Electrolytic hydrogen is a regular
product of German accumulator
factory. The apparatus, devised by
Herr Schoop, consists ola lead cyl
inder anode containing the dilute So
luton, and catholics of four perfors-
ted lead tubes in the middle. The
hydrogen escapes through glass tub, 8
in theupper part Of the cathode tubes.
The gas is pure and -odorless. The
cost Of the hydrogen and oxygen is
stated to be less than half that Of the
gases by chemical methods.

A lightweight alloy that seems to
be in favor in France for cars, auto
mobiles and other products, is parti-
mum, a mixture of aluminium and
tungsten in varying proportions.
Cast partinium has a specific gravity
of about 2.89, which is increased to
81 by rolling. While much cheaper
than aluminium, the alloy is claimed
to be much stronger, and it is but
little heavier. In works at Pu-
teaux it has been used for very speedy
motor-cars, the bodies being entirely
constructed of the alloy, and for var
ious purposes on steam vehicles.

application of the parafin, and when
the latter has solidified, the super

Gases by EIectrolysis.
i The great ocean ferry gives strik-
ing illustration of mechanical pro-
gress in sixty years. Speed, says Sir
William White. has been increased
from 81 to 225 knons; the time on the
voyage has been reduced to about 81
per cent. of that in 1910. Ships have
been more than trebled in length,
about doubled in breadth and in
creased tenfold in displacement. The
passenger list has been increased
| from about 100 to 1900 on q single
steamship; The engine power has
been made 40 times greater. The
ratio of horsepower to weight driven
has increased fourfold; the rate OF
coal consumption per horse power
hour has been reduced to one-third.
To drive 1000 tons across the Allan
tic at 81 knots, about $50 tons OF coal
we're burned in 1910; now, to drive
10000 tons across at % knots, about
5000 tons are burned. Each ton of
propelling apparatus, with steam
pressure of only II pounds, then gave
only 2 horse power for continuous
working; each ton now produces from
6 to horse power.
The curious fact has been noted
that the nitrifying bacterium, which
renders such ser 5ice in purifying
sewage and other matter, is the great
est destroyer of the works of the
water engineers. The gradual crum-
bling and turning to mud of cement
mortar, an effect formerly attributed
to the carbonic acid and other miner
al substances of the water, proves to
be the nitrifying organism, and is a
difficulty not yet easy to overcome.
In this case we have helpful bacteria
that also do great harm

in Brussels have developed the sin

are inclined to see this an effect of
current leakage from the electric rail

RaiIroad improvements.

The subcommittee of the Committee
on Streets. to which the petitions of the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Richmond,
Petersburg and Carolina railroad COM
panies have been referred, will hardly
take the matter up for three weeks or a
month. In the mean time the negotia-
tons between the two roads looking to
building a union depot may be pursued.
There is no denying the fact that the
announcement OF the determination OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway TO com
mence operations at once has spread
abroad more hopeful feeling through
out the city. Mr.. Ware b. Gay, who has
lust returned 10 the city, after an abb
sence of four months, says the city has
been almost transformed during his alb
sencc. Richmond is to-day fairly throb-

lead TO a general revival, since confidence
breeds prosperity.

he was through, called TO the stand again
Mrs Price, the aged wife Of Thomas

the objection. and an exception was noted.

question is now before the Committee on

Superintendent Thompson says that the
only way the city could build conduits
would be by doing the work piecemeal
out Of an annual appropriation, and in
this way the construction would take from
three to five years. and would cost for

HIS END COMES SUDDENL'
yroept far Pain Incident 10 Fracture

18th, He Hnd Been in Excellent
Health md Spirits.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., March 1.--Baron
Farrer Herschell. one OF the commission
ers from Great Britain on the High Cana
dian-Amer5can Commission. died quite
suddenly at 7;05 this morning at the Shore
HON Hotel, where he had been confined
10 his bed for several weeks with Il
broken bone. caused by fall on a slip
perry sidewalk.
Lord Hcrschen's death came without
warning. Except for the pain incident 70
the fracture Of his leg, which occurred
on February 18th, he had been in excel
lent health and spirits. and up to almost
the hour of his death there was no pre-
monitory symptom Of the coming end. He
had received visitors every day. and had
enjoyed seeing his friends and talking
with them.
THE FATAL ATTACK.
At the time of tho accident trained
nurse was procured from Baltimore, and
on account of the dead mans helplessness
had been with him almost constantly, os-
pecially at night. when she never left his
room At about O'Clock this morning his
LOrdship awakened and called to the
nurse. who found him breathing heavily.
After receiving some attentions he said
he felt better, and again went TO sleep.
A little after O'Clock he again called
the nurse. and said he felt al, and COM
planned of great pain In his chest below
the heart. Dr. w. W. Johnston was hasti-
ly summoned and after a hurried eXami-
nation dispatched a messenger for DR..
Maddox. who joined him in few minutes.
The pain. however, did not yield TO treat
ment, and at five minutes after z o'clock
his Lordship breathed his last.
SYMPTOMS OF HEART DISEASE.
In answer to inquiries, the physicians
said they were unable 10 give the exact
cause of death, but the symptoms they
thought. indicated that 1t was angina
pectoris.
His Lordship's family. who. with the
exception OF his son, Richard at On
ford, are in the south of France, have
been cabled the sad news. 1t is assumed
that tho body will be sent to England
as soon as possible, but no definite ar
rdngements have yet been made.
CAUSE. ANGINA PECTORIS.
II was stated tonight that an exami-
nation developed that the immediate
cause Of death was angina pectoris.
The Secretary Of State cabled Mr..
Choate our Ambassador at London, as
follows:
