require one yard. Our custom

ENGLAND TO HAVE WARM CARS
Small Storage to be Placed in Railway
Coaches.

Americans who are so accustomed
to riding in railway coaches which are
heated to uncomfortable degrees with
steam from the engine, and to whom
the incandescent light in the coach
IS an old story, will smile at this eff.
fort at railway heating told with unc-
ton in the London Mail:
The old-fashioned railway carriage
~footwarmer is doomed.
A year hence people will no longer
tap their feet on the fiat iron a in
a vain attempt to secure comforting
heat.
For an inventor has patented an in
g%enious scheme for heating railway
carriages by electricity. Already
many coaches have dynamos attached
to the axle for generating electricity
for lighting purposes.
When these dynamos are not required
for the production of electric light the
current viii be accumulated in stor-
age batteries on the train. This new
contrivance for utilizing this electric
ity to heat water has been devised by
Mr.. A. r. Leask of London.
His device consists of a number of
porcelain rings, around which a thin
platinoid wire is wrapped. The cur
rent passes by an ordinary light at
taChment to this c~ontriyanCe after il
is submerged in water, and the heat
thrown out suftices to boil water in a
few minutes.
Hot-water tanks will be attached to
each carriage, from which the heat
will be diffused by means of copper
pipes.
Messrs. Stone & Co. Of Deptford.
who provide the dynamos for the rail
way carriages. are making expert
ments with this new heater, and Mr.
T. X. Bells, vino is bringing oui the
patent, told a Daily Mail representa-.
tive yesterday that he expected il
would soon be in general use.
But the heater viii be employed in
many other ways by doctors and den.
fists. by hotels, steamship companies
and hospitals. while the man who
shayes in a hurry will use it.
For It Is affixed in a simple manner
by removing the electric globe and
attaching in the same way. The price
will be los, Cd. and it is estimated
that it will cost o~ue-eightieth Of a
penny in current t boil a pint OF
water.

SOUPS IN 4 sLUMs.
Free Meals for London's $1,000 Hun.
DRY Children.

The gigantic work begins tomorrow
of free MEAL distribution to London's
little summers, who would otherwise
through a long, dreary winter, be com
peiied oftentimes to 90 hungry &c

In a few days the SAVIOR of soup will
begin to permeate the London slums,

full. From Greenwich to the Borough
from Whitechapel to Bethnal Green
and Hackney Wick. there will for
some months to come be no aching
voids at dinnertime, and no WEAKNESS
for the perplexed school teacher.
The good work is carried on by sew.
eral independent bodies. but notably
at the London Schools Dinner associ.
alton, the Destitute Children's Dinner
society, the Referee Fund, and the
Board School Children's Free Dinner
Fund.
The Farm House Center at South.
wark affords a good instance Of the
working of the system. The Tuesday
after lord mayors day is the date
fixed for the commencement Of the
winter season. This means that a
cook will, from tomorrow onward, rise
on three or four days of the week at
3 O'Clock in the morning to stir por-
ridge. which is served later on to the
happy youngsters with milk. Condi.
tionally upon the porridge being eaten
a slice of bread and jam follows.
At midday hundreds of hungry
children again troop to the center, and
are provided on the nomination of
their school teacher with a plain,
wholesome meal, varying from soup
or stew to a meat pudding. The cost
is from a penny to 3-halfpence per
head. In Southwark alone last year
no fewer than 23,130 breakfasts and
SO 1861 dinners were so distributed.
In other districts the work of dis
tribution is carried on with equal
vigor and success. st. Johns, West
minister, supplies half-pepny dinners
to children of 'out-of-works;" while
at st. Michael's, in the Tower Hamlets
division, there are also half-penny din
ners, the bill OF fare comprising a ba-
sin of nourishing soup and a thick
slice of bread and jam.
Before Christmas is here thousands
Of pounds will have been collected by
the different agencies intrusted with
the work, and by this means London's
5luni children will be saved from the
pangs of hunger.
Meanwhile the school board is i'm
potent to help. All that it can do in
is official capacity is to receive and
iiscuss the reports from its newly
elected local committees that sit for
the first time this year.-London Mail,
