The new system of smoke COM
bustion adopted in some of the Eng
Esh plants Is reported as proving de-
cidedly satisfactory as compared
with previous arrangements. The
apparatus is fitted in furnace hav-
ing bars four feet long, the height
from the bars to the top Of the fur
mace being Is inches, and about
seven inches from the far ends of
the bars an arch is placed five inches
deep, by means of which the smoke
is turned downward upon and
through the fire.
Below the bars door is placed
three feet from the front, by means
of which the amount of draft allow
ed at the back of the furnace is regu-
lated and more equal proportion
forced up the front. By this door
the bars are kept cool. owing to the
additional quantity of air. and thus
preserved. and the air Is thoroughly
mixed with the smoke a. it passes
through the fire, thus assisting in its
combustion. The published state
ments in this case show that by the
use of such system "a saving of over
% per cent has been effected, the
quantity of smoke has been greatly
reduced and the residue from the
furnace in the shape of clinkers is
diminished so per cent.-New York

HEAD NOT NECESSARY.
Insects That Survive Decapitation for a
Long Time.

Most persons of an observing turn of
mind are aware of the fact that there
are several species of insects that will
continue to live without seeming in
convenience for some time after deca pi-
tation, exact knowledge on the length
of time which the various species of
insects would survive such mutilation
being somewhat vague. Prof. Cones
trim once undertook a series of expert
ments with view of determining that
and other facts in relation to the Won
derful vitality of such creatures. In
each case the head was smoothly re-
moved with a pair of thin bladed for
ceps. and when spontaneous movements
of wings and legs ceased he employed
sundry irritating devices, such as prick
ing, squeezing and blowing tobacco
smoke over the insect. As result of
these experiments, he aScertained that
members of the beetle family at once
showed signs of suffering, while such
as the ants, bees wasps, etc. remained
for hours unaffected. Some which
seemed stunned from the effects of the
operation recovered after time, and
continued to live and enjoy headless
existence for several days. Butterflies
and moths seemed but little affected by
the guillotining process, and the com
mon flies (diptera) appeared to regard
the operation as huge joke.

The bodies of some species of butter

after the head had been removed, but

demoralizing and destructive force.

ONE DRUNkARO'S REFORM.
The Good Results of a Little DISTINGUISHED
Kindness.

The following recital was recently
made to US by stalwart temperance
man:
L had been a drinking man for
twenty years, had ruined my chances
in life and made my family wretched.
l did not believe in God or humanity.
a whisky-soalled brain is not adapted
TO any noble form of faith, either for
this world or that which is to come.
One day about seventeen years ago,
when returned from the shop to my
little home, which was bare of almost
every comfort, to say nothing of lux
uries, my wife told me that lady had
been to see us, and left an orange
apiece for the three children and some
pretty cards, with Merry Christmas
for us all. Nobody ever came to our
house those days. and l was surprised,
for this lady was the wife of one of the
trustees in the great university, bust
ness man who stood very high, and she
had plenty of money, position, educa
ton and occupation. Indeed, she had
everything that we had not. So | sat
myself down to try to reason out some
bad motive for her coming, as it was
my custom then to look for bad motives
in people rather than good ones. But
as her husband was not in politics and
could not desire my vote, and as he was
not in any business where | could by
any means be of service to him, and as
neither he nor she could gain anything
from us, although racked my brain to
find something that they could gain,
was obliged to say to myself: 1t may
have been what Christians call the
Love of Godn and when l had come to
this conclusion my heart melted
little, and said to my self: If it is
true that there is such thing as the
love of God shall reform. and from
that day | have never tasted intoXicat-

of Drink.
The great principle of cause and
effect is not understood in the ordinary
discussions of inebriety The capri
cious and accidental and the apparent
is accepted as the real, and no effort is
made to eliminate or to discriminate
causes. Here. as elsewhere, occurs the
old mistake of accepting the mysterious
and supernatural as the real without
question or doubt. 1t is easier to call
inebriety a sin and moral disorder than
to inquire into the physical conditions
of the life of the person. The progress
OF scientific thought demands a study
of the relations of causes and effects
knowledge that does not include the
facts of the relationship Of causes is of
little value. The evils that we deplore
and seek to remove remain until we
find the causes and apply our remedies

human life the range of causes are so
complex, and the point of de-
parture from the normal is so
