tor Coal tn burning Limestone.
A Baltimore paper says: A new method
OF manufacturing building and chemical
lime from limestone, by using gas instead
OF coal as fuel, was tried for the frat
time at occkeysyille Monday, and, as it
proved q success, II promises to revolu-
tionize the old method as soon as 1t ID
more generally known. The trial was the
outgrowth OF experiments which have
been conducted for three years by ]. D.
! SlaymakeS OF Lancaster, Pa, and q. T.
Warner of Wilmington, Del, and was
made by the Ideal Lime and Stone Co.,
which for several months past has been
engaged in erecting queer looking kiln
about mile south of Oockeysville, near
the tracks OF the Northern Central Rail-
way Company.
Mr.. Warner Is the president, and Mr..
Slaymaker the manager of the company,
Mesers. Daniel Baker Of Buekeystown,
Frederick county, Md, and John Keller
of Lancaster, Pa, being the other stock
holders. The gas used in burning the
lime Is manufactured with one of Taylpr's
producers, one ton of coal yielding about
90 600 cubic feet of gas, which will burn
about AGO bushels Of lime.
by the use Of gas the products Of com.
huston do not come in contact with the
lime. Tbs gas is conveyed through iibrie
tluea to combustion chambers, where it Is
met with the air necessary to support
combustion. The air passes through a
nsries Of rsdiating pipes, which form a
chamber where the lime remains until il
il thoroughly cooled. The heat which
escapes from this burnt lime returns to
the combustion chamber, where II ia
again utilized. The kiln was fred at z
O'CLOCK Monday morning, aud by noon
the limestone opposite the mouth OF tho
combustion chambers was at red heat.
The burnt lime will be taken out in three
days
ahs kiln hss an outside diameter Of 10
feet and 10 90 feet high, being elevated SO
that small Car pas SEES beneath it and RS.
oelves the manufactured lime through O
pair OF ingeniousiy devised sliding doors.
The cars receiving the lime will bs moved
10 m elevator connected with the COOPER
shop and pseking-roOm, aud are then
hois'ed TO the second floor, where IL will
be. dropped into large hopper, from
witch 1t will pass over on inclined in
speetloD tables into barrels.
The stone is brought to the kiln by
means OF GERS drawn by cables, the long
est OF which is 1000 feet. The cables
are attached 20 towers. The capacity of
one kiln is about 400 bushels of lime per
day. Other kilns will be built as soon an
tes trade develops, and it is expected
that capacity OF 10000 bushels daily
will DO eventually reached. The coro.
pRny owns II aOIes OF land underlaId

sales are made. 1t says that this number
does not include drug stores, some OF
which hava o private drinking place for

other places in which liquor il suspect.

believe there is nothing in Maine quite SO
giaring as this, although it u notorious
that, in epits OF the prohibitory Law
there, liquor Is sold, with little or no AZ
tempt at concealment, in every CITY in
the state. Tho dehanos Of law in Prov.
dnnce, and in many other parts OF Rhode
Island, is more open, probably, than il ia
anywhere else in the country, and outi.
ons thing about 1t is that there appears
to be no strong public sentiment aQairss

circumstances, il practically comes 10

Wilmington Consumers OF Incnu-
descent Light Only slightly AT
fcciod.
The recent decision of tho United States
Supreme COURT, determining tho relation
OF foreign and American patents, by
which the Edison Electric Company Is q
gamer by several million dollars, will not
affect those using incandescsnt plants in
Wilmington and its vicinity to any very
large extent, as the Edison Incandescent
system is generally in vogue here. or
the electric plants in use in this State the
Edison covers about 1876 900, and the
only two others, the Sawyer-Mason and
Brush, do not cover over $l2 900 at the
highest estimate. There are only two
locations In thia city where ipcandesoent
plants not of the Edison type are in use.
By the decision of the Supreme court
the lessees will have TO make arrange.
ments with the Edison company IL they
wish to continue using the Brush or
Sawyer-Mann 1noandeseent plants. The
ruling of tho court does not affect the arc
light system.
BY the decision o number Of Eiison's
patents heretofore thought to be value
less are now Of fabulous worth. The
patents alone on what il known as the
system Of electrical distribution by multi
pie arcs covers every incandescent cleo
uric light plaat in the country, as 1t 10
impossible to run an incsndesoent plant
on any other principle. Injunctions
against the use OF inoandescent lights
under the multiple arc system are being
Issued by the Edison Company as fast
as they can be sent out.
