TIts application to the matur- ing of wines, spirits, tobacco and coifee, to bleaching, and to a great number of elec- trotherapeuntic conditions is already a fa- miliar story, but a new use has now been | found for it in maturing of the sound- ing boards of pianos. The value of the pianos of the most eminent makers is preatly dependent on the employment throughout the instrument of well-matured wood, and the sounding board especiaily must be of wood so ripe and well seasoned that its lasting qualities can be assured. It ot surprising, therefore, that a large portion of the capital of the great piano nufacturers is swallowed up in the maintenance of extensive timber-yards, in which their stock of wood has to be allowed to reach the desired age and condition. It is said that ozone will produce on wood in a short time all the changes which it is usuai to rely on age to accomplish, and piano manufactur- ers have taken up the matterin the hope of being able to greatly curtail a serious item of t anding expenses. In lino- | leum facto here the thickening d o0il was brought about by allow- ing it to trickle over strips of gauze for several months, the use of ozonc now effects the purpose in a few days. In an- other new process ozone converts crude potato starch into the soluble variety (a very important operation to the distiller), as well as into dextrine and other gummy substances. Dr. Frohlich, the German scientist, believes he is on the verge of an- other triumph for electricity in the produc- tion of nitric acid from the air by means of ozone. Ax Errcrric-LauNce FERRY SERVICE.— An employment of the electric launch that is sure to be widely followed has been made in Norway. and sea commerce, ranges on two sides of a narrow harbor forming an inlet and sur- rounded by rapidly rising ground. Rapid transit from one side of the harbor to the other became imperative, and a line of electric ferry-boats has been established. As the harbor is very narrow—only about 330 yards—it was found desirable to con- duct the boats so that they could operate without turning about to go from one sta- tion to the other. They are consequently made double-ended, with two screws, one at each end, both connected directly to the motor-shaft. The motor weighs 660 oundsand is of three-borsepower capacity. ¥hirty»two cells of storage-battery weigh- ing 5280 pounds are placed in each boat. The speed of the boat is seven feet six inches per second—quite enough for thread- ing safely the crowded shipping of the harbor. Each boat covers thirty-seven miles daily, and the average number of sassengers carried since the boats have een in service has been 1800 per dsg. The cost of the fleet of eight boats was §16,000, and of the charging station $12,800. Ax Erecrric Sorvrios.—The Philadel- phians are greatly exercised over the big statue of William Penn, which surmounts the tower of their fine City Hall. Asthe figure now stands it faces the old Penn Treaty Park, the point at which Penn landed, and the right arm is extended in that direction. From the entire southern section of the city only the back of the statue is visible, while from the extreme east and west only a profile view of Penn’s features can be obtained. A local en- gineer has conceived the novel idea that the way to please everybody would be to The city of Bergen, ! which is the center of the Norwegian land | | Counci execution. The statue is to be removed from iis fastenings on a permanent plane and boited to a revolving plane, so that it will ‘t\ven_t,v-four hours. The power is to be | supplied by a central shaft, driven by | electrical machinery. The revolution of | the statue will be 'so slow that its move- {mem will not be perceptible. It is also Eroposed to place permanent marks on the ase of the north, east, south and we | peints, and on the revolving base, to indi- cate the time of day. These marks are to | represent 12 o’clock midnight, 9 A. M., 3 and 6 p. a. For the further convenience of the public it is contemplated to illumi- | nate the statue at night by electric light, s0 that the time of day may be discerne: at all times. Ax EFFECTIVE GUARD WIRE. | Fell is a militiaman who lives within a block of the terminus of a New Jersey trolley road. The quiet of his Sunday | morning was constantly disturbed by a | crowd of excursionists, who waited for the | cars by the fence at the corner of his lawn. | They would sit on the fence sometimes | fifty in a row until the structure would | threaten to collapse, and the intrusion be- came a source of cxtreme annoyance to the gallant captain. As a protection he ran a | strong guard wire along the whole length | of the fence, relying, however, not