Science Utilizer Ail Iie Ox.
In an article on the "Won
ders of the World's Waste,
William George Jordan, ii the
October Ladies' Home Journal,
details how science at the rjres
ent day utilizes the ox. "Not
many years ago," he says,
"when an ox was slaughtered
forty per cent, of the
animal was wasted; at
the present time 'nothing is lost
but its dying breath As but
one-third of the weight of the
animal consists of j)roducts that
can be eaten, the question of
utilizing the waste is a serious
one. The blood is used in re
fining sugar and in sizing pa
per, or manufactured into door
knobs and buttons. The hide
goes to the tanner ; horns and
hoofs -are transformed into
combs and buttons ; thigh-bones,
worth eighty dollars per ton,
are cut into handles for clothes
brushes ; fore-leg bones sell for
thirty dollars per ton for collar
buttons, parasol handles, and
jewelry; the water in which
bones are boiled is reduced to
glue ; the dust from sawing the
bones is food for cattle and
poultry ; the smallest bones are
made into boneblack. Each
foot yields a quarter of a pint
of neat's-foot oil ; the tail goes
to the "soup" ; while the brush
of hair at the end of the tail is
sold to the mattress-maker.
The choicer parts of the fat
make the basis of butterine ;
the intestines are used for sau
sage, casings or bought by gold
beaters. The undigested food
in the., stomach, which former!-
c;st the packers of Chicago
thirty thousand dollars a year
to 'remove and destroy, is now
made into paper. These are
but a few of the products of
abattoirs. All scraps unfit for
any other use find welcome in
the glue-pot, or they do mission
ary work for farmers by acting
as fertilizers."

Slicing si li-iioner to Death.
The North China Daily Press
says that the law of China,
which condemns a matricide
to death by the slicing process
whether he be the prepetrator
of a wilful crime or the victim
of an accident, is terribly illus
trated in Shanghai. A lad of
11 years old swinging a stone
on a string happened to strike
his mother a blow from which
she died. The boy-was to have
been sliced to death by the pub
lic executioner and the sentence
has probably been carried into
effect. The foreigners express
horror and say it is grim bar
barity, but they dare not inter

A Kindly Word for North Uaro
. lina
A special to the Sun from
Raleigh yesterday gave some
interesting figures touching; the
industrial and other develop
ments in that State. The j fig
ures are Instructive, and sjiow
a growth which will be at once
surprising and gratifying toj-the
friends of progress in the South
is generally known, but it is
not so well known that.it is rap
idly forging ahead in the ship
ment of lumber, and that the
eastern section of the State is
becoming a vast trucking region
from which excellent results
are obtained. Western North
Carolina is now the largest pro
ducer of tobacco used in the
manufacture of the highest
grades of chewing and smoking
tobacco. In his recent address
in Winchester, Va., Rev. Mr.
Avirett showed up in the num
ber and courage of its soldiers
during the late civil war. The
Sun's Raleigh correspondent
shows that in psace, as in war
the motto of the Old North
State is "Forward," with re
sults which promise to make
her a prosperous and wealth1

Peculiarity About Yellow Fever-
"A peculiarity of the yellow
fever that may not be generally
known," said Mr. A. M. Mar
cus, of hew Orleans, at the
Raleigh, "is that it only ap
pears on the Atlantic side of
this continent. It is liable to
visit our Atlantic cities any year
but its dread visitation is un
known in San Francisco, Port
land, or any of the towns on the
Isthmus of Panama its ravages
are confined to the Atlantic end
of the narrow neck of land tlmt
connects the Americas. Why
this is so I have never seen ex
plained, but the fact is well es
tablished. 'Yellow fever is not, as has
often been asserted, confined to
the white race. Negroes j are
not -immune, although much
less subject to the disease, par
ticularly those of pure African
blood. Those with an Anglo
Saxon strain in them are by no
means . exempt." AVashington
Post. :! -f
Did you ever stand by the
side of the railroad, look up at
the telegraph wires and wonder
what message were flashing
through those tongues of metal
which bid defiance to the loft-
1
iest mountain and broadest
ocean, and speak in tones cleai
and distinct though the sea
lashes into fury, and the King
of the storm rages in all his
power over the earth? There
flashes the price of wheat, - cot
ton or corn ; there goes the news
of bank failure, and financial
ruin : there goes loving words of
congratulation to the happy
pair who have just marched
down the aisle to the sweet mu
sic of joyous wedding bells,
and then the ever busy tongues
tell the story of sickiiess and
death, and the light of lope de
parts from the eyes, and cruel
sorrow crushes the heart.
Wonderful, wonderful, is the
story of the wires. Ex.

A Bug in a Man's Ear for Twen
ty Years.
After carrying a bug in his
ear for twenty years Mr. C. L.
Slioaf. a baggage master on the
Western, had the pleasure of
viewing his bugship last Satur
day. Twenty years ago Mr. Shoaf
got a bug in his ear and despite
the most persistent efforts of
various physicians the bug still
remained in his ear, having
worked his way so far back that
he could not be readied. Dur
ing the interval that has elapsed
since then- Mr. Shoal lias suf
fered more or less pain with
his ear.
Finally he applied to Dr.
Young, of Knoxville, for treat
ment, and Saturday the bug
was removed. Although he
had not seen the light of day
for 20 years the bug was in a
perfect state of preservation
and Mr. Shoaf still retains it
(though not in his. ear) as ai
souvenir . S a li s bu ry V prld .
Lowest Water for Years-
The Roanoke river is now
lower than it has been for years ;
in fact, the ''oldest inhabitants"
don't remember the time when
it was ever lower. Great rocks
and sand bars can now be seen
which are usually several- feet
under water, and in some
places it looks like it would be
possible for a man to walk
across diy shod, by stepping
from rock to rock. We would
not advise any one to try this,
however, for there is ahvajs
danger in familiarity with the
Roanoke river, let it be ever so
low. To look at it,- one would
imagine it a simple, easy-going
stream, but there are " many
treacherous whirlpools, and
what the small boys call "suck
holes" that will drag a person
to certain death so quickly that
one hardly realizes how it was
done. A good many people
have found watery graves in the
Roanoke, to our knowledge, thtf
latest victim being the ferryman
at Roanoke Rapids. Weldon
