Mont PeIee Heard In venezuela.

The United States consul at Mara
caibo, Venezuela, $50 miles from Mar
Unique, reports that the sounds OF the
explosions of Mont Pelee were heard
by himself and many others, . rev
olution was in progress in Venezuela
and the inhabitants of certain towns
thought the sounds due to artillery
which was not the case. The consul's
servant, without orders, brought
horse saddled and bridled, saying
that he was sure the consul would
wish to go to the city, where a big
battle must be going on, judging from
the cannonading. The consul de-
scribes the noise as not at all like
the reports of heavy guns. 1t was not
like thunder, nor the strange rum
bling of earthquakes, but as if inn
mense explosions were taking place
high in the air. There can be no
doubt, from the dates and times, that
these sounds were due to Mont Pelee.

Oil Burner for Stoves.

In these days of worry over lack Of
fuel, when people are wondering bow
they are to heat their buildings ana
cook their food, numerous schemes are
being proposed in solution OF the
problem. Among these substitutes for
coal one of the most prominent and
successful is petroleum, and it is q
special form of burner for this fuel
which is pictured below, the origina-
tor of the invention being Elm0re
Stewart of Los Angeles, Cal. The
claim is made that this burner can be
used in connection with cooking or
heating stove, hot-air furnace. steam
and water-heating system, steam boil
er or hotel range, giving strong. hot
flame without danger of explosion.
The burner is composed OF two sepAr-
ate parts. one resting in the nrebox

The Question of Fuel.

Every one is familiar with discus
lions about the rate at which the
worlds coal supply is being exhaust
I'd. Attention may be called to the
possibilities of wood systematically
cultivated for fuel Helmholtz snow
ed that in Germany the thermal value
of the vegetable growth on a given
area of land is about 1-1477th part OF
the heat delivered by the sun to the
same area. BY planting rapidly grow
ing timber in tropical countries the
German rate can be increased about
fifteen times so that about one per
cent of the thermal energy poured
upon the land by the sun may be
stored as wood fuel. Taking 4.OOO,-
600, 900 acres of land as available for
forest cultivation 1t follows that q
perpetual fuel product Of thirty times
our present coal supply might be
secured. And moreover, is 1t hope
less to expect that a way will be
found to store the energy daily re-
ceived from the sun and to do away
with fuel altogether?

1t is certain that no food material
can be used in the body without first
being converted into protoplasm, and
since alcohol, as a stimulating and
poisonous substance, destroys the pro-
toplasmic molecule, it cannot at the

consequently cannot act as food and

Behind Smiler were three vertical
blowing engines. which ran continu-
0usly all the year to make the blast.
They were gigantic. old-fashioned
walking-beam engines. with the steam
cylinder at one end of the beam. and
the air-cylinder on the other, each

keep the air pressure or blast steadily
ON the furnaces was the most impor-

Smiler then seized . lamp and .

the c0mpressor-room. where the three
air-cylinders stood In q row, fifteen
feet apart. He ran up the stairway to
the upper floor. There he looked down
1t the cylinder attached to the mo-
tionless engine.
1t was as he had supposed. The
yoke holding the manhole plate and
gasket in position had broken. and the
whole arrangement had dropped into
the cylinder. Smiler sprang to the
walking-beam. slid down the connect.

the piston-rod to the cylinder-head

Technical Education and Trade.

SCOUtCOu 6OV(OItOU OssW ssoN~s
The question of the influence OF
technical education upon trade has
lately been much discussed In Eng
land. The president Of the Society
of Chemical Industry in Liverpool
gives some Of the reasons why Ger
many is now advancing SO rapidly, as
follows: 1. Superior economy. thor
oughness. attention to detail. 2. The
possession of large number of men
trained not only technically. but lid
orally. 3. A close alliance OF legisia-
ton and of science with the interests
of trade. 4. A national system OF
railways and canals. s. Cheap skill
ed labor working long hours. 8. A
large supply Of unskilled laborers
already trained to habits OF order ano
discipline by army service. Z. Protec'
tive tariffs. 8. A good system OF pat
ent laws. He proposes these remedies
for England. 1. The appointment OF
q minister Of commerce. 3. The
naturalization OF railways and can
ais. 3. The extension and improve
ment of secondary education. 4. A
reform of patent laws. The question
discussed is acute in England. and

The remedies proposed are not at)al

The number Of stars recorded on .

on the region of the heavens to which
the telescope is directed, but on the
length Of exposure. At the Bonn OBJ
servatory a map of the northern
heavens was made showing every
star visible in a small telescope OF
about three inches aperture. II we

minutes seventy-thrCse times as
many BY increasing the exposure
more stars are visible. but the In
crease is not Indefinitely great. So
far as these observations go they
show either that the number OF stars
Is not infinite, or that the light OF
