IMPORTANT INVENTION
IN MOULDING PROCESS
Timothy Holland, of New York City,
Who Is Interested In the Carbon
dale Metal Working Company. Has
an Invention That Promises to
Revolutionize Moulding1 Success
fully Tested at the New Foundry.
What the Invention Is.
A process, which Ik declared by ex
perts to bo the greatest advance made
In the Iron moulding Industry In yearn,
was brought lo ii successful point in
(.'urboudale tills wetk, at the plant of
the Carbondale Metal Working com
pany, thtt city's new Interest.
The process in the Invention of Tim
othy Holland, of New York city, one of
the most conspicuous figures in the
iron moulding Industry, of this coun
try, for the hist quarter of a century.
Sir. Holland Is temporarily residing In
4'arbondale, by reason of the interest
lie holds In the CnrbondnlH Metal
Working company.
Mr. Holland's idea Is a mixture, or
combination, of combustible chemicals,
which is poured In solution over the
sand that Is used in moulding', for the
purpose of overcoming' the bus hydro
Ken gas that of necessity forms when
the molten metal comes in contact with
the moist clay of the bed of the pat
tern that is in the mould. Any person,
who has visited u foundry and ob
served, even casually, the work of oast-iiij-
a mould, will remember how the
moulding box (Hied with gas so soon as
the hot metal was run Into it. He will
also recall that he heard a miniature
'xploainu and saw the aas shoot out In
Hinall (lames through the escape holes
in the moulding box. These holes, he
will remember, as being lold, were
there for that identical purpose of per
mitting an escape of gas, otherwise
there would be an explosion of such
force as to ceml the moulding box, or
llask, (lying about the shop. Xow, Mr.
Holland's process prevents the forma
tion of these gases. It Is mixed over
the core sand in sufficient Mttuii titles
that every grain is moist with the solu
tion. As the solution Is made up of
chemicals that are combustible, the hot
liictnl, when it comes in contact with
the sand, has something upon which to
Oed itself. The solution-treated sand
serves as fuel, as it were, and Instead
of the hot iron being cooled by ming
ling with water-soaked sand, ll Is
rather Increased In temperature. This,
of Itself, Is an important consideration,
for the hotter the metal, usually, the
('OIiDEX BK0WX.
The Color Sought in Coffee,
When a person has been shown that
a change of food or drink can make
and keep one well It Is a thing not like
ly to bo forgotten.
Coffee Is a "killer" for many people.
sinu. ot course, when left off, the user
will probably regain a degree or health
without any outside 'help, but when
Postum Pood correct Is used the return
to health Is much more rapid, for Pos
tum Is a distinct and well defined
health builder with a delicious coffee
ilavor and a beautiful deep brown color
that chaimes to golden brown when
i-mini Is mldcd,
,V Chicago man, l'eter G, Hoist, at
SIS Knglewood avenue, writes, "Head
ing In the paper the other day some
thing about Postum Cereal, It awoke
in me a reminiscent vein,
About live years ago, when I was a
miserable dyspeptic, I first heard of
Postum Cereal Coffee and put it to a
careful test,
I had been alllluted, for years, with
chronic dyspepsia and all the medicines
1 had tried wore in vain. One by one
rimer lo leave them off and was In des
pair as to what I should do for relief.
;My first taste of Postum was about
ttjn o'clock one morning. I did not
tfaro to ic'.co cream with it ror 1 knew
what tlio result would bo with my
stomach, That Is, 1 thought I did. I
have ulneo learned Unit oreum can be
taken In Postum even by bad dyspep
tics, but 1 had my (list tasto with only
hot water in It and it littlo sugur. The
second cup followed tho (list and a
third followed the second. I took my
depart'uro munching some of the drv
sxnlna or Postum as I wan determined
to Investigate Its effects thoroughly.
. That day I had no dinner and oxper-(t-nced
no distressing sensations, on
tho contrary felt.au though my appetite
had been appeased,
Tho next day 1 began to use Postum
regularly and before the (list package
badbeeji entirely used I discovered the
most encouraging symptoms. TJie dys
pepsia and headaches which I hud been
subject to dally, entirely disappeared,
also the distressing vomiting spells.
Tho bowels Improved steadily ami reg
ularly, I ate cautiously but was sustained by
the Poatum Coffee. After the (list
package I tried It with milk, tlien with
cream, without experiencing the least
Jnconventence. Of course l was de
lighted and the future looked bright.
From that first experlenco up to dute
jny health has been aplendld. I have
Increased In weight from 159 to 187
pounds, and; can digest anything I de
ulre. I can say honestly and cheerfully
that I would recommend Postum to
uny ono suffering tho tortures of dys-nepsla."
CaboncfaJe
hotter the results. At tho same Mine
there is no chance for tho troublesome
