oug'hly ventilated by an improved system 
and is equipped with a hot-air furnace, 
with a hot-water combination. 
The new building was formally accepted 
by the Mt. Hope Cemetery Commissioners 
and Mayor Hiram H. Edgerton with in- 
teresting ceremonies. The structure was 
inspected by the mayor, Henry B. Hatha- 
way, president of the commission, and 
Commissioners V. Moreau Smith, Charles 
W. Weis and J. W. Keller, secretary of 
the board and superintendent of the ceme- 
tery; Charles S. Owen, Commissioner of 
Public Safety; City Engineer Edwin A. 
Fisher, members of the contracting firm of 
Gorsline & Swan Co., the builders, and oth- 
ers. All expressed themselves as greatly 
pleased with the chapel. 
The Hope Cemetery has also contracted 
for the erection of a new crematory to, be 
designed by the same architect as the 
chapel, and to cost $40,000. It will be built 
of stone and will contain two retorts. It 
is now under way and is expected to be 
completed at an early date. 
of the latest design. Art glass windows 
of pleasing design add to the general effect. 
The plan illustrated herewith will show 
the general arrangement of the structure 
and the dimensions of the several rooms. 
An interesting feature is the hydraulic lift 
which communicates with the crypts be- 
low, and which will be used for lowering 
caskets. The lift was designed by a Roch- 
ester concern, and is said to be the only one' 
of its 1 kind in the country. The crypts are 
arranged in the basement of the building, 
and will hold 275 bodies. The large num- 
ber of crypts was provided with the idea 
of discouraging winter interments in the 
cemetery. Now that the chapel is com- 
pleted, funerals may be held at any time 
and the bodies may be placed in the crypts 
until warm weather. The basement is thor-

TWO PATENTED SPRAYING SOLUTIONS 
The process of making a lime-sulphur 
solution illustrated here has been patented 
as No. 1,043,276 by William H. Volck, of 
Watsonville, Cal. It consists in placing 
lump sulphur and lime in a receptacle pro- 
vided with perforations too fine to permit

the lump sulphur to pass through, and 
flowing water through the mass in the re- 
ceptacle to dissolve the combined sulphur 
and lime while heating the mass. 
Emilio Olsson, of 25 de Mayo street, 240, 
Buenos Ayres, Argentina, has also pat- 
ented an insecticide claimed to be of such 
character that it will either kill all insects 
on the plants or will emit an odor so of- 
fensive to insects that they will not settle 
on the plants treated ; that it can be pre- 
served indefinitely without alteration in its 
qualities ; that is harmless to the plant sub- 
stance, and that acts as a fertilizer for the 
plants when the compound is washed onto 
the ground. 
The liquid insecticide consists of a de- 
coction of the leaves of the plant botan- 
ically known as Melia azedarach, and 
known in many parts of South America as 
the Paraiso , and is obtained by boiling the 
leaves with Chile saltpeter. 
The ingredients are used in substantially 
the following proportions: 
Chile saltpeter 2 kilograms 
Leaves of Melia azedarach.... 1 kilogram 
Water 25 liters 
The compound is prepared as follows : 
The Paraiso leaves are boiled in water in 
the proportionate quantities above stated 
for a period of four hours; the Chile salt- 
peter is then added and the whole is boiled 
for one hour more. The resulting product 
is then allowed to stand for forty-eight 
hours, and is then filtered, after which it 
is ready for use. The compound is applied 
by spraying so that the greater part of the 
surface of the plant to be treated is slightly 
moistened with the compound. This is pat- 
ented as No. 936,932.
