. Some idea of the magnitude of their business may be gained from the estimate that their annual output of sawdust if spread out on Broad- way, New York, to the depth of one foot, would cover that thoroughfare from curb to curb from the Battery to 34ty street. Somewhat later than the sawdust Indus- try tcok its rise shavings eame to be util- ized. These shavings are not the long curis and ribbons of the smailer carpenter shops, but short chips, about an inch square, and are largely produced by box factories and planing mills where dressed lumber is “prepared. Shavings are sold in bulk by ‘the wagon- load, in bags, and in large quantity in bales. Baling is accomplished by pressing the shavings into compact form in a press similar to that used in baling hay. These bales are protected on the sides and ends from breakage by laying strips of waste le@mber beneath the girdling wires. The shavings industry finds its largest custcmer in the livery and stabling busi- ness, where it is used’ as ing for horses. In our large cities it may be had cheaper than straw, and it Is generally more economical, for the bed requires re- newing less frequently. If it were more generally known by farmers that the manure made by decomposed con-. tains more fertilizing p. than straw manure, they would be economize both in cattle bedding and fer- tilizers. Straw, on account of its surface and lack of Producers of shavings count on them for their entire boiler fuel nowadays. The medern planing mill all of the shavings, directly they are made, through a huge pipe and a suction below into a storage bin, whence they are drawn, as re- quired, Ly other blowers, and forced upon the hearths below the boilers, thus pensing with hand labor entirely; _ a costs little or nothing in @ THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1898-16 PAGES. They Have Been Only Partially De- veloped Under Spain. United States Will Gain Much by Unrestricted Trade. SPANISH OFFICIAL GREED Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, May 4, 1898. Few Americans realize the importance of the Island of Cuba and the beneficial re- sults which would follow the establishment of a free government there and the open- ing up of her ports to unrestricted trade with the United States. H. B. Fullerton of this city, who has traveled extensively on the island and has made a study of its resources, says of its exceptional advantages: ms “IT have spent twelve years among the Spanish-American people of Cuba and Mexico, and I say unreservedly that, speak- ing from a distinctly commercial point of view, a victory for the United States in the present war and the consequent open- ing up of Cuban ports to unrestricted trade and commerce will be one of the greatest things ever accomplished by the American people. The profit upon our business with Cuba for a few months following the ces- sation of hostilities will fully repay all the money spent in the war. When the gra! deur of the idea of freeing the downtrod- den, oppressed island dawns upon Europe, he continued, “several of those nations will regret not having demanded the political emancipation of the island long ago, and thus secured to themselves the tremendous business which will come from Cuba to the United States. The wealth and resources of the tsland have been 2nd still are great- ly underestimated. “I have been all over the country on horseback, and I tell you that not one-halt of Cuba is under cultivation. Her crops can easily be trebled. Even her farming methods are not yet modernized. The sale of modern farm machinery in Cuba, once peace is declared, will be enormous. If Cuba was not a perfect garden she would not have progressed as she has under the Spanish rule. In that respect she is an ex- ception. People do not generally under- stand to what extent the Spanish have tyr- annized over that beautiful island. Have Been Taxed to Death. “Cubans have been taxed to death, and the worst of it is that the money thus col- lected has not been expended for the bene- fit of the people there, but went to the home government—at least what remained of it after the local officials had extracted thelr stealings. “The custom house at Havana has long been one of the worst pest holes in the world. Bribery of the port officials has been a common thing for years. For in- stance, there is no duty on corn, but there is a high tax upon flour. According to the rules, every tenth barrel must be opened and inspected. A deal will be made with the collector whereby a cargo of flour will be admitted for small payment, which goes into the pockets of the officials. The cargo will be labeled corn, and every tenth bar- rel is filled with that article and given a distinguishing mark. Thus it is passed through the hands of the collector—nine out of every ten barrels containing flour. Many thousands of barrels of flour have also been shipped to Havana covered with a cargo of coal. Cheese is sent down in the center of a barrel of potatoes, and jewelry is, often stored in a case of wooden ware. Every branch of the government is noto- riously corrupt. “In intvoducing goods these officials -had4- to be bought up all along the line from'the highest to the !owest. If the Spaniards saw that you were getting a foothold and sell- ing considerable quantities of goods they immediately arranged for a special tax to cover your line. Thus all progressive move- ments were throttled. Notwithstanding all these drawbacks the United States has been constantly increasing her trade with Cuba for fifteen years and millions of dol- lars have be2a invested there. Modern methods have thus been introduced to some extent. Many of the natives still care for the sugar in the old-fashioned way. Saving Effected by Machinery. “While Cuba had the best seed tobacco in the world, they allowed vast quantities to go to waste. We introduced drying sheds which saved all that was formerly wasted. The introduction of machinery effected a saving of 20 per cent in caring for sugar cane. These and other reforms and changes were being slowly accomplished under Spanish rule, and the strides made under an improved’ government will, in my opin- jon, astonish the world. Take Mexico, for example. Our business men commenced trading with that country fifteen years ago. She was then using English and Ger- tnan machinery on a small seale. Our ma- chines were lighter and did the work as well. We soon got the trade. At that time Mexico did not manufacture goods of any kind. Now she has the finest cotte: and paper mills in the worid and is making wonderful strides in civilization and ad- vancement. Just as soon as she broke the Spanish yoke the improvement commenced and has continued ever since. In Cuba a Spanish land-owner is content so long as his plantation earns him a sufficient in- come to allow his living in splendor in Madrid or Paris. He does not care for im- provements or machinery. There is no go- aheaditiveness about the Spaniard. He is a royal entertainer, but dishonest in his bus!- ness dealings, not sparing his own brother in matters of money and business. Span- jards have no idea of machinery. There are no engineers and few mechanics among them. Fever Confined to Havana. “The yellow fever was exported from the gulf states to Cuba, and it is confined al- most exclusively to Havana. It could: be easily stamped out by the establishment of sanitary regulations and the cutting of a canal from the harbor to the ocean. The Spanish government made an appropriation for this work, but it was stolen by cor- Trupt officials and the work was never be- gun. Cuba's climate is naturally healthy, and the observance of sanitary rules will make it free from contagious disease like yellow fever. “Leave Gomez alone and he will take Havana unassisted. All he needs is am- munition and provisions. He ie a grand eld man. For fifty years he has been struggling for Cuban independence, incit- ing the people to insurrection and leading them against the common foe. He is oue ce Ee eee ones in the world today, and the people of this country do not appre- clate his sterling patriotism. With a hand- ful of men he has held the h army at bay for months, protecting the thou- sands of his men, who, lacking weapons, have been wielding agricultural implements to raise edibles for the army. i “One of the most striking things in any country which Spain has dominated at one time or another is the fact that the le, ro matter from what race they spring, consider themselves superior to and will rot associate with the §; . Even though they are descended from. Spanish blood they despise the race and are ever ly to combine for the overthrow of t Spaniard and Spanish rule.” ~ —_.—__ IMPROVED STEERING QUALITIES, AfRemarkable Guin Secured in the Japanese Battle Ship Yashima. From the New York Tribune. A paper of much interest was presented to th> Institution of Naval Arcpitects in London last month.