nnd orttlmcft ilntineruun gases to cre
ate. The chemical mixture In the sand,
wholly eliminates this possibility,
It wilt be seen from this description
of the action of the process that the
advantages are twofold. The annoy
ance and danger of hydrogen gu,
formed by the present process of pour
ing the metal over moistened sand, Is
effcclually removed; and the lhiuld
Iron, instead of being cooled, Is kept tit
practically the same toihpcrature ut
which It is taken from tho cupola. The
effect In the latter Instance Is to in
crease the efficiency of the product
that Is being moulded, the higher the
tempcruturo of the Iron,- as 11 rule, the
better and tho greater the value of the
finished product. This means an Im
mense economy In the making of cast
iron products, amounting, perhaps, to
a saving of IS pur cent) lu the manu
facture. In 11 plant whero the total
product for a year would bo $100,000,
the saving would be Jlfi.OOO, with the
use of Mr. Holland's process.
Another change, and advantage, fol
lowing the use of the new process, Is
In the manner lu which Uiu mould Is
sol. tt will be Inverted so as to econo
mize materially In Iron, as It can be
run In a more fluid consistency.
At the trlul of the process this week,
Its success was established, amid the
rejoicing 0 Mr. Holland and ills asso
ciates, while the workmen at the foun
dry marveled that a casting could be
made free ot gas. It was done, how
ever, and instead, only a light blue
(lame Issued from Hie holes of the
moulding box.
Mr. Holland has had the Idea lu mind
for four or live years, but It was not
until the last month that he carried on
experiments to any extent. The pre
liminary tests were satisfactory, anil
when the successful trial was made at
the Metal Working company's plant,
his most sanguine expectations were
realized. 1
When Mr. Holland's rights are fully
protected by law, he will plan for the
introduction of the process to the
moulding Industry of the country.
Those who appreciate Its value predict
Its ready acceptance by the big con
cerns of the country, as It Is a feature
that It has been sought to bring about
for years, but with no success.
The process will be put in use lu the
(.'arbondale Metal Working company's
foundry, and will be a big factor In the
economy of the institution.
As an illustration of how its proposed
use lias already appreciated the stock
of the metal working company, It
might be mentioned that an iron ex
pert, who witnessed the test, eagerly
sought to purchase some of the stock,
so Impressed was he that it would ma
terially increase the earnings of the
plant. It might be added that there
was no stock for him to obtain, as it Is
all jealously held by the Incorporators,
who have unbounded faith In the future
of the company.
BUSINESS CHANGES.
The Most Important Will Be a New
Dry Goods Store In the Keystone
Block Other Changes.
There will be several important busi
ness changes this spring, but the most
interesting will be the opening of a
new dry goods store in the Keystone
block, now occupied as a millinery
store by Miss Annie Duffy.
The proprietor will be one of the men
now holding a responsible position In
one of the leading dry goods stores of
the city. The arrangements lor the
opening of the store are now under
way. This announcement will create a
good dual ot interest in mercantile cir
cles, throughout the city.
Another change that is being dis
cussed Is the transfer of the restaurant
now conducted by Tony Letts on Salem
avenue to John Brown, who Is now as
sociated with his brother, Frank P.
Brown, in his cafe on North Main
street Mr. Letts has not announced
what business he will follow,
Miss Duffy, whose store will be oc
cupied by the new dry goods house,
will probably seek a location on the
upper floor of the sumo building. "
John Devlne, the West Side mer
chant, is preparing to move Into his
line new store, near the corner of Scott
street and Woodlawn avenue. 1
IDLE MINE RESUMES.
Several Hundred Men on Full Time
in No. 1 Mine.
There was a cheerful feeling In every
quarter ot the city yesterday, when It
was known that tho miners of No. 1
went back to their places, after an Idle
ness of about three months, due to the
destruction of the breaker by fire, The
tone ot cheerfulness was added to by
the circumstance that the mine, as weil
us the others in the city, are to work
full time. Following tho long period of
idleness and the general depression felt
since tho winter months set In, there
was good cause for Jubilating.
The new breaker, the completion of
which permitted the men to return fy
work, Is unlike the one that was tin.
stroyed. The old ono prepared certain
sizes of coal for market, with the ex
ception of tho elimination of slate, but
the present affair Is not more than a
sorlei of chutes, into which the coal Is
dumped and screened. Tho lump coal,
together with the smaller sizes, is
afterward convoyed to ihn Coalbrook
breaker, where It Is made ready for
market.

