The young man at the table started

THE KIPLING REACTION
fianV Of His Well WiShers Appear

As the critics continue their dis section of Kipling the onlooker begins to wonder whether popular apprecia- tiOn will change with them. Have en- thusiaStic readers been w5kened sud denly 10 the perception that they have been befogged by clouds of literary in censo? We have already heard sun dry warnings that we were worshiping 3 false god, and we referred recently to an acute Japanese critic who denied that Kipling can speak for the east and it's mysterious Fife.
 But now the question is fundamen- tai; fl is doubtful, we are told, whether he IS a genuine poet and story writer a, all, in the sense of 9 product writer is diss0ciabie from temporary cOndi- tiOns and having what Matthew Ar mold called the requisite wh0leuess Of good tissue" It is contended that he is rather rare product of journal ism, with the temporary point of view, the superficial skerchiness of the day the glance which does not penetrate to the heart of things.

al of piston or valves for cleaning. Of course, these eases were somewhat exceptional The amount of dust evolved with furnace gas vansd 2c- cording 10 the kind of coal used and other factors in the case. Some estab- lishments had much more dust than those in Differdingen and Seraing.
 The difficulty which had seemed most formidable at first, Prof Meyer said. was an imaginary one Fears had been entertained that it would be hard to ignite blast furnace gas in an engine. because there was trouble when it was burned under a steam boiler But when it was compressed, as was customary, in the cylinder of a gas engine just before the explosion. IL would ignite readily. Indeed. it was found to be an advantage that the of blast furnace gas might be carried further than with ordinary producer gas without danger of pre- mature explosion.
 This matter is likely to receive the of American furnace own CTS in the near future. They cannot fail to recognize whatever is valuable in the system.-New York Tribune.

SHOULD SAY WHAT THEY MEAN.

SecTetrya Gnge is quoted as follows: The republican party should in my opinion make the fight next year upon bold, straightforward. unequivocal declaration for the single gold stand ard" Such a declarati ton would at lease be refreshing to the old fashion ed believers m common honesty in politics. In the last campaign about half the free silver political capital was derived from dis,ngeniOus declar- at.ons that had been framed by men who really believed in and wished for @ single gold standard For some years it was the fashion to declare in favor of international agreement to restore silver to it's old place in the coinage. and even in the last campaign there was a poor lot of talk about making an effort to secure such a1 agreement, although the men who did tha5 talking knew perfectly well that there was no prospect of getting united action by the nations of Europe. This shuff1ing with the issue may have been regarded as good politics in the past, but the time has gone by for that sort of tEing.-Chicago News.

USING A WASTE PRODUCT
The Saving Effected in inc iron
 industry.

One of the most important indus trial economics that have been pro posed within the last few years is the use Of the escaFing gases Of a blast furnace for power. When iron is be- ing purified, it is heated with coal or coke in a huge furnace. Part of the constituents of the fuel combine with the oxygen of the ore, and thus "rc- duce" the oxide. But it appears that among the products which escape from Jha chimney is a good deal of cOmbus- tible gas. Indeed, this gas is a poor quality of the same article which is manufactured expressly for power and fuel, and which is known as 'produc- CT" gas. Now, a good many estab- Ishments for making rig iron have a use for machinery also, and t has been customary to drive that m3chin- cry by seam. However, if a gas which will do the work can be had for nothing, it would be cheaper to em- ploy gas engines.
 One of the first and largest factories to try this experiment on e large scale was tEe CockeriIl works in Seraing. Belgium
 The subject was up for discussion at recent meeting of 'the Iron and Stesl
 
 ILque Dsder, laid much stress on the dust which accompanies blast furnace gases and suggested various ways for overcoming the difficulty His favor lie scheme was to scart a coke plant near the works, use the blast furnace g2s for fuel in the coke ovens and then use the coke in the iron furnaces. Other engineers who were present thought that MT. Disd.eT overestimated the trouble and proposed too cumber- euS remedy. A repTesen entative of the Cockerill works happe15d to be pres ent and he said that in Seraing Ii;tIe fault was found with the dust. IL was an easy matter to get rid of it. He furnished no details, but merely man- tiOned the fact
 Almost simultaneously, however, there was a meeting Of iron nrlnufac- turers in Germany, and this same sub Ject was before them. Prof. F. Meyer of Gobingen, declared that some estab- ishments which used blast furnace gas for power resorted to apparatus commonly employed in producer gas works, namely, coke scrubbers' and cleaning boxes filled with coke 'braeZe." Other manufac, urers added to these devices water spraying at- tachment. But he knew of a sixty horse power gas motor at Differdin- gen which had been run for q long time without any publication of the gas at all. And he asserted that 180 horse power gas engine at the Cock grill works has been kept going for over sig months without any means 'fnr nmrIIZing. the gas or the withdraw
