It is reported that Il German firm
has been awarded contract from ia
pan for locomotives only after very
keen competition with several English
firms. Germany, according to Il Con-
sllar report just issued by the State
Department from United States Con-
sui Warner, stationed at Leipsig, is at
present busy upon orders from Italy,
Russia and Japan. The Consul fur.
ther says: ut has not been so long ago
that q firm OF Leeds, England, was CIV
ell an order for locomotives by the
Sudanese Railroad amplyabeeause the
firm was prepared to fill the order
within five or six months, while an
American firm could not even promise
to do SO in twice that length of time.
The Sudancse Railroad is at present
using American locomotives, and with
such success that It was reluctant to
go elsewhere for new ones" An
American locomotive company. have
shipped about 100 locomotives TO ia
pan. The Yankee locomotives in use
on the sudanese Railway were built
at Philadelphia and have been found
not only cheapertin their initial cost
than British engines also employed OH
the African roads, but less expensive
in operation, as they consumed less
coal and oil than the Scotch locomo-
tives.-Journal Of Commerce.

in Manhattan. Some came ashore still
alive. Many Of these died but others
will recover. At q late hour divers
were still busy taking bodies from the
hold Of the steamer which they said
was choked with the remains Of human
beings, while the bodies Of scores who
lcaped or were thrown into the river
have not been recovered. .
1t was a spectacle of horror beyond
words to express-a great vessel all in
flames, sweeping forward in the sum
light, within sight Of the crowded city,
while her helpless, screaming hun
dreds were roasted alive or swallowed
up in the waves-women and children
with their hair and clothing on fire;
frightened mothers casting babes over
board or leaping with them to certain
death; wailing children and old men
trampled under foot or crowded over
into the water.
/ New York, June 1s-With unceas-
ing effort, search is going on for the
bodies Of those who persisted on the
General Slocum. What the list of VIC
tins will total scarcely any one dares
venture guess, but whatever the
number may be there is hardly o
parallel in the history of disasters
where death came to so many in SO
brief a time.
Police and health department officers
have placed the number at a figure as
high as 1000 and more, but it would
seem that the maximum fatality vii
not largely exceed ZOO
During the day 400 bodies had passed
through the morgue, and of these

Growing Appetite For Quinine.

Qunine has become one Of our sta
pie forms of food, 1t Is much more
widely and ardently eaten than garlic.
and it may soon approach the popu-
larity of pie. According TO report re-
Gently issued, considerably more than
10000 pounds of quinine were manu-
featured in India in 1902, the greater
part in Madras, while Java manufac-
tured nearly $4,000 pounds. In addi-
ton to this, over 100000 pounds Of
cinchona bark were produced chiefly in
Java and India, and this was reckoned
TO be equivalent to another 100000
pounds of Qulnine, so that the total
product of the food for the year was
nearly 100000 pounds. There are
twenty manufactures Of quinine in
existence, Of which five are i'll France,
three in England, two each in Ger
many and Italy, one in Holland, four
in America, two in India, and one in
Java. The two principal markets for
quinine are Amsterdam and London,
and the latter has greatly diminished
in Importance since the cultivation of
clnchona in java has assumed such
large proportions In fact, nearly
three times as much bark was sold at
Amsterdam in 1902, so that, although
we probably use more quinine than
any other nation, the Dutch are taking
the trade away from all the rest of
us. India has already taken the hint
and is stimulating her growth of Gin
chona. Boston Transcript.

Turbines and Superheated Steam

1t is thought that the turbine will
prove especially efficient with the use
Of superheated steam. Superheatsd
steam in the reciprocating engine Is
Objectionable, owing to the difficulty
presented by Internal friction and the
great wear caused to cylinders and

When man with ideas complains

ideas In order that they may become
