porter, shat the finest triple-expansioa
engine on one of the great ocean liners
only obtains about IA per cent. of theo-
retical efficiency in burning her coal,
and that our ordinary steam engine
does not get over six or seven per cent.
therefrom, we cannot overestimate the
recent discovery of q process for gen
Grating the electric current direct from
coal, or coke, and from the process, 1t

of the theoretical efficiency OF ths coal
used has been obtained. Further, it is

pense. The process seems simple
enough, for we take quantity of coke,
reduce it to powder, and make it into
big, round sticks of carbon, that then
look good deal like giant frecrackers.
or the sticks of carbon for an electric
arc light, though very much enlarged.
This stick carbon is suspended in cyl
indrical iron pot, containing an electro
lyte of melted caustic soda. And
when a current Of air, introduced by a
small tube, is driven through this solu-
ton, electrical action is set up, pro-
ducing . current Of extraordinary vol
ume.
ITO gain the necessary voltage, or
I electric pressure, 100 or more of these
iron pots may be put together and their
rims connected by q wire. The whole
plant, or. it may be called battery.
must be inclosed in an oven, to keep the
solution up to a uniform temperature
of about 400 degrees Centigrade.
"A pump to drive the air through the
solution is all the machinery that is re-
quired. No boilers, no engine, no
dynamo, no ashes, no water, no endless
quantity of supplies are needed.
1.-The annual expenditure for steam
power in the United States 10 estimated
at about $450, O0O, OOO-an equivalent, it
IL said. of all the annual cost Of our gen.
eral government, including all improve
ments and expenditures on public
works. The new process will reduce
this expenditure for power to less than
500, 100000. Then, again, there are
over 81 100, O00, 900 invested in steam en-.
gines alone in the United States; the
first cost of the new process would be
one-fourth Of their present value. and
thereafter they can be run for one-fifth
of their present expense. So, it is
claimed by the inventor, that upward
of three-fourths of a billion of dollars
will be saved in the first cost alone.
1.-THE expense of maintenance, or
rather. of attending the process, it is as.
serted, will be very small. The carbon
cylinder will last $50 hours, or ever
more; the inclosing oven has self
feeding attachment, and the attention
required will be no more than an ortli
nary small steam-heating house ar

The old mining camp of Warrens

camp in the northwest. Its pla-

were shallow ground. requiring
very little sluicing off before reach

shoveled into sluice boxes by hand.
The first discovery of gold in this
camp was on Summit Flat, which
is at an elevation Of about 1000
feet above sea level. AS soon as
the news was spread that the camp
of Warrens was struck, from 5000
to 5000 men rushed in from Flor

which were near by. All the
creeks and gulches were claimed
and few hill claims were taken.
The camp was uniformly good. but

City of Mexico, September ia
most sensational ending to the attempt
on the life of President Diaz occurred
this morning when Arnulfo Arroyo
was lynched Dy band of the common
people determined on revenge.
1t was almost unprecedented in the
history of this country.
At one O'Clock in the morning a num-
Der of men belonging to the common
people forced their way into the mu-
nicipal palace, assembled the stairway,
overcame the guards and made their
way to the office of the inspector gen
eral of police and killed Arnulfo Ar
royo, whom they found there.
The killing was a wild and savage
scene and was followed by wilo and
noisy retreat.
The assistant chief of police, who
was sleeping in an adjoining room,
was awakened by the noise.
He arose and ran to the balcony, fir
ing his pistol as a signal for help.
AT the same time he called to po-
liceman who was in sight to make an
attempt to detain the lynchers, who
were making their escape.
The firing of pistols and the whistles
of policemen brought other officers,
who succeeded in capturing a score Of
persons.
1t was not long before the inspector
general and Inspector Villavicencio
arrived on horseback.
When the police entered the room,
they found the body of the dead man,
lying in the middle of the floor. 1t
was literally riddled and hacked with
knife stabs. At his side were found a
door bar and ~several knives and other
steel instruments. An examination
showed that the panes of a window
were broken.
The men who were captured last
night would not say anything. At 2
o'clock the police found a group of
people on one of the side streets a few
blocks from Zocalo. They were talking
and discussing the lynching. They
appeared to know all about the affair
and were evidently in receipt of knOwl-
edge as to it's origin and inspiration
but when they were approached by re-
porters they suddenly became non-com-
mun1catfVe.
On several other streets reporters
found people who seemed 10 know all
about the killing. It may be that the
report spread or it may be that the
people intended to take vengeance upon
the assailant of the president.
When Arroyo was surprised by the
lynchers he was sitting in a chair in
the northeast corner of what was once
Gen Carballada's private Office. There.
mixed with fragments of window
panes. was a long pool of blood mark
ing the spot where Arroyo had been
stabbed. The body was removed to
the Fourth ward police station.
The gendarmes who were guarding
Arroyo were unarmed. If they mad been
armed they would have fired on the
mob.
Over 200 people entered the building.
When they surprised Arroyo he was in
a straight jacket, and could make no
resistance. He seemed too terrified to
speak,
