Another smoke consuming device has
been invented by a Pittsburg man, and
q il is to be introduced in a number Of the
Pittsburg boats. John Barclay, engin-
eer Of the towbOat, Hornet No. ?, be-
longing to Captain Marsh Mcdonald,
has been experimenting for several
months on the furnace Of the Hornet.
His idea has been TO introduce cold
blast or blasts of air into the tirebOx in
stead of hot air or jets Of steam as has
been the practice In other smoke con-
sumers. He met with but Indifferent
success until recently, when he proved
that his theory was correct one. The
device consists simply OF number OF
tubes about / y inches in diameter and
nine or ten inches long extending
through the sides Of the iirebox, thus
making an opening from the interior TO
the outer air. The difficulty was to To-
cate the exact points where these open
ings should be made. These have been
definitely determined, and on this point
the patent is based.
There are 13 Of these openings In the
Hornet, so placed that perfect cOmbus-
tion is obtained. There is a very strong
thrush of air when the fires are started,
and so perfect is the combustion that
al the gases Of the fuel are burned and
not the faintest shadow of smoke issues
from the stacks. So say the river men
who have watched the progress OF the
experiments with great interest.
The Hornet has made five trips to
Cincinnati since the adoption of the
smoke consumer aud careful test was
made. The result was that saving Of
1000 to 500 bushels of coal during the
trip was noted, as we'll as the fact that
steam was raised and regular press
ure maintained with much greater ease
than under the old system. In conse-
ouence of this a saving OF time amount
ing TO from 10 10 IA hours was made
during the trip.

Beaver and several other boats nave beer

Others have investigated the working Of
the system with the Intention OF adopt

MAY MISS THE CROWN.


"A Tide OF Opposition Rising Against
English Monarchy.
a. STORM is rising around the Prince
of Wales fast and gaining in intensity,
sendangering his chances of succession
to the throne, if not the existence Of the
English monarchy. No class appears
to be stirred so deeply as the great mid
die class, the real strength of the mon
archy. Wherever Its voice becomes
audible, its earnest denunciations Oh
the prince are accompanied by regrets
at his nearness to the throne. Repre-.
sentative gatherings of religious bodies,
Congregational, Methodist, Baptist,
Unitarian and Presbyterian, have al
ready recorded their condemnation. The
boards Of guardians are going out OF
their accustomed paths to discuss mo-
tions branding the gambling propensi-
ties of the Prince of Wales as disgrace
to the country. Several liberal societies
have adopted protests against his con-
tinuance in the army. Ere long the
glowing tierceness of the popular heat
must penetrate to the core of politics,
causing party action within and without
parliament. No event of recent times
mas done so much to discredit monarchy
in England as the connection of the
Prince of Wales with the baccarat
scandal.

In the Presence of the Emperor.

Templehof in the presence of the EN-

men were being put through their exer.
cises a vivid flash of lightning, followed
by deafening thunder clap, startled
and half blinded the men on parade and
hurled number Of them to the ground.
When the men who had not been struck
by the electric fluid had sufficiently re-
covered their presence of mind they went

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

The bribery cases of O'Mally and
McCrystal were called at New Orleans
and McCrystal was placed ON trial first.
A jury was obtained and the tales juror,
McCabe, told how McCrystal called on
him and told him he could make some
money in the case. He told McCabe he
could make $500 by going on the jury
and working for mistrial or acquittal
of the defendants. McCabe refused
the offer. The district attorney wanted
to introduce evidence of confession
made by McCrystal while in jail, but
Judge Baker refused. The case was
given to the jury and a verdict of guilty
was soon returned. The ruling of Judge
Baker, refusing to admit the confession
of McCrystal, saves O'Mally in this case,
the only one connecting him directly
with the bribery cases. The court will
now be forced to try him upon one of
the other charges, if at all, and they are
all cases of several years ago. Charles
Granger, another of the HenneSsy jury
brbers, was tried for attempting to
bride AlphonSo Lebarc. The latter
said the morning after he received the
summons Granger came to his house
and offered him $500 to go on the jury
and "work it," Changers defense was
general denial. After being out sew
eral hours the jury failed to agree and
miStrial was entered.
DISPATCHES from several points along

Dakota's Artesian Basin.

Prof. q. Z. Culver, superintendent of
the government irrigation survey of
South Dakota, has returned from the
north part of state, where he had been
to make observations to ascertain the
extent of the artesian basin and to find
out how far west and north wells can be
secured which will do for irrigation pur-
poses. He found the basin extended
west to Pierre and north to the north
line of the state. In all this area, how
ever, it is not suitable for irrigation pur-
poses. He thought wells could. be put
down at Pierre which would answer the
purpose, and that irrigation was practi-
cal as far north as Gettysburg. This
extends the basin of irrigation over o
much broader country than it was at
first thought to cover. Prof. Culver has
now gone to the Hills to find if possible
the actual source of supply which must
be somewhere in the foothills or noun
tains. Col. NettlesOn is busy at Aber-
deem and Huron getting the basins,
canals, ETC., in readiness at the stations
there, where irrigation will receive. its
first actual test under government
supervision, and expects to have every
thing in readiness as soon as was first
expected. There are now 200 artesian
wells in use in South Dakota and all
are working satisfactorily, but of course
as yet the whole matter is an expert
ment and will be so until the supply is
determined.

THE DOMINIC BEREFI
PASSING AWAY OF SIR JOHN
MACDONALD.

At the Zenith OF His Fame When the Sum.
mons Came--frief Retrospect OF His
Long Public Lite Champion of Nom
archy and Federation and Chief Figure
in tanalian Politics.
1t Is very long since any other man
held place SO peculiar in the Affairs of
any country as Sir John A. Macdonald
has won for himself In the affairs OF the
Dominion of Canada. There is not, nor
has there been in modern times, q man
In the United States whose demise could
seriously disarrange the settled policy of
the country. No such man now lives in
England. The political obscurauion of
Bismarck did not disarrange the ro'i Y
of Germany. There is no man now liy-
ing in France whose death would cause
q Jar or pause in the motion of the
political machinery of the country. But
the death Of Sir John will leave the
Tories of the Dominion without a leader.
While his life was devoted to the service
of Canada, he was for many years one
of the foremost men in the British En-
pire, distinguished above his fel ows in
those vast colonies Of Britain that girdle
the earth.

of Sir John A. Macdonalds long public
life is to review the whole history of

Scotchman, but he became identified
with the affairs of British North Amer
lea before the patriot war, commencing
the practice of law in Kingston in 1886,
