other actors were reassured, and

Carr could act, and act well,
though, curiously enough, he look-
ed less gentlemanlike and well-bred

had done when he was the best

The complete utilization of all

i, a commercial idea. Formerly
no effort at all was made to go any
further in any process of muuufac-
ture than to turn out the product
directly aimed at, all incidental or
by products being thrown away. At
present the secondary product as-
sumes greater importance than the
primary, but, there is still much to
be done before all waste is abolish-
ed A recent address by Otto Witt,
a celebrated German chemist, is
thug paraphrased and commented
upon in La Nature. Paris:
"It is easy to see that simply to
.lo away with or remove an anuo
in,; accumulation of material is
appreciable advantage, but v
often those residues ar;: injuriot
aid by utilizing them we render\
unnecessary costly treatment int -
pc -ed upon the manufacturer by the
(ntiitary authorities -for example,
purification residual water, or the
suppression of smoke. Finally, the
urc of these materials gives them
a certain value that may sono -
times bo very appreciable.
MUCH, LOST.
"We do not generally realize in
fact, what a total may be attained
by the value of the useful elements
losttoo often in the residues of fac-
tories. The powerful modern indus-
tries have a very intensive pro-
duction, and the smallest figure is
so greatly multiplied that it chang-
es into millions.
"Interesting facts on this subject
have been published recently by
Ur. J. Effront, diretor of the In-
stitute of Fermentation at Brussels,
and Mr. A. Aulard, the well-known
sugar chemist. The figures relate
to the valua of principles contained
the residues of sugar -making
and distilling which are theoretical-
ly utilizable. but in most cases
practically unutilized."
SOME BIG ITEMS.
First mentioned among these re-
sidues is the "mash" from which
spirituous liquors are distilled.
This contains salts of potash and
st,da and various nitrogenous com-
pounds. Sometimes the potash i
st(ved by evaporation and calcin
tion. but generally the whole rn
is thrown away, Ind in any jos
th-1 nitrogen is lost.

Found of nitrogen is thus thrown
away for every ten gallons of alco-
hol produced. It has been calcu-
lated that the equivalent of 100,000
14 ns of ammonium sulphate, worth
about 44.000,000, is thus annually
lost in Europe. Instead of using
this as a fertilizer. Chili saltpetre
is imported at greet. expense.
Processes for saving this valuable
nitrogenous fertilizer have been de-
vised and are beginning to be used.
In the beet -sugar industry, like -

In Europe alone, more than 50,-
