THE ENDEA VORERS IN WASH 8
INGTON.

The "Convention City," as Wash
ington is now called, wasthe meeting
place recently, of the fifteenth annual
gathering of this fraternal army of
Christian disciples; and to the great
tents pitched on the beautiful White
Lot, south of the White House, came
over 80, 900 Endeavorers from various
states and countries, and were well
coined, ere they reached them, by
5000 District members of their soci-
ETY.. The tents, of course, could not
contain the vast throngs, and the city
churches and halls were freely offer
ed, as in other places, for headquar
ters and services. The general meet
ings were fully and enthusiastically
attended, and the numerous lines of
activity conducted by the Society
were discussed in the special gather
ings held for the purpose. There
were early morning meetings
in thirty three churches, denomina-
tional rallies, junior rallies, mission
airy rallies, evangelistic and consecra-
ton meetings, Bible teaching, etc.,
and yet, though all these were throng-
ed, day and evening, despite rain and
heat, the street cars, shops, public
buildings and pleasure resorts were SO
constantly filed with eager strangers
wearing the @. e. badges, that the
District seemed pervaded with them.
A feature in the program was the
concert given Saturday afternoon on
the eastern front of the Capitol by
the fine chorus of 1000 voices, assist
ed by the famous Marine Band. Over
900 people were present The
meeting place next year will be San
Francisco. The society now numbers
100000 members. It's pledge is
printed in thirty different languages.

The probabilities are that in q few
days not only sheep blood, but human
blood, will be shed.

Engineering contains a description
of a process which has lately teen
brought out by Carl Wegener for util-
has been ground to pass through a 60
mesh screen. is fed into a hopper which
is located in front of the furnace. At
the bottom of the hopper is grating.
which can be agitated from $50 to $50
times to the minute, according to the
rapidity of feed desired. The coal dust
falls through the CRATE into the bend
of an air supply pipe, which enters
the furnace at the top of the furnace
door. AS it falls into this pipe it is
met by the induced draught and carried
into the surface. The interior of the
furnace is lined with friedrich for a
length Of 10 to 12 feet, and has in
addition two friedrich bridges. There
is no CRATE and there are no fire doors,
so called, the combustion being
watched through peep holes. A test
was recently made in Berlin of a Cor
nish boiler, fired first by hand and
again by the same coal in powdered
condition The results show that the
dry powdered coal evaporated from
and at 212 degrees 9.12 pounds of water
per pound of dry coal, as against GAS
pounds for solid coal, fed by hand stok-
ing. 1t was claimed that the poor con-
lition of the CRATE is responsible, for
the very low results in the latter case.
The trial, however, shows good econ
omy for the Wegener system. The
grinding costs about ten per cent. OF
the value of the coal.
