the exact point being to make the smoke
disappear absolutely and to find some
means of making a profitable use of this
same destruction.
The method of NJ Tobiansky ia az fol-
lows: First, filtration of the smoke to rid
IL or pulverulent matters and Of the con-
densible hydrocarbides; second, carburation
or the gases to increase their facility of
combustion For a long time attempts
have been made to filter the smoke by rid
ding 1t OF Its carbonic acid and to do away
with chimneys by replacing them with an
artificial drausht which sucks or draws
pack the smoke. M. Tobiansky has COM
Dlned the two systems, and knowing that
carburated air produces an excellent gas
ne carburated the smoke which had pre-
Viously been filtered and drawn back The
products of the combustion thus treated
gave him new gas which he called .pyro-
gas, and which does not condense. For
purposes of lighting, heating and motor
uses the method is invaluable and permits
the utilization of detritus of all sorts.
The operator by means of an instrument
or suction forces the smoke into a filter
filled with porous substance which ia
saturated with a volatile hydrocarbide such
as naphtha or petroleum The porous mat
ter Is combus tible; for example, coke and
VIC VIII see III moment why this Is so
In passing through the filter the smoke de-
posts on the coke portion Of the hydro
carbides or tars which 1t contains, at the
same time becoming charged with the va
por OF the volatile hydrocarbides with
which the porous matter Is saturated
After filtration the smoke is only com
posed OF combustible gases. such as oxide
or carbon. hydrocarbide vapors and hydro
gen, and OF fncombustible gas, as nitrogen
and carbonic acid.
BY this method NJ Tobiansky obtains
from smoke Of all sorts the greatest posi-
Die profit. utilizing first the heat which Is
present In the smoke for the purpose of
heating the hydrocarbides of the filter. the
volatilization of these hydrocarbides being
all the more complete and their employ
ment all the easier since the heavy HYDRO
carbides. such as petroleum, while being
cheap, may perfectly answer every require
ment OF this system. The heat of the smoke
warns the water Of the refrigerator which
surrounds the filter. and this hot water In
turn can feed boiler. Finally the porous
matter. the coke of the filter after having
been charged with condensed hydrocarbides
ana with the carbon in suspension in the
smoke, forms an excellent and very rich
combustible In fact. the Tobiansky meth

possible, and this is no small economy when

sidered as a whole, but the motor is his
product his principal contribution to the
invention.
Prof. Manly built this motor with much
labor, carefully and studiously performed
He constructed it along the lines indicated
in general way by Prof Langley, who
does not claim to be an engineer. The in
ventor, at the beginning of his experiments
with Steel-built eam-driven areodrones
reached the conclusion that to make any
progress at all it was necessary to produce
engines which would weigh. all told,

tight. That is true Of the old machines.
The trouble is that the feeders get careless
and put in too much tobacco. In the new
self-feeders this is regulated, and the Gig

is no doubt that under the existing system
of factory inspection the bulk of cigarettes

SUIT is FILED.
There Is Romance Connected With
This Case.

Wellington, Kan, Aug. 10.-Judge JAS
Lawrence has filed a suit in district court
that has something of romantic history
back of it. 1t is entitled Grace Adeline
Berkey VS.. Elihu Fernald Thos. E. Fer
nald and J. A. Teichmann. All parties
live at Geuda Springs.
Mrs. Berkey was the adopted daughter
of George w. Fernald, deceased, and his
only heir. George w. Fernald made a
will leaving her all his property on con-
dition that she should never marry Aris-
Ia Berkey. If she did marry Berkey,
the property was to go to Elihu and
Thomas E Fernald
George w. Fernald died and his will
was probated in 1902. But despite the
provisions of the will Miss Fernald mar
ried Berkey. She nov sues to set aside
the will, claiming that the testator was
unduly influenced and prejudiced in the
premises. If the will be set aside she
will inherit all the property.
