Creating a Deep Water Harbor.

"In 1895 Congress passed a bill appro-
priating s2,eCo.0o0 for tho construction of
a breakwater at Sun Pedro. Cal IS writes
n, A Bowers in Technical World Masa-
zine. San Pedro is thirty miles south of
Los Angeles and has about 25oo inhabi
tants. 1t has Ions been an important sea-
port OF the Pacific coast; but OF late years
its steadily growing lumber trade has
been seriously hampered by a lack Of
ample sheltered anchorage. The rapid de-
Velopmet OF Los Angeles and the ad-
Joining country has created great de-
mand for lumber; and this lumber which
is obtained chiefly from the Puget Sound
region. can be brought by water far
cheaper than by rail- San Pedro had only
limited wharfage. and absolutely no

Preserving Wood.

One Of the latest methods Of preserv-
Ing wood has been patented In France.
II has been recognized that one OF tho
best means of preservation is to keep
the wood at a high temperature in
closed vessels (about $50 degrees CO
and at the same time at high pres
sure. some $50 pounds per square inch
This method has been perfected by the
inventor, The object of the improves
ments is to provide means of heating
as efhcacious as usual, but more prac-
tical and economical. Another aim Is
to utilize a part of the air pressurs
which has served for one operation,
thus saving work in compressing. In
the new process the pieces of wood are
put in compression cylinders and the air
Is sent direct from the compresSors
into the cylinders To heat the sir
each cylinder is surrounded by a ma
sonry envelope not in contact with it,
thus leaving a free space. The hot
gases from a furnace are circulated in
this. Cooling Is effected by introducing
cold air In the space. To obtain
specially good and cheap heating a
series OF gas Jets is placed in the lower
part OF the air jacket and fed by a
gas tube and having an air tube to aid
in combustion, When the plant uses
several cylinders side by side there II
a saving in the work OF air compress
sion by utilizing( part of the COM
pressed air in a cylinder at the end
of the operation TO send it into the next
cylinder in commencing the compress
sion here. Piping is arranged between
the cylinders for this purpose.

of Electric Locomotive.

One advantage Of the electric loco
motive which may be overlooked. says
a Western electrical journal, relates to
the matter of layovers in the round
house after the completion of a run.
Steam locomotives, after a run Of 100
miles or more, must lay over TO ell
able attendants to examine and clean
the boiler. This loss of time means Il
considerable loss OF earning power OF
the equipment, especially In short runs
for the time required for the layoVer
after short run is about as long as
after long run. If the water OF the
district is poor the boiler must he
washed. taking time for cooling and for
retiring. II the boiler is fired by oil
the delay is longer than otherwise on
account OF the heavy lining of ire-
brick ir the flreboX, which holds it's
heat for several hours. With the cleo
trio locomotive, 1t is needless to say, loss
of time for boiler cleaning is done
away with. This means that the ca
pacity for earning dividends is in
creased.

Pile Protection by Concrete.

A new method for the protection of
piles under ground or water by means
of concrete is a recent invention, the
essential part of the device Is q cylin-
drical mold made to surround the pile
and into which the protecting sheath
of concrete is poured This mold is
made of two semi-cylindrical forms or
galvanized iron. whose longitudinal
edges are covered with compressible
material, closing in water-tight tont
and held in position by Jointed clamps
thus enabling the mold TO be placed
around any pile. After the water has
been pumped out OF the mold-in case

On the fourth floor the tenant had
placed a pillow on the fire escape Dora
seized it In her fall and carried 1t with
her TO the second floor fire escape,
where she landed plump IN the middle
of the pillow. Mrs. Sophia Rymer, who
lives on that floor. leaned out just In
time to prevent Dora from falling to

in for an ambulance. DR.. Mumford

Edwin seemed TO have little regard
for the fuss that was being made over
him and kept up continual squallng

young to appreciate the dignity OF

smeared over his head which was no
larger than doubled fist, he gave vent
to his feelings In manner that left no
doubt of his dsplcasure.
Slowly and In perfect time with the
drums and the chant, the BARRIERS went
about diyesting the little head Of Its
hirsute adornment. Two good swipes
of the razor would have effectually re-
moved the soft, black down, but owing
to the solemnity OF the OCCASION thirty
seven strokes were made-about one
stroke for every two hairs.
When the tonsorial performance was
completed and seventeen hairs were
left standing on the top OF the Uranium

which looked for all the world like a
