sMoKELEss COAL COMBUSTION
No Trace of Sn,udge Left by an In
vention Just in Berlin.

No Trace of Smudge Left by an In
vention just in Berlin.
The problem of the smokeless COM
bustion of coal is said to have been
solved by an invention which has just
been patented in Berlin and which is
thus described by Il German CORE
spondent of Il London newspaper: "At
the furnace door there is a movable
pear-shapcd apparatus. consisting prin-
cipally of Il fire chamber lined with
fire brick. One aperture of this llol-
low pear opens i'll the direction of the
axis of the boiler into the mouth of
the hitherto employed furnace, from
which the fire CRATES, fire bridges, etc,
have been removed. The hollow aper-
ture Of the hollow pear is intended to
admit a current of air. BY means of
an ingenious automatic continuance,
coal dust. supplied through "a funnel
placed above the current of air, is
continually conveyed into the curren,
of air and thence into the fire chamber
where it is Immediately brought into
combustion by means of a small tire
which is placed there. When this ha.
at once taken pace Tie coal last con
veyed by the current of air continue.

The current of air which brings til.
coal dust into the apparatus is reyulat
ed so as merely to convey the dus

air necessary for Il combustion is sen

angles and in radiating jets. BY thi
arrangement the coal dust and the nj
in the zone of combustion are intimate

speed of the current which introduce

A silent COnl.

A long suffering London Journalist,
whose nerves We're no longer able to
bear the noise made by putting fuel
on the fire from a coal box, recently
gave vent to an earnest prayer that
some inventor might be mercifully dis
posed to provide a silent coal box for
domestic sufferers like himself. A re-
spouse to this appeal is now recorded
in the shape of an ordinary coal box
lined with linoleum and falling on pro-
jecting rubbers, so that no slamming
is possible. Even the shovel has it's
case lined with felt, and is, therefore,
lifted out and replaced noiselesslv-

Some Hnrd Riders.

In australia, where population "a
sparse and distances are great, some
remarkable feats of endurance in
horse-riding are credited to the
cd police-feats more remarkable in
some instances, taking into account nh
the circumstances, according to the
London News. than those ACCOMPLISHED
by the winners in the military ride
between Vienna and Berlin. Trooper
Power in February, 1880, undertook
an arluous journey across a most in
hospitable country in pursuit of a
horse stealer named John Smith. This
Jealous officer Travelled 7GG miles in
twenty-six days without changing
horses. For IL stage Of eighty miles
he Was wholly without water, and tho
country was in such a bad state for
$50 miles that his two horses HAD
nothing to eat. His powers of ell
durance may be Judged from the state
ment that he did thirty miles Il day
on vermont horses, along long dry
stages and with bad water or no
water at all to drink. Trooper Will
shire on another OCCASION rode eighty
five miles i'll twenty hours on one
horse. This was On May 1S. 1887, two
days after the natives had "stuck
up Eriduna station. This same man
Travelled 100 miles in four days when
he heard that Il comrade named Slir-
ley had died of thirst. He did not have
macademized roads and plenty of fresh
water, like thu German officers. but
had Il hrci';,jg sim 10 endure. sand
bills to climb, "mulga" scrub to pene-
trate, and WAS sometimes compelled to
take dead animals out Of native wells
before he could use the WAGER.

lxecping Iron and Steel From Rust

A simple method of keeping iron and

ily rubbed off when desired. A coating
of more use where the tooth" impart-

LORD BUTE's HOME.
Probably the Most Palatial Resi-
dence in Britain.

Probably the Most Palatial Resi-
dence in Britain.
The rebuilding OF Mount Stuart,
Lord Bute's palace neal Rothesay,
Scotland, makes it the most magnifi-
cent residence in Great Britain. The
base OF the building covers q fraction
more than an acre, and is built in the
medieval Gothic style ofthethirteenth
century. The walls, turrets and bal
comics are built OF the beautiful varie-
gated GRANTEES and sandstones from
MISUNDERSTANDING, the floors and
arches being OF clouded Italian mar
bles. The main hall is constructed
entirely Of alabastar, the supports
being columns of oxidized brass and
bronze.
The gallery and grand staircase are
OF marble brought from Sicily and
Carrara. The drawing-rooms are
pnneled with alternate stripes OF
cherry, walnut ana ebony, all from
America. The main dining-room which
was built so as to accommodate 2SO
guests, is finished after the style of
the drawing-rooms, with the excep-
ton OF relief figures and mosaics OF
fish, game, animals, etc. The ceilings
and chimney pieces of these roomsa are
nest artistic, and So, also are the
windows, mantels and doors, the
work OF which is extremely elaborate.
There are three immense libraries
and Il billiard room, all with carved
stone tireplaces OF antique design. In
one wing there are Turkish and swim
ming baths, large Conservatives,
aviaries, aquariums, etc.
The whole palace is heated through
out with steam and hot.water pipes,
and lighted both by gas and e%lectri-
city. The pictures in the gallery
alone are worth 100000 and the
books in the libraries as much more.
The building, decorating and furnish
ing OF this palace, which is without
doubt the finest private residence on
the globe, entailed an outlay OF el,,
OoO, 000-nearly $4,000. DOC.
In the extreme eastern edge of Ari-
IONA there is a great. shallow. salt lake
in a bowl-like depression, the sink it.
, self being some hundreds feet deep and
< three miles across. The basin, all the
q portion of it not taken up by the lake,
r is dazzling white with millions upon
a millions of salt crystals. In the center
of he lake rises what appears to be
4 a cone-shaped volcanic peak. Should
# you take the trouble to ford the lake
you wi. find a miniature lake in the
middle of the peak clear as crystal.

The atmosphere of Magistrate
Schroeder's court hangs thick and
heavy this afternoon. while some
neighborhood troubles are getting a
thorough airing. The first case is one
in which Mrs. Mary Engel and Mrs.
Amelia Vastrange, residing on Fifth
street between Sixth and Seventh
avenues, are the principals. Neigh
borhoOd strife arose over some of their
children getting into trouble which
drew in the two mothers and a regu-
lar catch-as-catch-can wrestling bout
occurred in which neither had the
best of it. Officer Etzel took both of
them in. each on complaint of the
other and they are now engaged in
telling their troubles to Magistrate
Schroeder.
The other case is q complaint
sworn out by Mrs. Gilbert Murray
charging Mrs. Al Thompson with as
sault on little child of the formers
The case is all over children and will
probably be an interesting one. At
torney John Looney appears for the
city and William McEniry for the
defense.
