Powdered Coal.

The smokeless combustion OF powdered
coal, which has recently become an impor-
tant fact in Europe, is greatly facilitated
by the adoption Of a new automatic mech
anism and other arrangements. The fuel,
instead Of being introduced in the ordinary
manner, is first ground to a powder, and in
place of the ordinary boiler firebox there is
a combustion chamber in the form of a
closed furnace lined with friedrich and
having an injector similar in construction
to those used inoil burning furnaces. This
chamber has two openings-one on the
center line and in the place of the usual
furnace fire door and the other on the ep-
posite side. The orifce of the nozzle is
placed in the latter aperture and throws a
constant stream of fuel into the chamber,
the nozzle being so located that it scatters
the powder throughout the whole space of
the firebox. When the powder is once ig-
nited, which is very readily done by first
raising the lining to high temperature
by an open fire, the combustion continues
in an intense and regular manner under
the action OF the current of air which car
ries it in. This current is regulated by the
amount of powder required for the produc-
ton of the heat led off to the boiler and
the evaporation of the weight of steam de-
manded. New York Sun

lish writer. have not included Marechal
Nisl, as it can only be grown to perfection
In greenhouse, and in such a selection it
would stand high. Of tea roses to grow as
bushes the following are to be recommend
ed: Catherine Mermet, Isabella Sprunt,
Niphetos, Souvenir Elsie, Sunset and W.
Allen Richardson. The tea roses do not
produce such large, snowy blooms as the
hybrid perpetuals, but they are very deli
cately scented and choice and neat in FORM
They are well adapted for making bou-
quets and buttonhole flowers.
The most commonly grown roses are the
hybrid perpetuals, and they are such a
numerous class that it is difficult to select
few from them without leaving out very
many good ones, but the following will
give satisfaction whether grown in a large
or small collection: Alfred Colomb, Centifo-
liza Rosea, Charles Lefebvre, Dupuy ia
main, La France, Marie Baumann, Madam
John Lang, Mrs. Harry Turner, Marechal
Valiant, Ulrich Drummer, Horace Vernet
and Earl of Pembroke. Newer varieties
than these could be named, but they are
more expensive, but not better for general
culture. Those named are all fragrant
roses, but some sorts are very deficient in
this merit.--Garden and Forest.

[Kennebec Journal

[kennebec Journal
A week ago the Journal called the at
tention of the public to the extreme
probability thar the State chemist has
found poison in the remains of VIM. H.
Getchell of Sidney, and was withholding
his report until the authorities might
work upon the case.
AS was expected the chemist replied
that he had not made any report of his
Investigations, but would when they
were completed.
That was two weeks after he mad re-
ceiyed the parts for analysis. 1t is now
three weeks, and Saturday the coroner
who sent them had not received any
report or word from the chemist.
But had no one else?
1t would be extremely silly for the
officers of the law ito bestir themselves
in connection with the case, as they had
been doing for weeks or more, running
up bills" unless they had an intimation
that poison had been found.
Wouldn't it?
That's the question Journal reporter
asked one of the county officers Satur'
and, was it only suspicion? wlnked the
other eye. Finally he admitted it looked
that way.
Not only have the officers been en-
deavoring to trace poison, but a particu-
lar kind of poison-stry chnine-the kind
Of poison by which it was feared Getch-
ell had met his death. 1t will perhaps be
remembered that young man by the
name of Fowler was present at the death
Of Mr.. Getchell. His statement has been
taken the past week and in his state
ment,s it is said, is statement to the
effect that when Getohell was sick and
they wanted some liquor to give him and
took the gin from the medicine bottle,
the sulphur had settled, the sick man
had complained that it was bitter. If, as
is feared, there was strychnine in that
bottle, and a few doses of it enough to
kill Getchell, the medicine must have
tasted bitter
Others who have been examined are
Leforest Trask, whose name has been SO
often mentioned in the case, two near
neigh bors, Dudley Wyman and Joseph Z.
Nash, also brother of the deceased,
Ambrose Getchell. The widows state
ments have also been taken. Notwith
standing the physicians could find no evil
dence of disease which could have caused
death, Mrs. Getchel claims that since he
was sick in the fall, he had complained
of numbuess and heart trouble. She has
recovered from her illness, which she
has suffered the greater part OF the time
since her husbands death.