NO CRYSTAL LAKE LINE.
Another Idle Rumor Is Given Its
Quietus.
There has been considerable gossip
about town this week, about a revival
of the plan lo bring beautiful Crystal
lake nearer to Carbondale by con
structing a trolley line to the shores ot
this pretty lake.
Gossip placed the name of John W.
Aitken, of this city, as the foremost
man In the resurrection of the defunct
project. Mr. Aitken, however, told The
Tribune man yesterday that he was
not tiwnre of any new effort to awaken
the project. He said, further, that the
matter would likely sleep, so long as
the attitude ot so many property own
ers along the proposed route remained
the same as when options wore sought
a few years ago. Then, as now, they
wanted, and demanded, what were con
sidered exorbitant prices for their land.
Unless the exaggerated ideas of land
values held by theso persons could be
changed, there need be little hope of an
early, If any, trolley road to the lake.
Once more, an revolr, Crystal hike
trolley line.
THE MONEY FOUND.

Girl's Money, Confesses.
The money which was stolen fioin

SMOTHER A COUGH.
You can smother a cough
with your hand but you can't
cure it that way. Some medi
cines only smother coughs.
Scott's Emulsion cures them.
Old coughs and deep-rooted
coughs can't be cured until
the inflammation which causes
them has been replaced by
Fheajthy tissue,
1 hat is exactly the kind o
thorough work Scott's Emul
sion does. It changes the
entire nature of the throat and
lungs so that there is nothing
to cough about.

TWO PINE SPECIMENS
Of Physical Manhood.
No form of athletic exercise demunds
such perfect physical condition as prize
lighting. Every muscle In tho body
must bo fully developed rind supple,
und tho heart, lungs and stomach must
net lo perfection.
Whether we endorse prize-fighting or
not, It Is nevertheless Interesting to
know the manner by which men arrive
at such physical perfection.

