IL viii be remembered that short
time ago, In view Of increasing the
carrying capacity of the Suez canal. it
was determined to both widen and
deepen that international water. way,
and also, IL possible. to enable ships to
continue their journey through 1t by
night A scheme has now been form
ulated 70 carry the lighting OF the
canal into operation. The system
which has been selected, after con-
sideration Of electricity, oil, and gas as
light producers. is that OF compressed
oil gas on buoys and fixed standards.
The buoys lighted by oil gas have
been well tested now In various parts
OF the world. and can be made of SUI
licient capacity TO hold supply OF gas
Tor two months consecutive burning.
A further provision is found in the
lighting Of the ships themselves; and
before the vessel Is allowed TO pass
through the canal at night, the officers
In charge must be satisfied that 1t con-
tains the necessary lighting power.
This is TO consist OF a powerful head
light, capable OF throwing an electric
beam for thirteen hundred yards.
Each ship must also have another
electric light suspended over its deck,
which will give an all-round light fully
two hundred yards in diameter. A
very perfect system OF signaling by
means Of lights OF different colors and
different positions is also comprised in
the scheme. This system Of lighting
the canal may be looked upon as pro.
yisional until such time as II may be
absolutely necessary to carry out the
widening and deepening of the chan

English mechanical engineers are
devoting much studyto the thermo-
dynamics of the gas engine, and radi-
cal improvements In the presen. types
of such engines seem probable as the
result. Mr.. IL. Guthrie recently ex-
hibited at meeting of the Manchester
Association of Engineers model and
diagrams of an engine intended to
dispense with the water Jacket and 70
regulate the cutoff and power with
out cutting out whole strokes-twe
features in the lotto" engine which,
IL is claimed. cause a loss of so per
cent. in the efficiency and create un.
steadiness in the work. Mr.. Guthrie
claims ito save half the present loss
caused by water-jacketing and to get
out of one cylinder of given size
Just about three times the power of
the ordinary Otto~type engine" His
model Is designed for the use of the
ordinary city gas supply. but is
claimed to be equally well adapted to
the self-contained type 1.-THE so-called
"Caloric") by attaching 10 n gas gen
orator. BY this means one would not
only be freed from the monopoly of
the gas companies and trusts" but
the engine would have q much wider
field OF usefulness. A generator no
larger than an ordinary vertical boiler
would contain fuel enough for a
whole days work without recharging.
For street railway use such self
contained gas engine would possess
the advantages OF being practically
noiseless, Of emitting no steam, OF
making no smoke. and of putting In
70 the atmosphere only one-fourth the
noxious vapors per horse power now
sent from the present steam engine
furnaces.

The extinction of an ancient and
most serious nuisance In the great
alkali works OF Lancashire, England,
furnishes recent illustration Of this
utilization OF industrial wastes. In
the Leblanc process OF manufacturing
carbonate OF soda common salt is
treated with sulphuric acid and the
residue forms what Is known as ''alkali
waste" This Is mainly snlphide OF
calcium. which readily decomposes
with the evolution OF su1phureted
hydrogen, polluting air and water with
the odor Of rotton eggs, and making
the region OF the alkali works irtoler-
able After fifty years OF labor and
research this "alkali waste" Is now
rendered innocuous by a process which
yields pure sulphur, having an average
market value OF $50 ton.

is startling title, but it refers neither
TO kidnapping nor to any other form OF
crime, and the trial was not a judicial
proceeding. 1t was an experiment
with new appliances which had been

prevent, Ii possible. any dangerous
consequences to children straying on

TO have occupied the attention Of quite

About the Fire.

Owing to the early hour at which the
fire broke out Wednesday morning, a
full report of the losses and other in
cidents could not be learned. The
HERALD had all that could be learned
up to the time of going to press. Later
developments are liable to be even more
interesting than the report of the fire
itself. but as yet only rumors can be
heard. The fire started, it is alleged,
in MIR. Drosdowitzki & Bros clothing
store. This firm carried some jewelry
of priced variety and also kept a
few secondhand articles IN the gents
furnishing line. They are reported as
claiming to carry a stock valued at
SIS 600, which was insured for $500.
Suffice is to say that the balance of the
losers shrug their shoulders and blink
when asked how it was possible the
fire could catch at that hour. The high
wind which was blowing from the
south at the time assisted in it's
process Of destruction and gave the
firemen plenty to do to prevent the
flames spreading any further than they
did The ladies deserve favorable
mention for their tireless efforts.
