POWER FROM REFUSE.
NIFTY. fire English Towns Generate It From
household Garbage.

Garbage and town refuse disposal Is one
matter where the cities of Europe are fal
ahead of these of this country. An ideal
plant of tlis kind is that at Rockland,
England Investigators have all agreed
that burning is the best way TO dispose OF
tho accumulatons This preference is due
to the fact that by this method not only is
all organic matter liable to putrefy and
become u menace to tho health of the com.
munity destroyed, but il has been found
by actual trial that the heat derived from
the burning Of this refuse may be used for
the production Of steam, which cnn be
utilized for commercial purposes, and the
revenue received from this source may be
sufficient to more than pay for The cost of
burning. There are no less than 55 such
Instructors in different parts Of England
Tho health committee of RocGdale, II man,
Sfucturing town Of T3, 600 Inhabitants, re,
unity adopted tho method, with the idea
ef ultimately using the steam produced for
electric lighting purposes. 1t has been
found that this rough unscreencd refuse,
running AS much as 30 per cent of clinker
Ind ash will evaporatc | 6 pounds of wa
ter for every pound of refuse burned under
bounds pressure Coal burned under the
came boilers evaporatcd seven pounds OF
wator pcr pound of coal The Two boilers
have CRATE sarfacc OF 10 SQUARE feet each.
In building the two destructor cells u large
combustion chamber common to both, was
provided between them and the boilers, so
thnt the gases could intcrmluglc and that
time should be allowed for the comblIstion
OF gases before they cane in contact with
the comparatively cold surface OF the boiler
noting tho fact that il once the organic
matter in the fumes were heated sufficient.
1y high no amount Of subsequent cooliu,
down could agnin make them nalodorous
1t is interesting to noto that it Is mo-
necessary to llSc coal to aid in the burning
OF thi, refuse. The plant has been able t.
produce $40 brake horsepower, burnint
two tons Of refuse per hour. This high ef
flcienry is obtained with ordinary boiler
by using a forced draft The weight a.
the refuse Is reduced two-thirls, and tn,
volume three -fourths.
The author says In conclusion: 9TH
disopsal of two.t thirds of the refuse con-
pletely is an important matter, but whc
to this is added the fact that the rcmainin!
third Is rendered quite FREQ from any oi
ganic matter whatever, 1t is past conccl

ONE CENT
AFTER THE CIRCUS.
JOHN D. DOWNING.

l guess Dixie never told you,
OF that golden autumn day,
When the circus spread it's canvas herS
And likewise went away.
OF the gorgeous sights he saw there
OF the tan and sawdust SMELL
VI the many wondrous scenes OF which
NO tongue nor ear Gun tell.
There's something about circus,
- A something that seems to stay,
To linger in the air as 'twere,
Long after it's gone away.
A power that quite enchaIns one,
That an ardent longing brings;
To make an effort to perform,
Almost unheard Of things.
Tho Dikes were no exception,
Scarce had the circus gone,
Ere each conceived an idea, b
And acted thcreupon
Pop" thought he'd walk the clothes line,
'1t's easy" he heard folks say;
But his equilibrium failed to got there,
He wasn't built that way.
The line proved rcstive, Dixie then
Was fain to seek repose,
On that hard, hard floor in way that
Than doubled the size of his nose
Dixie mere then mounted "Dobbin,"
And strove to stand on his back,
When the landscape suddenly rose in its
might,
And dealt her murdernus whack.
Then Bill no odds where you find him,
Nor what hour tbs Of the day,
That promising youths always upside
down,
Since the circus went away.
With brick in lieu of dumbbeII,
Ike, while swinging it round his head,
knocked the preacher down the cellar
stairs,
And they picked him up for dead
> Then Kate was missed, and they-after,
They'd sought high and low the next
day,
Found she'd skipped the town iu the night
with theclown,
When the circus went away.
Dixie has nought but maledictions,
For that fatefnl autumn day
When tho circus both pitched and struck
its tent,
And siluntly stole away.
