Meltipg the Anss.

By means OF an intense jet Of fams
thrown dir ectly TO the grsand from .
moving truck PhilLdelphiA inventor
CLAIMS that the street car tracks can Be
kept clear Of snsw 70 much better sx
tsnt than by the present methods en-
pioyed. and that the bloekadss which
the resent condition Of the thorough
fares have oeeasionsd uould Tins be
avoided. The two substances employed
for this purpose are water and oil which
are generated and decomposed and then
discharged In . gas, which burns at .
temperature OF 5000 degrees. The sp-
paratus consists Of boiler, water tank
}, d oil reservoir mounted npon . Rsek.
A pressure Of steam 10 generated in the
boiler and then Allesed TO pass In 70 .
mother chamber, where il csmmin giss
pith the oil. Here An extreme heat Ia
applied, by which the contents Of the
chamber are aiomiIsd and yaporiEsd.
A current Of air is then drawn In BY .
suction and becomes thoroughly satura-
ted viih the yspor. When tbs gases
TINS generated are ignitsd an oxyhy-
drogen fame is prodteed. The ignition
oocurs st periorations along pipe,
somewhat resembling those uaed in the
street watering carts, placed however
much nearer 70 the ground. A fall Of
tzo inches Of snow can be melted by the
vehicle passing over it At the ordlnIy
street-caf jsant. As much a. . foot Of
snou could be melted, the inventor sAys
BY moving the machine along At a
somewhat slower rate. The hillocks Of
snow four feet high which now block
up the space between tracks and curbs
can be removed, he says, al the rate Of
two hours per block, According 10 the
calculations Of the inventor, Ar. J. ksa-
drick, the consumption Of oil would vary
from Eve TO twenty gallons per hear.
Two horses can propsi ths Truck a. fIs:
as An c-iinary hors. ear, and two can
keep the machine In operation. The en-
tire cost Of the apparatus does not ex-
ceed t500 and the cost Of operation ia
sxe1 at one fourth Of tke sEseDsEs

"A Canadian journal recently sent a
commission Of two Of its reporters to investigate
the workings of the prohibitory law in the State
of Maine. One was in favor of the law the
other opposed to it,. They report that Z" in the
country 1T is perfect success; in the smaller
towns liquor is obtained with great difficulty ::
in Bangor and Portland the law is very i'm
perfectly enforced The great thing accom-
Pllshed is that the selling Of liquor has been
made disreputable.
From one sewing machine factory
in Hamilton, Ontario, a hundred thousand
machines have been sold in Africa. 1t is not
until we have seen orders from the agents OF
