Beneals d pear coal.

An observing engineer, travelling
through some Of the Swiss manufac-
turing centers noticed that, generally,
Swiss steam engines were Of a higher
economical type than those IN Eng
land. while Swiss electrical generators
and motors were distinctly inferior to
those Of English standard practice. By
a process Of deduction from local cir
cumstances he was able to attribute
these two circumstances to the high
cost Of fuel IN Switzerland on the one
hand. and the great plenty and con-
seQuent cheapness OF natural water
powers IN the country on the other
The highest results IN any branch
OF industry require an artifcial stimu-
lus. At no time within recent mem
ory has the trade In economical appli-
ances for the production Of steam
energy been as active as It Is now.
EconomlEation In manufacturing pro
cesses simply means the suppression
OF waste and IN that view the existing
exorbltant cost Of fuel is not without
Its compensations. 1t must also be re-
membered that the present high price
OF coal Is most likely transitory, but
that the economical Improvements to
which It may give rise must be per-
manent, for, however slow advance in
manufacturing practice may be, there
Is no stepping back.-London Express.

In the matter Of industry ants can
compare, and not unfavorably. with
bees Of the proverblal sort. Indeed.
there seems no end to their ability,
for in South American some OF these
curious little creatures were lately dis
covered to have burrowed a tunnel no
less than three miles long. In India
there is red species 50 small that a
dozen Of them have to band together
In order to carry a grain Of wheat.
In spite Of this. however. they win
take grains thousand yards to their
nests. Another interesting instance
Of an ants industry was the result Of
a recent experiment An ant was
placed IN a saucer with some larvae.
So anxious was the little creature 10
carry them to the nest that 1t worked
without pause from o'clock Ia the
morning until 10 a. night. and as the
result no fewer than $50 Of the larvae
were SO conveyed.

Woodpeckers feed upon worms that
bnrrow into trees. As an active borer
makes q gallery three or four feet
long In a single season. the wood
pecker Is often obliged to make many
punctures IN order to get at his prey.
A family OF these birds which came
under the eye OF Professor r. 7. Clark,
recently returned from a natural his
tory exploration OF the headwaters Of
the Allegash. In the Maine woods,
has adopted a labor saving device
which proved Of great service. The
rankest plant that grows In the Maine
woods Is the Indian poke. the berries
OF which are charged with an alkaline
Juice that Is very offensive to all ami
NAL life.
According to Professor Clark, the
Allegash woodpeckers. having opened
up a gallery made by borer. drop
pokeberries IN the orifice. The berries
give out such an odor that the grubs
are forced to come outside for fresh
air, and the woodpecker does the rest.

A Man who Claims He Can Make You
live $50 Years.
A gentleman IN Washington claims
to have discovered the elixir Of life
and offers to extend the existence Of
persons who obey certain simple rules
he viii furnish them TO $50 years or
more. His theory is that "the parti-
cles Of matter composing the human
body are continually undergoing
change and in the course Of seven
years you have an entirely new
body. If the atoms Of our bodies
could be continually supplied we
would live on this earth forever

man referred to. who Is a draughtsman
IN a patent lawyers Office, claims to
have discovered the secret Of supply

which any person can follow. He VIII

each person in a form so simple that
those Of the most ordinary intelligence
can comprehend the subject fully; but
having spent thirty-hve years in study
and thought he asks remuneration TO
the extent Of 500 for poor people and
$500 for rich people before be viii dis
close his elixir Of life.
The inventor Is a man Of sixty-hve
or more, but is a good advertisement
Of his theory because he possesses the
vigor Of youth. His flesh, his skin,
his eyes and every other feature testi-
~ to his perfect health. and he expects
to prolong his life until he has had
enough OF living. He relates many
curious incidents that have attended
the application Of his theory to his
friends and neighbors, and among
other things claim to have the power
10 change the color Of the hair simply
by mental process, without external
application OF treatment He does not
claim to have supernatural powers. but
declares that all Of his results are ac-
complished by the observance and aDs
plication Of the simple laws Of nature.

Those who have dismissed the idea
Of a four-days' passage across the At
lantIc as premature II not visionary
may have occasion to revise their opin-
ion. The argument against the project
Is its cost; the argument In favor Of II

The Deutschland's feat Of breaking
the speed record with ease and GER
tainty was promptly followed by
breaking the record in earnings. The
actual value OF her passenger fares on
recent westward trip Is given at
$4,000. and this earning capacity
shows us the other side OF the speed
question.

length. 81 feet beam, 10000 tons dis
placement. 10000 horse power and
with a speed OF 80 knots her daily
coal consumption win be ITO tons, her
bunker capacity $3.50 tons. She viii

These are amazing figures, but they
are not as amazing as the figures of
the Deutschland would have been
twenty years ago.--New York World.
