Mon. Paul d'Humy, a French

cessfully carried out a series of
experiments, having for their OBJ

claims for bis invention that it
will entirely change the present
system of propelling fighting. ships
and steamers, will have marvel
lous effect on the commercial in
hustries of this and other coun-
tries, and that the material
is affected neither by heat
nor cold, and is absolutely smoke
less and odourless. He has sue
ceeted in turning these infam-
mable oils into hard solid cakes,
which, when set on fire, burn on
ly on the surface, and give off an
intense heat. The article can be
made in cakes of any size or
shape, and can be stored any
where without the slightest dan
ger, as it cannot evaporate or
cause any explosion. 1t requires
very little draught to burn, and
makes not more than from 2 to 3
per cent. Of ashes. In an inter.
view with Mons. d Humy, he
pointed out some of the advan-
tages the new fuel offers. He re-
marked that instead of man-of-
war having to carry from 3 1000 to
5000 tons of coal, and call fire.

York with2 ,000tons of this fuel and

The voyage. A ton of the fuel, Mons.
PHumy says, represents at least
30 tons of coal, and the cost is
not more than from 81 to 60 per

Electricity For Driving Ships.

"A use to which electricity might be put with advantage, think, is in the propulsion of great steamships. This electric fan, said Mir. Bragg of the Westinghouse company, pointing to a little brass machine that sends current of air the length of his office, lis built on the plan of propeller. It makes 2,000 revolutions minute; compare that with the greatest number of revo- lutions that the screws on our transat- lantic greyhonnds can make. The same hamper is on them that is on the steam locomotives. If those engines on ship board could run dynamos and the mo- tors be geared to the screws. then the rotary motion could be secured and the screws would go as fast as you please. Washington Star.

 The Jap Wasn't In 1t.

It has been said that the Japanese are the most skillful manipulators of the sword in the world. The saying goes that Jap can draw sword, describe with it figure 8 in the atmosphere and gracefully decapitate an opponent before said opponent can bat an eye.
 But. as matter of fact, the Jap with a sword cannot hold candle to young Georgia negro and a razor. That was demonstrated down at Nagasaki recent ly. A negro sailor from the United States gunboat Yorktown was ashore with his 'razzer" and jag. He ran beam on to jagged Jap and his sword, but before the Jap's sword had de- scribed the first circle of the the razor had got into action and Mir. Jap was hors de combat. The razor unfortunately proved fatal

MAKING IT UP TO DATE.
The Capitol at Washington Being Thor
 ough1y Renovated.


 The capitol building at Washington is being given thorough renovation. Congress has been in session for two years, and no previous opportunity has offered The old gas burners ill the legis- lative chambers have been taken out and electric lights substituted A plant capable of furnishing power for 6,000 lights has been put in.
 About 3, 300 lights will be placed in each wing. Behind the ground glass on the senate side 24 arc lights will be placed, which will be subdued by the glass beneath them. The gas furnished quite satisfactory light, but it had a tendency to heat the chambers exceed ingly: The expenditure of money for the capitol improvements that have been made has not been very large, except in the item of electric plants.
 Machinery to ventilate the senate chamber has been placed in the base ment.
 Eight hundred thousand moldy vol umes of unread congressional literature. which have befouled the air i'll the build. ing for years, have been removed from the subcellar, ill the hope of improving the quality of air which our senators and representatives must breathe
 In the reception room of the senate the old fashioned furniture has been reupholstered ill red leather, for the first time ill 12 years. The leathered chairs i'll the marble room have also been re- covered i'll dark olive. The walls of the lobby of the senate are being repalnted i'll cream and gold, while new red car pet will cover its tiled floor during the winter. = Cincinnati Commercial Ga zatta

and So Needs One.
 Willard Bedding of Belehertown, 76 years old, and most estimable person, has experienced more casualties than usually fall to the lot of one mortal who lives to tell the story
 At the age of he had part of the fingers of one hand cut off. In later years he had the bones of one ankle smashed. The next accident that hap pened to him was the result of being caught by the mouth by the sweep of an-old fashioned older mill His mouth was enlarged to an unnatural capacity and had to be partially sewed up. Next, & horse fell on him and broke the bone of one leg above the knee; next, as the result of a fall, he had his ribs on one side broken in; next, 8 sandbank eaved in and buried him under it. breaking his limb over again, and after it healed he was left with one leg considerably shorter than the other Last winter he fell and shattered his kneepan. When he was over 60 nature, as if to atone for some of his shattered bones, replaced the teeth on his upper jaw with new set of double teeth. Springfield Repnb- lican

cANARiES FOR CONNECTS.
Michigan Prisoners Keep Them For Com
 fort and Profit.