James Jefterlcs, the present champion
heavy weight of the world, and his
gallant opponent, Tom Sharkey, In tho
greatest pugilistic encounter that has
ever taken place, both pursued much
tho same course or training, und the
first and most Important part of this
training was to get the stomach In
condition, and to keep the digestion ab
solutely perfect so thut every muscle
and nerve would be at Its highest ca
pabilities. This was not done by a secret patent
medicine, but both of theso groat pugil
ists used a well know natural digestive
tablet Hold by druggists under the name
Stuurt's Dyspesla Tablet and composed
of tho digestive ferments which every
stomach requires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jeft'erlcs says: "Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acidity,
strengthen the stomach nnd insure per
fect digestion. They keep a man in
tine condition." Signed, James J. Jef
ferles, champion of the world.
The gallant tighter, Sharkey, says:
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets removo all
discomfort utter eating. They rest tho
stomach and restore it to a healthful
condition. I heartily recommend them."
Signed, Thos. J. Sharkey.
The advantage of the dally use or
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets la that
they keep people well and ward oft
sickness and are equally valuable to
well persons as to the dyspeptics. An
other advantage Is that these tablets
contain no cathartics, or poisons of any
character, but simply digestive fer
ments which are found In every healthy
stomach, and when digestion Is Imper
fect it is because the stomach hicks
some of these elements, and Stuarl'n
Dyspepsia Tablets supply It.
They are no cheap cathartic, but a
perfectly safe and efllclent digestive
and tho demand 'for them is greater
than the sale of all other so-called
dyspepsia cures combined. No remedy
could possibly reach such a place in
public esteem except as a result of pos
itive merit.
Full sized packages are sold by all
druggists nt 50 cents, and the best
habit you can possibly form is to take
a Stuart Tablet after each meal. They
make weak stomachs strong and keep
strong stomachs vigorous.

But it wasn't a case of free silver by
any menus. It was the most expensive
money I ever got hold of. Finding the
venture a losing one, we took lessons
from the 'greasers' and bought from
them 150 common goats.
"There Is nothing but sagebrush and
cactus out there for those animals to
feed on, but no man ever saw a dead
goat, unless he had come to some vio
lent end. They live and thrive where
nearly every other living thing starves
to death.
"We started out with 150 goats, de
riving our profits from the sale of tiie
hides. In 1802, we decided to mix them
with Angora goats. After two years
the cross disappears and you get it
perfect Angora goat. It is a. valuable
thing to have. The long hair is sold to,
the manufacturers or plush for furni
ture, sleeping cars and such things.-
The hair next to the skin can be made,
up into valuable shawls. The meat ot
the kids Is delightful wrJen fresh and
Is sent In Its canned shape to Cuba,
the Philippines, other parts of the
United States, to China and to many
other foreign countries us canned
lamb.
"So rich is goat's milk that one tea
spoonful of It is equal to three table
spoonfuls of the purest cream. But
the best part about the milk Is that it
Is a deadly foe lo tubercula, and con
sumptives who drink It ar.e often cured
of the disease. We are planning to
condense the milk and .sell it for medi
cinal as well as family use. K there
is any other dumb animal with more
valuable qualities than the goat, then
I don't know it.
"No stables have to be provided for
tho keeping and six ranchers are suf
ficient for herding up those we want
to sell. Once In a while the greasers
and Indians get awny with a few, but
where you've got some scrappy ranch
ers they are not likely to repeat the
performance often.
"As a rule, now we sell the goats on
the hoof. In order to do so we have to
drive them Into Tucson. And a tough
job It Is. Of course, horses are not
much good then, as It lis so hard to get
provender and water, but there is a
species of bronco which the natives
call 'loco poka,' which is as hardy as a
goat. The loco poka hi the craziest
thing between Arizona and tho next
hottest country. As long as the notion
doesn't strike 'em they're all right, but
if ever they niako up their minds to
stop nothing on earth can start 'em.
Whenever one goes, the rest goes. A
stampeding loco poka might go
through a town where a score of his
kind are hitched and every blessed one
of them would break loose. In some
way and go galloping after him. They
run till they get good and ready to
stop. If you happen to hang on that
long you can turn your loco poka
around and the rest will follow,
"We use the loco pokas for packing
tho kid meat to Tucson, and, barring
this one accomplishment, they aro all

had not long joined the Irregular horse
before ho was sent up to Lord Methueu
for somo gross breach of discipline, Not
knowing boforo whom ho had been
taken, the youngster resented, and snlrl
