NEW Y0RK'S REFUSE.
Mayor Low Would Utilize It for
Generation Of Light.
Idea Advanced by Him Has Been IN
Successful Operation in Eng
Iish Cities for IA Number of
Years.

Concerning the opposition to estab-
fishing covered dump at the foot
of jackson street. in New York.
Mayor Low wrote a day or two ago
To Alderman James j. Deylin stating
his regrets that the city could not
have the site and in conclusion said:
Il take advantage OF this opportu--
nifty to say that the method of dis
posing of the city's waste by carry
ing it away by boats is "A relic OF
barbarism. This waste ought, for the
most part, be burned, and the city
should never be satisfied until the,
heat SO generated is made a source
of income To the city. 1t is no easy.
problem to bring about this result in.
the city of New York. 1t probably
will take years fully to accomplish
it, but l am confident that in time it,
can be accomplished if public senti-
ment will support every effort made
in that direction"
Mayor Lows suggestion for utiliz-
ing the city's waste products is prob
ably based on his knowledge of what
is being done in England along this
line. 1t is not generally known here,
but there are over a dozen towns in
England where refuse is burned and
the heat so obtained used for elec-
tric lighting purposes.
At least one Of the towns uses
garbage exclusively 10 produce it's
electric light. The others use Or
binary fuel intermiXed with refuse.
The combination not only provides
cheap methods Of illumination, but
it rids the towns Of what would be
a not very easily solved problem.
Some of the towns are of good
size. st. Helens, for instance, with
a population of $4,000, operates a
refuse destructor with a capacity
equivalent to $4,000 1G-randle-pOwer
lamps. Accrington, which is town
of $4,000 inhabitants, is lighted DYi

1880 lamps. Warrington, pOpula-
tion. $4,000, uses its refuse in supply
ing light to 10000 lamps. Ashton
Under-Lyne, with $4,000 population.
utilizes its garbage in lighting 3d.
900 lamps.
Some of the other towns are not
so large, but the same method OF
economy is carried out. Among these
are Nelson, 10000 lamps; Darwen.
9 800 lamps; Llanduano, 1900 lamps;
Mexbrough, $500 lamps; Rhyl, 10000
lamps; Shipley, 1,4O0 lamps; Wrex-
ham. $500 lamps; Beckenham, TO-
900 lamps, and South London, $4,000
lamps. These figures are stated On
the basis Of eight candle-pOwer to a
lamp. which is the method used by
the English engineers in making a
report on this subject. In some places
the candle-pOwer Of individual lamps
is more than eight, as in America
where il is usually 10 candle-pOweT.
but the equivalent of power is the
same.
The method of refuse consunp-
ton is the same in all eases. The
garbage is dried in d heater at
tached to the very plant in which il
is afterward consumed. When il
has been sufficiently dried it il
thrown into the furnace and con-
sumed like any other fuel Generally
the contract for electric lighting ami
for garbage consumption is taken by
private firm, or an electric lighting
company, in return for IT'S franchise.

Why japanese Women Look Pleasant.
Perhaps the secret of the sweet ex-
preston and habitual serenity of the
japanese women can be found in their
freedom from small worries. The
fashion CT dress never varying saves
the wear of mind on that subject. and
the baroness of the houses and SIM
plicity of diet makes housekeeping a
mere bagatelle. Everything is exquis-
itely clean. and easily kept so. There
is no paint, no drapery. no crowd Of
little ornaments, no coming into the
houses with the footwear worn in a
dusty street. And then the feeling of
living in rooms that can be turned

During the middle ages the wear
ing of the spur was regarded as a
sign of freedom. The vassal to whose
heel it was fastened swore fidelity to
his suzerain. The wearing of spurs
soon spread to such an extent that
even the clergy followed the fashion
set by the knights. But this custom
did not long endure: at a council of
mobiles and bishops held in SIG the
clergy were forbidden to wear spurs.
The spurs Of knights were Of gold,