AoFb AHu fFouts
 Convicts iu the Michigan state prison have many more favors than those of almost any other penitentiary in the United States, and it is the belief of the management of the institution that for this reason there are fewer outbreaks of lawlessness than are found elsewhere. Among the favors granted to them at the penitentiary at Jackson is that of keeping and caring for birds There are fully GOO feathered songsters in Mich igan's principal penal institution, all owned and cared for by the convicts, and as soon as daylight approaches on bright mornings their sweet notes are heard ill striking contrast to the natural feelings of their owners.
 Many of the most hardened criminals, who from their general appearance and history would not be expected to care for anything of a refining nature, ten derly care for and caress their little pets.
 More than quarters of the cells in the prison contain one or more cana ries, and they are also found in various shops throughout the institution. Dur ing the day the cages are hung outside the cells to give the birds light and air, but as soon as the convict returns from work at night the cage is taken inside
 This practice has been carried on in the prison for years, and the officials say that instead of any detrimental eff feet being noticeable the little songsters have proved a benefit, as they not only give the cells a more homelike appear ance, but they also wield decided in- fiuence in the way of humanizing the most reckless and hardened criminal
 Besides being permitted to keep the birds for the sake of their company and influence, the convicts are also allowed to raise them to sell, and many a dollar is credited to the accounts of the prison CTS from this source. Of course the con- vict handles none of the money realized from the sale of the birds until he is discharged, but it is placed to his credit in the prison bank.-Chicago Record.

John Wanamaker,s Immense Profits.

learn from excellent sources that John Wanamaker's profits from his big Philadelphia store reached the enormous sum of $4, 900, ,000 during the year 1894 Great as this sum is, the chances are the profits of 1895 will exceed it by $1, 1000, GOO or $2,000, 00o Wanamaker was able to make this vast profit last year through his virtual monopoly of the retail business in Philadelphia. When the commercial depression forced factories and wholesalers to sell for what they could, Wanamaker's buyers were in the market with ready money, eager for bargains. But when he came to pass the goods over to the people the big mer- chant was in a position to get the best end of the deal.-Cor. Chicago Times Herald

INTERclTY TROLLEY LINES.
Baltimore and Washington to Be Connect
 ed by an Electric Railroad.


 ed by an Electric Railroad.
 It is an interesting and significant CO., incidence that the announcement should be made at almost the same time of the alliance of the Baldwin Locomotive works and the Westinghouse company to manufacture electric locomotives for high speed purposes and of the award of the contract for the construction of the Columbia and Maryland Electric railway, between Washington and Bal timore, the first trolley line over which first class express trains will be run.
 Heavy masonry bridges are to be con- structed, and the whole road will be equipped as substalW ally as a steam railroad. The firm is also to build a branch road from Baltimore to Ellicott City, Md. q distance of about ten miles. The aggregate cost of construction of both roads will be nearly $3, GOO, 900.
 There are to be two power stations, one on the Patapsco river and the other at Laurel, Md. The motors used will be of great capacity in order to main tain high rate of speed.
 Widener and Elkins have announced that it is their intention to make the road a through line between the two cities and to have it enter into active competition with the steam roads. Fast time is to be made by trolley express trains, and the terminal facilities in both cities will be ample for a heavy traffic. The site for the Baltimore depot has been selected in the heart of the eity, midway between the railroad sta tions. New Y ork Sun.

OLIVIA INSTITUTE.
New Technical College to Be Established
 In Washington.


 A technical college is soon to be in- eorporated and will have its home i'll the residence on Maple square, Capitol hill, Washington, of Mrs Emily Edison Briggs, so widely and faverably known by the newspaper nom dc plume of "Olivia;' ;' hence the name-the Olivia institute, chosen by the directors. The school is designed primarily for women, but will be open to either sex, just as mems colleges are open for women.
 To Mrs. Briggs this subject of prac- tical education has made its constant appeal for years. She possessed for tune in her own right, besides most suitable spot for the location of this ideal college at her charming home on Maple square, and the opportunity, if not the duty, seemed to be hers At a cost of much time and labor she has brought the scheme where her fondest hopes give promise of fulfillment at an early day Washington Star.

