Electric Canal rowage.

Canal barges have recently been very
successfully towed by electric power on
the summit leve4 ot the Canal de Bour-
gogne. This portion Of the canal is
three and three quarter miles long and
has been made very narrow to reduce
construction expenses. There is nc tow
path and hauling is effected on the sub
merged chain principle. The hauling
upo1 the chain is now done by cleo
trio power instead Of by steam. as here
tofore. A generating house has been
fixed at each end OF the section, the
current being generated by water
power. The dynamos at the two sta
tons, three and three-quarter miles
apart, are coupled in series. The three
mains are suspended on rubber insula-
tors in part from wires spanning the
canal and IN part from the tunnel roof
of the tunnel sections Of the canal.
Trolley arms or the usual type are used.
The motor used on the tug which hauls
upon the submerged chain is Of nine
teen-horse power, running ~ 500 revo-
buttons per minute During the passage
through the tunnel the current is utll-
lied to light the boat and ~ night is
used for this purpose during The entire
run. The cost Of the plant was about
600 and a saving OF $500 year Is
recorded.

The Incandesoent Gas Rurner.

During the meeting of the Western
Gas association held in Pittsburg May
10, 10, and II, paper was read on the
subject of incandescent gas lighting,
which, with the discussion following it.
conveyed much of a comforting as well
as interesting character to the general
reader, or, rather gas consumer The
author of the paper in the first place
had many things TO say in disparage-
ment of the WelSbach incandescent
gas burner, from his standpoint as a
gas manufacturer. on the ground Of its
reducing the output and profit of the
gas company under his charge by af-
9ording those who used it an increased
amount of light at about half the cost
