LIGHT FROM SMOKE
New Apparatus Will Use the Waste
AS an I1luminant.
Nature.

Nature.
M. Tobiansky recently demon
strated before the Belgian Society Of
Engineers the value Of an apparatus
which is well worth the study of man
ufacturers.
Smoke may be more or less invisi-
BILE, but It's composition is invariable.
It is made up of pulverulent matters,
incombustible gases, as nitrogen and
anhydride carbonic, :combustible gases
such as oxide of carbon, hydrocar-
bides and hydrogen. These represent
the structure of smoke, no matter
how transparent It may be. The fact
is, however, that this heterogeneous
mixture may be burnt, a familiar
proof of which is given in the paper
horn, the smoke of which is ignited,
but after this second combustion the
smoke is not again destroyed, the ex-
act 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 M. Tobiansky is as
follows: First, filtration Of the smoke
to rid it Of pulverulent matters and
Of the condensible hydrocarbides;
second, carburation Of the gases to in
crease their facility of combustion.
For a long time attempts have been
made to filter the smoke by Kidding it
Of its carbonfc acid and to do away
with chimneys by replacing them with
an artificial draught which sucks or
draws back the smoke. M. Tobiansky
has combined the two systems, and
knowing that carburated air produces
an excellent gas he carburated the
smoke which had previously been fl
tered and drawn back. The products
Of the combustion thus treated gave
him, a new gas, which he called "py-
rogas," 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 in
strument Of suction forces the smoke
into a filter filled with porous sub
stance which is saturated with avola-
tile ahydrocarbide such as naphtha or
petroleum. The porous matter Is a
connbustible; for example, coke, and
we will see in a moment why this is
so. In passing thru the filter the
smoke deposits on the coke a portion
of the hydrocarbides or tars which it
contains, at the same time becoming
charged with the vapor Of the volatile
.hydrocarbides with which the porous
matter is saturated. After filtration
the smoke is only composed Of COM
bustible gases, such as oxide Of car
bon, hydrocarbide vapors and hydro
gen, and of incombustible gas, as nj
trogen and carbonic acid.

At intervals ever. since then the tar
antuIa had been seen at various places
thru the dwelling, but in every instance
it managed to elude It's pursuers, who
began to have creepy feelings every time
they saw anything move in a shadowy
place. It got to be a reign Of terror in
the house, but no one seemed able to
find the thing that menaced them.
Just as he and his wife were about to
retire on Saturday night, link once more
caught sight Of the tarantula as it chung
to a picture frame in his bedroom.
.'Ha!" cried link. II have you at last,
you pesky varmint!'' and he made a
heroic effort to do the thing to death.
The huge insect seemed to wink at him
as it lodged behind the picture frame
and mysteriously disappeared like ghost
or some other horrid creation of the
fancy. Sure that he was on the trail of
the insect, link got up early yesterday
morning, determined to rid the house OF
the creature. He searched in every pos
sible crevice and Granny, and at last,
after two hours of unceasing scrutiny, he
came upon the spider crouched in a little
crevice In the wall where it may have
hidden all these months. link killed it
and proudly exhibits the hairy body at his
home 1t measures over five inches across
its legs.

Butte'S Great Wealth.

More wealth is produced in the small
area OF Butte City every year than IN
some whole states. The revenue from
the mines-some fity-fve million dollars
is equal to the income OF the govern
ment OF Ho land. The recent great pro-
gress in every department OF electrical
development has been made possible in
large degree by he energy OF these men
OF Butte For the city and its environs
now produce a quarter OF the world en-
tire product of copper, about two-hths
that OF the United States. A single
group of mines in the heart Of the city
the Anaconda-yields more than twice
as much copper yearly as all Germany.
Nor is the treasure confined to copper
Butte is the greatest silver-producing
center in the United States, its annual
output-some thirteen million dollars
being nearly equal to that OF the entire
state of Colorado, which, next to Mon
tana, has the largest production of all
the states. And of gold Butte still yields
considerably over a million dollars year
ly.-[Ray Stannard Baker in the April
