WASHINGTON and Alexandra Ferry,

Officials of the Washington Ferry
Company say the negotiations which are
pending will doubtless result in placing
a substantial and satisfactory ferry boat
on the line between this city and Wash
ington in two or three weeks time.
The boat, which is in New York, Is
a double-ender with side wheels, not
propeller as at first stated. In the mean,
time the hull of the old Columbia will
be taken 10 Baltimore and the steamer
rebuilt, and in few months the ferry
service will be in operation again.

Saved by Loving Wife

A strange incident happened not
long ago in London. The master of
the house where it took place had
been very ill for many days, strug-
Cling with a malignant disease. Com
plete rest was the only panacea for
the sick man. Sleep-uninterrupted
sleep-might possibly ensure his re-
covery. 1t was the critical hour and
the critical moment of the disease;
life trembled in the balance like fad
ing candle. A breath might extinguish
it.
His anxious, loving wife, scarcely
daring to breathe, was sitting watch
fully by his bedside. She was quite
alone, for her servants, exhausted by
long and constant watching, had left
her to seek a brief rest for their
weary frames. It was past midnight;
the door of the chamber was open for
air. In the stiffness of the night she
heard a window cautiously opened
downstairs, but she dared not move
lest she should awake her husband
from that life-saving sleep. Still she
listened, but without taking her eyes
from the sleeping invalid. She heard

Corn Valuable IS Fuel

substitutes for coal have for many
years commanded attention and espe-
cially so during the eight or nine
months in the United States when coal
prices were at abnormal figures as a
result of the anthracite miners strike.
Peat and brfquetted sawdust, wood,
oil and many other substances have
been under consideration, and among
them also corn, this last particularly
having been spoken of as something
quite new, though, as matter of fact,
corn has for long time been used
as fuel in the farming districts of the
western sections of the United States,
and that, too, with very satisfactory
results.
In a general way, it was recognized
there that when corn was abundant
and cheap and coal was expensive, the
former made a cheaper fuel than the
latter, although no scientific determin-
alton of their relative efficiency had
been made until a short time ago,
when tests were made by the depart
ment Of agriculture of the University
of Nebraska, says Casters Magazine.
These showed, among other things,
that of corn, which, il burned, will
yield from 22,512,o00 to 45,024,O00
units, not counting the heat that could
be obtained from the stalk. Since a
ton Of good coal will give up from
about 100000 to $4,000, 900 units, an
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1903-10-03

acre of ground is each year capable
of producing fuel which is equal to
0.87 or 1.28 to 1.74 or 2.56 tons of COAL
The stalk will probably Increase this
amount by one-fourth or one-third.
The experience gained from boiler
tests with corn fuel made it appear
doubtful whether corn would be a
practicable fuel for the generation of
power, unless it were burned in some
special furnace that would insure the
perfect combustion of the volatile mat
ter which forms so large percentage
of the whole corn, and which is driven
off at a comparatively low heat Some
form Of automatic stoker would also
be desirable, since the corn burns rap
idly and must be frequently fired,
making the work of the flremen very
arduous, and at the same time tending
to cause incomplete combustion by the
excess of cold air entering through
the fire door. Undoubtedly corn may,
at times, be cheap and economical
fuel for domestic USE 1t is cleaner and
more easily handled than coal and con.
tains but very small amount of ash
It burns rapidly with an intense heat,
and this is apt to be destructive to the
cast-iron Innings of the stove. Here,
again, therefore, some special form Of
flre-box, that will not be injured by
the heat, and that will utilize as much
of the heat as possible, should be used
