The late Edward Atkinson. the emf

expense of food preparation in the
kitchen, and thus increase the comforts
of every class. The theory of the de-
vice Is that heat could be accumulated
from common hand-lamp inside of a
pine box in such quantities as to cook
anything that was desired. He sue

birds, fish, oatmeal, corn meal and
farina could be properly roasted or
stewed, soups or broths made and other
culinary operations carried on by the
heat of a common lamp with a one
inch wick Prof. Atkinson wrote vol
uminously on this subject, and made
many lecture courses to introduce the
device to the people everywhere. The

DANNHNG LAKE ERIE.

The proposition to throw a dam
across the outlet of Lake Erie seems
to be gathering force. 1t is undoubted
that such a dam would be of much
value to commerce and to the electric
plants at Niagara. Lake Erie is vir
tually a very wide and comparatively
shallow river into which all the water
from Lakes Superior. Michigan and
Huron empties. These are all much
higher above sea level than Lake Erie.
which is also smaller than any of the
others The direction of the Lake is
in the course of the prevailing winds,
and these having a sweep along its
surface of 290 miles, the tendency is
TO pile up the water at one end or the
other, according to the winds. This is
most noticeable in the eastern end, as
the prevailing winds are from the
southwest, and when they prevail for
any length of time they pile up the water
to a great depth at the outlet The
Lake narrows down rapidly from the
average width of 65 miles to about half
mile at the entrance of Niagara River.
There the depth o. the water is about
20 feet normally, but when the waters
are piled up the discharge over the falls
is immensely increased. A low dam of
seven or eight feet above the surface
of the water, or perhaps 80 feet high
altogether, would conserve a vast vol
ume of water until it was needed, and
If would increase the depth in the har-
bcrs of Cleveland, Sandusky, Toledo,
Monroe and elsewhere, so as to give
much greater facility for the large ves-
sells now employed in the lake trade.
The level would be kept more nearly
constant. which would be to the adj
vantage of the vessels, since after the
prevalence of strong southwest wind
the water sinks to a low point and re-
mains there until the inflow from Lake
Huron will fill it up again to the nor
NAL point.

ELECTRIC MOTOR DEFIES SNOW.
big Yard Locomotive for Grand Central
station Tested Successfully.
IScbnnnrtaHy tch to

(Schenectady Dispatch to the New York
PresS.)
Taking advantage of the heavy fall
OF snow recently, an official test Of the
big electric locomotive designed to take
the place of the steam ones in hauling
trains through the tunnel in New York
was made. From early morning until
night the tests were continued, and
when they were over the officials of the
General Electric Company and the New
York Central Railroad asserted they
were satisfied with the showing made
by the engine.
During the entire series of tests the
electric locomotive remained apparently
unmindful of the big snowdrifts that
obStructed its path. 1t plowed through
the big drifts as easily as though they
were made of tissue paper, and, SO far
as the running of the locomotive was
concerned. the Is inches of snow which
lay on the level made no difference
whatever. Sixty and 20 miles an hour
were made by the locomotive in the
snow, and it is expected that better
time will be made on the second test
Chief Engineer Potter, who was pres
ent at the tests. said that the machine
was completely covered with snow dur
ing the runs, but that the exposed ma
chinery and running gear, although
packed with ice, did not interfere with
the running of the locomotive.

Whereas 1t is credibIy reported that

Therefore, be ii resolved by the De-
partment of the Potomac, G.. A. r., in
Annual Encampment assembled, That
we view with regret and sorrow the
public display of an emblem which
tends to keep alive the bitterness and
animosity engendered by the war. which
it should be the aim of every good citi-
zen to allay;
Resolved. That such a course tends
to instill in the minds of coming gem
erations aversion, if not hostility, to our
National emblem, and is not in accord
with the oft-repeated profession made
by the Southern people of their love for
the National emblem and their devo-
ton TO the Union.
Resolved, That in the interest of the
peace and good will toward all which
we desire to promote. we earnestly re-
quest all ex-COnfederate soldiers. once
our valiant foes. but now our fellow
citizens, and sharers with us in the
pride of American valor and heroism.
and all the noble-spirited people of the
beautiful Southland to abstain from all
public displays of that emblem. which
tend only to keep alive feelings which

Some of the results of the long ex-
perience and careful experiments of
the Penasy1valia Railroad in the mat
ter of paints are being made known.
No kind of paint will do equally well
for all situations. Asphalt paints are
much better in sheltered positions than
in the sun; linseed oil paints are BET
ter in the sun than in damp places.
1t has been found advisable in the case
of train-shed roofs in Jersey City and
elsewhere to cover each iron or steel
member with a thin paraffin paper
smoothed on to a coat of undried paint.
This is aftcrward painted with two
coats, which seems to protect the metal
firmly against engine fumes. Pure
oxide of iron in linseed oil seems to be
generally the best preservative of iron

GASOLENE-ELECTRIC CAR.
A Very Successful Trial of n New Model

Recently there was trial, which re-

of a gasolene car by the Delaware &
Hudson Railroad. 1t was built ac-
cording to the plans of Master Me-
chanic C. H. Souter at the Company S
shops in Schenectady, and tested by a
run from that city to Saratoga A
number of the officials of the road and
of the General Electric Company were
in the car when the trial was made, and
all expressed the greatest satisfaction
at the result. The highest speed made
was 45 miles a hour, and at times a

Treasury of the United States on ac-
count of the Patent fund Jan 1, 1906,

In concluding his report the Com
missioner of Patents says:
THE most important event in the
business of this Office during the year
1905 was the passage and taking effect
of the new trademark law of Feb 20
1905. This act reduced the fee upon
filing an application for trademark
from $25 to $40, and Immediately re-
suited in a great increase in the number
OF trademark applications. The in
crease may be appreciated by compar-
ing the number of applications received
in the year 1905. 1924, with the num-
ber in the preceding year, 2,524, the
number filed the past year thus being
about six and one-half times the num-
ber filed the preceding year. The work
thus laid upon this Office in the trans
action of this large amount of new
business has made IL necessary to in
crease the force employed in the Trade
Mark Division and has laid heavy bur-
dens upon the Examining Division from
which this force was drawn, as well as
upon the clerical force drawn upon for
the performance of the additional cleri
cal work. To this should be added the
increase in the number of applications
for patents for the year 1905, such in
crease being 1855. The great increase
