CLEANING POSTALS. troceM ia Hemove Printing from Vn canceled Card. An advertisement him appeared In tome of the dally papers. In which a rash payment ha been offered for un canceled printed pt si ranis. This was nil that wax stated, and ah It seem ed to bp out of the general run of ad vertisements, a rail wan made on the advertiser to find out tho object of tlila offer. It secma that many luixiiu houses bavo occasion to have a largo number f postal cards printed, to advertise some wvlnl lino of goods or for the use of some traveling man. For noma reason or other the condition may change, so that perhaps only half of the rards are used. Being printed, they cannot be used In any other way, and the result la that In nine cases otit of ten they are consigned to the waste basket, as the ("Sovemment does not re deem uncanceled postal cards as It doee tamped envelopes. A process han lsen discovered by which all of the printed matter may be removed from the card, leaving It In rhe same condition as when bought at the postofBce. A charge of cent per card la made for Oils work, or In other words, a man sends BOO cards to be "made over." The man who doee tbe work charges $2.60 for bin services, nd the customer aavea $2.50, as the . printed cards were of no use to him. The process by which this work la ac complished Is not patented, as the In ventor Is fearful that after the Ingre dients become known, some one else may change them enough to escape an infringement, but at the same time ob tain the same result. The solution Is made at night, after the factory bands have gone borne, and Is given them the next day to use. The scheme has been In operation for six mom hi only, but the Inventor has letters from all pnrta of the counlry from prominent busi ness houses, that have taken advantage of this offer to save 00 cents on the dol lar, and he feels sure he has got a busi ness that, after it has become known, will prove a good paying Investment.

The treatment of such need not differ one with the other. Both are bad enough, and should have prompt attention, as nothing disables so much as lame back.

Otlnloae for Armored t ywels Is to Be Turned tint In Vast Qiiaiilltles-Some-ttilngnrthe rnetnry Methnds-r'arinrrs' Itiinr Mow In Cirrst Itemnml. When the pioneers of Ameilcn, who Imil snccessfnlly tusseled with the In dian and possessed themselves of his uihei itnnce, tnckled the Indian coni stnlk, they retired Imftied and beaten, ami from that time to the present the stalk has been monarch of the field, t once the biggest nnisnnce and most worthless product of the farm. Hut a Moses has arisen to deliver the farmer from his thraldom. From a nuisance in farm economy the stilk has become t vuliinble product; from a worthless rente it has attained to the dignity of 1 a ton rating, and now it is daily ar riving in great loads from all parts of Winnebago county, Illinois, and is be ing piled in immense stacks on the grounds of the Marsden Development company at Hock ford. Already, says the Chicago Record, there are several thousand tons of the stalks collected, and by the time the crop is all in there will be many times as many on hand. The past year was not a good one for stalk development, ud the average crop does Hot exceed 11)00 pounds an acre, but normally nearly twice this amount would be realized. The vast piles of stalks will be turned into a marketable product before summer comes again, and the beginning of a great industry ill have been fairly made in Illinois. If the claims and hopes of the ollicinls of the) i'ompany are realized, the bniieflta of the Marsden patents to the world at large will he stupendous financially, and a great waste iu agricultural econo my will be Mopped, it ia stated on ate mhI authority that the crop of corn stalks in the United Htates for 1H!5 reached the immense aggregate of 1(1(1,0(10,000 tons, and this of a product nnflt for food for man or beast. The processes of the Marsden com pany are many, but there are only two products that they are commercially operating with, Mr. Marsden has proved that over sixty difl'crent products may be made from stalks, among the leading minor possibilities beiug nleohol of a superior quality, shoo enamel which w ill not crack, smokeless powder of a high degree of stliciency, paper much better than any now produced from wood pulp, an ef ficient mnteriul for use ill electric in sulntion, a material possessing in marked degree the property of non conduction of heat. But these thus far have been commercially overshadowed by the corn pith cellulose, aud, us a by-product, au excellent cattle food. Although tho process of the compa ny is secret and the agents of the con cern will neither allow inspection of the plant nor indicate the methods em ployed, the general idea of the opera tion which converts the stiff fibre-covered pith into merchandise is quite simple. The stalk in ground very fine and the resulting comminuted mixture of pith and fibre, the two differing greatly in specific gravity, is separated by the nse of a strong air blast and the action of gravity, the heavy fibre tlrBt falling, while the pith is carried on by the blast to another receptacle. There is no waste product; the heavier part, the fibre which has composed the stock and blades, is put into sacks and goes as stock food, while the pith is sacked and as corn cellulose goes to the Eastern market to aid in armoring battleships. The stalk yields pith and fibre in about equal quantities, but ou the scales the tale ia different, the pith not being more than 10 per cent, of the product. The stock food ia esti mated to be about equal to hay aa a atock ration, aud serves the same pur pose thnt of a base for feeding heavi er ration?. It has not been put to a test on the farms, as it is not sold at all in the open market. The whisky trust appreciated the advantages of the food, and has contracted for the entire output of the present factories, using it in the cattle-feeding barns. The plans of the Marsden company, which has an authorized capital of $50,000,000, look to an immense en largement of the ' business and the spreading of their factories through the corn belt as fast as the demand (or the products growa. Every part of the cornstalk, other than the pith, ia used in the food, aa also the fibres which bind the pith itself in its natural state, but which are separated in the great grinder. The discovery of the possibility ol utilizing the cornstalk was made through the use of cellulose in naval construction. It was found soon after the adoption of armored craft that they were more liable to dangerous leaks if the armor were once penetrated than a wooden vessel would be, being less buoyant. With the development of modern heavy ordnance of wonderful penetrative power the question became a serioua one. It was aolved by I French deaignera. The vulnerable I area of the ship ia not large, the most dangerous breaks being but little be low the water. The French plan pro vided for the construction of an arch ing false deck from a point a few feet below the water line to the deck, leav ' ing a space about thirty inchea wide ' between thiajtack-and the outer shell ! of armor, the aide of the battleship. This space la densely packed with eel lulose, stowed by hydraulio pressure. In the French construction ooooanut fibre was nsed and auswered fairly the requirement. It remained for Mr. Marsden to apply the despised pith of tbe cornstalk in place of the more expensive ooooanut. At first it was claimed only that the new materi al would be an economy, but the tests made by the government eatablished k great superiority for the American product, SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. French experiments have shown that an addition of arsenic to the mol ten mnlals increases the strength of steel.

