The bi-sulphide Of carbon is chem
ical compound which has long been
known. but is now being utilized for
the first time as substitute for the
yaror produced by boiling water. Sci
entists have always held that steam as
motive was very defective. 1t seems
that in producing this vapor there is an
unnecessary waste of fuel. OF the
hundred atoms of energy in a definite
quantity of coal. only fourteen are util-

bi-sulphide of carbo1l-a fluid, by the
way--is far more economical, because it
utilizes eighty atoms out Of the hun

enormous value of the new motor. 1t

Colonel Ingersoll's Lecture.

A larger audience was at REM
Snaw Opera House last evening than
night before to hear Col. Ingersolrs
lecture on "What must we do tn ha
saved" Time and space forbid more
nan mere mention of the subject,
Ills discourse was marked by the
'olty oratory, apt illustrations, wit,
rldicule and well rounded periods
which are characteristic of the great
orator. In a few words he presented
bis belief. He believed in the religion
OF good fellowship; in intellectual
hospitality; in entertaining liberal
idea and sitting down by the f1eside
and talking with it; in the religion
Of humanity; in the religion
home; IN the religion of love
and in the religion of liberty.
He laid great stress on each and par
ticularly emphasized the last. He
believed God would forgive those who
forgave and would be merciful to the
merciful. He again disclaimed
any intention to fight men but
declared an undying war upon
creeds and the isms of churches. He
believed one good plow was worth
more to mankind and did more good
than all the prayers ever uttered.
He b-lieved in the liberty of thought
Men should think for themselves,
and not let others think for them.
But where there was one logician
there were hundreds of statesmen,
poets and warriors. This was wrong
and he Impressed upon his hearers
tho necessity of their cutting loose
from creeds, and exercise liberty Of
thought as well as liberty Of action.
During the whole lecture, lasting over
an hour and half, he was listened to
with marked attention, but was fire.
quently interrupted by vigorous dem
of approval by fhe audi
ence. This afternoon, Col. Ingersoll
will lecture at the same place.

The Solution OF How to Make
Home Happy.

The people of Butte have just felt
the electric thrill of that nlatchiess
eloquence that has made Col. r. G.
Ingersoll the brightest star in the bril-
liant galaxy OF living orators. How
ever much we may disagree with
him as to the authenticity of the
bible. none can fail to recognize his
towering genius in its transcendant
flights of oratory and consummate
logic. There Is perhaps no other
man on the American platform to-
day who can so largely influence
public thought and 80 deeply stir the
impulses that o-long to men. His
beautiful pictures of life and his still
grander conceptions of that which
lies beyond the stars are sparkling
gems in the crown of happiness, for
the possession of which. no mar. need
be ashamed to try. How to make
home happy, is a theme in which Mr..
Ingersoll most delights. and it is not
only captivating because of its beauty
but it al-o appeals most strongly to
that sense of duty which none can
afford to disregard, particularly when
the solution is made 50 easy because
of the advantages of our clearing sale
