Liquid Fuel in Steamers.

In October the steamship
Cowrie steamed all the way
from Koetei in Borneo to
London, distance of 9,235
miles, using nothing but liquid
fuel, says the New York Sun.
when the steamer reached
London the boilers for supply
ing steam for unloading ma.
chinery were fired by the same
material. The oil wds not
burned by thin layer of in
candescent coal, as ii is in the
case of some systems, but was
reduced to 4 spray by means OF
steam jet at the furnace door,
where it was delivered from
tanks above the boilers.
The Cowrie was formerly
fired with coal, and her owners
say that the conversion to
liquid fuel has been attended
with advantageous results.
Only six stokers are now re-
quired. though sixteen were
necessary when coal was used.
A greau deal of bunker space
is also saved. The consumpt-
ion of oil at sea is only twenty
two tons a day, while the daily
consumption of coal used to be
thirty-tive tons, and ton of
oil occupies only thirty-four
cubic feet, against forty five
feet requsred for coal. The oil
is also taken on board much
more quickly than coal, and
recently 300 tons were pumped
into German, steamer in an
hour,
The oil yielded by the Borneo
oil fields is said to make an eX'
cellent fuel just as it comes
from the ground, and it Is
I beginning to be much used fol
this purpose by the Hamburg
American and other steamers
that are engaged in the eastern
trade.

Pryor Paragraphs.

The gospel of the grace of
God is the grandest message
poor fallen man ever heard.
The hand that is ever open
to supply the wants of the
needy will be the most beauti-
full hand in the judgment,
If we would get the best life
has for US there are some
sounds to which we must be
deaf, and some sights to which
we must be blind.
Read the ninety-first Psalm
carefully, and after you have
finished it ask Yourself if you
fully believe it. If not, why
not?
Faith is the substance of
things hoped for" Do you en-
Joy the substance of what you
hope for? If not, there IS
something wrong with your
faith.
The work of raising the fall
en- to a high plane of moral
and religious life is a noble
work, and those engaged IN
such a work should have the
encouragement and hearty sup
port of all good people.
All that you hear from the
pulpit is not preaching. In
deed there are some pulpits
from which gospel preaching is
rarely ever heard. The con-
gregations that wait on such a
ministry are fed on sensational
husks from week and they soon
starve to death, or tire of try
ing to subsist on chaff and go
else where in quest of spiritual
food and sustenance. Preach
the word. -Shelbina Democrat.

Prospective Legislation.

contained the views of the |
members elect Of the Forty
first general assembly regard.
ing what Legislation they deem
of most Importance for the con-
sideration of the next legisla-
ture. and the following is sum
mary of the legislators opinion
as made by that paper:
1.-The approaching session of
the general assembly is most
important from many view
points. The Fortieth general
assembly, while it enacted a
number of laws that rebound to
the credit and interest of the
state. had some shortcomings
that it were hardly wise to de.
fend. The democrats OF the
state look to the present legis.
lature to correct, so far as is in
it's power, some of the mistakes
of the last.
The letters from the legisla-
tors show one thing. and that is
that majority of the members
Of the Forty first general as,
sembly think that corporation
franchises are not bearing a
just proportion of the burdens
Of taxation. 1t is accordingly
plain from the communications
that Legislation along this line
may be expected from the body
that will assemble in January.
The elaborate road law pass
ed by the last legislature seems
from answers to the inquiries
which the State Tribune sent
out, to have been largely a
failure. A large number of
mem bers from the country dis.
triCts mention a new road law
or a liberal revision of the pres.
ent one as among the measures
they will advocate. a reduC-
ton in criminal costs, laws re-
lating TO taxation, foI the re-
duction of the legal rate of in.
terest, for the proper support
of state institutions, for the
regulation of railroad tritfic to
fix the charges of express com
panies and others of minor i'm,
portance, are among the meas
ures that will be introduced for
enactment into laws.
From tn e tone of many of the
letters it appears to be tacitly
understood that the World
Fair will receive the support
and encouragement of the legis
lature. Among other sugges
tions made is one TO the effec'
that as little legislation as pos,
sible should be enacted to the
end that no more useless laws
encumber.the statute books.
AS whole the 4opinion of thu
newly elected members SHOW
that the character of proposed
legislation this winter viii
for the most part be wholesom,
and beneficial and to the hes
interest of the state generally.

Koehler and wife were sent for, being
told that some of their relatives had ar

a complete one and the couple were 80
astonished that they were barely able
