The Aairrleaa Consul at Catania, Sicily, Tells How It Is Made. United States Consul Bruhl, at Catania, Sicily, a few months ago made mention in a report to the state department of a process of manufacturing black marble which was In use in Catania.

The process in brief consists in boiling soft sandstone in a mixture of asphalt and tar. In another report on the subject received at the state department a few days ago the consul gives the information that the asphalt is no longer used in the process, and that the blocks of soft sandstone, after being cut Into the desired shape, are now boiled in coal tar only. When the process was first introduced the bottom of the boiling tank on which the blocks were placed was in the form of an iron grating. While this grating was in use it often happened that large stones burst during the boiling process, either from too great heat, or on account of having been carelessly and improperly placed upon the iron rails or grating. Now, a layer of black tile is first laid upon the rails, in order to furnish anevenfounda-tionforthestones to rest upon and keep them from moving up and down during the boiling process, and also to pro tect the lower ones immediately over the fire from being overheated at the start.

Broken blocks which had been treated by this process are said to be as hard as granite. The tar penetrates and blackens the stone to a depth of about eight inches from the surface and broken surfaces glisten like coal. When the block to be treated is too large to be thoroughly saturated by the tar it is hollowed out in the middle. The tar is not put into the tank hot, but is slowly raised to a temperature of 700 degrees. The oil which collects on top of the tar during the boiling process Is drawn out through a tube leading into a receptacle provided for the purpose, and it is afterward distilled and produces napthalene.

The consul says the use of artificial black marble in Sicily is as yet not very extensive, being a new product, and anything new Is not easily introduced; besides, the immense lava beds furnish cheap and good stone for many purposes, and white marble from Carrara (upper Italy) is used largely. It has been used, however, to some extent for monuments and mausoleums. The plant for the manufacture of the material is engaged in making pedestals, columns, garden tables, mantelpieces, wash-stands, urinals and flooring inlaid with borders or centerpieces of colored marble. For slabs for anatomical purposes it is especially recommended, be ing considered to have disinfectant properties. The product seems last ing, and is, of course, far cheaper than true marble, and is available for all sorts of decorative work.

Chicago Journal. AUSTRIAN PRESS CENSORSHIP. Peculiar Conditions Which Editors Have to Contend With Dally. There is a censor of the press, and apparently he is always on duty and hanl at work. A copy of encb morning paper is brought to him at five o'clock.

II is official wagons wait at the door of the newspaper offices and scud to Lira with the first copies that come from the press. His company of assistants read every line in these papers and marks everything which seems to have a dangerous look; then lie pnssps final judgment upon these tnarK-ings. Two things conspire to give to the results a capricious and unbalanced look: His assistants hnve diversified notions as to what is dangerous and what isn't; he can't get time to examine their criticisms in rn'M-b detail, and so sometimes the very same matter which is suppressed in one paper fails to be damned in another one, and gets published in lull feather and unmodified. Then the paper in which it is suppressed blandly copies the forbidden matter into its evening edition provokingh giving credit and detailing ell tin circumstances in courteous and inotTVnsive language and, of coarse, the censor cannot say a word. Soiiii-tinjes the censor sucks all thf biood out oi a newspaper ancl leaves ii colorl's and inane; sometimes ae leaves it t.ndisturijed and lets it talk out its opinions with a frankness ami vigor Lardiy to he surpassed, I think, in the journals of any country.

Apparently censor sometimes revises his verdicts upon second thought, Tor several ti'nes lately he has suppressed journals after their issues and partial distribution. Thedistributedcopies ere then sent for by the censor and destroyed. Mark Twain, in Harper's Magazine. Tactics of Pursued Deer. An Oxford county sportsman who is much interested in the habita of wild game reports seeing three deer chased by do; in the deep snow.

It was impossible for them to run fast, and rhey adopted tactics that were at once novel and practical. They were running single file. The first thing that attracted attention as unusual was the action of the lender, which stopped suddenly, jumped to one side, and let the other two deer run by in the path he had made. Very soon the new leader" jumped out and let his followers run ahead as long as the leader could stand it to make the path in the deep snow. This was kept up until they went out of sight, and the sportsman had learned new.

SAGACITY OF WAR HORSES. Their Great Intelllsrence and Martial Spirit and Bow They Act Whem the Battle Is "It is remarkable how quickly horses adapt themselves to the military service, said an old soldier.

"Every artilleryman knows that thej- learn the bugle calls and the evolutions quicker than the men, as a rule. They soon acquire a uniform gait, which is about the same as what we call the route step or the usual marching step. If the horses did not acquire the same gait as the infantry there would be varying distances between the different arms of the service that is: between the infantry and the cavalry, artillery, and the commanders and their escorts. In the drills in the artillery service the horses will preserve their alignment as well as the infantry rank. "I shall alwaj-s remember one illustration of this trait which I noted at a very exciting and critical moment of a battle during our civil war.

In order to save some of our infantry from being surrounded and captured the commander of one of our batteries quickly mounted the cannoneers on the guns and put the whole battery at a dead gallop across a stretch of meadow about half a mile wide. I was quite accustomed to such sights, but when that dashing company half way across the field I noticed the inspiring array, and for a moment was lost in rapt admiration of the magnificent picture. Every driver was plying whip and spur, tke greatguns were rocking and thundering over the ground, and every horse, reeking with foam and full of animation and excitement, was straining every muscle as he galloped forward, jet a straight line dnwn along in front would have touched the noses of the lead horses in front of the six guns. That was an artillery charge. one of the most thrilling sights in the evolutions of war.

