The Waste of Fuel.

Since in obtaining power from fuel by
means of steam engines upward of 90 per
cent is wasted in unused heat, while the
power obtainable for use represents scarce
ly more than 10 per cent. of the real value
of the fuel, under the very best conditions
the question arises whether there may not
be discoverable plan whereby much
larger percentage Of the real value of the
fuel may be turned to account as electric
ity, and through the latter as heat, light
or power.
This question has at present no answer
The subject has been alive in the minds Of
our most able engineers and inventors fol
years, and some have striven hard to find &
solution to the problem. Records of sci
entific discovery have been earnestly ran
sacked to find some clew, or, as it were, 4
guiding post to point the way for the un
certain explorer. 1t now appears that WI
may be compelled to await some new dis
covery, some new adaptation or some new
generalization before the way to the mucl
desired solution may be found.
The effect on the general industrial an(
economic development in electricity which
would follow the discovery of some not too
complex means for realizing an economy
of even 40 or so per cent. of the energy
value of fuel is indeed almost incalculable

1t has been said there are no tides on the
great lakes. Yet every seafaring man at
the city of Green Bay says there are tides
here. The Green Bay people are certain of
the tides, because they have seen them
and have been seeing them ever since they
lived here. The tides come in the morning
and evening, and are highest at a. m. and
Up. M. From until Tin the morning the
tide gradually comes in. After that time
1t begins TO recede and is at its lowest
point between II to $780, At the latter
hour the evening tide commences and it
rises continuously until Z in the evening,
when it begins to recede. The height of
the tide varies at times trifle, but it is
never less than five inches and seldom over
eight inches under ordinary circumstances.
Heavily1aden boats of large size are de-
tanned frequently at this point during low
tide waiting for the tide to come in. Cap
tains are so certain that there is a tide that
theywill wait for some hours to take adj
vantage Of its movement before attempting
to leave port.
is tide on all the inland lakes. 1t may be
too small to be measured, but 1t is there
just the same. Green bay is shaped not
unlike the Bay of Fundy, where the tides
on the Atlantic are compressed until they
rise to enormous heights. 1t is not un-
reasonable to suppose that tide of half an
inch or an inch from the wide stretch of
waters east and west, reaching several
hundred miles from Georgian bay across
Lake Huron, through the straits of Mack
mac, across the foot of Lake Michigan and
up the long, narrow bay, would be so COM
pressed as to be at last perceptible. 1t
would be impossible to measure so small a
a tide, and scientific men would be justified
in denying altogether the existence of a
lake tide. Wisconsin Cor Chicago Herald

The pitcher,s New Ball.

1t is often amusing to watch a pitcher
manipulate brand new white ball when
tossed to him in the opening inning or dur.
ing the progress of the game. They all go
through the same little performance pre-
vious to delivering the ball, the sole pur-
pose of which, they will tell you, is to get
good grip. To deliver new ball to the
bat without this bit of preliminary acting
would be considered evidence that the
pitcher was not in good trim. Upon re-
ceiving the ball from the umpire the
pitcher first examines it in critical man
ner. Convinced that it is regulation ball
without flaw, he then rolls it around in
his hands with great vigor.
Formerly he took up handful Of dirt
and rubbed it all over the ball, in order 60
render it a less shining mark for the bats
man, but the rules now forbid that. He
is therefore compelled to do the rubbing
with his hands, and this is done in an en-
ergetic manner, as though determined &c
rub the cover off. Having rubbed the ball
until all the dirt ON the palms of his hands
is transferred to the cover of the sphere
the pitcher looks around to see il all his
fielders, in and out, big and little, are alive
and in good spirits. Satisfied on this point,
he, gives the ball one parting rub, and with
a look which expresses great satisfaction
with its bright exterior, he finally throws
it.-Albany Argus.

Those were the words that
slowly fell from the lips
of District Clerk James P. Hart in
the district court room yesterday
morning about half past 8 o'clock. A
. few minutes before, the twelve good
men and tue, who had been selected
to try the case of Francisco Reynos,
charged with the murder of eS-Sherif
Hornsby, and who for the past two
days had been hearing the testimony,
filed in from the jury room and grave
took their seats in the box.
Theirs had been a grave task.
They had held in their
hands the life of a fellow being, but in
taking their oaths they had sworn
to perform the duty imposed by the
consider the testimony.
Their foreman, the youngest man of
their number, approached his honor
and handed him the verdict. He
glanced over it and then handed it to
Mr.. Hart, by whom it was read. The
court room was crowded, but while
the above was going on not a sound.
was heard. 1t was so still
that the dropping of pin
would have been quickly detected.
While The verdict was being read
Reynos sat in his usual seat behind
his counsel flanked by Sheriff White
aud Deputy sheriff Meredith. Not a
muscle moved; he understood not
what was being said. Mr.. Costa, the
interpreter, then approached him and
in low tone repeated to him in his
native language the words which
sounded the death knell. When the
reading was finished smile of in
difference and unconcern fitted
across his swarthy countenan ce
as he remarked "Buena'-it is good
after which he resumed his seat.
His honor then discharged the jury
and the defendant was taken back to
Jail by Deputy Sheriff Meredith.
When the same officer went after him
short time before he was found en-
gagged in game of cards with Muir
raw Brazeal, and when he was taken
back after the verdict had been read
to him, he picked up the cards and re-
sumed the game, seemingly having
not the slightest care as to the
awful tate which awaits him.
His counsel have two days in which
to file motion for new trial, which
will in all probability be overruled, as
the trial was conducted in the most
careful and impartial manner through
out. The case will then be appealed,
and as the court of appeals is now in
session it is likely that it Will be de-
.cided in very short time.

improvements for sleepinp Cars.

