large tank, well protected from radiation
for use when the engine is not running.
This heated water is forced through under
ground pipes to the coils in the various
houses and through the return pipe into
the bottom of the storage tank. The
water leaves the station at temperature
of $50 deg. Fahrenheit and returns at 140
deg. in zero weather. This small loss of
heat in the water after passing, as it often
does, through from 10000 to $1,000 feet of
street mains is looked upon as excellent
practice, and it is in great measure owing
to the fact that the supply is forced
through the mains at the rate of 32S feet
per minute, with pressure of 80 pounds at
the pumps.
THE PASSING OF THE HoRsE.-A promi-
nent electric company has collected some
startling figures, which show the almost in
calculable influence of the Introduction of
the electric car, taken merely on its one
basis of replacing the horse for traction
purposes. 1t is estimated that electric
cars have already displaced 100000
horses, and this estimate is manifestly far
below the actual number. The feeding of
these horses would entail the consumption
of 100000 bushels of corn or oats day.
The animals are now back on grass, and
the enormous decrease in corn and oats
consumption, caused by their withdrawal,
is sufficient to appreciably affect the prices
of those grains. In round figures, it
amounts to 1S0,OO0,OOO bushels a year.
There is another view of this subject, the
significance of which will be probably
more apparent a few years hence than it is
now. The loss of commercial demand for
these coarse grains in the cities means an
enormous decrease in the tonnage of the
railroad freight traffic. This failure is al
ready put at minimum of $4,000 car
loads. But it is not only in public traffic
that the day of the horse is waning. In
some cities the electric car lines have been
so judiciously distributed and give such ex-
cellent service that many private families
have given up their carriages and use the
electric cars instead.

AN AURoRAL SEARCHLIGHT.-An indica-
ton of the estimation in which the search
light is now held as a medium for the pro-
lection of light to distant points is recorded
from England. An electrical journal says
it is significant of the spread of electric APP
paratus, which were a few years ago re-
garded rather as curiosites. that the recent
fine display of the aurora borealis in the
north of England was by many people put
down to the now more familiar beams of
searchlight. 1t was only when, on COM
pairing notes, it was found that the display
had been seen in far distant places out of
the range of any possible protector that
this very practical explanation was aban-
doned.

A TROLLEY ExPREss.-It is now war to
the death between the steam and the cleo
trio railroads. The bid of the latter for
popularity will be favorably influenced by
the introduction of a new feature in their
service, trolley express. Arrangements
are now being made on many lines to run
through cars to points at which there is the
greatest traffic and to save the passenger
the inconvenience of changing cars when
ever it is possible to do so. When the
steam lines and the electric lines parallel
each other the effect of this express service
on the competition between them will be
more apparent, and 1t is not difficult to
foretel which system will do the most
business as soon as the weather is warm
enough to allow of the opening of the car
windows.

Just now Japan and everything re- lating to it is of great interest 10 every one, and perhaps there is no more vivid way of picturing it than by means of the stereopticon. An exhibition Of slides, the majority of which are beau tifully colored, is to be given in St. Thomas parish building Saturday at o'clock and again at l:30 as already so many tickets have been sold it would be impossible to seat all at one time. A Japanese tea room decorated by MT. Tozo Takayanagi, 160 Fifth avenue, New York, will be one of the attrac- tions It will be opened at 2:30 and tea will be served after 3:30 by young ladies in Japanese costumes. In Japan the tea houses, or cha vas, are number less. Travellers go in and partake of the sokwa, showing their gratitude for the refreshment by the sen they leave on the waiter. A tea ceremonial set of fourteen pieces, vases, bowls, jars, Japanese dolls and flowers will be on
 sale. The celebrated Ronln Fairy Tales can be obtained and an address on manners by Prof. Morse, in which the Japanese people receive a due amount of praise for their inborn po- liteness in comparison with the man. ners of many other nations. There will also be a cake table. Admittance 15 cents. This includes the tea room.