STATURE DENOTES CAPACITY. Cniimitiiirlliis; strains Have Worked No leterlnrntlnn, 111 a paper rend by Major Henry H. Kilbourne, surgeon, United Htates trniv, before the Association of Mili tary Hnrgeoiis of the United Htates, he advocated the theory that the physical power of n race or people, and eonse- Mientlv their capacity for work, is measured by their average ntature. I' or every inch of height between five nnd six feet the extreme breathing ca pacity is increased eight cubic inches; the vital capacity being at its maxi mum nt thirty-five years. A table of measurements of 100,021 nntive white Americans, ncceptod for the military service of the United Htates, shows thnt the number of men below sixty three inches iu height is but little greater than that of the class above seventy-three inches. The most num erous class is included betweeu sixty seven and sixty-nine inches, and this standard class would have a greater chest girth than the average, Tbe mean height of 125 United States naval cadets abovo the age of tweuty-thvee years was 07.80 inches. As these men are drawn from nil parts and classes of the United Htates, they represent very nearly the typical phys ical development of the American peo ple of twenty-five years of age. Mujcr Kilbourne concludes thnt the commingling strains of Celtic, Dnuish, Norwegian and German blood among Dur people have thus far worked no leterioration of physical quality. "Not an with the swarthy, low-browed and stunted people now swarming to our shorus. Absorbed, into 4he body of the people, these multitudes must inev itably evolve nu inferiority of type. To realize the result of such a contin gency, let it be considered that the loss of an inch iu stature might bring in its train the loss of national ascend ancy. Let us take care, then, that the state shall suffer no injury." Bob ton Transcript. Hound In Human Hkln, In Camille Flainmarion's library is volume of the fauyms astronomer's works which benrs the unique title "Souvenir d'Une Morte." Itis unique because the title is wholly incompa tible with the contents of the book, which is mainly devoted to scientific matters. However, when one hears the story that is told of this little vol ume it does not appear so strange after ill, though interest in it grows all the greater. It is said that Mr, Flam uiarion, meeting a beautiful lady at a reception one evening, openly ex pressed his admiration for her really lovely shoulders. Ho impressed was the lady that when she died her will directed that enough skin be taken from that part of her person to bind the next work of the distinguished scientist. This waa done, and the book referred to is the result. Pitts burg Dispatch. Coins In Btatuary Hall, When the pedestal of the statue of Blair, which Missouri baa presented to Statuary hall, was standing iu that hall tbe other day awaiting its bronze figure, some one noticed that in the centre of the stone block was a email square hole. The Missouri delegation was present to watch the placing of the statue, and oue of the oongitss men, Hulling through his pockets, found a penny. He put the coin in the square hole, and also deposited a bit of paper with bis autograph. The example was contagious, Every member of the delegation put in a penny aud his name, some curious by standers did likewise, aud by tbe time that the statue was placed iu position there was almost enough oopper in the pedestal to sheath a ship.
