Police Telegraph Systems.

n statement made by Police Com
missioner Andrews of New York has
drawn attention to the inadequacy of
the majority of existing systems Of
communication between policemen on
the beat and headquarters, fire sta
lions, etc. Commissioner Andrews
says: with a perfect telegraph sys-
tenn every man would be kept con-
stantly on his post He could COM
municate with his precinct whenever
the occasion required it. With such
a system Their would be saving of
several hundred men. 1t would be
better to discontinue the appointing
Of 100 men yearly, for a period of sew
eral years, and establish such a tele-
graphic system as I have described.
This department certainly requires it,
The fault with many police telegraph
systems is that, although they are
good as far as they go, they do not 80
far enough. Too few alarm boxes are
used, and the communication, as q
rule, does not extend beyond the sta
ton houses. There should be a box
on every mans post, so that he could
send for assistance, call an ambulance
or a tire engine, C. take reports with
out leaving his post and travelling to
the station house. There are now
available several systems which would
meet all these requirements. The
smallest salaried policeman costs a
city much more than the most expen-
sive alarm box, and the latter is often
the more needed Of the two.

A New "NaturaP' Method of Wood
Preserving.


Hitherto the seasoners OF wood have
relied almost entirely on the extrac-
ton of the sap, either by the natural
process or dessication by time and ex-
posture to the air, OF by some artificial
process, such as kiln drying, steaming,
washing, etc. In the curing of timber
by the extraction of the sap a great
proportion of the material is depreci-
ated by reason of sun-shakes and
cracks OF by warping, twisting. shrink
ing and other similar evils. 10 these
objections may be added many others
of time in seasoning, necessity to hold
large stocks, unprOductive outlay Of
capital loss of interest, rent, taxes
and insurance risk of destruction, de-
terioration in quality, expense of
printing and filling, shrinking Of knots
and liability to rot and decay. 1t is
proposed to take. a short cut out of
all this costly tangle of trouble by
simply emulating nature and retaining
within the wood it's sap, or "life
blood" This, Col. Hastings, the in
ventor Of the new "natural' wood pre-
serving process, maintains is the true
principle of wood preservation. The
sap should be treated so that the
whole of it's life preserving properties
are retained and solidified within the
substance itself. The sap of wood con-
tains large proportions of certain albu-
minous, glutinous, resinoul and olea-
ginous compounds in state of solu-
ton, and it is of these, compounds that
nature, in the growth of the tree by
her laws Of heat and pressure, grad
ually creates the hard, sound, fibrous
portion of the wood The new process
is to take the wood in it's green state
and so treat it with air pressure and
great heat that it the various COM
pounds in the sap are distilled and re-
tanned within the wood, without losing
their antiseptic and preserving proper
ties. The various essential compounds
become coagulated in the pores and
impre@nate the whole substance. The
soluble sap becomes insoluble, binding
the fibres and forming a homo geneous
mass incapable of absorbing moisture,
impervious to atmospheric changes,
unshrinkable, easily worked and prac-
tically indestructible. Thus the pro-
cess clinches in a few hours what ma.
ture has taken years to effect.

Mun1cipnl Ownership OF Lighting
Flants-A New ''Naturar Method
of Wood Prcscrving-The EIec trio
Motor in Agriculture.

Nj. j. Francisco, who has devoted
much attention to the question OF mu-
nicipal ownership of public corporal
tons, states, as his conviction, that
the time for municipalities to own
and conduct commercial Industries
will not arrive until men are born into
world where politicians and alder
men protect taxpayers and refuse
"boodle," and where political bosses
and their hirelings, who have no in
terest in the business except to draw
their salaries, can conduct it more
economically than those men who
have perhaps every dollar OF their
fortune depending upon it's success.
Until that time cen es cities should
cOnfine their business to regulating
and governing, leaving commercial in
dustries with their hazards and losses
to individuals and private corpora
tons. Mr.. Francisco says it is only
necessary to give the experience OF
cities which have tried the experiment
to show the worthlessness of the claim
that municipalities can produce light
at less expense tnan private corpora
tons. AS an Illustration, the case is
adduced of town in Virginia which
recently installed a plant Of 400 arc
lights to burn all night, using steam
power, coal costing 81 per ton. Before
this municipal plant was established
the local company offered to furnish
any number of lights that might be
desired, to burn every night and all
night, for $72.52 per lamp per year.
Interested persons in the town made
the claim that municipal plant could
be installed for $4,000. This was
afterward raised to $4,000, and again
to 100000, while the actual cost
proved to be $125,OOO The advocates
of municipal ownership represented to
the taxpayers that the total cost OF
running 400 arc lights, if the city
owned the plant, would not exceed
$4,000 per year, or $50 per lamp. The
town put in the plant. Troubles came
apace; soon after starting the arma-
lures began to burn out, and many
lamps were taken off in the hope Of
relieving the dynamos. It soon became
necessary to buy another dynamo, and
cut down the number of lamps on
each circuit, making six instead OF
five. The cost of maintaining the
lights for one year, irrespective of in
terest depreciation, taxes, insurance
and water rent, was $3O,12. The cost
of running alone instead Of being
$4,000, was between $4,000 and
$4,000. The authorities presently
realized that it was costing them
$112.73 per lamp per year for the same
light that the local company offered to
furnish for $72.52, and the taxpayers
would give great deal to be rid OF
what they call their electrical white
elephant"

The Electric Motor in Agriculture.

The Electric Motor in ArricuIturc.
Farmers, as class, are not given
to new fads, but they have quick
eye for any invention that means Il
solid saving in work or money 1t is
significant that more electric motors
have been sold for agricultural pur-
poses within the last nine months
than in any previous year. Electricity
is now used on great numbers Of farms
for lighting the buildings and driving
machines Of various kinds, and where
manual labor is usually scarce the adj
vantage of such ready and effective
servant is immense. Some doubt hav-
ing been thrown upon the economy Of
using electric power for threshing in
stead of horses, a farmer has written
to an electrical journal giving the re-
suits that he has attained. He used
to thresh with three pairs of horses,
which worked machine of 800 revo-
lutions per minute. The horses were
changed four times a day. He now
uses an electric motor. He finds, to
begin with, that his threshing machine
is saved an immense amount of wear
and tear, as it's working is smooth and
even. Formerly his six horses thresh-
ed in one hour 42S tons of barley:
now the electric motor threshes 5.66
tons in the same time. He uses cleo
trio power for every operation on hia
farm that it can be applied to, and
says he saves money every time.
