A number of furnace appliances have
already been designed to make use of
the culm, or waste, always to be seen
near large coal breakers, which has
hitherto been considered as so much
rubbish. In our illustration is shown
one of the newest of these devices,
which has just been patented, 1t has
the advantage of feeding the fuel into
the combustion chamber without the
employment of forced draught, as is
usual with this class of feeder. At the
top o. the mechanism is seen the hop
per, in which the culm is placed, while
at the bottom of the hopper is e ro-
tary brush, which serves to powder the
culm and deliver it to the feeding
brush underneath. The opening be-
tween the brush chambers is a long
narrow slot, which may be varied in
width to regulate the quantity dis
charged. The lower chamber has an
opening into the combustion chamber
and 1t is easy to see that the rotation
or the brush will feed the culm in a
spray. AS the brushes are rotated nv

USES OF ALUMINIUM.

Nicola Tesla Believes 1t VIII Supersede
All Other Metals.
In q contribution to the Century
Magazine, Nicola Tesla writes inter
estingly on the present and future uses
Of aluminium. Tesla is something of a
brilliant theorist in his line,. much as
the Frenchman Flammarion is in the
line OF astronomy. Yet Tesla has ac-
complished some wonderful things,
and his opinions are deserving of at
tention when he speaks on subjects
connected with electricity. Tesla be-
lieves that just as we have had an
age of stone, an age of brass, an age
of iron and an age of steel-not to
speak of a golden age-the coming
century will usher in an age of alumni
mum. When we consider that it is
only seventy years since this wonder
full metal was first discovered and that
the aluminium industry is scarcely for
ty years old, it must certainly be adj
nitted that wonderful progress has al
ready been made. One conclusion ar
rived at by Tesla which will be well
coined by electric companies, and will
be quite otherwise regarded by those
interested in copper mining, is that
the advance of the aluminium industry
will result in the humiliation of the
copper industry-that they cannot ex-
list and prosper together. Even now 1t
is cheaper to convey an electric cur
rent through aluminium wires than
through copper wires. Aluminium cast
ings cost less, and in many domestic
and other uses copper has no chance
to successfully compete. A further
material reduction of the price of
aluminium cannot but be fatal to cop
per. Tesla believes that the big cop

advantages to recommend 1t. 1t has
been patented by one Theodore H. Nc
Cain OF Washington, and Is light
enough to be carried on the shoulder
or the man who operates it. AS will
be seen, the connection between the
stump and a sond tree or more firmly
set stump is made by means of ropes
and pulleys, with chain connecting
one pulley to the winding drum. This
winding drum has external teeth
over which the links of the chain at to

hrmer hold than II the ropes were
wound directly around the drum. A
long lever Is used to rotate the drum
and rachel device locks the drum
against backward revolution while q
new hold is being taken with the lev
er. BY working the lever back and
forth the chain is gradually drawn
through the drums until the stump
roots give way.

Ynd,sp Snake Jugglers.

Capt. r. H. Ellitt, who has been for
some time conducting researches into
the nature and action of snake venom
in India. has arrived at the following
conclusions: First. the snake men of
south India are certainly ignorant Of
any method of producing in them
selves a highly developed condition of
immunity; second. some few OF them
appear to practice the swallowing of
venom or the Injunction Of venom into
their limbs. but it is doubtful II they
thus obtain some degree of immuniza-
ton; third. they con1ne themselves
almost exclusively to the cobra and
escape harm by their intimate knowl-
edge of the methods of handling this
snake.

But no amount OF money would have
been too much to pay for the privilege

Powdered coal is the fuel of the fu-
ture. according to the officials of the
Illinois Central railroad, who have
been experimenting for the last month
with device for making use OF coal

equipped with the new invention. and
tests OF efficiency and economy In the
use OF coal will be continued for the
next thirty days. At the end OF that
time the railroad men claim they viii
have demonstrated that coal when
ground fine enough is the best and
cheapest fuel available, as well as be-
Ing absolutely smol1eless.
The subject OF coal-dust firing has
occupied the attention of engineers all
over the world for years. but the idea
has only recently been put into prac-
teal shape. For coal-dust firing the
coal must be ground to a powder as
fine as wheat flour.
The appliances now In use at the
railroad power house are simple. A

box receives the dust. which is put up
in bags-seventy pounds to the bag.
From this hopper the powdered coal is

