Fuel bricks Of crude petroleum are
extensively used in the Italian navy
and are made as follows: The mix
ture, which is made in the proportion
Of - pints Of petroleum. 10 per cent
of resin, 81 ounces Of powdered soap
and III ounces of causticsoda, is heat
ed and stirred at the same time. So
i%diication begins in about 10minutes,
and the operation must then be care
fully watched. If there is a tendency
10 remain liquid, a little more soda IS
added. After the mixture has been
stirred until the mass becomes nearly
solid the thick paste is poured into
the molds, which are placed for 10
or Is minutes in a drying stove. The
briquettes. which are of thesames size
and form as those largely used in
France and Germany, are then cooled
and are ready for use in a few hours.
Signor Maestracci recommends the
addition Of 20 per cent of wood saw
dust and 20 per cent Of clay or sand,
which make the bliquette both
cheaper and more solid. In trials
made at Marseilles ON several tug
boats the petroleum bliquettes fur
nished about three times as much
heat as coal briquettes of the same
Size. They wer burned in the ordi-
nary boiler furnace without any spe-
cial preparation, gave out very little
smoke and left little or 10 ash. -Phil-

Professor Stevenson u.S Coss.'ivt,j X Ven
derful Invention After Yoars Of LaDor.
Professor e. E. Stevenson, a well
known educator and writer Of Qaincy.
Mass, announces the completion Of au
invention on which he has been laboring
for years, which, no says, will revolu-
tionize the present methods of obtaining
motive power. Professor Stevenson has
pursued his Investigations and expert
ments in Quincy all winter and has at
last brought his idea to n head. Profess
OF Stevenson said: "The forces which
have thus far been utilized by the genius
Of man are the laws of g%ravitasion aud
chemical reaction. In the broad field Of
research and investigation we find the
possibilities Of the future in molecular
attraction, musical vibration and tie re-
fraction Of light.
ITO understand the theory on which |
have been laboring you misunderstood
the correlation Of forces or the transluu-
tation Of energies. We use force 20 pro-
duce light. 1t is upon the reverse Of
this theory that have labored, and my
experiments are at last proving satisfac-
tory. have found that the heat Of an
ordinary kitchen stove generates energy
sufficient, if controlled, to drive the ma
chinery Of the PIllsbury mills, and the
lamea of a Bunson electric burner would
furnish power to light by electricity 1000
lights"
In Professor %Stevenson's experimental
machine. however, the heat of the sun
alone has been used. This machine con-
sists Of three brass cylinders connected
by means IF tubes and valves with a
glass reflector behind tho central cylin-
der. A piston moving literally connect
ing with n balance wheel gives the mo-
ton. The shaft on which the balance
wheel hangs passes through the end Of
the machine and contains a drive pulley,
which makes the force available. This
machine is operated by the sun, working
with great rapidity.-Boston Journal.

Next to the disadvantages of hay
ing too little money is the misfortune
of having too much" said a retailer
to me. BY this l mean that the man
who is too closely run n his business
for ready cash is apt to press claims
which it would really be to his adj
vantage to allow to stand a little
while longer, whereas, on the other
hand, where a firm or an individual
has too large a bank account there Is
grave danger that accounts which
should be collected will be allowed to
stand until for some reason or other
they become uncollectable altogether.
AS to just what is the propermethod
to pursue in regard to this matter of
collecting bills it Is hard to say
