CONSUMES THE SMOKE.
in Furnaces on the Ocean
Steamers.

NEW YORK. May 2S.-NO smoke issued
from the tunnels of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can steamer Grimm as it proceeded to its
pier early Sunday morning. The boat ar
rived here late Saturday night from Bergen.
Its furnaces consume all the smoke and
gases. The craft is fitted with furnaces
that so completely burn the coal and all
the products of its furnaces that it re-
quires 80 per cent less fuel to run il than
would be required with ordinary furnaces.
The Grimm was laid up for SIX weeks in
Hamburg before it proceeded to Bergen
and then to New York. There the old
furnaces were removed and the steamer
fitted with smoke consuming edifices.
There are six boilers in two seats.
Steam is generated IN them entirely by
the passage OF the burning gases and put
through their flues. The Grimm burned
only $50 tons of coal on the voyage offour-
teen days from Bergen. Under ordinary
conditions it would have consumed at least
500 tons. The Grimm averages about 1I1b
knots an hour. II carries only freight
and steerage passengers. FiTSt-class pas
senger liners consume an immense
amount OF coal in comparison with
that burned By vessels of the class of the
Grimm. The same principle applied to
them would result in large reduction in
the coal expense. Emil l.. BOas, General
passenger manager of the Ham burg-Amer-
can line. said if the report on the de vice
made by Captain Krecht and Chief Engi-
neer Lange of the Grimm was entirely sat
isfactCTy, it would be only question of a
few weeks before the new furnaces would
be used by all the vessels of the line. AS
sistaut Engineer Remsehl said the new sys-
tenn was successful. and that the chief en-
gineer probably would report in favor of
its adoption. Ii the smoke-Consumers are

ers the fuel bills will be decreased nearly
one third. The labor of the stokers will be
greatly lessened. The new furnace is of
simple construction. The coal is put in at
a door in the top of the furnace. 1t falls
upon a CRATE beneath, which is a tunnel
running out under the boiler anc finally
into the f1ues. Drawn by the power for
the draft, the smoke and gases from the
burning coal are conducted into The tunnel
beneath the CRATE. thence through the
boiler tube. They find their way through
pipe into the funnel, where they are
drawn into the furnace again. Thus all
gases and burned particles of carbon are
consumed. Fresh air is supplied from the
vessels tunnels. The top of the furnace
is cooled by means of cold water, which
irrigates the air compartment above 1t.

VARIETIES OF DEATH PENALTY.
The Guillotine. Garroting, Hanging
and Electrocution.

The most recent statistics on the sub
ject of capital punishment relate to its
efficacy as a preventive of murder. and
also cast light on the practice of the
various countries of the world, says the
Boston Herald. 1t appears that in Hol-
land there nave peer no executions since
1860, and the extreme penalty was
abolished in that country in 1870. The
Roumanian government abolished il in
1864, and Portugal has since taken the
same course. There is in Belgium
practically no punishment OF death, for,
though the law decreeing execution for
murder still remains on the statute
books, there has been no execution in
that country since 1868. The SWISS
have had a varied experience in the
matter. They totally abolished the
extreme penalty in 1874, but such a
marked incres sc in the number Of muir
ders followed that, in 1879, by a Federal
decree, the cantons recovered the right
of re-establishing the punishment of
death in their respective territories.
Seven of the cantons at once took
advantage of the permission but, though
they have recovered the right 10 hang
criminals If they please, it appears from
a letter written by the chancellor Of the
confederation in 1883 that down to that
date the sentence of death had o been
passed in any of the seven cantons. For
the remaining fifteen c~antons, including
more than four-fifths of the population
of the Swiss republic, capital punish
ment remains totally abolished. In other
European countries the death penalty has
also been given up, while in still others,
which retain il, there is q disinclination
to carry out death sentences. Russia
retains capital punishment only for po-
litical crime; common murderers are
eXiled for life to Siberia. In Austria,
during the years between 1870 and 1879,
only sixteen out of SOC persons sentenced
TO death were executed. In Sweden,
during the same period, nj of 80 sem
fenced to death, only three were exc
cuted; in Denmark, out of "a only one,
and in Bavaria, out Of 249 committed for
murder only seven were executed. In
North Germany, between 1869 and 1879
"a period of ten years-1,3 01 persons
were convicted of ''homicidsl crime"
and 4S4 of them were sentenced to death,
but only one was executed-Hodel, who
attempted the assassination Of Emperor
William, In the United States several
of the legislatures have done away with
capital punishment. Thus the extreme
penalty for murder does not exist in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Rhode Island and
Maine. But the States of New York and
Iowa. having abolished the death penal
ty, were compelled by the subsequent
increase of crime to restore it. The
methods of putting murderers to death
vary from the use of the sword or gull
lotine in Germany and France. gsrroting

parts of the United States to el%ectrocu-
