A Duct for smoke.

An original genius asks whether 1t has
ever been proposed to have a smoke duct
running through town connected with
the different furnaces He suggests that
such duct might be carried outside of
the city to condensing station, an ex-
haust machine being employed to force
the draught At the condensing station
the SCOT laden air might be made to pass
through water, and thus deposit the
solid matter, the air passing away COM
paratively pure, while the SCOT thus
deposited might easily be collected,
caked, and sold as fuel The size OF the
duct would have to vary. as in water

LANSING, Mich, April > The bill re.
curing that the upper berths in sleeping

in the senate yesterday, only eight sena

greatly increasing the taxes paid by the

over 81 per cent.
Three Per Cent. on Gross Earnings.
1t requires that the roads shall pay pei
cent. of their gross earnings, if less than
$4,000 per mile, and per cent. when in
excess OF that sum. The trainers of the
bill say the state treasury will receive

proceed to Chesapeake bay. where the
tests VIII be made. 1t Is fact that the
guns have never been tested with nitro
giycerine OF dynamite since they were put
on the vessel, bur in the last test of the
so-called dynamite guns on the vessel gun
cotton was used. Il has been a question
ever since the vessel WAS first talked Of
whether she would fulfill the conditions
given in her official register rs a dynamite
cruiser. and it was reported two years
ago that she was not likely to be tested
with any other sort Of explosive than
gun-cotton as the bursting charges o. her
shells
Call Her Gun Cotton Boat"
For that reason many officers ALWAYS
spoke of her as n gun cotton boat in
stead Of a dynamite cruiser. The vessel
was accepted by Secretary Whitney Just
before he went out of office, but on her
tests for speed and horse power only. The
contract stipulated that the vessel was to
be armed with ten-inch guns which would
project Jo0-pound dynamite bomb one
mile with accuracy, with 200 pounds pres
sure. A change was made to guns of if
teen inches, and the trials were had with
these. Secretary Tracy wishes to be sat
isied that the change from ten inch to
fifteen-inch guns was not made because
the ten-inch guns would not fulfill the
terms OF the contract, and that ffteen-inch
guns will not impair the efficiency of
the vessel
Not Up to Expectations
The act of congress of March ., 1855
provided for the building Of a second
dynamite cruiser, but the act stipulated
that the construction of the new vessel
should be made only after the secretary
of the navy shall be satisfied after official
tests made with the Vesuvius and her
guns, as to the efficiency of the armament
Of the vessel In the first trial the breech
of one OF the dynamite guns was COM
pletely blown out, and all of the other ex-
periments have fallen much below ex-
pectations. The secretary is anxious to
determine by further tests whether ne
would be warranted in expanding $3.50. OuO
for another vessel of the Vesuvius class.
and until he is satisfied no movement will
be made toward having another such ves-
sci built

Origin of the Trouble.

Talk OF iynching has been heard on the
streets ever since the murder, and the

to take the prisoner out and lynch him,
swore n a number of citizens as special

Makes Them Pay Heavy Duty.
He has decided that there is no law to
prevent lottery tickets from being admit
ted as printed matter, but he instructs the
customs officers to assess duty upon them
at the rate OF % per cent. ad valorem of
their face according TO paragraph 423,

provides for this rate of duty upon "all

it is thought, practically prohibit their
