If pecu- liarity is that its trains have no driv- ers. It is used for carrying salt from the salt mines at Stasfurt. The trains consist of thirty trucks, each carrying half a ton of salt. The engines are electric, of twenty-four horse power each. As it approaches a station, of which there are fiye along the line, the train automatically rings a bell, and the station attendant turns a switch to receive it,. He is able to stop it at any moment. To start it again * he stands on the locomotive, switches the current and then descends again be-. fore the engine has gained speeds + Perfumes. “The manufacture of perfume by natural processes or from the natural flower,” . said Mr. James H.. €@alisher, of New York, at the Rennert, “is anti- quated and particularly out of com- mission. How wonderful is nature is indicated when I tell you that all our perfumes are made from the syf- thetic odors of coal tar and that the ‘retaining body is ambergris or civet— the first a foul, waxy concretion cast off from the stomach of the sperm whale, the second an equally offensive ‘mdtter from- the civet cat. These re- taining bodies, by the way, have a high value — especially the ambergris, a piece of which worth $20,000, was found a few days ago by a fisherman off Cape Cod. Toilet waters, formerly secured by distillation, are now se- cured by percolation, and, in facet, the whole business of perfume making has been revolutionized. oil of roses from Bulgaria ‘is about the only article mow distilled from the fresh flowers. The artificial oils are the ionine, for violet; heliotrope, for heliotrope; lilacine, for lilac and so on, in every case being a perfect substi tute for the natural odor. “But what is ihe need of the substi- tute? Is it a ‘question of economy ?”’ “Not at all. The artificial perfumes are no cheaper, but the chemical pro- ceds saves time. Wlen the pomades were used it was necessary to freeze and wash them early in the winter for the entire year’s supply. Now we have our oils ready at hand and in forty-eight hours we can turg them’ out in the finished perfumes. It is purely a question of time and conven- ience.” The fancy basket is geing out of style, accarding to Mr. Galisher. “Instead,” he said, ‘the square, round, octagonal and vari-formed box, in oriental. colors and. designs, is the popular thing for your perfume bottles. Here is cne, for instance—a famous Byzantine plaque; -here is a lot of boxes decorated in Japan and import-. ed direct; here are some Grecian and Egyptian modes. The entire tendency is toward the Oriental effects, and we are making no efforts to maintain the old styles.”—Baltimore Sun. r Fences'a Luxury in Japan, Only the very rich have fences around their farms in ‘Japan.

It is said that 190,000 acres that would otherwise be taken up with fences are thus used.—Philadelphia Ledger. Camels #and Sunflowers. A Kansas man is going to fry to raise camels in. that State.

Dun & Co.'s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: Wall street’s severe reaction was not due to any setback ‘in the commercial:world, all measures of legitimate trade showing wholesome progress, and confidence in the future is unshaken. Railway earnings in November averaged 9.2 per cent. greater than in the same month of 1903, and the distribution of merchan- dise sufficiently heavy to produce for the “trades” at several points. Manufacturing plants report - in- creased output in almost every -in- stance, except where inadequate water supply provides a temporary in- .terruption. This difficulty is most severely felt at coke ovens and paper mills in Pennsylvania. Seasonabie weather has stimulated retail trade in wearing apparel, and holiday: goods are ‘in. great ,demand. Foreign com- merce at the port of New York shows a gain of $2,029,971 in exports as ¢om- pared with the same week last year, while .imports increased $2,008,591. Each week there is an increase in the number of. steel mills and iron fur- naces in operation, output steadily in- creasihg despite the fact that this is rniormally the ‘dull season. The: rail- ways: are . placing orders freely for practically all forms of equipment ex- will ‘probably materialize next week when it is believed that the old list price of ‘$28 will be reaffirmed. ~ Quo- tations of finished steel. are very firm. Persistent advices in the miner metals have at last received a check. Strength continues in the hide mark- ets. Footwear is strong, and ‘while no change is noted in current prices, a general advance of five cents is de- manded on future business. Notwith- standing the sharp decline in raw cot- ton goods, the cotton goods mark- et has remained fairly steady. More sales of heavy woolens and worsteds are reported at former prices.

In digging the New York subway the - men + uncovered .many; Sewers which had to be rebuilt. At first they built the new sewers of brick. Pres- ently the bricklayers, who were re- esiving $5.20 a day, struck for higher wages. The work stopped. The in- dispensable bricklayers left.the sub- way. But the old adage came to Mr. Parsons’ mind: ‘There are more ways to kill a cat than by choking him with cream.” Concrete work was cheap; why not build the sewers of concrete? Experiments were unexpectedly suc- cessful. Thereafter concrete was used almost exclusively—a new kind of sewer had been evolved, cheaper than the brick sewer and better.
