sMoKELEss COAL COMBUSTION.
No Trace OF Smudso Left by an Invention
Just Patented In Berlin.

No Trace OF Smudgo Left by an Invention
just Patented In Berlin.
The problem of the smokelcss com
busition of coal is said to have been
solved by IN invention which has just
been patented in Berlin and which is
thus described by German correSpon-
dent of a Lond" 1 newspaper: "At the
furnace door there is a movable pear
shaped apparatus, consisting principal
ly of fire chamber lined with fire
brick. Ono aperture of this hollow
pear opens in the direction of the axis
Of the boiler into the mouth of the hith-
crto employed furnace, from which the
fire CRATES, fire bridges, etc, have been
renewed. The opposite aperture of
The hollow pear is intended to admit {.
current of air. by means of an in
Gcnious automatic continuance, coal
dust, supplied through funnel placed
above the current of air, is continually
conveyed into the current of mir and
thence into the fire chamber, where it
is Immediately brought into combus-
ton by means of 4 small fire which Is
placed there. When this has once taken
place the coal dust conveyed by the
current of air continues to burn in one
sir which brings the coal dust into the
apparatus is regulated so as merely to
convey the dust thither, whereas the
further supply of air necessary for q
combustion is sent into the zone Of COM
bustion at right angles and in radinting
jets. BY this arrangement the coal
dust and the air in the zone of combus-
ton arc intimately and thoroughly
mixed, while the speed of the current
which introduces the coal dust is dimin-
ishcd. It will thus bc seen that tho
combustion of the coal which this
method produces is extremely thorough,
for each particle of fuel floats in the air
and is brought into contact with tho
oxygen necessary for its combustion, SO
that it is totally consumed the moment
it enters the sphere of combustion. The
proof of it's being totally consumed is
seen in the fact that not even q trace of
smoke is pcrccptiblc."

AN ENLIGHTENED AFRICAN.

The King OF Dahomcy Has Grnwn Fond
of Topical songs and stage DIttioS.
An African potcntatc who enjoys rid
dies and topical songs is already far adj
vanced in the path of civilization. The
king of Dahomcy is reported by the
London Telegraph to keep half dozen
domestic "allpolos," or singers, whose
business it is to Tighten the monarch'S
gloom by dittics of an up-to-datc char
actcr, and by dropping fire OF con-
undrums 1t will thus be seen that the
medieval institution of the court jcs-
ter rcappcarS at the end of the nine
tecnth century in palace Of the Dark
Continent; from which 2 sociologist
will, perhaps. infer that our European
ancestors of five centuries ago were just
rs barbarops rs King Bchanzin and his
subjects are now. Bat Europe never in
it's palmicst days of picturesque saw
ugery produced musical Instrument
comparable to one which finds n place
in the orchestra of the swarthy ruler
whom Gen. Dodds recently defeated.
1t is called n "dourown," and is de-
scribcd as Il kind of guitar made of CO.
coanuts and snalleskins.
How melody is educed from such an
unpromisinG combination of materials
it seems somewhat difficult to under
stand. Noise, rather than concord of
sweet sounds, is probably tho chief
feature in n Dahomeyan concert and
with that end in view hollow tree
stumps arc converted into big drums
and gourds arc filled with stones to act
as rattles. Just at present it must be
rather difficult for the singers and
testers of Abomey to keep their mon
arch in good humor, sing they ever so
cunningly, and much care is doubtless
exercised to avoid any allusion to the
French in the topical songs submitted
to his majesty. Music, however, is the
earliest recorded cure for mclaucholia
and it may be equally efIicacious for
enabling the king of Dahomey to forget
the loss of his slaughtered Amazons

WILLIAMS KNOWIr
EDGE OF LATIN.

Emperor Williams love for the use
Of Latin quotationS-he is an excellent
scholar, due to his splendid training at
the gymnasium of CasSel-was illustrat-
ed again recently in his telegram to the
Berlin Regatta Wansee society. "NaVi-
care neceSse est, Vivere non necesSe,''
wrote his majesty in the course Of his
congra tulatory word. The saying, 1t
may be remembered is that of Pom
pey, and, is to be found in chapter fifty
Of Plutarch's biography. In order to
prevent Il famine n Rome IN the year
81, b. O., Pompey was empowered 20
import as much grain as possible to the
city. He had fifteen assistants. In or
der to assure the success Of his work he
went in person to Sicily, Sardinia and
Africa. When ON the pc II OF returning
home terrible storm broke forth and
the sailors refused to put to sea with
the load of grain. Pompey sprang into
one of the ships and commanded the
anchors to be raised, adding: 1T is
necessary that we embark; it is not
necessary that we live" This classical
remark is engraved over the entrance
to the famous "Schafferhaus" in Bre-
men.

TO MARRY A CHINESE OFFICIAL

SaSeu TO lunS i\Mal.
Springfield, Mass. Nov. 6.-ThCre will

mVnt just made public OF Miss May,
daughter, Of Mrs. Alfred V. Burnham,
living on Long Hill. to Yung Kwai, Il
mrmhcr of the Chinese legation in New
York. Yung <wai will be well re-
mcmbcrcd here, for he graduated ut
tine high school some years ago, and
afterwards went to YMe university
from which he was graduated with
the class of 81. He then entered on
official work for his government in
Washington rs an interpreter and then
was transferred to duty i'll New York.
He has recently done important service
i'll tranSlatin@ part of the works of
COnfuGiuS, which was read recently to
the congress of religions in Chicago
Ylmg kWai belongs to an influential
family in China and was regarded
with marked favor by the emperor.
He has, however, lived in this country
20 years and become considerably
Americanized.
Among the llloueEu lltlFONillOuS tldI
he adopted was to cut off his cue which
was regarded with great disfavOr in
his own country, although it is not
thought that he will be kept from re-
turning to his home if he so desires.
Some time ago the Chinese boys were
ordered to return. but Yung kWai with
several other felloW-countrymen ran
away and hid until it was too late to
get the steamer.
During his residence here he lived
with Mrs S. w. Vaille and was known
as a young man of unusual talent. He
was at that time attentive to Miss
Burnham, but there was great opposi-
ton to the match on the part IF her
friends and they insisted on some
time elapSing before a formal Ell
gagement should take place. AS tEat
time has elapsed and both the Drin-
cipals are of the same mind the mar
rage will probably be the result, al
though not for some time. Miss Burn
ham has been employed in GilPs art
store: is very attractive and has many
friends A school mate of Yung kwai
in this city recently married New
H; zen young woman.

Of every description is based upon
