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 dis
tribute force at present supplied by
myriad of small and wastful steam
engines, and then to be superseded al
together by the gas engine. Gas and
electricity may be mutually hostile,
but they are to unite their forces in
order to extirpate the steam engine.
The objectionable sin of the steam en-
gine is that of waste. Even the best
of them consume two pounds of coal
per horsepower per hour; whereas,
says DR.. Siemens, when the gas produ-
Ger has taken the place of complex and
dangerous steam boiler, it will not
take one pound of coal to develop one
horsepower for one hour. But before
gas banishes steam it will supersede
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 Squan-
der our inheritance. DIR. Siemens gave
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 any
thing for the value of the gas. Beside
the products already utilized, 10000
tons of sulphur are now wasted every
year, which may yet be converted into
a source of income. BY abolishing the
use of coal, DIR. Seimens maintains that
science, as with some magician's wand
: will Danish the black pail of smoke
which hangs over our great cities ant
! restore to them pure air, bright sun
; shine and blue skies" Nor shall W,
3 even have to suffer as compensation
q from the multiplication of enormou
t gasometers. The coal will be convert
t ed into gas at the bottom of the min
n "a prospect not altogether to be con
> templated without alarm by the work
ers in the fiery seams-and the ga
carried by pipes wherever it is wanted
Electricity will also be made largel
serviceable for the distribution c
1. power. Even after allowing fifty pc
e cent. for loss in transmission, the gai
le is still enormous. The electric ligf
IS will chiefly be confined to lightin
n public places. The gaslight will hol
its own as "the poor mans friend,
and gas heating will become universe
Thus in the near future DR.. Siemer
ID unfolds before our eyes a world
which there will be no smoke and L
"a steam, and where coal will only be vi
ible in the immediate vicinity of the pi
ne Electricity will light our streets, g
will cook our dinners, and drivir
IS power will be laid on by the wi
wherever it is wanted. There will |
1g no pollution of rivers, for every was
'lr product will be utilized, and the su
oy phurous fumes, which have convertt
no whole counties into scenes of dal
ad desolation will be employed to NAL
NJ the wilderness to blossom as a ros
o. and in restoring fertility to our e
ng hausted soil. In short, science at la
will begin to Danish all the manifo
: denominations by which 1.-The bla

beauty of our land. 1t is not befo

LUMBER MADE FROM STRAw.-Lum-
ber is now being manufactured from
straw, the standard size being so inches
in width, 12 feet in length and the
thickness the same as the average of
surfaced boards. One ton of any kind
of straw will yield 1000 feet of boards
that may be handled as ordinary ones.
This lumber can be produced and sold
in competition with wide walnut at
about one-half the price of the latter.

EARLY LETTUCE.-A correspondent
of Vick's Magazine says There are
very few people not fond of lettuce in
the early Spring. Having removed
from the city where early lettuce could
be bought at the markets, was much
at loss for this refreshing salad plant
at least until quite warm weather.
Knowing it to be quite hardy, last
Autumn sowed some seed in warm,
dry spot, and in a week or two the
plants were up. Before hard frosts I
placed around my little patch some
boards-to be particular, an old door
frame-and over this some loose boards,
covering about two thirds of the space,
so that there was about one-third un-
covered for light and air. 1t was there
it got the best of the sun sloping south
east, and it was surprise to find how
early I had young lettuce from this
rude bed. OF course, this will be of no
benefit to those who have hot-beds and
other conveniences for forcing vegeta-
bles. But to many of your readers ]
think the knowledge may be useful.

Silver PLATED w are.
The great Improvements during the
last few years in the manufacture of
silver-plated ware, have in many
ways increased the desirableness of
this excellent substitute for solid silver.
Not only has great durability been
obtained by the new methods, but
pattern and finish, which formerly
betrayed the difference between it and
silver. now give no clue bywhich even
an expert can distinguish.
Clumsiness of shape has given way
to the lightest and most artistic forms,
and the production of a meritorious
pattern in the solid metal is quickly
followed by its appearance in the less
costly material.
Even such elaborate decorations as
repousse and hammered work-long
confined to solid silver-are success
fully produced in plated ware with
delicacy and beauty leaving little to
be desired in respect of appearance.
1t is, however, only in the higher
grade of electroplated ware that these
excellencies of the designer are at
tempted to be wrought out, such per-
fection of workmanship and dainty
finish being impossible in the inferior
varieties, in addition to the vital def
cheney of these in durability.

Letter From Hillsboro'.
NEW DEPOT STEAMBOATS,
THE NEW CHURCH, &C.

For several weeks a very exciting
contest, in which considerable ill-feel-
ing has been begotten, has been wayed
with reference to the location of the
prospective new depot buildings at our
station. The town people together
with many in the regions beyond, con-
tend for the new on the site of the old,
while the patrons of the road living
across the TuokahOe creek which sepa-
rates us, and who are residents of Tai
bot and Queen Anne's counties are as
vigorously striving for the removal of
the station to their side, and with con-
siderable show of success. The road
gets more passengers from the Talbot
and Queen Anne's side, and ten times
more freight, while the location will be
decidedly more advantageous in all re-
speets, and only about the same dis
tance from town. The present location
is no credit to our town, although on
the Hillsboro' side, being where few
would ever care to build. The rail-
road authorities have determined upon
building at the most eligible point, and
are already getting together the lumber
for the erection of a building the
dimensions and style of the Kentor
station.

run to within mile and half of Oul
