OIL INSTEAD OF COAL.
The Question of Cost Apt To Prevent 9
GeneraIChange,I In This Country.

The coal famine on several railroads,
due to the strikes. has again tarned at
tention to the consideration of an avail
able substitute for COAL The use of Pc
troleum as fuel is no longer an expert
ment, and in the case of stationary boil
ers especially it has been attended with
a good degree of success. Several consid-
erations, however, that apply in the
case of stationary plants are of less. I'M
portance in the case of the locomotive.
The first successful use of oil as fuel
for locomotives was made by Mr.. Thorn
as Urquhart, Locomotive Superintend-
ent OF the Grazi-Tsartzin Railroad, in the
southeast of Russia; and since his plan
was first developed its use has rapidly
increased in that country. His method
consists simply in converting the oil in
to a spray by means of steam or COM
pressed air, and this, with some modi-
tcation, has been the basis upon which
most petroleum burners whether for
stationary boilers or locomotives, have
been constructed. The same system,
virtually, has been followed in the con-
struction of locomotive fire kindlers,
which have been used recently upon sew
eral roads with such success that it may
have had some influence in the very re-
cent revival of interest in the matter of
the use of liquid as regular fuel.
The principal question which has to
be considered, and the feature which has
counterbalanced the manifested advant-
ages OF liquid fuel, is that of expense.
The thermal units of coal as compared
with petroleum are as to 1-2 orl to
2, according to the quality of the oil and
coal in each particular instance. The
expense of carrying and firing are decid-
eddy in favor of the liquid, and to this
may be added the advantage accruing
from the nicely with which the fire may
be regulated, and the much greater dis
tance which a locomotive is able to run
without taking on supplies. The only
point that needs consid Grafton is, then.
the actual relative cost upon the tender
This has been SO much greater in the
case of oil in this country as to be
prohibitive of general use upon loco
motives, but in other countries saving
of from Is to 20 per cent, has been OBJ
tanned from the use of petroleum, on ac-
count of the different relative values OF
the two products.
There is further consideration that
must prevent any extensive use of petro-
leum in this country. The supply is SO
small in proportion to the demand that
any general use would shortl ycause such
an advance in cost as to destroy tenn
porary economy. We are forced to con-
olude, therefore, that while the me-
chanical difficulties in the use of liquid
fuel have been removed, economical con-
siderations preclude it's extended use.
and while petroleum may have useful
field in temporary emergencies and upon
switch or suburban engines where the
smoke problem is prominent the field is
practically limited to that extent. Gin

NIAGARA'S POWER.
Engineers Harvesting the Falls for Vast
Mechanical Power.

The recent test in harness of small
portion of the force of Niagara Falls
makes the realization of an old dream
in engineering. The recently completed
tunnel is horseshoe-shaped, being eigh-
teen feet ten inches at the widest part
and fourteen feet five inches at the bot
tom. When used to it's full capacity,
of water passing through it per minute,
or weight of 1860 tons. The water
that rushes down the penstocks turns
turbine wheels. each of which sends up
to the surface 5000 horse power, and the
tunnel has capacity of force, it is
claimed, amounting TO thirty times this
amount. But this is mere handful of
the force represented in this colossal fall
in the Niagara river. The grand total
exceeds a horse power of over 1900, 600,
or more power than is developed by all
the various kinds of steam engines in the
United States. 1t almost inspires q
feeling of awe to reflect that this one
locality has more energy than is devel-
oped in our entire country by the daily
consumption of all the coal applied
to mechanical purposes.
The generator of this force is the great
solar furnace in the heavens. which
lifts the vapor that aescends on the large
area drained by the river, whose leap
makes the worlds greatest cataract.
The great lakes which constitute the
greatest fresh water bodies on earth. are
only immense storage reservoirs of force.
to hold and equalize this power, which
thus becomes constant and practically
witout limit. The tunnel system can he
extended to score or more on each side.
and to greater lengths than the present
one, thus using the power over and over,
and, should there once be an object in
the most economic use of this energy. il
will be found that 5000, 900, horse power
is not beyond what is here represented.
When the century closes this factor in
Illumination and electric car propulsion
will be potent from New York to Chica-
go, and a power center will be estab-
lished, radiating probably 500 miles in
any direction. When it is considered
that this fern of force is pretty we'll
diffused throughout the country, and
that the aggregate of what is represent
ed elsewhere many times exceeds the
force of Niagara, we may gain some con-
ception of how crude we shall appear to
our successors. Most barbaric shall the
persistent water boilers stand before
them.
We are just in the dawn of the practi-
cal application of the but recently dis
covered great fact of the correlation Of
force, and when the next century has
reached it's meridian we and our WAYS
shall be referred TO as the climax in the
grotesque. Yet it is more than a CEN
fury since Franklin flung his kite to the
storm, and demonstrated that the elecric
fluid might be harnessed, SO slowly do
great ideas unfold themselves. But the
idea of conversion of force, of inter
change, of the correlation. of energy.
came after the great American philoso-
piers time, and the great modern
achievements are all but calculations of
this great principle in nature. Pitts

TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.
How the Efforts of the Agricultural De-
partment viii Be Directed.

AS result OF conference between
the President and the Secretary of Agri-
cultur the appropriation for the extermi-
nation of tuberculosis in cattle will be
expended by DR.. Salmon, chief of the
| bureau of animals industry, in such a
manner as to furnish useful and practi-
cal information to the public co ncerning
the disease and the best methods of treat
| ment. 1t is stated that the department
will not buy cattle and slaughter them
as in the past, in order to prevent tho
spread of the disease, but instead will
make scientific Investigations and fur
nish the results to State officials and the
public. The department. will continue to
supply boards of health and other State
authorities with tuberculin--a preparation
used to determine the existence of the
disease,
The practical work of the bureau for
the eradication of the contagion, and for
all the principal experiments in connec-
hon tberewitn will be conducted in the
district OF Columbia, where the federal
jurisdiction is supreme. DR.. Salmon has
made statement in regard to the mat
ter, in which he says:
we shall go outside the District for the
purpose of making Investigations only
where there are doubts or differences of
opinion as to the disease For example,
there WAS panic at Williamstown,
Mass. the other day. They killed 500 or
more sheep and lot of chickens, sup
posing that they had tuberculosis, but
we could not find any. There were
symptoms of parasitic disease of a local
character, but nothing serious, and
we were glad to be of service to the local
authorities in determining this fact.
In the District of Columbia, where
there is no local government, we shall
make thorough investigation. We want
particularly to ascertain what proportion
of cattle are affected with or subject to
tuberculosis. We are pretty sure that
not less than five and perhaps as many
as twenty per cent of mich cows are
suffering from il, but we want to get
down little closer and be little more
accurate than that.
We shall also conduct some expert
mental investigation to determine the
best methods of getting rid of the dis
ease. so as to furnish Congress, the au-
thorities of the several States and the
public generally with information as to
what sort of treatment is the best, how
to apply il, what it will cost, etc. The
result, ! hope, will be that the disease
will be entirely eradicated in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and that the public
will be furnished with valuable infor-
nation. which will enable them to re-
duce, if not exterminate it throuxhou
the whole country. Washington Star.

The presence of DR.. Bryant in Washing
ton in attendance upon the President has
given rise OF course to rumors that the
latter's illness is more serious than has
been admitted. But it is useless to expect
of the Presidents intimate friends on
the one hand, and the desire of the news
paper representatives for something sem
satonal on the other both tend to mis-
lead the public as to the facts; and both
tend to give the public an exaggerated
idea of the seriousness Of his illness.

Dr.Sanborn's statement in the RPESS
of yesterday makes it clear that there
could have been no connection between
the return of Mr.. Campbell from the in
sane asylum and the outbreak of diph-
iberia in the neigh boring towns of Var
mouth and Freeport. Campbell never
had diphtheria, and had never been near
diphtheria. The outbreak of the disease
in his family soon after his return was
merely a coincidence. 1t is fortunate
that DR.. Sanborn can furnish so accurate
a'statement OF Campbell's whereabouts
while in the asylum, for the chain of
circumstantial evidence connecting the
hospital with the outbreak of the dis
ease at Yarmouth was quite strong one
and many people undoubtedly looked
upon it as conclusive. The consequence
was that the hospital authorities were
receiving good deal of severe criticism.
which it is now clear they did not de-
serve.

beans and brown bread are the staple

the order of the commissioners is likely
