er many of these devices are more or less
effective, but no apparatus yet construct
ed has been able to wthSta nj the force
of the breakers at such times.
The only safe method is TO construct n
floating apparatus. Long experience with
floating lghtsbips demonstrates that it
is perfectly feasible TO construct vessels
which may safely ride at anchor during
the most violent hurricanes.
Given properly constructed floating YES
sci, there remains only tie construction Of
a device which shall utilize and store up
for transmission ashore of the enormous
power which the waves exert upon tie float
ing vessel which tCsscs up and down on
the surface This is an easy task. Sub
merge beneath the surface float at
distance Just below the influence of the
pillows a second float or platform, which
shall act as j resistance to the surface
vessel. and yet transmit that resistance
in the form of mechanical energy to aGe-
chored vessel above.
HOW 1T SHOULD BE DONE.
Firmly attached to the submerged float
are tubular cylinders, preferably of brass,
which pass up throGgh apertures in the
surface float, their tops rising two or
three feet above tie deck of the latter.
To framework on the deck OF this float
are rieidiy fastened iron rods, 10 whose
lower ends are affixed closely fitting
plungers, which operate as pistons in the
cylinders. With u system OF valves in
the openings in thcir cylinders you have a
series of pumps, whose pluDgers are op-
Grated by the rising and falling surface

Connected 10 these valve openings re two
or more cylindrical reservoirs. according

OLD WHISKY BEATS NEW.
Fuscl Oil and Its Poisonous Effects
ON the Human system.

The commonly prevailing ideas as 10 the
chemistry OF WHISKY are evidently cunI used.
The pubic notion has always been unat
crude or freshly ulstiiled whisky was H.
Juriois anu tnaI II required the nenowing
influence OF age To make IL lit lor COLI
sumption.
Ib utuer wards, new whisky WAS held to
be detetcrious because 1t contained fusel oil.
anu that The reason why old whisky was
more wholesome was tecause this fusel oil
changed in course Of time to the so-cllled
oenanthic ether. To put it chemically, the
amyi alcohol tfusel oil oXldizes slowly Int.
ainyi ether. which is not Cnly thought to te
innocuous but to improve the flavor. The
deputy principal! OF the inland revenue
branch or the government III laboratory would
remove these Butions at one sweep.
Thus, in reply TO a question Lefore the
liquor commission on Tuesday last he
stated-and It was a repeated statement
that II was Il mistake to suppose that new
spirits Contained more fusel oil and were
IiIore uuwholesmne than old.
With the former part OF his statement
We will not now deal but to the
latter we distinctly demur. 1t cannot
be supposed that whisky merchants take
the trouble to- store their whisky for
years unless they know that it is thereby
inpT owed from the dietetic point OF
view. Again, 1t Is well known that so
copvinced are the auth critics OF the
Canadian government of the unwhole-
someness OF new whisky that We believe
they have a regulation in force pro-
hibting the sale of whisky that has not
been stored for a certain number OF
years.
FuseI Oil is admittedly injuri ous-in-
deed, pois onous-a ccording, at least,
to the experiments of several observers.
