The Economy OF Electricity in Mining.

In the first place its great convent
ence must be noted. An electric lamp
can be placed and used where no other
lamp can. and practically any candle
power that may be required can be
had from 1t. An electric motor 10 do
certain work is much lighter and han
der than any other form of motor, and
the cables which feed il with energy
are lighter handler, more easily got
into position, and more easily main
tanned than the pipes required for
either steam or compressed air. The
electric signal and the electric tele-
phone will do what no other apparatus
will. al these are sources Of economy
in themselves, and the buster the
mine the greater the economies eff
fected. But apart from these con
siderations, the electric motor and the
electric system of transmitting power
is far more efficient than any other
system.-The Engineering Magazine.

How one Woman Earns "A Living.

\ young woman living in town In
which one OF the largest American uni
vcrsitlcs is situated has bit upon an
excellent method of earning her own
living. Her skill ia making Judges, "
those toOthsome chocolate sweets that
are said TO have originated at Vassar,
had often Dccn praised by her friends,
and it occurred to her one day that
what she did for pleasure might be
turned TO profit. She made n few
boxes Of the swcctmeats, and induced
nelghhoring druggist TO let them be
)n sale in his store The first boxes, and
lftcrward a second and larger lot
were quickly disposed of, and orders
for more were received, chiefly from
the collegians. Her next step was 10
get some plain white boxes, pack the
Judges In them aud tie the boxes with
a broad ribbon OF the college color
Having some little skill with the brush
she decorated each ribbon band with
the college name. and put this fudge
on the market.
An assistant helps IA the unskillcd
part OF the process. and she herself
woras every day, and often until late
i'm the night In an effort TO supply the
demand for her Donbors. She has cs.
tablished agencies throughout the town
and in neighboring city, and Is prob
ably building up a permanent and OK.
ccllcnt business.

Petroleum in Japan.

The petroleum industry has reached
a considerable development in Japan,
as may be remarked from the reports
recently published in the Japan Times
relating 10 the province of Echlgo. In
this district as many as thirty com.
panies now exist, some ot these repre-.
senting a capital of more than half a
millions while the total capital engaged
in the petroleum industry in this
region is estimated at more than six
millions. AS an indication OF the ac-
