Latest German Improved Sclf-COOkerS
Pronounced n Decided Success.
In reply to a Kansas City corrcs

lowing information concerning the
newest form OF fireless stoves In Ger
many:
Flreless stoves, or sclf-cookers. ps
they are variously known, have been Nj
use in Germany for number OF years.
so that they may now be classified as
successful. The earlier types are
merely boxes constructed with double
walls. or by secret processes built SO
as to retain heat when sealed. These
cookers. which are still on the market,
are used us follows: After thorough
heating, food to he cooked (stewed or
boiled) Is placed inside the box. sealed.
and left for sufficient time, when IL
is opened, and the food, cooked by the
retained heat. Is ready to serve.
Recently company here has i'm
proved upon the apparatus and pro-
duced q fireless stove that not only
cooks, but fries and roasts, Profitlns
by past failures and successes the coIl-
pany has perfected n cooker that, al-
though on the market but year, has
already proved very popular. Frying
and roasting are accomplished in tho
new cooker by the use OF a heated
stone. The stone is thoroughly heated
in an oven. over gas or any fire, and
placed in tho cooker with the steak or
roast The box is sealed up and left
for an hour or so. as required. then
opened. and the food is fully prepared
and hot In the double boxes all three
processes may proceed at one time
without care or difficulty.
The owners OF the patents on this
latest apparatus claim that the sales

it is no uncommon thing for the bulk
OF the staff to arrive late, and. as a.

more feasible, Is the digging of canal
on the Nile. beginning at Bor and
running south across to where the
Sobat River flows in. Such canal
would carry the waters Of the Nile
along on the highlands above the
swamps and prevent their flowing into
them except when desired. This canal
would need to be little over 200
miles long, and 1t could be controlled
at Bor By regulator across the
stream. by which as much or as little
of the Nile as Is needed can be sent
down the river. The channel proposed
would carry about 1000 tons of water
per second. which is only one-flfth
more than the amount discharged into
tho big canal at Assiout. This Bor-
Sobat canal would shorten the main
Nile as a nnvigable waterway, and all
the boats going up and down the
stream would pass through it. The
excavation would cost about $4,000, 900