so much upoen its strength as upon its unattractive- ness for reating purposes for immuuity | from further intrusion. Butthe loungers { seemed as comfortable on the wire as they had been on the fence, and they sat there just the same. Caprain Fell is something of an electrician, and noticing one day that | 2 heavy wire that held up a trolley pole | outside the lawn had become charged with electricity, he thought it might be turned to good account, especially as it passed toa | tree within a yard of his fence. Fastening | a conductor to the trolley-pole wire, he ad- justed a switch by means of which he | could turn the current into his guard wire | and arranged to work the switch from his { parlor. With the next Sunday morning came a crowd of picnickers, and thirteen of them were soon installed on their fav- | orite perch, some seated and others lean- | ing back on the wire with their feet on the | ground. Captain Fell turned on the i | switch and there was a loud yelling and a | general sprawling on the grass. The ex- | cursionists threatened to mob the house, and there was much heated debate, the sequel to which isto be heard in the Jer- | sey courts. | Avromatic DEVICE ForR CLosING -AIm- | Treur CompARTMENTS.—It will be remem- | bered that the cause of the disaster to the | British battle-ship Victoria was the failure to secure the speedy closing of the air- tight compartments from which the flood of water should have been excluded. The sad lesson has not been lost and the nayal authorities at Washington are now testing | & device to be worked by electricity, by means of which the officer of the deck or | the man in the conning tower of the vessel can close every door instantaneously by pulling a lever in case of threatened rami- ming or coilision. The sounding of a whistle or a bell for a speciied number of seconds warns the men below to escape to the deck or get out of the way of the doors. The Still Estate. William Webb, as administrator of the es- tate of Grace U. Webb, has sued John H. Still as administrator of the estate of Alden P. Still. l}s’(rg :li'lebb. as executrix of the estate of Alden . Still, was awarded a family allowan f $100 a month, of which she ciaimed Slf,efl;,o remains unpaid, together with $145 dueon commissions and §; 3 disbursements in ¢ excess of receipts in her execution of her trust. She died while in office and the administration of her estate is suing the new executor of the Still estate for an accounting of these various sums. —_—————— Two Youths Sentenced.

Searles to Grace Church, corner of Stockton and California, San Fran- cisco, is considerably over $20,000. The organ is placed in the north chancel aisle, one tront facing the transept, the other the chancel, oc- cupying & floor space of 17x28 feet, with key desk and choir gallery in the transept, ¢levated three feet from the auditorium floor. The or- gan chamber has a height of thirty-five feet. The case, of pure Gothic order, from design of Henry Vaughan of Boston, is of quartered oak, dark finish, exceeding rich in detail, with dis- played pipes of burnished proof tin,102 in number. The key desk is of improved con- struction. A system is introduced by which the registers most used are placed nearest the performer. The pneumatic motor is applied to the great and its couplers and to the lower oc- tave of the swell, choir and pedal or- gans. The register action is tubular pneu- matic. There are three wind reservoirs, ag- gregate capacity 135 square feet. All the manual chests are on & level, insuring equal temperature. The swell box is 12x12 feet 6 inches and 10 feet high with double louvers. A separate box with adjustable front is located in the rear, within, for the Vox Humana, The organ is blown by a_ powerful hydraulic _engine, operating duplex feeders underneath, throwing fifty cubic feet of com- pressed air drawn from the interior of the or- gan exclusively, at each movement of its piston. There are two distinct systems of combination movement—by pistons under their manual, affecting the drawstops, throw- ing on the combination and taking off ail others, and by the usual double acting pedals not affecting them, making in all twen- ty-four fixed combinations, each different from e other. These systems can be used jointly or severally, the changes made with the great- est 8] and ease. the stops are full compass of the key- The reed 16-foot octaves are full The pitch is 4354 as notes, stopsand %ig:s as fol- lows: Great, 61 notes, 12 stops, pipe swell, 61 notes, 16 stops. 1159 iTel: choir 61 notes, 11 stops, 671 pipes, pedal, 30 notes, 8 stops, 240 pipes; mechanical registers. 10 stops: total number of stops ipes 2024.

