LIQUID FUEL IN RUSSIA.

An Important Factor for Firing Loco
motives for Railways.
The Russian petroleum industry has
been placed In an exceptionally favor
able position during the past year and
o half by the introduction Of a large
amount OF foreign capital, says the
New York Commercial, and the i'm
provement is due to the companies
having devoted themselves mainly to
the production Of liquid fuel rather
than to that of illuminating oil. The
output of liquid fuel, or masut. and OF
petroleum ~by-products has now be-
come the mainstay of the industry, and
In Russia alone the annual quantity of
masut consumed amounts to NJ less
than 500, 600, 900 pools, which, with the
extension of the railways,is expected to
further increase to a large extent. But
Il is not only In the firing OF locomo-
tive boilers that liquid fuel Is playing
IN important part, but also in connec-
ton with the raising of steam in ma
rine boilers. As a preliminary all the
war vessels belonging to the Baltic
feet are now fired with liquid fuel. and
It is believed the whole OF the Russian
imperial navy will eventually be con-
verted to the system. according to a

the supply of oil-carrying vessels has
been extremely inadequate. To the
United Kingdom alone the importation
Of oil from America and Russia has
made enormous strides. In regard tc

tainS an account of the fatal accident
by which DR.. Edward North lost his

DIR. Edward North, the best known
physician and surgeon in Atlantic
county, was instantly killed, Saturday
evening, at the Nivison crossing one
mile above the Hammonton station.
He was driving acoss the tracks from
north to south on his way to see a
patient at Rosedale when he was
struck by the engine of the o'clock
express on the Pennsylvania road. He
had left home but a short time before
having been out sleighing with his
wife. The train was late owing to the
storm, the doctor was muff1ed up, the
sleigh bells were ringing, and he prob
ably did not hear the engine until it
was too late. DIR. North was the oldest
of the seven children of the late DIR.
Joseph Fl. North. He was in the 5Sth
year of his age. He buried his first
wife three years ago. His second wife
