Big Snow Melting Machines.

Iron, snow eating monsters have
been designed by two Paterson. N.
j., men for the removal of snow from
the streets of cities, and several are at
work now in New York City.
Each machine is about twenty-five
feet long, says the n. Y. Journal. Un-
der the seat is tank holding two
barrels of naphtha. Back of that is
small engine and system of pumps so
arranged as to send the gas to the rear
half of the machine, where it passes
through a series of pipes and comes
out in a lame at the base of a massive
hopper made of quarter-inch steel rods
coming to an apex in the centre of the
hopper, against which the snow banks
when it is shovelled in, forming a roof
shaped stack with. a hollow centre.
Into this blast of air is shot from a
huge fan driven by steam from the
engine, and a powerful draft is thus
generated. The temperature rises to
800 degrees Fahrenheit, and tons of
of the gas, running out in a perpetual
stream at the rate of a cubic yard of
melted snow a minute.
Twenty-Five men find their hands
fall feeding one machine with snow.
The inventors figure that seven hours
of shovelling a day at the rate demand
ed by the machine will convince any
man tnaL ne mas done hard day 5
work. The more material piled into
the hopper the better the draft works,
and the more rapid the consumption
A test case made on Worth street
recently proved that the higher the
mound of snow against the centre stack
of rods the hotter the flames became
While the machine is formidab BILE
| locking affair, it makes no noise be-
yond the pounding of the engine. A
! thin tongue of naphtha fire appears
above the embankment of snow, and
the mass sinks and sinks rapidly until
it runs out at the bottom, in a steam OF
! hot water.
II is estimated that one machine can,
in twenty-five hours, clear an entire
crOss-town street of every fragment OF
snow and leave it perfectly clean and
dry. Three or four machines passing
up Broadway would make that thor.
ougbfare clean street in a day and a
night. More of them are soon to be
put in operation, and by the middle ci
winter a snOwstOrm will stand no more
show of cOngesting New York's bust
ness centres than a glass of beer would
satiate BOwery ball.

The Revista International says the
Mexican Central, is still checked up
with cars, not so much to the rapidity
with which freight has been shipped
in as to the tough condition of the
motive power. In consequence of this
glut in the yards, orders have been
given to admit no more freight to
Juarez until the yards are cleared to
some extent. The Revista extends a
cordial invitation to the Central people
to get move on themselves and buy
better engines.

Further Restrictions to immigration.

Further Restrictions to immigration.
Last Thursday, the senate passed the
Lodge immigration bill, providing for
further restrictions to immigration
The vote by which the measure passed
was % to TO- showing that the senate is
overwhelming in favor of placing
further and radical restrictions upon
| imm grafton.
Although the bill will have to pass
! the house of representatives. there is
every reason to expect that il will
stand an even better chance of passage
there than it did in The upper house.
As finally acted on Thursday, the
measure provides that all immigrants
over l6 years OF age must be able to
! read and write their mother tongue, or
some other language: but it is further
provided that any admissible immi-
| grant over l6 years of age may bring
into the country his parent or grand
parent, minor child or graudchild, or
MS vile, even if such persons are un-
able to read and write.
In order to determine the ability of
immigrants to read and write, the in
spectors are to be provided with
large number of small strips of paste
board upon which extracts from the
constitution of the United States will
be printed in the various languages
The strips must be placed in boxes,
separate box being provided for each
language. The immigrant will be
required to draw from the box contain
ing the lines printed in his language
one OF the slips, and will be further
required to read in the presence of
the Inspector the lines printed thereon,
and afterwards copy them in writing.
The strips, after being used, are to be
carefully returned to the boxes, and
every precaution is to be taken to pre-
vent immigrants from drawing the same
lines successfully.
There can be no denying that this
Lodge bill is by far the most radical
restriction yet placed upon immigra-
tlon. The percentage of iIliteracy
among migrants is quite large, so
become law, will be sure to exclude a
very large number of people, and thus
restrict immigration.
by an amendment adopted with prac-
teal unanimity, the provisions of the
DILL were not made to apply to residents
