An Interview With Mr. Leiliton Tine on the Siiltjcct- now soiTH ekpkctkh ly THE E.NTEHPUISK. Tho Hrmtli licndt'Ind.) Evenius Reutrter. A Register r-jiortcr interviewed Mr. Leiglitnn Tine, manager of tlie Singer works in this city, who lias just returned from Cairo, 111., and from him learned the following facts regarding the new enterprise of his company now in progress at Cairo: The enormous 111crea.se in the Singer company's business having created a demand for cabinet work fur beyond the capacity of the South ttend works to supply.

the extension of the works here or erection of new works at some point nearer the tint ber supply, became a neccsHity. The latter course has been decided on, and Cairo se lectcd as the site for the new factory. Af ter a careful examination of a number of other points in the southwest, Cairo was found to possess marked advantages over every other point visitel, and wa selected by the Singer company as the location of their new cabinet works. Among the advantages of this point are: 1st. Lumber can be rafted to the door of the factory via the Tennessee, Cumberland, Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri rivers and their tributaries, at a saving of about ten dollars per thousand feet over present cost of freight to South Betid.

2nd. Some of the most important cen tres of the Singer company's trade, such as St. Louis, Kansas City, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Pittsburg and points, can receive finished work by river from Cairo. Die Elizabethport fa ctory, which takes one- quarter of the product of the South Bend works can bo supplied by river to Pittsburg, thence by rail into the company's yards at Elizabcthpnrt. Boston, Philadel phia ami other eastern depots can be supplied by the same route, or by steamer via New Orleans.

3d. Eight railroads enter at Cainylivcrg-ing east, south ami west, securing additional facilities for obtaining lumber ami other supplies, at low rates, Besides giving the city unusual advantages as 11 distributing point. II desired, finished work can be shipped east, all rail, at much lower ites than from South Bend, owing lo the com petition in freights. The immense ijuatility of hardware and trimmings required by the Singer company can be laid down iu Cairo from the East cheaper than in South Bend. Last but not least, the enormous quantity of cabinet work demanded by the European trade can be shipped by water via Now Orleans, uud laid down at the company's Glasgow factory at which all machinea for the European trade aro made us cheap as they can now bo sent from South Bend to the American const.

Immense tracts of hardwood timber mir-rouud. the city in all directions and the Singer company has already secured control of the timber on a tract of eighteen square miles, all of which can be delivorod by wagon at tlio works tho longest haul not exceeding six miles. Tho Singer factory have secured a factory site of twenty-four acres, including a valuable river front and is one of five corporations owning all tho river front surrounding Cairo on both rivers and has now iu course of erection, to bo finished by September 1 1th ono brick building 80x05, 3 stories; another 100x70, another 50x18. These aro to uu used only for cutting their lumber and glue-it into lorm, tho motivo power being a doublo-clyndor engine ond four Babcock Wilcox sectional boilers of 7.r horse-power each. The cabinet works proper will consist ot five buildings, each 00 500 feet, 3 stories high, with ample space betweeu for Qro pro- fi, 1881.

NEW tcction, and connected at each story by self-supporting bridges; all elevators and itair cases will be on the outside of the buindings, which will he divided bj fire walls every hundred feet. The motive power of this immense beo-hivo of industry will be supplied by 8 Rthcock Wilcox boilers of 180 horso power capacity each, and an 800 power engine. There will be 12 dry kilns each holding fSO.OOO feet of lumber. Employment will ho given to 1,000 luinds. The details or the plans shown us warrant the assertion that this will lie the model cabinet factory of the world.

To protect the magnificent works and as a mark of their uppeciathm of the advantages which their city will derive from their coming, the people of Cairo have decided tn commence, forthwith th erection of the model water-works of the country. During Mr. Tine's visit hu was appointed a member of a committee to design these works. The city council ot Cairo showed ran; givM I judgment in the selection os air, ('me this work, Ins efforts as and his.kill as a hydrnul- ic engineer, this city is indebtrd fur a sys tern of water-works, which the lest of time has shown to have no superior in the country, and we predict that wilh his increased experience, and the deep interest which as manager of the Singer company's interest he must t'ike in the Cairo water-works, the, people of that city will have a water sys teni of which any city can be proud. The series of lectures on hydraulics wilh which Mr.

