Woodworking Chinaman. The higher

provinces asract them. Travellers on

Cinnamon are seen constantly at ev-
land as Irkutsk, being engaged as fruit
and truck farmers and coming to the

teal test of Il monorail system. 1t Is
described as follows: ION grOoved
wheels arranged tandem fashion, is
carried platform. The grooved
wheels run upon n rail which projects
an inch or two above the ground. An
other wheel of large diameter and hav-
ing broad tread is attached to the
car by hinged arm working on
springs. This wheel Is light in con-
struction and weight. 1t Is merely the
balance wheel and Is placed a few
inches from one side of the car and
runs on the road. 1t carries no load
whatever, the whole load being on the
rail and the central wheels. but 1t eff
fectually prevents the cars being over
balanced. On this monorail road the
power of a pair of draft animals is
multiplied by ten and of traction en-
gines by nearly twenty. and the line Is
capable of being laid as rapidly as any
army can move"

between seventy and eighty in num-
Der the city of Venice is built. The
chief of these islands Is called Isolda
de Rialto, or Island of the Deep
Stream. The islands, In many places
mere shoals, afford no adequate foun-
dation for buildings, and the city for
the most part is built upon an artiti-
clal foundation of piles and stones.
The Grand canal divides Venice into
two equal parts and is the main thor
oughfare for traffic and pleasure. The
city is subdivided by some one hun

In the current issue of the Review of
Reviews is an interesting and useful
article on q substitute for coal as fuel
and the success achieved in the use Of
denatured alcohol in Germany and Hol-
land. The author. Charles Baskerville,
points out that in these two countries
20 per cen of the stoves are fed with
denatured alcohol. Potatoes, starch,
corn or any cereal sorghum, beet-root,
residues, cornstalks. fruits Of various
kinds. melons. gourds. cactus. honey.
milk, ETC., contain the elements neces-
sary to produce this fuel, and as shown
in the article quoted. the process of dis
tillation is very simple. A million gal
Ions of denatured alcohol are used anuu-
ally in Germany as fuel for internal
combustion. engines and for driving
agricultural and other machinery. thus
relieving the demand upon coal for this
purpose. 1t is also used extensively as
an illuminant. relieving again the pres

Reno Must Change Sewer System

Carson. Nevada, FeD. 16.-At a con-
ference held in this city between Mayor
Wilson and the Council of Reno and

emphatically that he would not sign
any bill passed by the Nevada Legisa-
ture provi ing for the repeal OF the Act
passed by the last Legislature, provid-
ing that the city Of Reno shall stop
dumping sewage into the Truckee river.
Mayor Wilson states that the city will
now try and have the time in which to
complete new sewers extended by an
amendment. He also states that it will
cost the city of Reno more than $500. .o0c
to change the sewer system in Reno and
will practically bankrupt the city.
