Before the Canadian Association of
Engineers Mr.. George Mackie, expert,
recently dwelt on the character Of the
gas engine as one Of the rivals Of the
steam engine in respect Of small powers,
say under 100 horse Though familiar,
it may be said, to the mechanical or en-
cheering world, the method Of work
ing peculiar to this engine will be of in
terest TO the general reader, particularly
the ingenious system by which the gas
is exploded once in every two revolu-
tions, some having one explosion in
three revOlutiOns-that is, the engine
having just passed the center, the charge
Of gas is exploded, the rapid expansion
Of the exploded gas driving the piston to
the end Of the stroke, when the exhaust
valve opens and the returning piston
drives the exhaust gas out 1t then re-
turns again, this time acting as an air
pump, drawing in the next charge of
gas and air. The piston now starts on
the return, the exhaust valve remaining
closed during the stroke. The gas is now
compressed, and when the engine again
passes the center the explosion takes
place, the piston being thus driven for
ward again. the same action taking place
as before, the governor admitting the
necessary amount Of air and gas for the
load. There are three different ways Of
exploding the gas-viz, by an electric
spark in the combustion chamber, or by
gas Jet in the combustion chamber, or
by tube heated redhot, with which the
gas comes in contact at the time of ex-
plosion.

Lemons In Southern Italy.

The damp, soft air Of Sorrento is per
feet for the cultivation Of the orange,
but MassaLubrense, which is dry and
more sheltered, is given up to the prod
uce of lemons, which yield an enor-
nous percentage to the fortunate pos
SCISSORS of land that can be used for that
purpose Orange trees are here and there
mingled with the lemons, just as lemon
trees will be seen in the midst Of the
orange groves Of Sorrento, though in
neither case are they the chief produce
of the place.
Massa-Lubrense is largely indebted
for its salubrious air to its lemon plan
tations. Three years must pass before a
newly planted lemon tree begins to bear
fruit, and III order to bring it to perfec-
tion it must be freely watered. A hol-
low is dug round the base Of the tree to
receive the water as in basin, so that
it may slowly penetrate to the roots.
Poles are planted at intervals in the
ground, somewhat higher than the trees,
and smaller poles or canes are placed
crossways above them, which are COW
cred with mating when the winter ap-
proaches. 1t is not removed till the
spring is well advanced for lemon trees
must be most carefully sheltered from
wind or frost The fruit is gathered
chiefly during the summer months, es-
pecially in May, July and September,
though there are lemons on the trees all
the year round. -Chambers Journal

Mr.. w. B. Burk, who has made a
close study and examination Of the
sponges found in different parts Of the
globe, declares that there are no Sponges
in any land in the world that can equal
the Florida sheep wool for sofness aud
strength, and no better bath sponge has
been discovered than a good solid sheep
wool, although it is generally employed
for washing carriages, etc, and though
in former years the sponScs were loaded
with lime or sand, such kind or de-
scription Of the article is not often to be
met with. The Florida sheep wool is
the best variety Of sponge, being Of very
fine texture, soft, strong and durable.
The yellow sponge is Of fine quality, but
not firm in texture, and not nearly 50
soft or durable as the first named. The
grass sponge is quite inferior to the 9th
ers, not being so strong nor so desirable
in shape, and is easily torn.
The Cuban sponges Mr.. Burk says,
are the next best TO the Florida, the
principal varieties found in Cuba or the
West Indies being the sheep wool, reef,
yellow and grass, also velvet, which are
next best to the sheep wool sort The
finer grades Of sponges are found princi-
pally in the Mediterranean, such as the
fine surgeons, toilet bathing and uurs-
cry sponges, and these are Of much
higher price than any others. They are
fshed principally by divers, sometimes
at great depth, and after being brought
to the land are buried in the sand and
allowed to decompose. and subsequently
well washed, beaten with small stick
and thoroughly cleaned. New York

THE NEXT POET LAUREATE.
Kipling Commended Because He Has Sung
the Song Of the British Soldier.