"It is surprising how quickly horses learn the bugle calls. Let the first note of the feed or water call be sounded and instantly there will be a stamping, kicking, and neighing among the horses. Once, during a terrible night storm in camp, our horses were seized with such terror that those of nearly eery battery broke loose and scat tcred about. The next morning there was a wild rush among the artillery men to capture horses for use. All was excitement, and the horses refused to be caught.

An officer ordered the bugler to give the feed call. Horses from every direction came dashing into that battery, and, the rush was bo great that it was with difficulty the men could get out of the way of the eager horses. "When it comes to a battle a horse seems to know everything that is going on and the reason for it all, and doe his duty nobly. He enters into the spirit of a battle like a human being. He shows no fear of death, no sign of being overcome by panic in all the wild tumult of the battle's roar.

A horse in one of our batteries during the Mur-freesboro fight was hit by a piece of shell, which split his skull so that one side was loosened. The driver turned him loose, but he walked up to the side of the gun and watched the firing, and when a shot was fired would follow i' with his gaze as if to note its effect on the enemy. When a shell would burst near by he would turn his head and look at it. When he saw the team he had worked with being driven back for ammunition he ran to his old place and galloped back with the rest. When an officer pushed him aside to have another horse put in he gazed at the new one with a most sorrowful expression in his eyes.

Then he seemed to realize that the glory of battle was no more for him, and he walked away and lay down and died. The officer declared that it was a broken heart, not the wound, that killed him. "During a fierce charge of confederate cavalry at Murfreesboro an officer was killed and the cavalry driven back. The horse the officer had ridden was a magnificent animal, and he had not been taught to retreat. Riderless he kept on his way, and as he dashed through our battery the sight of him vras indescribably grand.

His nostrils were extended wide, his eyes fairly blazed, and he clutched the bit determinedly with his teeth as he came on like the wind, with his saddle flaps flying until he looked as if he were himself flying instead of wildly running. Everyone gave him room as he dashed toward ns. An officer shouted that he would give $100 to anyone who would capture that superb animal, but all seemed too much bound ip in admiration of the noble beast to make the effort, and he sped on and disappeared in the bine distance.

The latter has been sent to Sampson to effect a junction with Captain Clark and to remain near Marti ique.

Under orders the Oregon has been making rapid time since she left Babia. This concentration of United States warships makes the Spanish Cape Verd Meet pretty well hemmed in. With Samp son guarding the Windward passage, and Schley in the neighborhood of Havana. there is no escape for the Spanish flitt from the body of water into which it has sailed, and which is guarded on the east by the new fleet, on the north and northeast by Samnson and Schlev. on west and north west by the American shores and coast defenses and on the south by South American countries.

A I'hilarie p'lia Simniar I sy Th it Ilia Cnuutrv m-ii Wsmt to Kill the Consul Oenera! to Piiir.Aii:i.rniA, May 10. A story of an alleged Spanish plot to assassinate Gen.

Fitzhujrh Lee has been the cause of some corresDondence between the war department and the regular army recruiting station in this city. According to a reputable Philadelphia merchant, whose name is withheld at his request, a Spanish workman in his employ had confessed to him that a plot had been formed to kill Gen. Fitz-hugh Lee. The conspiracy originated in New York among Spaniards who contended that Gen. Lee was largely responsible for the war with Spain, because he had, they alleged, while consul general at Havana, persistently misrepresented the condition of affairs in Cuba and had thus aroused the animosity of the American people against Spain.

This Spaniard had at first joined in the plot, but subsequently weakened from the fear that he might be chosen to assassinate Lee. An investigation is now going on in Philadelphia and New York, and Gen. Lee, it is said, has been warned. Spaniard Fear a Fight. New York, May 16.

A dispatch to the New York World from Cadiz says: The Spanish naval authorities are devoutly orayinir that Adm.

Infanta Maria Teresa and Cristobal Colon) and three torpedo boat destroyers (Furor.

When Commodore Schley took formal command of the flying; squadron the other day the "yards" of the flagship Brooklyn were manned by bluejackets, and on deck all involuntarily joined in the shout of applause. In the old navy, when United States ships were actually ships with yards, the bo'sun's mate's call: "All hands cheer 6hip!" was followed by a much more picturesque ceremony than is possible now, when the vessels of the navy are fitted with but a single yard, and that only used for signaling. At the word of command "Man the yards!" there was an amount of acrobatic scurrying on the main decks of the old ships that was calculated to made the ship-visitor hold his breath, the thing looked so dangerous. The men forward in the bluejacket uniform would fairly leap up the rope ladders, and almoBt by the time the echoes of the command had died away every yard on each mast would support scores of men and boys, all standing erect, most of them only held up bj the crossed arms of the men beside them. This representation of a cross was held by all of the men, and it was their business to stand thus with absolute statuesqueness.

Then the command "Cheer ship! would be bawled out on deck by the chief bo'sun's mate, and there would be a yell from cathead to mizzen that couldn't help warm the blood of everybody within hearing of it. When the men manned the yards with all sail except top'ls and stuns'Is set, such a picture was really beautiful, the men's uniforms of blue standing out in sapphire-like contrast to the cameo whiteness of the shrouds. This was a ceremony on all formal occasions, such as the visit aboard old ships of distinguished men. And man the yards and cheer ship were commands always given when one of the old clippers of the United States navy was either departing for or arriving from a. foreign station.