Pine favored our citizens, extending over a period of several months prior to the erection of our works, ichiilted in making our people generally familiar with that branch of the subject relating to waterworks, hence they will readily understand how compu te ami efficient the Cuiro system will lie fnmi the follmvins description. The "it 1 Haiidpipe, (ours is familiarly known a Pine's monument', will he 20 feet in diameter and 200 feet and made pr'ihably of This pipe will be pumped into during the day time only, and will hold enough water when full to throw 6 1 -inch tire streams for four hours without pumping a stroke, the main ypes will be 20, 12 and 10 inches only, and 2-way Ore hydrants only will be used with 0 inch connections from the mains. Two separate I suIb of steam pumps of the Worthiugtnn, I Blake, or some other standard pattern, bav- tng a combined capacity of four million gallons daily will be used. While congratulating the people of Cain on their good fortune in securing the loca tion of this mammoth industry, we express ed the fear that their gain would be South Bend's loss, as the extent and character of the Cairo enterprise would indicate that the company's works in this city would in the course of time be entirely abandoned. To this Mr.

Pine replied that hile lit! had no authority to speak on this point, yet personally he would say that, knowing what he did of the resources of tho company, and that il 1. any of its property to stand idle, he felt issured the interests of this city would not sutler by the change. Even if thecahinet work should eventually be all made in Cairo, something would be done with the works here to keep them going. it Possible That a remedy made of such common, simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, D.indelson, make so many and such marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop Bitters do? It must be, for when old and young, rich and poor, pastor and doctor, lawyer and editor, all testify to having bevn cured by them, we mtiht believe mid doubt no longer. See other Post.

Industrial Art in India. In every Indian village, lays the Art A 111 ale tir, all the traditional handicrafts still to he found at work. Outside the entrance, on an exposed rise of ground, the hereditary potter sits by his wheel moulding swift-revolving eiay ny net natural curves oruisnanas. At the back of the houses which form tlio low, irregular street there are two or three looms at work in blue and searh and gold, the frames hanging between Mm acacia, trees, the yellow flowers of which drop fast on the webs iu ihe.y are being woven. In the street, the bra.

Later, the men drive in the milk-gray kino from the moaning jungle, the looms are folded up, the coppersmiths ere silent, the elders gather iu tho gate, the lights begin to glimmer in tno fast falling darkness, the feasting and tho mtisio begin, and the soiiirs are sung lute into the night from the Uaiiiavauu or M.ihahharala. Vaccination. Probably at no time in the history of the world have sanitary and hygienic laws been so csuvfiillv studied as thoy aru at the present.

Physiologists, have made experiments upon the lower animals in order to elucidate the causes of certain diseases, hoping in this way to discover a means to prevent their appearance, and lately most surprising lesulLs have beeu attainnd tlirougn their efforts, and there is a fair promise that sanitary scienco will enable us to entirely eradicate the more virulent of epidemic diseases. Lately tha efficiency of vaccination as a prevsntive ol sinall-pox has boon questioned by some medical practitioners, and this fact has given rise to considerable discussion among physicians. The fact seoras to ho that humanized vaccine gradually loses its ellicieucy through successive transmissions, and greater reliance should be placed on the puro bovine lymph than upon that from a human subject. It must also be observed that tho immunity which vaccination sooures does not continue so long as it formerly did. In Jeuner's time it was thought, and apparently with good reason, that single vaccination was sufllcient for a lifoiimo, but for some reason it is now necessary to repeat the oporation at short intervals to preserve immunity.

Whether this is entirely owing to the deterioration of the lymph or partly due to an increase in the virulence of the itself is not known. Probably few tiro aware of how greatly the mortality from this disease has increased of lato years among vaccinated persons. From 1819 to 18.W the peroontage of mortality was 1.7.; from 1836 to 1852 it was from 1852 lo 1867 it had increased to 7.6, and now it is over 9 per cent. Xt'-w I'ork Times.