We notice that an attempt is to be made
to ventilate sleeping cars. The method
outlined is simple and promises success,
but the most encouraging feature of the
scheme is that it should have occurred to
the sleeping car companies that their
coaches are not already perfect in construc,
tion and management Perhaps it may
now penetrate their minds that the same
covering is not equally pleasant for their
unfortunate patrons in the tropical nights
of midsummer and in the arctic nights of
midwinter At present the sleeper" is
provided only with clammy linen sheets
and heavy double blankets.
1t would seem that in the prevailing
fashion of wooden clothing the companies
might think of furnishing pair of light,
loosely woven blankets, one or both of
which could be used as occasion required.
Such change, with a little pure air, would
make night in a sleeping car less hor-
rible experience than it is now.-New York

Good Conduct in journalism.

The rules that govern good conduct in
an individual are those that should pre-
vail in the offices of newspapers There is
news enough in the world in which the
public is rightly interested to fill the col.
umns of our newspapers every day in the
year, but the trouble is that gossip and
scandal are often more interesting than
matters of real moment. The rule of gen.
tlemanly conduct ought to be the rule Of
the editor and publisher-as happily It
very often Island, as Judge Wallace wise
ly pointed out, mere gossip and scandal
mongering are not excused by the answer
that the patrons of a newspaper want
what they ought not to have.-Harper's

upon ballot only once, amp mustbe
arranged under the name of the
party to which he belongs. This ap-
pears to be the proper construction OF
section "a OF the registration act.
Third-You ask in what manner
should the voter designate the candi-
dates for whom he votes. Should he
mark out the names of those not
his choice or should he place mark
by the names of those for whom he
votes, leaving the names of all other
candidates on the ticket. The law In
regard to registration of voters in GER
tain cities and in regard to
casting ballots in such cities left
in force many provisions of former
laws in regard to elections. Article
1897 of the Revised Statutes is still in
force and reads as follows: "No
ballot which is not numbered
as provided in Article 1894 shall
be counted nor shall either of two or
more ballots folded together be
counted, and where the names of two
or more persons are upon ballot
for the same office when but one per-
son is to be elected to that office, such
ballot shall not be counted TOR either
of such persons"
In this provision it is seen that If
the names of two or more candidates
for the same office are left upon the
ticket the ballot shall not be counted
for either candidate for that office.
If the voter simply places
mark by the name Of the can
didate for whom he desires to vote he
hereby leaves the name of all candi-
dates upon the ballot which is
not in accordance with the article of
the Revised Statutes quoted. The
safe action of the voter to take in
marking his ballot would be to mark
out with pen or pencil the names of
all candidates on the ii cket not his
choice. Any method by which the
voter marks off the Objectionable can
didates and leaves on the candidates
of his choice would be sufficient, but
the voter would prepare his ballot so
as to clearly leave upon it the names
only of the candidates of his choice,
with the name of candidate not his
choice plainly marked out. See

An Indifferent Officer.

A correspondent, writing of the late
Lord Strathnairn, says he was the most
indolent, lackadaisical, languid person
who ever dawdled along Piccadilly. When
he was devastating central India and win
ming the splendid victories that immor-
talized his name he was so lazy that he
could not be got to dictate the dispatches
recording his own triumphs. Months
elapsed before these documents could be
extracted from him, and then they were
day, when Sir Hugh Rose, he was enter
tanning gallant company to dinner dur
ing the crisis of the mutiny.
With the utmost sang froid he was de-
lighting those near him with one of his
best anecdotes. In the middle of it his or,
derby entered, and after saluting exclaim-
ed, 1--WE have captured 200 rebels, sir."
To him the general turned, and with that
elegant courtesy of manner on which he
prided himself, serenely replied, "Thank
you, sergeant" But the man still re.
manned. Again interrupting his chief, he
said, But what are we to do with them,
sir?"
"Oh," replied Sir Hugh, with soft
smile, chang them of course" and he re.
sumed his anecdote.
In little while Sir Hugh was again in.
terrupted in the middle of another story
by the sergeant, who came in and said,
please, sir, we've hung the lot, SIR" The
general turned, bowed slightly and in the
sweetest manner lisped, Thanks, sergeant
very many thanks" and then went on
with his anecdote as if nothing had hap
pened. This story came to the ears of the
queen, and she was SO angry that it nearly
cost Sir Hugh his peerage. -Million.
