Coal Vessel loading NaehInes.

Machines for transferring coal from
cars to vessels more rapidly than can be
done by any Of the old processes are
now receiving a great deal Of attention
at Lake Erie ports, and three new ma
chimes are soon to be put in operation at
Cleveland. One Of these is for the Erie
Coal Transfer company and is ON the
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
dock. This will probably be completed
within a week OF two The loaded car
is run into a large cylinder, where it is
securely fastened, and the cylinder IS
then rolled mp an inclined plane, stop
ping in the right position to let the coal
fall ont of the car by gravity. The ma
chine that is being built on the Cieye-
land and Pittsburg dock consists Of
cradle, in which the loaded car is placed
and then swung on a trunnion, tipping
the car sufficiently to pour out its con-
tents. The coal falls through six hop
pers into six buckets, which are then
conveyed to the hold Of the vessel.
A third machine, differing from the
other two, is to be built on the Cuddy-
Mullen dock. The machine emptying
into six hoppers is made by the Brown
Hosting and Conveying Machine COM
pany. and it is said that the company
have orders to build similar machines at
Toledo, Huron and Ashtabula. At the
latter place there is one of the McMyler
machines, which was built last year.
All of these machines are for unloading
cars which have no hoppers in their bot
toms. Iron Age

1t is only the very strong, those with

things here are the dust storms. The
dust is mixed with filth from a town in
which there is next to no sanitation,
and also with cyanide from the mines,
and that, entering the lungs, produces
pneumonia-fatal in a few hours. The
dust storms are so bad at times that they
are comparable to a London fog. Just

IDENTIFY the desire of all patriotic
Americans.
This is the time when some classes
of Americans love to v,Dt their
patriotism. They would introduce
and advocate resolutions far beyond
the Monroe doctrine, they would
flaunt their patriotic courage in the
faces of all who would dare to diff
fer from them; but when war comes
they will be the first to retire INTO
some bomb proof position and re-
main quiet until the storm has pass
ed. Such patriotism is cheap and
disgusting.
The Cuban war is still dragging
along. The Spanish troops have
gained several victories. The Cuban
insurgents evidently are not prepar-
ed to meet the Spaniards in open
battle, but their style Of warfare
has 0een aggressive and very dam
aging to Spain. The change Of
commanders, it is expected will
brin, about more active campaign,
and one marked by inhuman cruelty
Whether such policywill insure to
the advantage of Spain or to the
insurgents, remains to be seen
Those who have been occupying a
neutral position may de driven into
active support of the Cubans.
The sympathy of the United
State. is naturally with the Cubans,
as it i, always with the people who
are fighting for liberty. The result
of the insun ection will be either the
