The smoke problem seems to
have been solved for factories in
a very satisfactory way by an
Austrian engineer. Herr Fritz
Maier The solution depends up
on closed furnace doors and slow
feeding without admission Of air
from above, and il is effected by
means of an automatic Stokcr,
which drops the fuel in small
quantities on the front end of the
fire, and another automatic ar
raugement that gradually >hovcls
the fuel along the fire. The APP
paratuS is cooled 10y water, which
as it becomes heated is used To

Bank Taxation License.

The Supreme Court Of Louisiana
held, in the recent case of The State
of Louisiana VS. The Citizens Bank,
that while license is tax, it is a
tax on callings and occupations and
not tax on property. and that
license taxation is governed by rules
entirely different from those which
control property taxstion that decis-
ions holding certain corporation
exempt from taxation upon its capital
are not res judicsta on an issue as to
whether it be liable to license tax ;
that provision in the charter of a
bank exempting it's capital" from
taxation does not cover an
exemption from license taxa
ton that the grant of charter to
a corporation authorizing it to carry
on certain business during the term
OF its charter does not import per
mission to do 60 without contributing
to the support of the government in
ike manner with natural persons
pursuing the same business, and
that the only exemption from taxation
granted to the appellee bank being
an exemption from taxation upon it's
capital, there was TO impairment Of
that right in requiring it to pay
license.

EFFECT OF DRINK ON
HEALTH.

Middletown, Conn, Jroc 9 The
first official announcement OF she results
Of Prof. A,waters' experiments 90 the
value CT alcohol as a food was made
today 10 circular issued by the Md
ele,owa Scientific association.
Prof. Aswater, Of Wesleyan College,
is the United States expert on alcohol,
and bis elaborate experiments were
made with the greatest scientific aecu-
racy.
They prove that two oances CT
alcohol taken in twenty four hours have
no bad effect on man. More than
two ouoces acts as poison.
These particular experiments we're
conducted under the auspices of CON :
miitee of fifty for the Investigation Of
the drink problem, of which ommlttee
the chairman is Seth Low. president of
Columbia University and delegate to
the Peace Congress at The Hague.
They establish the fact sha. two ounces
-four tablespoonfuls) of alcohol 10
twenty four hours, and no more, supply
the human body with fuel to produce
heat and muscular power-,hat 10. act
as food, not as al iatoxicant.
Prof. Atwater experimental with
persons who have drank moderately.
and With those who "nerer tasted a
drop" The results we're the same.
ALL doses below two ounces in twenty.
four hours produced no bad effect; at
the end Of the day there was no trace
OF alcohol 90 the breath. the body vas
10 the normal condition, and the
alcohol vas completely oxidlzed, having
been turoed into heat.
As soon as Prof Atwater learned
that more than two ounces we're
harmful, he went no further 10 that
direction. He had no desire to learn
how much man can drink, bus how
much he can drink without hurting
him.
Prof, Atwater will tell Of his expert
meo.s more fully 10 lecture before the
Middletosn Scientific Association. 10

Railroad Building in South
Carolina.

According to the Baltimore Manu-
facturers' Record the State of South
Carolina is at present one of the
principal centers of railroad con.
struction in the United States
Three large railway companies are
now surveying new liues within its
borders, these being the Southern
Railway Company, the Louisville &
Nashville aud the Seaboard All Line.
The Southern desires a connection
between Columbia, the capital of the
State, and Savannah. Ga, while the
Seaboard Air Line Is promoting a
branch from Cheraw, on its main
system, near the North Carolina
boundary, to Columbia, where it will
connect with the Florida Central Il
Peninsular. giving it new line to
Florida. The Louisville q Nashville
is making surveys between Augusta,
Ga, and Charleston with view, it is
stated, of having tracks of its own
into the latter city. 1t is calculated
that fully $50 miles Of railroad will
be built by the three companies men
toned if their plans are carried out.