1t is in the last number Of The Idler,
in o symposium upon the selection
Of the next poet laureate Of England,
that Mr.. Zangwill makes this special
plea for and brilliant panegyric Of Kip
ling:
Without wasting time in reason
theoretical or practical-for barring ev-
cry other poetical genius, let me say at
once that my selection is Rudyard Kip
ling. Quite unprompted by the posi-
bilities Of the laurel and the canary-or
is it the sack that the poet laureate gets:
--Kipling has sung the song Of the Brit
ish Flag i'll verses Of unsurpassed imag-
NATIVE vigor. He has interpreted the
British soldier He alone today possesses
the secret of those Macaulay measures
which are trumpets to the blood of the
scholarly and the simple alike, while
they are the only meters that really APP
peal to the crowd His genius-the most
brilliant, not to say glaring, that our
generation has witnessed. always at a
white heat and therefore lacking the
mellOwer radiances-is Of the very fire
that informs a Tyrteus His mind has
the narrowness that makes national
bard. and that breadth which is indispen-
sable for British national bird, whose
strains must echo the morning roll Of
the drum that follows the sunrise round
the world.
"The only thing which can be urged
against Kipling's claims is his youth.
But then Kipling-matured under In
dian skies-was never young. In truth,
genius never develops, but revolyes in
a cycle of masterpieces always old,
as old as all the other elemental mystic
ries. Tennyson never wrote anything
really popular in the laureate line ex-
cept The Charge of the Light Brigade. >
Kipling would be popular, even if he
had to hymn the virtuous advent Of
princely twins. In brief, he is already
practically the laureate Of the British
empire. The appointment only awaits
ratification at the hands Of The Wilder
Of Windsor.

The English Language.

The grammar school boy was reading
the paper when he stopped suddenly and
appealed to his mother.
Say, mother" he said, "what does
it mean in the paper here where it says a
scared horse broke loose from where he
was hitched to a fence and tore down
the street,"
1T means just what it says" replied
the mother without thinking.
How can it?" persisted the boy.
"How could he tear down the street ?
There amt anything for him to tear
down. He might have torn down the
fence, but not the street. "
YES, oh, yes, said the mother quite
as intelligently as before.
~ guess the paper made a mistake, 4"
said the boy, fixing up his own explana-
tion, ''and it meant to say he tore up
the street I've seen the streets tore up
good many times laying street car
tracks and gas pipes and things"
He thereupon resumed his reading and
his mother sat looking at him as if she
feared he might have an attack of brain
fever. Detroit Free Press

Judge Gresham, says the Washington
Post, was never much impressed by the
founce and frill of official life. Ills
methods We're as easy and direct as Bis
marck's. This easy, careless plan Of do
ing business was more than once a shock
to the diplomatic colony IN Washington.
They did not know how to take Grcsh-
ans blunt fashion Of doing business.
On one occasion a couple Of under
diplomats of one Of the legations were
ushered into the diplomatic room TO
make what they intended should be a
very formal call upon the secretary of
state. 1t was hot August afternoon.
They found the secretary in his shirt
sleeves and with his slippered feet plac-
ed comfortably in a window where he
could have the full benefit Of the Poto-
mac breeze. He was smoking a very
strong cigar and was adding to his COM
fort as much as possible with "a palm
leaf fan. He turned his head amiably
toward the callers, both Of whom he had
met before and knew, and waving his
hand Hospitality said: Excuse my not
getting mp, gentlemen. Pull mp some
chairs by the window. You Will find
some cigars on the desk. "
This gave the European disciples Of
red tape a severe shock at the time and
aroused considerable gossip in an I'M
dertone in what are called diplomatic
circles. The callers were by no means
sure that their country's dignity had
not been seriously infringed by our sec
retary's informal reception.

TolstoI and the CensorshIp.

1t appears that the Russian censors
stand i'll much greater fear of Tolstoi
than he Goes Of them. They begin to
tremble as soon as they learn that he is
meditating new book In making up
their minds whether the work of the
greatest Russian writer is to lie placed
under their ban. they have now to con-
slider, not only what people will say in
Russia, but also what people will think
in Europe. When the "Kreutzer Soma
ia" was prohibited, Tolstoi 5 wife, it is
said, went in person to the car and
lodged a complaint. Alexander III re-
ceived the countess very graciously, re-
moved the ban and declared that in flu
ture he would himself act as censor Of
Tolstoi's books, adding, with a smile,
that he would be Every lenient. On
the completion of 1.-THE Kingdom Of
God" however, it was resolved to pub
lish the book abroad, doubtless from a
sense that its contents were much too
strong for any leniency. tolerate. How
things will go on under the new regime

1t was on a ferryboat coming from
Windsor. A man who was smoking a
brier root pipe was approached by a
well dressed man having an unlighted
cigar in his hand who courteously que
ried:
Gould beg the favor Of a light,
please?"
Certainly" replied the other.
Gould l get it pretty soon?"
"Within short time, sir. "
The man with the pipe smoked for a
minute or two, and then emptied his
pipe over the rail and walked up to one
of the employees Of the boat and asked
for match. After some hunting around.
one was handed to him, and he returned
to the gentleman with the cigar,
scratched the match ON his leg and ex-
tended il with the remark:

Thanks awfully."
"Please don't mention il. Anything
else wanted?"
Not on this trip, thank you.
"All right-see you on the next and

Then they turned away from each
other, perhaps never to meet again in
this cold world, and the boat plowed on
and ON over the foaming waters and
finally brought up with bump in North
America and was saved from a grave in
