SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.
A smokeless Fuel That Seems to De
Gaining I'm Popularity.

Gaining I'm Popularity.
In the future we may be exporting
masut instead of exporting coal, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Masut is
by-product in the distillation Of raw
petroleum. 1t is also manufactured
from a cheap brown coal found in Sax
ony. There has been, until recently,
great trouble in finding furnace suit
able for burning it. 1t is now blown
by steam into a special furnace, on the
principle of the Lucigen light, and used
without difficulty. 1t is 40 or so per
cent. cheaper than coal, and is 20 per
cent. better as heat raiser. Steam can
be got up quicker and kept at higher
pressure. and more work can be done
by the machinery. From a naval point
OF view these are vitality important
facts. No sign of a ship under full
steam will be shown in the sky, for ma
suit Is a smokeless fuel. Russia and
Italy are using il in their navies, and
Germany has lately made some valuable
experiments. AT Kiel, Wilhelmshaven
and Danzig are tanks from which it
can be pumped into ships. It's specific
gravity being SO much less than that
Of coal, a ships buoyancy is greatly In
creased when the bunkers are filled
with IL. Heavier armor or cargoes can
be carried. The heating capacity be-
ing greater, the ship can travel faster or
farther. 1t is yet to be learned what
improvements the Germans have nitric
duced into thew furnaces, and what
are the disadvantages of masut.

WOOD MOSAIC OF SAWDUST.
Highly Ornamental Process for Mold
ing Doors and Floor Material.

Highly Ornamental Process for Mold
ing Doors and Floor Material.
In the reports of the Industrial union
mention is made of a new process OF
floor mosaic. says the Yale Scientific
Monthly. Small particles of wood, as
sawdust, wood -four and fine shavings,
are treated first with a mixture of shell
lac and alcohol. and then with a cement
made of curd and Stacked lime. While
this mixture is still damp, 1t is put into
hot molds of the desired shape and size,
and placed under pressure. The joint
action of the heat and pressure unite
the wood most thoroughly with both
the shellac and the cement. After few
minutes the compound is taken out Of
the molds when ii is thoroughly coolel
and hardened. Great care is necessary
that no foreign substances, especially
Of an oily nature, be present, as Il would
prevent the cement from being alb
sorbed into the pores of the wood. in
making different colored mosaic the
natural color of the woods used is takep
into consideration. then the wood itself
is dyed. and lastly dyes dissolved In
alcohol are mixed with the shellac. The
process is then performed as before.
In spite of its hardness this compound
possesses all the perfection of wood, SO
that II is particularly well adapted fos
use rs floor covering in living rooms
and private dwellings. An important
advantage over all other processes on
manufacturing. mosaic floors is that II
is not affected by any change of tenn

THE SUlTAN'S HEIR.

Known Among the People.
The sultan's heir is not his eldest son,
by his eldest brother. The eldest male
succeeds. Such is the law of Islam, and
the fruitful source of dynasty murders
in almost every reign since the Turks
became a power, says the London Echo.
The sultan has four brothers; not one,
only, as was lately alleged. This eldest
brother is Rechad Effendi; that as TO
say, he is the eldest after ex-Sultan
Murad ", who, being insane, is not
counted. The third brother is Waredin,
and the fourth SULLIVAN. The sultan's
eldest son, Prince Selim, has no earthly
chance of succeeding his father. He
has too many uncles and uncles' sons
for that. But Prince Selim is lucky, II
he knows it, for he is not dangerous"
lie lives life of freedom, whereas the
heir is, by the custom of the Ottomans.
a kind of life prisoner.
Rechad Effendi is rarely seen. Every
time he drives out he is escorted by q
troop, less by way of an escort than as
q guard. The few who do know him
like him, for he is said to be courteous,
humane, well-informed man, acquainted
with current politics and keenly inter
ested in them. He is a good farmer
The pretty palace known as the Tcher-
agan is his residence. OF course,
Rechad's visitors are searched before
they are admitted, and when they are
leaving. by the sultan's officials. Dur
ing this time of trouble in Armenia,
Constantinople and Crete, Rechad has
been mora narrowly watched than ever,
for the sultan and his clique know that
Rechad is popular. Unlike the sultan.
Rechad is one of the most handsome
men in Constantinople.
