The Allegation. Of Attempted bribery
The Steam Engine Doomed.


Whatever else may survive in the future,
DIR. Siemens is certain that the steam engine
is doomed. Its fate is first to be confined to
the driving Of large dynamo machines, which
will distribute force at present supplied by a
myriad small and wasteful steam engines,
and then to be superseded altogether by the
gas engine. Gas and electricity may be
mutually hostile, but they are to unite their
forces in order TO exlirpate the steam engine.
The objectionable sin OF the steam engine is
that of waste. Even the best of them con-
sumo two pounds of coal per horse. power
per hour; whereas, says DIR. Siemens, when
the gas producer has taken the place OF the
complex and dangerous steam boiler, it will
not take one pound OF coal TO develope one
horse power for one hour. But before
gas banishes steam, it will supcrsede coal as
the agent for the development of steam.
A pound of gas gives forth exactly twice the
heat Of a pound Of coal, and even this may
be improved upon. To burn raw coal is to
squander our inheritance. Dr. Semens gives
some startling figures to prove that the by
products of the coal annually used in gas
making are worth three millions sterling
more than the coal used in producing them
without allowing anything for the value Of
the gas. Besides the products already
utilized 100000 tons OF sulphur are now
wasted every year. which may yet be con-
vertcd into source of income by abolish
ing the use Of raw coal, DIR. Siemens main
tans that science, as with some magician $
wand, will Danish the black pail of smoke
which hangs over our great cities, and re-
store to them pure air, bright sunshine and
blue skies. Nor shall we even have to suffer
a compensation from the multiplication OF
enormous gasometers. The coal will be con.
verted into gas at the bottom of the mine
prospect not altogether to be contemplated
without alarm by workers in fiery seams
and the gas carried by pipes wherever it is
wanted. Electricity will also be made
largely serviceable for the distribution Of
power. Even after allowing 80 per cent fol
loss in transportation, the gain is still enor
nous. The electric light will chiefly b'
confined 10 lighting public places. Tn,
gas light will hold his own as "ihe poo
mans friend" and gas heating will becom,
universal, Thus in the near future DIR
Siemens unfolds before our eyes world il
which there will be no smoke and no steam
and where coal will only be visible in the
immediate vicinity of the pit Electricity
will light our streets, gas will cook our din
ners, and driving power will be laid in BY
wire wherever it is wanted. There will be n,
pollution of rivers, for every waste produc
will be utilized. and the sulphurous fumc,
which have converted whole counties int
scenes Of dark desolatiou will be employed
in making the wilderness to blossom us tn,
rose, and in restoring fertility to our ex
hausted soil In short, science at last vii

aud no formality Of any kind observed.
The public has free access to the brokers
on the floor Of the Boulse. The Agents de
Change moved about among the throng like
other people, holding their little red books
above their heads and taking or executing
orders rs they hurry along. The more staid
and less pushing brokers remain inside the
little circle which is their special den on the
floor, and communicate with their customers
across the low railing. This comparatively
small space is all that appears to be reserved
TO the brokers and is not accessible to the
public. Practically, there is perfect freedom
of movement and action between buyers and
sellers at the Bourse as much as at the Hallcs
Ccntrales or the Marche du Temple. With
the substitution of French for English jar
gon, the racket was exactly what you can
hear in Wall street any busy day. There
the same little brokers who stood on their
toes and screamed like cockatoos. There
were the same tall and powerful fellows, who
roared like Bulls of Bashan and bore down
all opposition as they elbowed their way
around. Canards were doing the same work
there as In New York. In fact, buster and
bounce arc not separated from stock broking,

The Adirondack Dissertation.

A few weeks ago we published the state
mcnt that party of capitalists had purchas-
ed n large tract of land In the very heart Of
the Adirondack wilderness with the intcn-
ton of building line of saw mills through
out the region and converting the magnii-
cent forests into timber, A good deal OF in
dignation was manifested at the time, but it
would appear that nothing has been done to
prevent the Dissertation, for We learn that ar
engagements are now nearly completed for
the building Of branch railroad from the
Chateaugay line to the mills, by which the
lumber will be brought to Plat,sburgh and
shipped from there. Although this addition
to the lumber business of Lake Champlain
will doubtless bring its share OF profit to
Burlington, still we cannot resist the convic'
tion that this project Of wholesale de-
sruction of our beautiful and famous Ma
tional park will cause universal regret.
