LAME POST RESTAURANTS
Ingenious Device Invented bv an
EngliShman.

An English dreamer, in the earliest
days of coin in the slot crazes con-
ceived the idea Of utilizing the waste
neat OF the London street lamps to the
heating of water. which should be sold
by a small sum per gallon by an auto.
matte device. The comic papers
thought this invention a good thing
for their business and poked ali man
ner of fun at it. Yet the undaunted in
ventor succeeded in interesting capital,
and the result was hat the "Pluto Hot
Water Syndicate' was formed, and
n of h features of the CRYSTAL Pal
ace exhibition of this year is an exhibi-
ton of it's device for not Only convert
ing every lamp post in the city into a
not water hydrant, but also to furnish
the public at all hours cup of tea, coffee
and cocoa or beef tea piping hot at the
nominal price of three halfpence per
cup.
The automatic hot water and refresh
llent machines take the form of q lamp
post larger than those in general use.
The automatic slot machine is of the
usual type, and is connected with a
ever working the tap, and this cannot
De depressed excepting while the coin is
in the slot.
III connection with this apparatus is
another slot machine supplied with
small cardboard cases cO%ntaining tea.
coffee. cocoa, each with an allowance cf
condensed milk. and beef juice, and
these packets are obtained Just as is
the case with sweets or other slot ma
hln wares. The method by which these
cOmeStlbleS are packed is novel and eX-
tremely ingenious.
h tea. for instance, is contained in
a muslin bag neatly made and drawn
tight with thread. while by it's side in
the case lies a roll Of vegetable parch-
ment, with a cork at either end, con-
tanning just sufficient condensed milk
to mix with the tea.
Coffee is similarly adjusted, while in
the case of cocoa the powder is ready
worked into a paste with condensed
milk: TO provide for the consumption
of the wares thus sold a plated cup is
chained to the lamp-post, the process to
be followed thus being to first purchase
the tea or coffee. which costs a penny,
Their to drop a half-penny in the hot
water apparatus Slot. and having
washed the cup out. to place the in
gradients in the cup, tur on the water,
drink the beverage and continue on
ones way refreshed.

Millions Of Mouse TRAPS.

This is the time Of veal when there is
the greatest demand for mouse traps.
AS cold weather approaches the mice
seek shelter in the houses of men, and
men buy traps to catch them. There
are various kinds Of mouse traps, in
Guiding those that require no setting
n that take mice alive. and those that
require to be set n that kill the mice.
In this last class are the familiar old
fashioned wood mouse traps, some
made square and some round, having
holes in the sides through which the
mouse thrusts it's head to get at the bait
fixed on a hook within. Traps of Ibis
kind are called chokers. Many kinds
of mouse traps are sold by the gross or
Dozen. The wood chokers, varying in
size, are sold at wholesale at SO much
a dozen holes. Taking all the kinds to-
gether, there are made in this country
n sold here millions Of mouse traps
annually, and American mouse traps
In large numbers are exported to many
foreign countries.

SAID: AS soon as we reach Dawson

from her earnings to start a clubhouse,
where we a invite the young men
away from the drinking places and keep
out of mischief those men who go with
our party. No liquor will be taken On

THE MODERN MANCLE,
Ironing Machines With a Daily Ca
pacity of Thousands of Pieces.

Mangles in one form and another
lave been used for hundreds of years,
but the steam mangle of the present
day is essentially a modern machine.
Steam mangles are made of various
Sizes, with rolls ranging in length from
As inches to 100 inches. One of the rolls
is of hollow steel. n heated with
steam. The auxiliary rolls are of iron,
covered with cotton cloth and blankets
or telling. Steam mangles are made
also with two hot rolls. In ironing such
things as sheets and table cloths by
hand, it is customary to iron one side
only: Steam mangles with a single hot
roll iron in that n with two hot
rolls the steam mangle irons with a
smooth finish on both sides.
Mangles are used only for flat articles;
for things without buttons or buckles:
Tor sheets n pillow cases, table cloths
and napkins, towels and handkerchiefs
and so on. Mangles Of the largest size
will iron of a hotels washing, taken just
as it comes. ID, 900 pieces in a day; of
small pieces, such as napkins, they will
iron four times as many pieces in a day.
From the washing machine the things
go to an extractor to be dried. The
revolves at a high speed, and
the moisture is Whirled out by centri-
Iugal action. From the extractor, just
damp enough to work we'll, the things
go to the mangle. Such things as sheets
are 1ed into the great ironing machine
by two men. each holding a corner.
Ihere is a fixed table, as long as the
rolls, attached to the machine on the
other side; two men receive the sheet
there and fold it. In ironing small
pieces like napkins and towels on such
a machine they would be fed in a row
by girls standing on one side and re-
celved by another row Of girls on the
other side. American steam machines
are used not Only in this country h,t
they are sold in all the countries of
Europe as well.
A great many mangles are made with
wood rolls Of polished maple. Such man
giles are sometimes operated by power,
but commonly by hand. They are used
in hotels and laundries and for house
hold work. Mangles with wood rolls are
exported to the various countries of
Spanish America n to South Africa
and Australia.

EGYPTIAN EXPEDITION.

The Advance to Khartoum Will Prob

no reason why Kitchener should be
superseded, except on account of his
youth. = Sir Herbert Kitchener was
born in 1850 and Sir Redvers Butler

MAY DEFEAT THE TREATY..
Nicaragua Canal Comm IN ication Likel
to Have a Wide Influence.

Nicaragua Canal Comm I'm ication likely
to Hare Wide Influence.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-Senators gen"
orally realize that the communication
OF Minister Rodriguez in regard to the
Nicaragua canal franchises which was
sent to the senate Friday, is liable to
have immediate effect upon not only
the canal bill but also .1pon other pend
ing and probable legislation, including
the general Anglo American arbitration
treaty.
Quite as important as the effect upon
the Nicaragua bill itself, is the in
fuea2ce which Ehe communicates is
likely to have upon the arbitration
treaty. Many senators believe that the
new position as assumed by the Central
American powers is the result of Erlt-
ish influence and Cine effect is to cause
those who hold THIS belief to stand aleof
from any alliance with England.
Members of the committee Oh foreign
relations freely express the opinion l.
private conversation that the effect g.
the communication will be entirely
against the treaty.
