The power of the jaws of the croco.
ollie Is terrific, says Sir Samuel Baker
in his book Oh wild beasts
Once, he continues, he had the metal
of large hook the thickness of an or.
binary telegraph wire, completely bent
together, the barbed point being
pressed tightly against the shank and
rendered useless. This compression was
caused by the snap Of the jaws when
seizing a live duck which he had used
as a bait, the hook being fastened be-
meath one wing. On one occasion he
found fish weighing seventy pounds
bitten clean through as If divided by
a knife. This, again, was the work OF
the snap Of the jaws of crocodile
A Frenchman, M. Paul Bert, once
made experiments on the strength of a
crocodile's jaws by means of a dyna.
mometer. He found that crocodile
weighing 100 pounds exerted a force OF
308 pounds In closing his jaws.

HOUSEHOLD REFUSE IN VIENNA
How 1t Is Collected and Disposed of
In Austrian Capital.

How 1t Is Collected and Disposed of
In Austrian Capital.
The Vienna correspondent Of the
Lancet deals with the question of the
collection and disposal of household
refuse in that city in recent number.
The question of dealing with the
household refuse produced in city of
100000 inhabitants has for some
time, he says, been engaging attention
and the following results have been OBJ
tanned from the experiments conducted
by the municipal authorities. AS re-
CARDS the disposal Of the dry material
collected in the dust bins, the method
giving the best result has been com
bustion
The refuse Is collected by carts pro-
yided with special receptacles All the
dust bins are covered square boxes of
a uniform shape and size, about 75
centimeters long, so centlmeters high
and 90 centimeters wide. These boxes
are pushed into the receptacle Of the
car, which is then closed by lid and
the box Is uncovered and emptied by
turning handle without any dust es-
Gaping into the street. The refuse is
then conveyed to the "c0mbustorius,"
where 1t is burned, except such por-
tions as can be used otherwise.
Old metal, tinware and glass ara
melted down in a special apparatus
and used for industrial purposes, while
the combustible material is used to
generate steam for driving two dyna.
mos for lighting the building. AS yet
these trials have been conducted on a
small scale, but If the system Is ap-
proved Of and refuse collected from the
whole city is treated In this way the
amount Of energy obtained will be
very considerable.
The treatment Of wet refuse, espe.
cially Of an organic nature has not
hitherto yielded satisfactory results.
and another series OF experiments with
this material has been instituted in The
hope Of using it as manure. The cost
Of refuse disposal on the system de-
scribed is very small and the process
is even expected to be profitable for
the municipality, II conducted on a
larger scale, while 1t is undoubtedly
the best way from the standpoint of
hygiene and medicine. In particular.
the method of collecting refuse with
out scattering dust Is sure to be inli.
tated by many corporations, while n
fruitful source Of contamination of the
air, especially during the busiest hours
Of the day, is thus easily done away
with.
