Upon his arrival in America a few days
ago, Lord Kelvin, the famous English
scientist was extensively sought BY in
reviewers. but, strange to say he did
not, as some scientists would have done,
launch forth into an extended discussion
Of the recent intricate electrical theories,
preferring it seems, TO give the report
ers few practical and timely thoughts
and suggestions upon the com
mouplace subject Of garbage. Now,
garbage Is not thing to which
the public generally gives great deal
Of attention. and public officials do so only
in so far as concerns the most convenient
and economic method OF getting rid Of it,
as, for instance in Savannah, where it
is consumed at the crematory.
Tho garbage thrown away every year by
municipalities, Lord Kelvin says, is worth
millions of dollars. but. instead of its be-
ing utilized, hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars are spent in removing it, and often
dumping it in places where it becomes a
menace to life and health. Lord Kelvin
has figured out scientifically that ten
tons Of garbage are equal TO one ton Of
coal, or, in other words, with modern sci
entifc appliances. such as have recently
been put into practical application at
Shoreditch, Eng, the same power in the
shape Of steam or gas that is obtained by
the combustion of one ton Of coal can be
obtained by the combustion of ten tons
of garbage. From the garbage of the
Shoredtch district enough energy is now
being obtained to run the district steam
plant and so long as the garbage can be
had not an ounce of coal is needed. OF
course, the production of pOwer-giving
steam and gas from garbage requires a
specially designed furnace, in which the
necessary temperature may be produced
but the cost is nothing compared to the
immense saving that ultimately results
Lord Kelvin elaborated somewhat upon
these ideas, and has given the American
people a very interesting and instructive
lesson, and one which, it seems, they
would do well to profit by.
1t is not known just exactly what
amount of garbage Savannah has to make
away with annually but. taking the
case Of Shoreditch, whose municipal plant
secures all of its power from the combus-
there is some relation which can be es-
tablished between the garbage product and
the power needed for a municipal plant,
in almost every community. Savannah's
garbage is now consumed at a crematory
a few hundred yards from where the
city's water works plant eats up hundreds
of tons of coal every year. 1t costs the
tax payers money to get rid of it, a nee
essary riddance, of course, since health
is involved. If this garbage can be made
a source of revenue, instead of expense. by
saving the purchase of all or even half
the coal now employed in furnishing pow
er for the water works, thus involving a
double saving TO the tax payers-and Lord
Kelvin says this can be done-it might
be well to investigate the new system
as early as practicable with a view to
tightening the burdens of the people.

a Homeless Task.

Those who have undertaken the task of
defending the board of county commission
ers against the charge that the work in
Buckhalter swamp is being prosecuted
without plans or any idea of the ultimate
cost of the work. have repeatedly referred
to alleged plans that were made previous
to 1898, intending thereby to convey to the
public mind the idea that the present
board is simply carrying out project be-
gun by its predecessors. Such references
are a plain perversion of facts. The pro-
priety of draining Buckhalter swamp was
called to the attention of the old board
and a resolution was passed directing the
county engineer. Mr. Blandford, to look
into the matter and report upon it. He re-
ported, submitting map, not plan for
the work. The map was a general out
line, drawn for the purpose of explaining
the written report. The matter was then
laid over, and other and more important
ana necessary business taken up.
Even that outline map did not in any
manner connect the drainage of Buckhal-
ter swamp with that of the Musgrove wa
tershed. or any other local drainage. In
fact, to the contrary, no member of the
board holding office prior to 1898 ever let
such a ridiculous idea get into his head To
talk about draining Buckhalter swamp in
order TO improve the drainage around the
city would have shown, to employ the Ian
guage of Commissioner Kehoe that the
Uranium of the person proposing it "had
no sense in IT,"
II is waste of time. as some of the
commissioners will find out after awhile.
to try to fool the people about Buckhalter
swamp. Commissioner Kehoe has shown
that the proposed improvements in that
far away barony, involving a large expen-
diture Of labor and money, have been un-
dertaken without the authority OF the
board Of commissioners, and that no plans
or estimates have ever been submitted to
and accepted by that body as was custom
ary with previous boards in all matters
whore drainage was TO be done. IL would
he well for those who are az the bottom
Of the effort TO befudde the people TO re-
member what Lincoln said: "You can fool
all OF the people some Of the time, ana YOU

but YOU cannot fool all OF the people all
of the time"

Talking of the expected rush to Alaska
next year, J. b. Montgomery says, ac-
cording to the Morning Oregonian. 1T
reminds me of the Chill Flour Companys
venture in 1850. At that time had a kins-
man, Mr. William c. Moorhead, who was
United States consul at Valparaiso, in
Chilli His consulate, previous to the
rush OF the gold seekers for California,
was worth .ess than 5000 year. The ships
that sailed around Cape Horn all stopped
at Valparaiso TO take in provisions and
water. The fees increased his income so
that it reached $4,000 per snnum Mr.
Moorhead was man Of affairs. He had
been a merchant in New York before he
was a consul. He saw his opportunity. He
consulted with Mr.. Waddington and Mr.
Whitehead, who were English merchants
in Valparaiso They formed a company:
each put in $500 capital. Mr.. Moor
head then rode some hundreds of miles
down the coast to the -four mills at Con-
ception. and made contract 20 take all
their output FOR sc per barrel, delivered free
on board. 1t cost 81 more TO take it TO
San Francisco In 1873 he told me the
outsome OF this venture.
"a few days before the first arrival in
California man came into Mr.. Moorhead 3
Office In San Francisco
Have you any -four 20 sell?' he asked
eYes; shiplosd of 1900 barrels. which
will arrive in a few days.
How much do you want for the cargo?
~ want SIS per barrel
ITO cut the story short. Moorhead told
me they concluded the terms at Si4.5O per
barrel and without handling the -four they
cleared $4,000 on the first cargo.
"At the end OF fourteen months Messrs
Moorhead, Whitehead Waddington eos
cd up the chill Flour Company's business
with profit OF 100000 Something like this

Pins were introduced into England in
the sixteenth century by Catharine
Howard, wife OF Henry VIII. They
were at that time made OF gold, silver.
brass or ivory. and were worn In the
hair or on the clothing as ornaments.
II Is said that Spanish pin manufao-
turers were allowed to sell them only
during the Christmas holidays, and II
became he custom for gentlemen 70
give the ladies OF the family money
with which to buy pins at Christmas
tide. From this custom the term pin

! Of cheap and useful pins was intro
dueed in England In the latter part Of
the sixteenth century. and BirminS-
! ham soon became the center OF this

manufacture was attempted in $780,
and again in 1924. but did not amount

the Howe machine In 1882. The orig
