KING OSCAR AspIcATEs.
Crown Prince Gu-tar Will Endeavor to
Oueil the Rebelilous Norwegians.

Stockholm, Jan. 23.-King Oscar,
who reached his SEVENTEEN year last
Saturday, has Professionally placed the
reins of government in the hands of his
eldest son, the Crown Prince Gustaf.
While it is generally reported that alb
dication OF the king is only temporary,
those nearest at court declare that he
will never again return to the throne.
The step was taken by orders of the
court physicians.
King Oscars condition has been made
worse by the rebellous spirit which his
Norwegian subjects have exhibited of
late.
Most bitter to the king was the ac-
ton OF the Norwegian Storthing in
adopting II Norwegian flag without the
union emblem.
Crown Prince Gustaf, who has as.
sumed the government. is in many re
spects the very antithesis Of his illus
trious father. He is a man with an
iron will. and it is believed fhat what
on account of innate goodness KIM
Oscar could not accomplish, namely tle
quelling of the sedtious spirit in Nor
way, Prince Gustaf will accomplish by
force, If necessary.

romical machine. The full advantage
of reheating air before use is not well
understood by most users. The re
heater is a very small affair, requires
but little attention and less coal. The
heat derived from this coal is. accord
ing to the experiments of Riedler and
Gutermuth, used five or six times a.
efficiently as in Il good steam engine.
That is for each horse power gained
by the air motor the coal used per houi'
would be from three-tenths to five
tenths of a pound, instead of from two
to three or more pounds. In addition.
with reheated air the troubles due 10
freezing up disappear. In many cases.
especially with small pumps. reheatin..
would not pay.
A correct design of pump and the 10
cation of reheater near the pump and
of the reducing valve, when necessary
at sufficient distance from the pump.
so that the air cooled by passin,
through this valve may again attain
the temperature of the mine would
largely reduce the power cost of pump.
ing by compressed air
a unique pump using compressed air
is the Pohle air lift. 1t is simplicity
itself. The. pump has neither valves.
pistons nor moving parts of any kind.
The air is admitted ut the bottom of
the well casing through a small pipe,
and in rising carries the water along
with it. Although not very efficient,
the horse power of the water raised
being only about one-third that of the
compressor furnishing the air, these
pumps are widely used in raising
water from deep wells.
When hoistS are run underground by
compressed air, if economy of operation
is desired, the same precautions should
be used as in pumping. In any case, a
reheater should be plac ced between the
hoist and the air main, us near the
hoist as practicable.
When hoists or motors of any kind
are run above ground there is almos.
no excuse for not relocating the air and
using it eXpansively. This. of course
does not apply to very small hoists o.!
motors.
There are very wide limits to the
range of economy, from the poorly de
signed. badly kept plant running com
mon direct-acting mine pumps. where
for every horsepower delivered by the
pump from seven to ten horse power. is
given to the compressor. to the latest
compound condensing two-stage com
piessois, iuihishiiiS dH thlouSH HiSt-
class reheaters to high-class air en-
gines. where for each horse power de
livered by the air engine not over two
and one-half to three horse power
would have to be given to the air com
pressor. The much more economical
use of coal in the second compressor
would make far greater difference
in the amount of coal burned and
would enable. the boiler capacity to be
reduced to one-siXth that of the first
case. provided both We're to deliver the
same power. That is, if one boiler
would furnish steam for the modern
plant. it would take six of the same
capacity to furnish it for the poor
plant.

Unique Proposition Which Would Mater

Toronto, Ont. Jan. 24.-A remark.

Canadian government is called TO it
The scheme involves a ferry service
to Newfoundland. Pullman ear ser
vice across the Mg island colony to n
point within 1,500 miles of Ireland, and
4 steamship "trip across the Atlantic OF
less than three days.
BY this route, it is asserted. passen.
gers from Chicago and New York for
Europe could be carried in Pullman
cars, without change, to within 1,50C
miles of Great Britain.
The route has been favorably passed
upon by railway and steamship author
tiles. The distance between Green
Bay, Newfoundland. and the west coast
Of Ireland could be covered in two and
half days. On arriving mt Green
Bay the passengers would be trans.
ferred to Pullman cars and whirled. n;
forty miles an hour, to Montreal, New
York or Chicago. The Newfoundland
route would place Chicago within six
days of Liverpool and Toronto twelve
hours less.
