In buying farm for. a family home
two things are so frequently overlook
ed and are of so much Importance that
we would impress them upon the read
err. The first is the drainage about
the dwelling-house. No family can be
healthy and happy unless its dwelling
is situated on a spot whence the drain
age is good. On not few farms the
dwelling has been located where the
drainage is very poor and can not be
much improved The person who To-
Gated the house may not have cared
for drainage, or may have thought of
greater moment the advantage of T. lo-
cation near spring or grove of trees
or something else. No fertility of the
land or ''bargain" by reason of low
price will justify man putting him
self and family in dwelling from
which the drainage is imperfect. Sick
ness and death, with the attendant suf-
fering and expense, will make the farm
a bad bargain, no matter how low the
price or fertil the land.
The other thing is the intellectual
and moral character of the neighbor-
hood; for no man can afford that he
and his family live among unintelli-
gent, immoral people. To no small
extent your neighbors will mold the
characters of your children; if you
would have bright. intelligent, respect
able children you must have neighbors
of the same sort. In the country we
must look to our neighbors for social
intercourse; and, unless they are as
they should be, we must live like her.
mits, or associate with people whose
companionship is uninteresting while
it is harmful. Land in a good neigh
borhood may cost somewhat more, but
it is nevertheless the cheaper. Land
where there are not good people, and
the good roads, schools, churches and
books that these people will have, is
always too dear for wise man to buy.
1t is also worth while to take care to
get near church and school-house.
One-fourth of a mile further from
church and school-house means many
miles more travel every year for youl
children, sometimes when the winds
are fierce and cold, or the snow il
deep; sometimes, also, the children
may be kept altogether from school OF
church for many precious days. These
things merit the consideration in buy.

machine is used for getting rid of accumu-
lations of ice and snow. and does its work
most effectively. The device consists of a
small steam engine, which drives blower, the
Sturtevant noiseless type being used, and a
tank or reservoir, in which, by means of the
forced draught thus supplied, an intense
heat from coke is created, which makes
short work of all the ice or snow which can
be fed to it. In operation the machine,
which is noiseless and emits neither steam
nor smoke, is drawn by pair or more of
horses, as the condition of the ground may
permit, to street corner, and teams are set
to work hauling snow and ice to it from
short distance each way. say on block in
either direction, and as soon as that space is
cleared the machine is moved to another
corner, and so on until the work is finished,

hot through the sewers.

Distiilation of Absinthe.

The distilIation of absinthe is becoming
an important industry in France. The
upper leaves and twigs of the wormwood
plant are macerated with hysop, calamus,
citronelle. anise. funnel, badiane and other
vegetable substances, and the decoction
thus obtained, after having been distilled,
treated with alcohol, sweetened and COL
ored. Absinthe is a powerful but de-
structive nerve stimulant, which may be
valuable in cases of exhaustion or extreme
fatigue, but, like chloral and opium, it is
liable to abuses, which, in the aggregate,
far outweigh all the benefits which are de-
rived from its legitimate use. Other profit
able industries, peculiar to Southern France,
are the distillation of essential oils from
wild aromatic plants, the manufacture of
perfumes from cultivated flowers, and the
preparation OF preserved fruits by the pro-
cess of crystalization. Each has been built
up in its separate locality, and become
practically monopoly. The same may be
said of the manufacture OF the celebrated
liqueurs, benedictine and chartreuse. A
fabulous sum was recently offered to the
monks of La Grande Chartreuse, not for the
secret OF the manufacture, but for the right
to use the original labels and bottles which
are the guaranty of the genuineness and
purity of the liqueurs.

parlor Car, for stree. Car Lines.

Parlor cars, to run at intervals in connec-
tion with the regular service of important
street car lines, are under consideration in
different parts of the country. The neces-
sity for such accommodation has been ques-
toned, but It is patent that there is as much
reason in having parlor street cars as parlor
railway cars. One side Of the case is con-
cisely put recently by writer id one of the
New York daily papers. Precisely why I
should be compelled, says he, ''to ride in
close contact with man whose clothes are
dirty and whose habits are vile, simply be-
cause he is 'iust as good as I am, has moth
ing to do with the case. Men are entitled
to all they are willing to pay for in this
life, and if special cars at higher rates of
fare are placed upon our roads, elevated or
surface, it will be an advance much ap-
proved by common sense"

Steam Storage Car.

The progress made in recent years in
electric and cable car propulsion has had
the effect of stimulating very materially
the development of steam traction. Of this
a notable illustration has just appeared in
the form of a steam storage car, which is
motor, involving, as its name indicates, the
storage of steam to be used as required.
This is accomplished by injecting steam
and hot water into a reservoir, where the
pressure can be safely raised to nearly 1000
pounds, and these tanks are heavily
jacketed to retain the heat. None of the
steam escapes into the air, but is condensed,
and can be again injected into the tank.
There is no noise from escaping steam, no
cinders or smoke, and the machine or motor
can be operated by anyone. 1t is claimed
that by the use of these tanks the motor Can
be run nearly so miles, and then the tanks
can be recharged in the short space OF two
minutes. The only plant required aside
from the motors is stationary boiler,
located at suitable point, from which
new supply of steam and hot water can be
taken when needed. The points aimed at
in this motor are the elimination of the
elements OF noise, smoke, cinders and gas,
and by generating steam in one large boiler
to secure the great economy, which, as COM
pared with a number of small boilers, is
said by experts to exist. The danger of
explosion is also avoided.

In view of the reputed large increase in
morphine consumption in this country. it is
of interest to note the recent action Of the
Congress of Legal Medicine in Paris. The
use OF morphine has reached such an alarm
ing pitch in France that actual deteriora-
tion OF the race is threatened, and with the
purpose of restricting as far as possible the
facilities for obtaining the drug, the Con-
gress has passed resolutions, and asked that
they be sanctioned by legislative authority,
to the effect that ~ wholesale druggists
and chemical manufacturers shall sell NOR
phine ana cocaine to pharmacists only, aud
deliver the poison at the buyers house. (2)
Pharmacists shall dispense only once, un-
less the contrary be mentioned by the pre-
scriber, prescription containing either
morphine or cocaine"

The advent of the English compound loco
motive in America has had the effect of
stirring up considerable thought and some
action in the matter At least two Iocomo-
tive works in the country are each building
a compound engine for trial purposes This
is what is needed for satisfactory compar-
ison of compound with simple engines, as
the engines will be of the American type,
with the exception of being compound. If
it is demonstrated that the compound loco
motives will do the work with less fuel, and
otherwise work satisfactorily, there are
parts of the United States where the cost of
coal would make their use a matter of q
good deal of Importance. Engineers will
be strongly interested in an impartial trial
of the two systems.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL NOTES
rPREPARED FOR THE D1sPATcH.l

Readers of The DISPATCH who desire
information on subjects relating to indus
trial development and progress in mechani-
cal, civil and electrical engineering and the
sciences can have their queries answered
through this column.
DR.. Kunze, of the University of Kiel,
has lately given some of the results Of his
investigations on the effect OF dust inhala-
tions on the lungs. He says that the de-
gree of alteration in so-called "dust-lungs"
depends not merely on the quantity of dust
inhaled, but also on its greater or less
morphological power of injuring the tissue.
He concludes that even the greatest altera-
tions in these lungs-such as nodes, indura-
tions and vomics-are mainly produced by
the inhaled dust, and that tuberculosis is
only an occasional coincidence. The least
serious alterations in the lungs resulted
from the inhalation of lampblack, the par
ticles of which are very fine and little in
furious; the most serious from the dust in
hailed by earthenware manufacturers and
stonemasons. The lungs of a locksmith
showed only moderate hyperplasia of con-
nective tissue, the dust consisting partly of
the finest particles of iron. In worker in
oxides of iron the lungs were found full of
small granules, and t 9 morbid changes in
the tissues were very considerable. The
lungs OF gold miners were generally in
durated and atrophied; the dust in these
cases is exceedingly fine. Sand produced
numerous circumscribed hard nodules and
thick indurations. In cloth manufacturers,
the lungs, in spite of their contact with an
enormous quantity of organic dust, present
ed but few indurations. In the lungs of
two stonemasons indurations and tubercul-
Gus disintegration were observed; all the
other lungs submitted to examination were
entirely free from tubercles of any kind
an observation which was verified by the
absence of bacilli in the muco-pus in the

Cost of Operating Storage Battery Cars.

Cost oil operating storage battery cars.
The Julien electric cars have now been in
regular passenger service for little over
two years; and report has just been pre-
pared of the cost of motive power during
that time. The motive power includes the
renewal of batteries, the wear and tear on
motors and machinery, the generating and
storing OF the energy, and repairs and re-
placements generally. The cost of motlYe
power has been a trife less than cents per
car mile; in this, the cost of maintaining
the batteries has amounted to So cents per
car mile. 1t is interesting to know that the
estimate of the cost of motive power as
based on the experiences OF the Julien Com
pany on the Fourth and Madison avenues,
New York, and prepared prior to the report
at Brussels, and without any knowledge of
the cost there, is within traction of being
the same. The Julien Company find the
cost of motive power on Madison avenue to
be 5.3 cents per car mile. In the cost of
motive power as estimated in New York,
however, was included interest on investment
amounting to 1.8 cents. or 3 cents per car
mile net, including depreciation of battery,
cost of generating current and handling of
batteries

Novel Device for Clearing Bush Land.

An invention is said to have been patent
ed in New Zealand, and in other colonies,
which, if it does all that is claimed for it.
will reyolutionize the settlement of bush
lands. 1t is a composition which, when
trees are inoculated with it, mingles itself
with the sap and circulates through every
branch and Leaf, utterly destroying the lite
and rendering the standing tree in three
months time dead and rotten, and SO sohighly
lnfiammable that when fred it burns away
literally root and branch, for the fire creeps
down the roots into the ground, consuming
them SO thoroughly that the land
can be plowed afterward. 1t is
available also for old stumps, do
ing in a month what nature takes years to
accomplish. The process of inoculation is
simple. 1t is the boring of a hole about six
inches into the tree with an inch auger, fill
ing with composition and afterward plug
ging with cork, tough clay or other suitable
substance. 1t is also very inexpensive, cost
ing only few cents even for large tree.
