WASTE oE COMBUSTION.
Much Energy OF Coal Lost IN the
Burning.

Much Energy OF Coal Lost In the
Burning.
A lump of camel is burning on the
CRATE. What takes placer The air is
drawn in beneath the CRATE and rises
through the bars. It's oxygen COM
btnes with the coal 70 produce caroonie-
acid gas, which, together with the inert
nitrogen of the air and the smoke OF
unconsumed carbon. rises in the chin
ney and escapes. This is the role
played by the materials How about
the forces? The chemical union of the
oxygen with the coal sets free the Goals
stored-up energy, and this energy, be-
ing indestruetible, must manifest it
self in some way. and so shows itself as
heat. This is the. whole story of com
bustion.
Sitting before an open fire have
often dreamed of converting the stored
up energy of the coal into some form of
energy even more useful to man than
heat. We know that, theoretically at
least, all natures forces are intereon-
vertible; why should not the potential
energy of coal be converted directly in
toelectricity insteadof into heat? Could
all of the energy be extracted from a
single pound Of coal and made to do me
chanical work, this work would more
than equal days labor of a very
strong man. In the great coal fields
that are distributed over the face of the
earth nature has stored up supply of
energy safely estimated TO be equal to
the hand labor of the entire population
of the world continued for a thousand
years.
The most convenient and useful, be-
cause the most tractable. form of en-
Crgy is electricity. In the facility with
which we may at will and without
waste convert il into such other form of
energy as happens to be desired lies the
superiority of electricity over all the
rest of natures forces. Having cleo
tricity, we may easily produce heat or
light, or mechanical motion, or chem
ical force; but electricity itself has
hitherto been produced in quantity
only by the use of complicated mech
anism and with great waste.
Electricity is to-day generated by a
llldt 10 dil
which is operated by steam, and the
steam is made from water by means of
heat derived from the combustion of
coal. But this is long and circuitous
process, with large leakage at every
step. Much Of the energy of combustion
goes up the chimney as heat or smoke;
much of the heat is lost in boiling the
water to make steam; much of the ex-
pansive force of the steam is wasted as
It escapes from the engine; much of
the power of the engine is wasted as
friction; and there is some loss in the
dynamo itself. Recent tests, made by
committee of the National Electric
Light association, of 80 modern electric
light and power plants, show that the
average plant wastes s7.4 per cent. snd
utilizes as electricity only 2.6 per cent
: of the energy theoretically obtainablt
, from the coal.-.Dr William NJ. Jacques

In the queens Mail.

People often write to Queen Victoria
asking her to lend them small sums,
and promising to repay her in install
ments. Sometimes they write saying
they are unable to pay her taxes, aud
trusting that she will allow the account
TO stand over a bit. The presents the
queen receives by post form a curious
collection. They are invariably re-
turned. Poets send her poems; trades
men specimens of their wares; ladies',
mittens, stockings and other articles
OF attire worked by themselves. When
any member of the household is i'll
medicines pour in from all parts OF the
world, and at Christmas the queen is the
recipient of some hundreds of Christmas
cards, many of them of the most ex
pensive nature.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE GRAPE INDUSTRY.
An Important Business In the Eastern
states.

An Important Business In the Eastern
states.
The management Of the vineyard is an
interesting study and one which to be
successful requires technical knowl-
edge. In the large vineyards, as rule,
the owner himself gives personal super
vision to every detail sometimes
manager or overseer performs these
duties. One of the largest growers Ii
this section tells me that the most sue
cessful grower is the foreigner who
with his family of eight or ten CONF
and leases or buys rs or 50 acres u
land, each member of the family having
his or her part in the work to perform
from spring until picking time, while
the winter is devoted to the making cI
the baskets. Thus no outside exrenG.-
ture is incurred and when the grapes are
sold the proceeds return to the family
as the profit on the individual labor OF
each member-quite in contrast with
the large owner who is compelled to
hire help to do each little thing in adhi-
tion to buying his baskets.
The Concord grape is the only variety
of any consequence raised in this re-
gion, and some idea Of the magnitude
of the business carried on may be had
when it is known that the shipments
this year from Chautauqua county alone
amounted to $500 car loads, 5000 bas-
kets of ten pounds each in each car.
These are taken from the grower by
some one of the numerous growers as
sociations, whose business it is to find
a market. Strange as it may seem 1t Is
nevertheless true that three-fourths ol
them go to points west OF Chicago
while the other one-fourth travels east
ward
The making of baskets is an impor
tant item. Many factories are EN-
ployed The price ranges from two L
two and half cents per basket; thu
the grower who would find his bushes
in any way profitable must in addition
to the cost of the basket realize at leas
one cent per pound for his grapes, Will
to-day it is a common thing to find
! ten-pound basket on the retail marke
slow sale at ten cents. Thus we fin
that the utmost care must taken in tn
management of q vineyard to make
profitable.-Robert Lew Seymour, i

Ladies to Be Admitted to the Prize
Fight.


The following was given out by Mr.. Stuart
on Monday evening:
While much has been said for and against
the admissionlof ladies to the ampitheater
on the day of the Corbett- Fitzsimmons con.
test, and also the Smith Green and Flaherty.
Hawkins engagement, have remained
silent on the subject up to the present time;
have studied up the matter in all of its
meny phases and have been in consultation
with my attorneys and many eminent people
on the subject. After mature and cafeful
consider alton, have decided to admit the
ladies under proper escort. To that end, I
have set aside q section from which the lad
les can view the contest with all the privacy
and comfort possible Especial care will
be taken to protest them. The arena will be
policed sufficiently strong to guarantee ab.
solute immunity from molestation to every.
one who attends. Those intending to with
ness the contest can rest assured that this
can be accomplished with as much comfort
and security as 10 accorded the patrons of
play houses. Rigid efforts will be made to
exclude everything bordering on rowdyism.
In carrying out these efforts I will have full
support of State, county and municipal au
thorities. am operating uuder the laws Of
Nevada. I have been offered and hav.
availed myself of every protection accorded
under these laws. The contest will b.
brought off in an orderly and decorous man
ner, have everylreasonin the world to believe
that these contests will be creditable to

FOR womAn.s GOOD.
Noble slf-sacriace OF the sisters Of the
Good Shepherd.