THE OUTRAGES IN ARMENIA.

Strong pressure is now being brought to bear on Lord Salisbury by members of his own party to adopt the very policy which MT. Gladstone so vaguely urges namely, to coerce the porte, if need be, whether the other powers cooperate with England or not New York Sun.
 The Turk should never be allowed to indulge in his favorite luxury of butch ering Christians if he can possibly be prevented. Mohammed laid the founda- tions of his cult and established his power by the sword, but the most pow erful living subscriber to his faith, the sultan. should be taught that the kind of sword exercise he has been ill the habit of practicing upon his Christian subjects is an anachronism that nine- teenth century sentiment will not tol- crate St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 It was at Chester that Mr Gladstone made what is probably his last great speech for humanity and against the un- speakable Turk, The theme inspired him, as indeed 1t might, and from the summary of the address delivered in be- half of the Armenian Christians and against their prosecutors it is plain that it ranks among the great efforts of long life full of such stirring calls to duty. His references to American sym pathy are fully justified, and his gen eral proposition to have Europe take charge of the Armenians and deliver them from the hands of their prosecutors will be widely approved.

Miniature Tower of Babel.

The Smithsonian institution is pre- pnring miniature model of the Tower of Babel for the exposition of Atlanta. It will be in all respects, so far as pos sible, faithful reproduction of the ia nous original. The latter was the great est of the many magnificent temples of Babylon, being 140 feet high. That does not seem much, compared with the Washington monument, but people in those days were not accustomed to tall structures, and the ancient capital of Assyria was situated in the midst of . vast plain, where there were no natural elevations to servs for comparison. - Washington Star.

A Case of Old Lamps For New.

A queer trade Is followed by half a dozen sidewalk merchants outside the Philadelphia House of Correction. Every person discharged from the institution receives on leaving new pair of shoes. Traders lie in wait for the discharged prisoners and offer them pair of old and comfortable shoes and 25 or 50 cents for their new pair In a great ma jority of cases the trade is made. The House of Correction shoes are we'll made and strong, and the traders get good price for them from workingmen.

FIVE MILLION STAMPS.
Mrs. Edna Garman's Letter Chain Not Yet
 Broken.

 Broken.
 Edna R. Brown Garman of Kane vile, Ills, originator of the famous letter chain system, which was widely discussed recently in the papers, and was started by her for the purpose of collecting cancelled postage stamps, still receives several hundred letters per day, although the end of the chain was sup posed to have been reached several months ago. Recently among the letters received was one from Henry Clancy of San Diego, Cal, inclosing check for $500.
 Mrs. Brown Garman's letter chain was started about a year ago, her unique scheme being to secure 1,000,- 900 cancelled postage stamps, which she hoped to sell for enough to pay the ex- pense of hospital treatment for her crippled sisterin-law, Mattie Garman. She wrote letters to three friends, who in turn were to each write to three more, and so on until the number of 50 was reached. The chain was then re- auested to stop. Each person receiving a letter was to send ten cancelled stamps to Mrs. Garman.
 The results were wonderful For a month letters poured into the little Kaneyille postofiee at the rate of 10000 day, and Mrs. Garman estimates the number of stamps received at $, 5,000,0 900. The crippled girl has been sent to hos- pital and can be cured. Aurora (Ills. Special to Chicago Inter Ocean.

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-08-26

A long campaign tends to increase the bitterness of politics. It most certainly very greatly interferes with business Let us have a shorter campaign. If the experience of the state of Washington is of any service, short campaign is all that is needed. The campaign of 1894 was short one, but every one will agree that it was long enough for every prac- tical purpose. Seattle Times
 During every presidential campaign we are \ old that all the business inter ssts suffer from politics. A presiden- tial year is almost fatal to the theaters, and the volume of business falls of ma terially, so that commercial men look forward to it with disgust and appre- hension. Yet, instead of concentrating and shortening all our efforts lie i'll the direction of lengthening it and aggra- yating the evil, and when the times age bad and therefore business is likely to suffer from the depression due to politi- cal excitement the seall seem to go in- to politics most earnestly and energetic allv.-New Orleans es-Democrat.
