the engineer can't see the cat, and
all he can do is to run in obedience
to the cat-eye signals. If they are
white he goes ahead, without slack
ing; if green he is cautious: If red
he applies the air to make a stop.
Sometimes train is brought to a
dead halt before the engineer learns
what's up against him. The running
men tell me that the eyes of polecat's
and rabbits are almost as perfect sig
mails as cats eyes. No, there's been
no talk Of training cats to act as sig

GARBAGE TO LIGHT TOWN.
Alcohol Made from It wa Be Used
al Fuel at Sioux City,
Iowa.

Sioux City, 1a.-At a meeting of the
city council recently resolution was
carried requesting City Chemist w.
Lee Lewis to make an investigation
into the possibility of making dena.
tured alcohol from the garbage collect
ed in Sioux City. the alcohol to be used
as fuel to operate light engines In the
city buildings.
Alderman Maxiener subsequently de.
clared that with Chemist W. Lee
Lewis he took two buckets of garbage
from his bakery kitchen. and they
made a quantity Of alcohol, fully equal
and to all appearances as good alcohol
as vas ever made from any kind of
wood" As soon as Inventions are
completed to make It possible to use
alcohol to run the light plant in the
city building and library building. the
city OF Sioux City proposes to dispose
Of the garbage Of the entire city by
converting it into fuel fluid.
The potato Feelings and biscuits,
chicken bones and apple cores, old
rags and cherry seeds. will all be
boiled up together and converted into
power for thousands Of electric lights.

sure 1t is practical. Garbage. when
properly treated, makes the best kind
OF wood alcohol. believe the garbage
OF Sioux City would run the municipal
plants and the plant necessary to
make The alcohol. It is certainly an
economical proposition, rivaling the
idea Of Victor Hugo that France loses

sewage to drain into the ocean when
it should be put In the Vineyards.
