To Utilize the Earth,s Heat.

Current Literature" thinks that one
of the triumphs Of the future engineers
will be the sinking Of q shaft 1900
to $4,000 feet into the earth In order to
utilize the central heat Of the globe. So
great depth, 1t is believed, may not be
impossible for the improved machinery
Of the coming scientist Water at .
temperature Of 200 ,centigrade, which
will be obtained by, these deep bor1ngs,
will heat houses and public buildings,
to say nothing of the power 1t would
furnish. The plant once paid for, the
only expense would be the keeping Of
the pipes in good condition. Nature
would do the rest

One OF the New York food reformers
who would improve the diet of man
kind has put out proposition for the
eating of bones. after they are ground
fine. He holds that under the existing
regimen, the bones OF the human frame
are not properly supplied with the
chemical elements needed to keep them
In sound and vigorous condition, and
that these elements can be most easily
obtained by consuming the powdered
bones of the animals ordinarily used
for food. He would sprinkle steak
or chop, for example, with. bone dust,
after the manner In which 1t Is sprin-
kled with salt and pepper. and he main
tains that thus the taste of the meat
may be greatly fmproved.-New York

Meats Come from Chicago.
Absolute denial is given by the agricul-
tural department to the report from Ger
many that Chicago packers buy the most
inferior qualities of beef for canning and
packing purposes. The statement was
made in German journal, which assert
ed that, owing to the poor quality Of the
beef, it was injurious and wrong to sell
it in Germany. Secretary Morton said,
concerning the story.
Personally, with veterinary inspec-
tor, / have several times passed through
the larger beef-canning establishments in
Chicago. My visits to those estab-
lishments were always .unheralded,
and therefore there were no spe-
cial preparations made for general view
ing of their premises and their methods Of
slaughtering, cooking and canning beef.
From those thorough, official investiga-
tons am justified in denying as wholly
untrue all that is asserted in that state
ment in regard to American canned

faith is the main thing; without this sue
cess is impossible, but so great Is Dowie's
own faith that he can inspire the minds Of
those who possess it in less degree than
himself.
The opponents of Dowie are prepared
to show, they say, that the cures wrought
have been performed only on persons
troubled with hysteria or else are the re-
suits of pure delusion. Dowie, on the
other hand, points to mass of affidavits
made by those who claim cures and their
friends to the effect that they have been

Gus Butterworth, the poular bonifacc
Of the Rtdgeway House, Is probably the
only living man who, literally speak
ing, struck president OF the United
States and received thanks instead OF
a term In jail for 1t. Mr.. Butterworth
once gave 1t to Benjamin Harrison In
the neck and he lives to tell the tale.
1t was while President Harrison was
living In his Cape May cottage. Mr..
Butterworth was running a hotel not
far from the executive residence. One
day while enjoying ride on trolley
car Mr.. Butterworth, who happened to
be sitting behind short, thick-set man
with gray hair and beard, noticed a
very large, healthy mosquito getting its
bloody work in on the back Of the thick
set mans neck. Acting on a very nat
ural impulse, Mr.. Butterworth raised
his right hand and brought the palm of
1t down on the back Of the mans neck
with a resounding slap. The man
turned quickly around and Mr.. Butter
worth saw that he was the President
Of the United States.
II beg your pardon" said Mr.. But
terworth, "but there was mosquito on
your neck"
THANK you very much" remarked
the chief executive, cordially. "Judg-
Ing from the force Of your blow don't
think the insect will give me any more
trouble. l don't use slang very often,
but this Is the first time ever got it in
the neck-at least In that fashion"
Then Mr.. Butterworth plucked the
dead mosquito from the Presidents
neck, and he and Mr.. Harrison entered
into pleasant chat on general topics.
Mr.. Butterworth has that mosquito yet.

AT SJrasburg there are six hundred

one thousand. and they are kept by the
hundreds at other cenJers, such as

and with towns IN the interior. The
service is supported by an appropria-

TOWN REFUSE AS FUEL.
Result Of Experiments with . Furnace at
Halifax, England.

Result of Experiments with . Fuenace a
| Halifax, England.
Experiments in seeking to utilize the
refuse of towns as fuel have been car
REG SO far that a plant, known as the
I Livet plant, has been set up in. Halifax,
England, with which it is expected to
supply electric energy. The success.
ful working of the Livet furnace, says
the Popular Science Monthly, appears
to depend upon the peculiar constr,lc-
ton of its fues, which are so built as
to utilize the effect Of the decreasing
volume of the gases Of combustion
travelling toward the chimney, SO pro-
noting high velocity to the air pass
ing through the furnace bars and pro-
duciDg rapid combustion with intense
heat. At the same time the effect of
this popularity Of construction is to
cause the gases themselves to move
slowly through the fues SO that they
may part with their useful heat before
escaping into the atmosphere. The
force of draught at the furnace is such
that a high and constant Temperament
is obtained and efficiency Of combus-
ton insured, while all unpleasant
:odors inherent in town garbage are de-
stroyed. 81 !. /
AS an example Of the heat economy
effected, it is said that whereas in
previous generators the best results
ever obtained have been three-quarters
of a pound of water evaporated on the
combustion of one pound of refuse, in
the Livet generator over three pounds
Of water are evaporated into steam for
every pound of refuse consumed, in
spite of the fact that. it is frequently
known to contain twenty per cent Of
moisture The temperature Of the
gases just before entering the chimney
is stated to be from three to four hum
dred degrees Fahrenheit lower than
hitherto obtained. The progression
of the cases is partially arrested at
both ends of each fue for the purpose
OF permitting them to deposit the con-
tanned light dust in suitable expansion
chambers or pits, which can be cleaned
out when desirable. This arrange
ments serves to overcome the objection
able dust, which in ordinary .'destruc-
tors tends to choke the Aues and inn
pregnate the air Of the surrounding
districts. ia$z:r
