An English Sleeping Car.

The Great London and Northwestern
Railroad company has lately introduced,
with much satisfaction to the travelling
public on that important route, new
description of sleeping car. These cars
were built at Wolverhampton from de
signs by & Park, the well known
expert in this branch. each car being 70
feet long and Etving six wheel trucks,
and the end platforms are described as
being completely incl0sed, so as to pre-
vent the o!raftiness Of side doors-ln

PLACING FURNACES.
Position of the Heater and Best Arrange
ment of Pipes.

POSITION OF the Heater and Best Arrange
ment of Pipes.
Furnace heat is merely heat brought to
the room by air, and the disposition of the
heat depends ON laws of the circulation of
air. The main one of these laws is that
should be placed as low in cellars as posi-
BILE, giving chance for long upward rise
and therefore strong current Air will
not naturally travel in a horizontal posi-
ton, and when the furnace is set low, one
has a chance to slope the pipes upward
when passing through the cellar This is
especially important if there are any long
runs.
Have the position, however SO that
there will be no very long runs. Select q
point north of the center of the house. so
that the north rooms have the shortest
horizontal pipes. This gives greater sup
ply of heat in the rooms that need it most
Not alone is the south side warmer because
of the sun all day, but the northwest
rooms have the serious effect of the cold
winds. The latter force cold air into the
exposed rooms, so that the furnace has
double duty to perform there. 1t often
happens that the force of the wind is so
strong that it will drive air down the fur
mace pipe, SO that instead of warm air
coming into the room from the furnace
practically the room is the cold air box for
the supply of the other rooms. This can
be avoided by placing the heater under
this part of the house
A general rule for a compact dwelling
Is to have the furnace placed one-third the
entire length of the cellar, from the north
west corner, getting the air supply direct
from the north or direction of prevailing
cold winds.-Minneapolis Tribune

spires pointing skyward and dotting the

to decay or to destruction by fire and Is

In planning this church, site and re-
uuirements had to be carefully considered,
the lot being 100 feet square on a corner
of two streets, with an up grade on the
side street, necessitating different levels
for the entrances and interior steps. The
church covers 50 feet in width and 81 feet
in depth, all steps and stairs except at the
front center entrance being on the inside
The main audience room on first story IS
SO by 81 feet and seats 500 people, with
opera chair mode of seating. The organ is
planned so as to be in rear of the plat
form, with organist and choir gallery over,
which is reached from the stairway in side
entrance This manner of placing organ
and choir I have found the best that can
be devised, as it brings them into direct
evidence with the congregation and en-
ables them to work in unison to better adj
vantage.
There is basement to the building,
giving parlors, library, chapel and school
rooms. A kitchen is also provided under
pastors study, and the space under center
part of rear and organ is devoted to heat
ing apparatus. The ceiling of basement
is 10 feet inches; first story audience
room, 26 feet high, the whole being well
lighted and ventilated. The roof is OF
open timber construction, showing main
| timbers and a plaster paneled surface on
underside, jack raftcrs and ceiling-a1l be
| ing painted and tinted in neat colors--

The practice adopted by the French
navy for the preservation of boilers not
in use is different from that generally
i'll vogue, and it is worth at least max
ing note of They seem to take the
bull by the horns. Instead of emptying
the boiler they fill it completely full of
fresh water and then add to the water q
certain amount of milk of lime or soda
The solution used is not SO strong for
boilers with small tubes. 1t is intended
to be Just sufficient to neutralize any
acidity of the water Particular atten-
ton is given to the outsides of the tubes
if they are not to be used for long
time. They are painted with red lead
or coal tar as far as they are accessible,
and for the rest protective coating is
obtained by burning tar, the smoke OF
which will form a coating of SCOT. Be-

Moreover, through the efforts of the
real estate company the city has ex-
tended the sewer system north from

The Engineer of London illustrates
a queer looking French locomotive, de-

reduce air resistance Regarding this
The Engineer says:
The remarkable contour of the loco
motive we illustrate on this page needs
no comment From time to time per-
sons forget that the end friction OF elon-
gated bodies moriEg at high veloc1tles
is practically negligible when compared
with the sid friction and attempt to
reduce resistance by providing the body
with pointed beak or Prov, even at
the expense of increased surface 1t is
true that projectiles are pointed at the
leading extremity, but 1T has been shown
by experiment that the gain i'll velocity
from so doing is only slight. The pro
jectile however, flies more steadily,
and it is therefore pointed. An elon-
gated projectile with an hem1spherlcal
end, but tapering toward the rear ex-
trenlity, is about as good for flight as
any. The porpoise very closely follows
this shape, and perhaps the great speed
attained by this animal is dependent III

strength of 10000 volts. which can be
increased to COO 600 volts by means of

A conclusion arrived at by the pro-

Watch Canned Goods.

When a can is bulged, the contents
should not be used, as the condition of
the tin shows that air has reached the
inside and decomposition has set in,
which has caused gases to be generated.
The gases thus formed have forced the
tin to bulge Cases Of poisoning through
eating canned fruit and meats are SO
