Az Wilmington 10 about to erect q
crematory for the consumption Of
garbage and other offal OF the city. it
may be interesting to know something
about how these crematorles do the
work at the Chicago Fair. The ques-
Itlon of the disposal Of garbage at the
fair was one that caused great anxiety,
as there was no legitimate outlet on
land or water, or any aid to be obtained
from the city for such purpose. The
problem was successfully solved by
W. s. McHarg. the sanitary engineer
Iof the exposition, who reached the
conclusion that cremation was the
only method that could be relied upon.
After examining the various systems
he adopted the Engle Garbage Crema-
tor, two of which were contracted for.
These were guaranteed to utterly de
stroy one hundred tons per day Of
garbage. miscellaneous combustible
waste, sewage sludge, and stable
refuse. At the same time the hydro
pneumatic system Of sewage was
adopted and installed In connection
with all the larger buildings, to con
lvey tho sewage from the closets ano
drains, and to deliver 1t. In the foru
Of compressed precipitate, to th'
cremators. ..'....
). During the progress OF the Fair.
thus far, the daily collection OF vast
has been from fifteen to bwenty tons
which has been destroyed by one fur
mace In about six hours time, usinl
only about one-tbird OF the capacity
of one furnace. and that for abou
one-fourth Of each day, although thu
sewage sludge and garbage often con
tains twenty to fifty per cent. o

The fact that large number OF PEN
sioners are excited about the recent
ruling of Commissioner Loohren. has
made the pension question ons of pa.
ramount Importance. and has called
forth lengthy letter from the Com
missioner, in which he explains some
things which seem not to have been
understood by the public generally,
particularly the fact that tho ruling
now so Severely criticised was by As
slstant Secretary Bussey under the
Harrison administration in January
lnst. to correc. an erroneous previous
rnling by Commissioner Raum. The
Commissioner says that he believes
chat tho pensions granted to soldiers
who did actual service in the field or
account Of disabilities OF service Origin
are unusually honest and well-de
served; that no doubt rests upon thest

are being made. except where evl

the rulings under tho act of June 9th

The Duke of Sake Coburg the elder
brother of The Prince oonsort-died on Tues
day night, ct a quarter to twelve, at the
Castle of Northumberland; from the effects
of a paralytic attack brought on by a chill
caught while out sba sug. The Duke was
primarily one of those VIII are BEST described
as everybody's cousin. He was brother-1n-
law to the Queen, unc o3 the Prince OF
Wales and the Empress Frederick. and great
uncle Of he present German Emperor. The
late King Ferdinand II of Portugal was his
cousin, and he was further connected
with the Royal House of Denmark with the
Houses of Orleans and Bou4 bon and with the
Brazilian Royal Family The question OF
succession seems as yet undecided. BY IN
heritance, the Duke of Edinburgh is now
Duke Of SAKE Coburg, but it has always been
said that he would abdicate III favour OF his
eldest son, a lad Of min cen, and therefore
for dylas c purposes age and thls was

A letter to the Times of Wednesday
gives most alarmist account Of the sharks
off The English coast. Sharks of such size
Is to eaIer them dangerous to human life
abound just now, says the writer, in the
western POI ton of the Channel. Two of
the sharks caught by the pilchard boats, were
over 9 fit. long AID a larger fish got away
with sixty fathoms of line. All this was
wi.lin two miles of the coast. The writer
ends by cautoning bathers, between Ply
mouth and Falmouth at least to avoid 2
very zeal and serious .isk. There are OF
course, always a few small sharks to be met
with il English W.. erS in the summer, but
they Sc 3om cause any trouble. We presume
the neat wave IS responsible fol their sp-
pealance in such size and NUMBERS as Long
Liner" reports.