A vessel en- tering the bay of San Francisco has to pay the following port charges: Survey $3, entry $2, certificate 20 cents, and general order 20 cents. There isa tonnage tax on vessels ar- riving in the United States from any foreign port in North America, north of the southern part of the Isthmus of Darien, or any port in Newfoundiand, the West Indies or the Sand- wich Islands. The tax is3 cents per ton for every entry, but the total tax shall not exceed 15 cents per ton in any one year. The tax on | ton, but the 1otal tax shall notexceed 30 cents | vessels not used for carrying freight or pas- & ton in any one year. Allocean vessels, steam | or sail, and all vessels navigating the bay of San Francisco, and the rivers and other waters | flowing into it, of 200 met registered tons or under, are_charged 2 cents per ton dockage, and for vessels of over 200 net regis- tered tons, the dockage tax 1s $4 for the first 200 tons, and three-quarters of & cent for ench additional ton. The tax on s 1500- ton vessel would be $13 75 per day. Vessels Jhile taking in cargo, o Teceiving or disclarg- ing ballast, or lying idle, or occupying outside berths, or moored to docks, slips, basins or canals, are subject toonly half rate of dockage; | sengers are mot entitled to half rates. Dock- age commences upon & vessel when she makes fast to the wharf or comes within a_dock, slip, Lasin or canal, and each twenty-four hours thereafter, or part thereof, constitutes a day’s dockage. There is no charge against vessels at anchor in the stream. THE X. Y. Z. TrEATY—). 8. G., City. In 1797 Marshall, Pinckney and Gerry were sent from the United States to France to treat with Tal- leyrand with a view to endeavor to restore har- mony, & good understanding end friendly in- tercourse between the two republics. They had great difficulty in the matter, being denied a personal interview with Talleyrand. They were, however, met by three of Talleyrand’s special agents, Huttinger, Bellamy and Haut- | val. In dispatches to the United States the | American Commissioners _designated the | agents of the French Government respectively | s X. Y. and Z., hence the name. The special | agents suggested that the. Americans propose to Talleyrand the loan of & large sum of money by the United States, or that the latter Govern- ment accept the assignment from France of an extorted Dutch loan, and thatone of the envoys return to the United States to arrange matters. The Commissioners indignantly rejected the proposals end the commission broke up in 1798 without having accomplished anything definite. The envoys' report of their negotia- tions aroused+intense feeling in the United States against France. EqQuaL Rieu1s—F. G., Cloverdale, Sonoma County, Cal. Those women who are battling for equal rights want the same rights inlaw extended to them that are extended to men. They want the ballot and equal rights before the law in order that they may be protected in legal proceedings and obiain equal justice. “Take, for instance,” said an equal rights woman, “this case: A woman dies,and the husband by law is allowed to take all the property she may have left, without any ad- ministration. Ii the husband dies and leaves property the widow is forced to go through ull the red tape of court proceedings and ex- penses that oiten eat up half of the estate in order to get possession of that which belongs to her. That shows the inequality of our laws.” The women assert that ff given the ballot thely will right all the Wrongs now com- plained of. VOTING IN A Socrery—V., City. There is nothing in the “State or municipal constitu- tion” to regulate parliamentary proceedings in benevolent societies. If you have no provi- sion in the constitution or by-laws of the so- ciety to which you belong in regard to the manner of voting on any business that comes up before the society, you had better move to have such a provision x}merted for it will save a great deal of vexatious discussion. The president of the society would in the absence of such a provision have to use his best judg- ment as to whether he would aliow & ballot- box to be used in which to- deposit ballots, but if the majority of the members should by a vote declare that such a box be used the presiding officer would have to respect the wish. PLACARDS ON FENCE—A. L. B. B., City. The putting up, aflixing, printing or painting upon any property belonging to the State, or to any city, city or county, town or village, or upon any property of any person Wwithout license from the owner, any notice, advertisement, designation of, or any name for any comme- dity, whether for sale or otherwise, or any picture, sign or device intended to call atten- tion thereto, is a misdemeanor, and in view of the law given, the principsl of & school would have the right to tear off & placard that had been nailed to the school fence, whether the placard was objectionable or not. If the placard was nuiied to the fence of a private s¢hool the principal would have the right to Temove it unless it was nailed there with the consent of the owner of the fence. JAY’S TREATY—J. 8. G., City. Whatis known as “jay’s Treaty” was concluded in 1794 by John Jay, representing the United States, and Lord Grenville, representing Great Britain. The treaty provided for peace and friendship between the two countries and the ;nbcn;uon of the Britis United States by June, 1796; iree cgm"::etr‘e?l‘\h :nfl Indian intercourse on the Americau continent; unrestricted navi- mon of the Mississippi River; indemnity by land to American citizens for recent un- | write to either the Con, lawiul captures; corresponding indemnity certain captures in 1793 by privateers it out in American ports, and a limited trade between the United States and the British | West Indies, by which the carrying trade of the ‘was not & popular one in the United States.

W., Table Bluff, Humboldt County, Cal. There is no general law that prohibits a person from brewing ale for his own use, but if he brews it to sell he is required to take out & United States Internal Revenue license, which 1is $100 per year, unless the amount brewed is less than 500 barrels, then the license is but #50. Such license is obtained from the office of Internal Revenue. There may be iocal ordi- nances that impose a license fax on brewers. The reason that ale similar to that brewed in England is not brewed in the United States is probably that given bi the Englishman, “Be- cause you ’avent got the ’'ops.” Whether cer- tain water would be good to be used in the manufecture of ale could only be determined by an alemaker after a trial.
