RARGAENG IN POWER.

Most OF the companies which have been or
ganized primarily TO furnish electricity for pur-
poses Of illumination aim to sell what they can
SOr power also. Yet doubts are expressed BY
"The Electrical World" about the thoroughness
with which the campaign is conducted for GER
tain classes Of patronage.
The demand for current huctuates greatly
within every period of twenty four hours. 1t
IS greatest just after nightfall, remains fairly
steady for two or three hours at least, and then
declines gradually. In small cities the subsi-
dence begins earlier than in large ones, but the
range Of the variation is practically the same.
II diagram were drawn to illustrate the phe-
nomenOn it would show marked elevation at
the point corresponding to early evening Hav-
ing such figure in mind, electricians speak of
this crest as the peak" The fact for which
the phrase stands has been source Of unend-
ing anxiety to them for years. When the redui-
sition made on steam engines is reasonably uni
form at all hours Of the day and night, the CON
sumption Of fuel is much lower a horsepower
than when it is irregular. To some extent the
peak has been smoothed by the introduction Of
large storage batteries but It has not been elm
mated, and is now almost as wasteful as ever
Even when otherwise welcome patronage from
factories in the daytime has been secured, Il
often happens that the requirements for this

Vantageous to obtain larger amount OF ''non.

1t should be feasible TO perform outside OF rusb

THE GASoLENE Nuisance.

Mr.. Sidney COlvin's vigorous attack in the
London "Times" upon the noise, smoke and
stencil OF many motor vehicles Of the gasOlene
or petrol type, which we quoted the other day.
has ELECTED many sympathizing utterances and
may indeed prove to have started an effective
movement for the suppression OF the nuisances
Of which he complained. Even those who take
exception to some OF his more vehement state
ments agree with him on the general issue,
some of the most enthusiastic motorists say
ing frankly that the noise and smoke of such
vehicles can and should be prevented, and that
their prevention should be required by law
under strict penalties.
Thus Mr.. Henry Norman, NJ p, who con-
fesses himself IAN enthusiastic motorist" and
who is chairman Of the Parliamentary COM
mittee on cabs and Omnibuses In London, re-
peats and emphasizes his recent declarations
in 1.-The Fortnightly Review" to the effect that
the emission Of smoke from automobiles is un-
necessary and intolerable and is due to either
faulty construction or incompetent driving, and
that noise is also avoidable, and public vehicles
making an intolerable noise should have their
licenses revoked. (Why not private vehicles,
Of that class.) Mr.. Norman adds the sensible
demand that there should be no indulgence in
an orgy of nuisances during the experimental
stage of this interesting invention, but that
from the first certain standard Of public COM
fort should be inhexibly maintained.
We have no doubt the nulsances to which
Mr.. Colvin called attention will soon be sup.
pressed in London. Are we prepared to con-
fess that "they order this matter better" over
there than we do apparently can here?

Natives OF Tibet sometimes impose

for It. In the meanwhile an old head

a letter of instruction said to have
been sent to a British army officer, who
reported that Private Blank had lost
his greatcoat runs as follows THE
calculation of the value OF a lost great
coat should be made by deducting the
value when worn out from the value
when new, as given In article 10 Of 1865,
clothing warrant, dividing the remain
der by the number OF months the gar
ment should wear. multiplying the
quotient by the number Of months the
garment has actually been worn and
subtracting the sum thus obtained from
the total value of the new greatcoat.
The balance is the amount that should
be charged"

A dish containing not more than four
