ELECTRICITY FROM RUBBISH.
New French Invention That May Solve
DifiCult Problem.

New French Invention That May Solve a
Dinicult Problem.
Tho satisfactory disposal of the rubbish
and refuse of our large towns has for years
occupied the close attention Of engineers
ana sanitarians alike and various modes
of dealing with the problem have been ad-
Vocated and carried into practice, while
the statement furnished by reliable statis-
tics that London alone produces no fewer
than l, 800, 600 tons of refuse per annum
affords our readers some adequate idea of
the magnitude and Importance Of the diff.
iculty to be grapplcd with by local and
municipal bodies. Conveyance OF the ref
use to the sea has been practicod with sue
cess, but such mode is obviously too cost
ly for towns not on the soaboard, and un.
der these circumstances the adoption Of
the cremators, in which the rubbish is
wholly consumed by fire, has come more
and more into favor, SO that at the pres
Cnt moment the majority Of the principal
cities are either constructing or about to
construct the new refuse cremator Hith-
ertu the cremator has been deemed a nui
sance and an Improbable though neccssa-
ry burden to the taxpayers but changes
are now in progress which may turn even
the cromator to useful account
Much heat is evolved in the destruc.
tion Of the refuse, and the idea is gain
ing ground that such heat may be
largely and advantageously utilized in the
production of steam power and electricity,
instead of being permitted to run to waste.
The production Of furnace suitable for
the most economical combustion of all
kinds of refuse has necessarily required
much time and skill, and it was only after
20 years of close application to the problem
that the late M, Fountain de Livet, "a
French engineer, succeeded in securing a
powerful natural draft in furnaces with
out artificial means, and in consuming
rubbish without smoke or noXious fumes
of any kind.
1t is of course hardly necessary to add
one word of caution in regard to the i'm
vontion. 1t is not to be assumed that be
cause rubbish is burned the electricity
necessarily costs absolutely nothing. The
cost of plant, distribution of power and
many other expenses must not be lost sight
of, to say nothing of the labor expended
in collecting the refuse Allowing, how
ever, for all this, it is quite clear that an
invention which rids the community of a
great nuisance, and does so without Great.
ing further one in the shape of noXious
fumes and smoke, and at the same time
turns 20 good ACCOUNT the heat generated
must confer benefits on tho community at
large, and that the keen interest aroused
in the new adaptation is amply warranted
by the sound economic principles on which
it is based.-Chambers journal,

IL accordance with the advice Of ex-
Senator Edmunds, the maple sugar pro-
ducers of Vermont have resolved to insti-
tute legal proceedings against the United
States G 1vernment to recover the bounties
on the crop Of 1894, which the Secretary
Of the Treasury has refused to pay. Mr.
Edmunds's advice seems to be thoroughly
sound. The refusal to pay these bounties
is undoubtedly an act of bad faith Mr..
Edmunds declares that every cent of
bounty due under the Mckinley law is
collectible and can be recovered. There
are about four thousand maple sugar pro-
ducers in Vermont, whose claims amount
to more than 100000 They have law and
equity on their side, and will be justified
in pressing their claims to the fullest ex.

AFish Mnh nnls and Lnnrs.

The Academy of Natural Sciences has a
rare fish, which can boast Of a pair of
lungs in addition to the gills with which
nlone less favored fish are endowed. The
necessity of these two sets of breathing
apparatus is readily seen when the habits
of the animal are known. In Africa, where
the fish lives, it inhabits lakes and ponds,
which are often completely dried up dur
ing the dry season. As long as the water
remains the lung fish lives as do the other
members of the finny tribe and hrcathe5
by means of his gills, but when the ponds
dry up he burrows down into the mud
and makes n round nest where he lives in