lat the same time currents OF air are
admitted at one side and the top of the
brush. Revolving several hundred
times minute, this brush throws the
particles OF coal into the firebox, where
they are instantly In a state OF COM
bustion. Dampers for the further adj
mission of air are placed below the
brush
These appliances were placed on ex-
tina boilers, the only change necessary
being the construction of front fac
Ing OF brick about two feet deep.
Tests were made yesterday after
noon. when the other four boilers in
the power house. which are hand-fired,
were shut off and the two boilers hav-
ing the new devices were used to oper-
ate the entire plant. Bags OF dust
were poured into tho hopper as re-

and the officials declared that. so far
as they could see, 1t was doing the
work as well as the better grades for
merly used. The coal Is dumped into
"a circular pit. where six hammers,
each striking 100 blows minute,
pound the mass until 1t is fine enough
TO drop through meshes at the bottom
of the pit.
II was claimed that the adoption of
this arrangement by the city would
give an easy solution OF the garbage
problem, as the intense heat would in
stantly consume the rubbish. Expert
ments are being pushed to demonstrate
whether the system is suitable for use
on the roads locomotives Tests will
be made of the apparatus in several OF
the large smelling works within the
next month.

When the Episcopal house of bishops
met here several weeks ago Bishop
Potter entertained them at a lunchSon
at the Players Club. Undoubtedly the
bishops admired the appointments and
did full justice to the luncheon with
out suspecting that there was any
thing ineongruous in their surround
ings. The Players Club, however, has
some actors on it's membership list,
though the more frisky Lambs Club
finds greater favor with them. Since
the bishops honored the Players it's

conducted parties to visit the Players

has never entertained one bishop, to
say nothing of q whole house OF
bishops, the Players feels that it may
plume itself on the event.

Sir W. H. Preece says that one great
advantage of electric over steam trac.
tion on railroads is that it impresses
continuous and uniform torque, or
turning. on the shaft, while the action
of the steam locomotive is intermit-
tent. The consequence is that wheels
driven by an electric motor get con-
tinuous bite" on the rails. as steam
driven rails do not. BY means of this
constant grip, slipping on greasy rails
is avoided. 1t is also possible. with
electric traction. to apply the maxi
mum torque at once, and thus to bring
railroad train up to its greatest
speed much more quickly than is pos
sible with steam traction. This adj
vantage is especially valuable on city
lines, where stoppages are frequent
and distances between stations short.

Felix Gabriel Marchand, prime min
lister of the province of Quebec. died
last week In Montreal. For six years
he held the Office of premier and for a
long time he was the leader of the OPP
position in the Quebec parliament. Mr.
Marchand was born at st. Johns In
1882 and was educated at st. Hyacinthe
college. He was distinguished not
only for his abilities as statesman,
but for his rare gifts as poet. His
poetical works were written in French
and have a wide circle of readers in
this country and also in Paris, where
they are greatly admired and praised

by men of letters. Although a liberal
and a friend of Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
Mr.. Marchand was thorough believer
in British institutions and proved his
loyalty by leading a regiment of the
militia against the Fenian raiders in
1870. He made his debut in politics
In 1867, when he was first elected to
the legislative assembly. From that
time until ten years ago he was re-
turned at each general election with
out opposition. In 1890 he had an op-
ponent, but he was elected by an over
whelming majority. He was reelected
in 1892. Mr.. Marchand was deeply in
terested in educational progress, a
characteristic made manifest by the
little violet button he ever wore upon
the lapel of his coat. This was the gift
of France and entitled him to be cared

Readers who are not familiar with
recent work In physical chemistry,
says Science. may be interested to
learn that many solid substances are
now known to have two or more forms
or phases. For instance, 1t has very
recently been ascertained that metallic
tin may exist, either as a gray crys-
talline powder or in the we'll known
form under which it possesses both
lustre and duculity. At particular
temperature both forms may co-exist;
above that temperature only the or

and premises has been invented BY
Chicagoans. 1t is called the refust
burner and is constructed and operat

the moderate cost, aceentuate its use
fulness.
There are two sizes Of the boxes, OF
cans. One is adapted to fiat buildingS
where it is set up in the cellar or base
ment, as shown in the cut. The other
is smaller and is made to take the
place of the garbage can and may sill
anywhere about the premises, where
not inconvenient, to receive deposits
of combustible refuse. When the boxes
are filled with paper and the like, the
contents are ignited from underneath
and burned with quickness and with
out smoke. Flues on the interior and
running lengthwise of the box or
burner admit the air from the bottom
and this air creates blaze so intense
that the refuse and smoke are entirely
consumed.
The inventors have tested the device
before large number of persons in
Chicago with successful results. Thess
tests show that the burner will destroy
three-fourths of all garbage that 40
cumulates about a house or building
and at nominal cost. It answers the
