Electrical Disposition of Garbage.

Electrical Disposition Of Garbage.
An experiment is being tried in Lon.

interest by municipal authorities In
this country. Here the disposition Of
city garbage is oftener than not source
Of perplexity, but in England they

the proper thing to do with refuse ID
to make money out Of 1t. Many towns
are deriving much Of their electric cur
rent supply from the sweepings of the
streets. and the vestry Of shoreditch,
. district Of Lendon, is about to show
that this utilization can be turned to
more varied uses than have yet been
considered, The vestry, prompted by
the knowledge that the furnaces in
which the refuse II destroyed may be
very adyantageously employed for the
generation Of steam or other purposes,
has bought piece Of land upon which
1t is going to erect dust destructor on
the newest principles. It will make the
destruotor do treble duty-it wiz. de,

Ashland, Wis, Special.-A special
revenue officer was taken from Ash
land to Bayfield, Inst night on a tug
to investigate an alleged case of snug
Cling. United States officers say that
for several years smuggling from Can:
ada on South Shore points has been
going on, and that since the high
duty Of some $12 per pound on opium,
which passed congress in 1890. 1t has
been smuggled across the border at
every available place. The smuggling
into bayfield, Is said to have been done
in sailboats by fishermen. 1t is conf
paratively easy for alleged fishermen
to leave Port Arthur and other ports
on the North Shore with no suspicion
Of smuggling. 1t 10 thought by the
officers that thousands Of dollars
worth Of opium and whisky have been
smuggled into Bayfield, during the last
year In this manner. The Ashland
tug returned this morning. No ar.
rests have been made. but the officers
obtained some valuable evidence.
