Ships OF the AnoIents.

Large ships were not unknown to
the anCients, and some of the most
roomy attained dimensions equal to
ships of modern times. Nevertheless,
they were unmanageable monstrosi-
ties, almost at the mercy of wind and
wave, and utterl Y unfit to cope with
the fury of a hurricane. doubtless we
are indebted to travellers tales tor the
detailed descriptions that survive the
lapse OF ages. Constantine conveyed
from Heliopolis to Rome an obelisk
weighing l, 500 tons, and, in addition
to this long-coveted monolith, the
ship carried about 1000 tons of pulse
slowed about the smaller end OF the
obelisk, in order to bring the ship ON
an even keel.
In 268 B. c., Archimedes devised a
marvellous ship for Hero OF Syracuse.
Her three lofty masts had been
brought from Britain, whereas our
ships masts are OF iron, and obtained
from New Zealand, rfrom Vancouver
Island. Luxurously fitted sleeping
apartments abounded, and one of her
banqueting halls was paved with
agate and costly Siciian stone. Other
floors were cunningly inlaid with
scenes from the Had. Stables for
many horses, ponds stocked with live
fish, gardens watered by artificial
rivulets, and hot baths were provided
for use or amusements. Ptolemy
Philopater possessed nuptial yacht,
the Thalamegron, 312 feet long and
As feet deep. A graceful gallery, sup
ported by curiously-carved columns,
ran round the vessel, and within were
temples of Venus and OF Bacchus. Her
masts were 100 feet high, her sails
and cordage of royal purple hue

an insulated bottom 1 8 feet long, about
inches wide, and with the insulator
i inch or less thick AS the forward
end of the shoe touches the bottom
or brush OF one ofthe pendant switch
es it pushes it out OF plumb, and in
that way establishes a connection
through the switch with the insulated
urrent-bearing wire.
The switch is kept pressed at an
angle allowing free flow OF the cur
rent as long as the shoe touches it.
When the shoe passes the switch falls
back by its weight and the current is
cut off. But the switches are IL feet
apart and the shoe is 13 feet long, so
that before it let's go OF switch be-
hind the forward end has caught an
other, thus supplying continuous
current through the shoe up to the
motor in the car. The st. Louis road
will be done and cars running on it by
March 1, when Brooklyn and other
Eastern street railroad men will be
asked out to look it over. One ele-
ment in the cheapness OF the new
scheme, as claimed by its promoters,
is that there is practically no loss of
current in transmission, while with
overhead wires an allowance is made
for leakage OF 10 per cent in ordi-
nary weather, and in wet weather and
fogs the loss is much heavier, as every
one knows who has tried to talk over

wailIng Over Pensions.

Gen. Raum, pension commissioner,
says he finds the movement of his of
fee too slow, and will arrange to
dump" as he expresses it, 100000
original cases on the agencies of the
country by December, 1892. This is
not patriotism, but politics. tits part
of the game with which the Republican
party has made the country too IA
miliar. The war was closed twenty-siX
years ago. There can be no reason,
right or justice at this late date of issu-
ing 100000 original pension certificates.
1t is nothing less than bold robbery of
the national treasury for the benefit of
the Republican campaign fund, 1t is a
scheme to make the government provide
the money for bribing votes. Gen.
Raum will dump these cases on the
agencies this year for the very simple
reason that next year the Presidential
election is to be held and the Repub-
lican party will need all the votes
1t can buy. Is it any wonder
the farmers are complaining,
that workingmen are dissatisfied, that
strikes occur, when the money of the
people is thus squandered by the gang
of political iobbers in possession of the
government at Washington? Can any
right thinking man believe that these
100000 beneficiaries of the treasury
spoliation are entitled to the money by
any act of theirs in the service of the
government? Every man who had Il
valid claim upon the governments
bounty in consideration of his military
service was placed upon the pension
rolls years ago The people have paid to
them hundreds upon hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. Their obligations have
been cancelled. The whole pension
business is now merely the work of
political thieves and there must be an
end. The people cannot endure this
standing and ever-growing army of
pensioners. The burden has become
as intolerable as the plundering is in
famous. The only weak point of the
Democratic platform in Ohio is the
reference to the pensions, There
should be the most unreserved and en-
phatic denunciation of the robbery and
jobbery. The issue must be squarely
faced. The Democratic party should
take hold of the pension question with
unVioVed hands.-Avalanche

Burning Brick With Brownooal.

Burning Brick With Browncoal.
In Germany and Austria brown
coal in q raw state is used for burn
ing brick, stoneware and drain tile,
for which purpose it is preferred to
any other fuel. Brick cays md fire
clays are often found in close prox-
unity to the browncoal, and the man
ufacture of brick, fire brick and tiles, at
an extremely lowprice sthus rendered
practicable, and great number OF
mines have brick yards in connec-
ton with them by means OF which
they are enabled to make use of all
their coal, even what would other
wise be refuse.
At one of the large brick works on
the Rhine the experience OF several
years trial proves that o firing with
mixture of browncoal briquetres and
raw brown coal gave better results
in actual work than stone coal
alone, stone coal with briquettes, or
stone coal and raw browncoal, and
at the time OF my visit works were
just being completed for briquettng
their browncoal for use in this man
ner.
In using this earthly browncoal for
such firing purposes, or under steam
boilers and elsewhere, due attention
is given to the arrangement of the fire.
boxes and CRATES to suit the fuel Ii a
flat CRATE is used the CRATE bars are
made very narrow and with small in
tervals between each. The favorite
CRATE, however, is called the "treppen
rost," and is a CRATE arranged in
series of steps by which the air gets
proper access to the browncoal with
out need of blast sufficient to carry
AWAY the smaller narticles nnhnrnad