GOo0 Shephef0s
The hermits of old forswore al
the pleasures of life that they might
devote themselves entirely 10 medita-
ton and prayer-the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd, IN this nineteenth cen
tury, renounce all the material benefits
Of life and shut themselves up in clois-
ters not for themselves alone, not sim
ply to avoid the world and all It's vain
pomps, but frst and above all for the
preservation and redemption of wom-
anhood. Gods creatures irst-unpro-
tected girlhood and erring, sorrowing
womanhood,-the salvation of these
constitute the life work of the Sisters
of the Good Shepherd. For this noble
and Christian end they leave home and
friends, ease and luxury, and renounce
the world as completely as "the hermits
OF old"
No one can join the order of the Good
shepherd unless her reputation and the
reputation of her family Is free from
all blemish. And yet these spoless
women not only bury themselves alive
tor the love of the God they adore, but
they gladly give themselves heart and
soul 10 the preservation and redemption
of their less fortunate sisters
Deep within the stone walls of the
mausoleum which they call their
''house" they work earnestly and loy-
ingly, with willing hands, cheerful
hearts, and dauntless energy, from four
in the morning till nine at night, day
in and day out, year in and year out.
from the day they take their yows.
pledging themselves 10 God and their
special work to the day they lie in thcr
cells dying-and all for womanhood;
for her preservation, if she is virtuou
but helpless; for her salvation If she
| is fallen.
Fallen woman, when the world turns
from her in scorn, when she drinks the
hitter dregs of humiliation and degra-
dation, when all is lost but life and the
power of suffering, fallen woman in
her last extremity can always find a
home and refuge beneath the SAME
roof as the pure, self-sacrifcing Sister
of the Good Shepherd.
70 this heaven-inspired sister there
is no world, and there never will be anF
but the dreary world within the cold
stone walls around her; no society but
that of helpless innocents or wrecked
unfortunates; and yet she goes through
her life cheerful and happy, content and
joyful If she save by gentle precept and
exemplary conduct a few out OF the
thousands to whom she devotes her vir-
tues, her intellectual accomplishment
her patience and her life.--Chicage,
Tribune.

HOW ALAsKANs KILL BEARS.
Novel Tale from the PARKWAY Possession
o. the United States.

o. the United States.
H. J. Darling, who is identified with
the salmon industry of Alaska, as the
owner of an extensive canning plant at
Karluk, Kodiak island, lately arrived
from the north. He brought down
with him some Of the largest bear skins
ever seen in San francisco. One sof
them, perfect and unblemished skin
of an enormous grizzly, measured 12
feet from tip to tip.
Mr.. Barling has marvellous tale to
relate of the native way of killing q
bear.
"There are many grizzlies on Kodiak
island" he said, las we'll as a large mum
bcr of cinnamon bears. was cruising
n launch ia an unfrequented cove one
day when spied two immense grizzlies.
They were so large did not care to go
efter them, but when I got back to
| Karluk | communicated the fact to an
Indian. who bore the reputation of be-
ing one of the best bear hunters in that
section. Although 62 years old, he had
to ask his mothers permission, which,
being granted, he started across the
country after the bears. He simply
armed himself with long spear. He
CREASED his head and got to the wind
ward of the animals. Pretty soon he
heard tramping in the brush and
knew the prey was approaching. He
dug a hole in the ground, planted one
end of the spear firmly with the point
in the direction Of the bear and ther
crouched down. The bear came along
and dashed for the head of the Indian
With swift and deXterous movepent
the native cut a cash in the bears necl
with the sharp spear point. The an
gered animal drew back few yard
and made a rush. He impaled him
self on the spear and all was ver."-

The Narrow and the Broad MIDded.
We have received a marked copy of
paper called "Word and Works" and from
which We clip the following:
"rhs Governor Of Nevada and his prize.
fighting legislature should be compelled to
sit on front seats at the bull-ring, and when

God will rebuks this foul blot upon our
civilization"
This paper is edited by a Rev. Ira R
Hicks Of St. Louis, Mo-, aud the ahsurdity
Of the conception of the pe"ple of the far
West is apparent on its face. There will b.
no bullets from COW boys or thugs, and God

communication to the San Francisco Chcon-
icle:
To the Editor of the Chronicle: ''rhe
Co bait and Fitzsimmons glove contest to
be held in this city on the 18th of March,
will, to my mind, in no way disturbe the
morals of the State of Nevada. Football,
believe, is much more brutal form of sth-
le,ic recreation and has a much more dam
aging influence morally and physically on
young men than baking. In boxing the
rules are drawn so 6ne as to eliminate every
feature Of brutality or foul work. In foot
ball it 10 different Men use their feet as
we'll as their hands in attack and defense,
and the records of the two pastimes show
that fully two-thirds of the football players
Of the pres ut day have either been killed OF
injured in actual play as against one-third
in boxing. Governor Saddler is = very lib.
eral and broad minded man. In signing the
bill lesalizing boxing he performed great
service to the working people of Nevada by
making possible an athletic attraction wh Oh
will give hundreds employment and put
many thousands OF dollars in circulation in
the State No such action on the part of I
legislative body representing and expressing
the will of the people can have anything bu
healthful effect on the morals of a oommun
