Electric Lighting md Other Uses of
Power From Garbage.
From Casters Magazine
Garbage and town refuse disposal is one
matter where the cities of Europe are far
ahead of those Of this country. An ideal
plant of this kind is that at Rochdale
England. Investigators have all agreed
that burning is the best way to dispose of
the accun ulations. This preference is due
to the fact that by this method not only is
all organic matter liable to putrefy and be-
come a menace to the health of the COM
munity destroyed. but it 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 can 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 fifty-fiye such de-
structors in different parts of England
The health committee Of Rochdale, a man
ufacturing town of 1900 inhabitants. re-
Gently adopted the method. with the idea
of ultimately using the steam produced for
electric lighting purposes. 1t has been
found that this rough. unscreened refuse,
running as much as 35 per cent Of clinker
and ash. will evaporate 1.6 pounds of
water for every pound Of refuse burned,
under boilers built to produce steam at 120
pounds pressure. Coal burned under the
water per pound of coal. The two boilers
have a CRATE surface OF forty-flve square
feet each. 1n building the two destructor
cells a laIfye combustion chamber, COM
mon to both. was provided between them
and the boilers. 30 that the gases could in
termingle, and that time should be allow
ed for the combustion of gases before they
came in contact with the comparatively
cold surface of the boiler noting the fact
that II Cnce the organic matter IN the
fumes were heated sufficiently high no
amount Of subsequent cooling down could
again make them malodorous.
1t is interesting to note that 1t Is not
necessary 20 use coal to aid in the burning
of this refuse The plant has been able to
produce $40 brake horse power, burning
two tons of refuse per hour. This high
efficiency is obtained with ordinary boilers
by using forced draught. The weight of
the refuse is reduced two-thirds and the
volume three-fourths.
The author says in conclusion: 1.-The dis
posal of two-thirds of the refuse COM
pietely is an important matter, but when
to this is added the fact that the remain
ing third is rendered quite free from any
organic matter whatever. II is past con-
ception that corporations and local COM
panies will continue to tip such immense
quantities of purefactlve matter away
when. il they put in suitable appliances
ard used the steam which can be produced
the refuse might be burned and q profit
made on the transaction"

One who signs himself "a Good Govern

fcial of the city for doing his duty and en-
as he seems to think ne is government
rider" he would not rush into print, nor con-
tribute IS to help prosecute one who does his
div. IL ne had ever visited Chicago Or New
York he would soon observe that the method
persued by said official is the only one in
vogue In every city of any size where there
is necessity of stopping reckless rides and
there is not city on the map where there Is SC
much of that style of riding as right here in
st. Paul. There were high hopes that the
election Of Mayor Doran would be for the
better, and careless and law-breaking riders
be compelled to change the course that they
had seen fit to follow for so long, but has it :?
Stand or walk along Summit or Dayton ave-
nues any evening between and g. or for a
short time walk along East Sixth, East Sew
enth or st. Peter streets between the above
mentioned hours and you can find any num-
Der of cyclers without bells or lights and
miles per hour. Can the police catch one Of
these life-and-limb endangering cylers? Let
them try. I ride and have ridden wheel
for five years and am not sore head and
obey the law, and IL others would do likewise
cycling would not gradually fall into those
straits where the most stringent laws will
have to be made and enforced to protect the
lives of pedestrians. II Is time for the mayor
to issue an order for the arrest of any cycler
repealed. Did the municipal judges do their
duty and make several examples OF those ar
rested there are many who would be grateful
and 1t would be far safer to cross from one
side Of the street to the other. Yours truly

1T WAS ANDERSON's GAME.
Tigers Get But Six Hits Off the
MiIIers

Varney Anderson would have won his game
yesterday, even if the Tigers had not been
in a crippled condition. He was the star
player of the day beyond question. Gillen
made three hits off from him, and the visit
ors only made six altogether. Anderson was
also steady, and did some terrific batting.
Ely pitched about the same kind of game
all through, but in some innings the Miners
found him better than at other times, but
they generally found him. The hitting was
something terrific, Schriver putting the ball
over the left field fence twice, and 1t never
went over there once until Detroit came
here. The fielding of the Millers was almost
perfect, Balls error being q poor throw after
a wonderful stop.
Minneapolis scored in the first on a walk,
sacrifice and Werden's single. In the
second, Nicholson made an error, Ball a
sacrifice and Anderson, Connors, LaIly and
Wflmot singles. The net result was five
runs. In the third. Ball walked and scored
on singles by Anderson and Connors In the
seventh, Schriver made homer and a
double, Kuehne and Lally singles Anderson
and Werden doubles and Fifeld two errors
All this meant seven runs. In the eighth,
Whistler's error and Connors' homer netted
two. In the ninth, Schriver made another of
his home runs.
Detroit started to make the game inter-
esting in the second inning, when frost
made hit and came home on Gillen's hit
over the right fence. In the seventh inning
Gfllen made a beautiful double. Stallings
popped one up which both Wilmot and Con-
nors looked at while the captain was going
to second. Then Gillen scored on FifeId's
ny to Frank, and Stallings came home on
Elys ny out at first. The score:

ball over the right fence and scored
the anarchist. GlasScock hit a hot one
which Wheelock was lucky to stop.
Glasscock started for second, and man
aged to hang between life and death
long enough for O'Rourke to rush
across the plate. A pair of pretty stops
by Shugart and Camps strike out re-
tired Grand Rapids.
George made two Dagger in the
eighth, and stole third. Stratton hit
to Gilks, who tried to cut George off
at the plate. Smink refused to touch
the fielder, in his ingenious, stubborn,
bull headed sort of way, an threw the
ball back to Gilks as a hint to take
STATIONS life. Stratton was already
safe, but double retired him on the
next ball. That was st. PauPs eleventh
and last run.
Parker sent fly to left field which
George fumbled. Carney, who was sit
ting in the clubhouse door, yelled to
him to tie his gloves on for fear he'd
drop them, too, and Phyle gave Nc
Bride base again. Wheelock sent a
fly to Stratton. Gilks hit a beauty to
right, and Parker scored. Gettinger
drove the ball over the fence, and Nc
Bride came in. Mcfarland flew out to
Shugart, who took the ball in a nice
run. Mills hit to left field and Gilks
scored, but Gettinger made the mis-
take of trying to run in on one of
Billy Georges throws, and 1t resulted
fatally at the plate.
No Apostle reached first base in the
ninth
Smink opened the Gold Bugs half
by hitting the hat on the fence the
second time it has been done this
season.
Camp after striking out four times,
hit one to right field and Smink scored.
The visitors were only three behind.
Parker however, forced Camp out, and
Mcbride forced Parker out. Wheelock
got the ball into right field, but STRAIT

I'm Narrow Quarters.

Buffalo Courier. yu .Scss4
A Springfield (Mass) man is erecting a
brick business block eighty feet long, four
feet deep, including the walls. and eight feet
high. The strip of land which it will occupy
has been lying idle for nearly twenty years
and has been source of some expense to its
ent possessor, who is determined to derive
revenue from it. He intends to devote the
building he Is erecting to offices, shoemaker
shops and a bicycle repository. There will
be a space of less than three feet between the
front and back walls. By letting the doors
open outward and having his tenants sit par
alel with the street he thinks he can accom-
modate enough of them to insure him profit
on his investment. But they will have to be
small men to be entirely comfortable in the
narrow quarters he is providing.
