bleak Glasnevin cemetery. where they
heaped high the grave Of their famous
and lamented leader with flowers

and the suits OF woe and converted into
triumphal procession. lively national

There Were more than thirty bands In
the procession, and every county ara

towns. haC official representation. No
u.iion jack was carried. but nearly every
county delegation raised the stars ard
stripes next TO the green. One Of tire
most suggestive features Of the Demon

On the arrival OF the procession at the
cemetery the committee ard the MEM

wreaths and floral tokens on the grave.
There was no speech-making and moth

AN ELECTRIC FURNACE.
Boston Scientist Claims to Have
Solved a Great Problem.
III His idea Proves Practical tho Cost OF
an Electric Light Plant Would BE
just One-Fourth OF What
1t Is at Present.

To produce electricity as the direct
result of the consumption of carbon,
without the intervention of a dynamo,
is problem at present occupying the
attention of many electrical engineers.
When it is known that the best results
obtainable in producing the electric
current by the employment of the most
improved type of engine operating
triple-eXpansion steam dynamo, is not
above II or is per cent, under the most
favorable circumstances, it is not
strange that inventors are looking for
vastly greater results with more direct
methods. The great losses that occur
at every stage in the indirect CONVEX
sion of carbon energy into electrical
energy naturally suggest the question
as to why not get the current direct
from such consumption without the in
termediate steps. The theoretical adj
vantages have long been appreciated,
and at the present time the practical
attainment of them in n high degree
seems not impossible.
For many years it has. been KNOWN
that current of electricity could be
produced by burning carbon in contact
with an electrolyte capable of sup
plying it with oxygen, and while vari-
pus apparatus has been constructed
on this principle, from which feeble
current was obtained, true carbon
consuming electric furnace, showing
an efficiency of IS per cent, has now
been constructed by DR.. w. w. Jacques,
of Boston. As such an efficiency is
greatly in excess of that exhibited by
any previous apparatus the importance
of this invention is at once apparent.
DIR. Jacques began his Investigations
five or six years ago, and prosecuted
series of experiments which demon
strated the practicability of his electric
furnace. The invention is based on the
discovery that if oxygen, whether pure
