Power From Waste Gases.
rom the Engineering Magazine.


At present -about half the coke in Ger
many is produced i'm the older style of ovens
which burn all their own gas, and from
which only exhaust heat is available for
steam generation. The other half of the
coke is made I'm by-product ovens, where
the gases are cooled and deprived of their
tar ammonia, benzol. etc, and are then
used partly for heating the ovens them
selves and for generating steam, any sur
plus being available for gas engines. BY
constructing these by-product ovens on the
regenerative principle, all their gas can be
used in gas engines. 1t has been estimated
that the gas and waste heat from the coke
ovens in Germany are capable of produce
ing from 100000 to 800, 900 horse power, ac-
-cording as they are used for steam genera
ton or in gas engines, or partly for one and
partly for the other. Coke-oven-gas engines
with total capacity of 1900 horse power
were actually in use or in course Of con-
struction last summer.
Blast-furnace gas is a still more important
source of power. With a monthly output of
100000 tons of iron, which was slightly
exceeded by the blast furnaces of Germany
in 1906, it is found that they generate
enough gas to produce 1,000, 900 horse power
IL used in gas engines, about half that
amount IL burned under boilers I'm connec-
ton with the best reciprocating engines or
steam turbines, and only one-third of n
million horse power, or less, IL used with
metallurgical works and mines. The blast
furnace-gas engine has made rapid prog
ress, and in May, 1906, there were in oper-
alton or in course of construction in Ger
many such engines with a total capacity Of
372 600 horse power.

SIMPLIFIED WRITIN G
MOVEMENT FOR UNIFORMITY IN
JAPAN AND KOREA.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The Kanji Toitsu-kai Photographic Unf-
formity Society is the latest move of pro-
gressive Japan toward the mastership or
the far east. The new club was organized
IN December last and such prominent men
as Baron Kaneko, Mr.. Takahashi and Prof.
Yorikuni Inouye allowed their names to be
used to help along the movement.
The object of the new association is to
compile a dictionary of ideographs common
to the Japanese Chinese and Korean Writ
ten languages attaching to each Telegraph
the corresponding sound of the spoken syl-
liable in the three languages. English ex-
plantations and foot notes will be sprinkled
through the work, and these will be written
In Romaji, Japanese Theoretically repro
duced in Roman type.
According to the plans of the Geographic
Uniformity Society its labors will result in
the building up of an oriental esperanto,
which will bring Chinese. Japanese and
Koreans into better mutual understanding.
But there exists a mighty gulf between the
theory and the practice of the new So
ciety's ideal.
In the Japanese written language there
are two distinct systems of photography.
One QSatakana) is purely classical Chinese
and Is known only to scholars and literatl;
the other (kana) Is the common script or the
merchant and coolie life. japanese
scholar may write classical poems which
Chinese scholar or Korean scholar could
read and understand but the shopkeeper
who sells this japanese poet his gela could
not read line of his effusion.
Two and even in certain degree three.
systems of photography exist in China. and
Korea has its different script for the
scholar and the coolie. The Unmun, or
common Korean syllabary. is unique among
all Mongolian languages in that il is based
alphabet, ancient the life of the
land itself
All other languages of the yellow races
built up from ideographs only without
the simplfcation of alphabet. The Korean
gentleman processes scorn for his native
Cnmun and writes only in classic Chinese.
So the progressive japanese society for
topographic uniformity 1t may be seen, has
its work cut out in broad measure.

NERVOUSNESS TEAT DISPLAYS
ITSELF IN BUSY FINGERS.

From the New York Sun.
Nervousness that displays itself in con-
stanty tapping the fingers is said to be ex-
hibited to some extent by typewriter girls.
Expert typewriter opera tors use eight fin
gers at their work.
The steady concentration and extreme
speed, in some cases, seem to produce
digital numbness that occasionally becomes
so pronounced as to interfere with the abi-
ity of the typewriters. In some cases i'm
patient employers, failing to comprehend
the cause of their stenographers' trouble,
have discharged them.
If the girl afflicted with this finger tapping
trouble manages to do her work properly
and speedily she pays for her grit. The
Jothersome numbness leaves her fingers
soon after the days grind at the typewriter
is ended, and Is succeeded by the nervous
ness that many of the victims consider far
more Objectionable
All that is required by the typewriter girl
suffering from this disorder is table, the
arm of chair, book or bag In her lap or
any other object upon which she may rest
her wrist and begin the ceaseless tapping.
"Typewrtertis'' might describe the mall
ady. The eight fingers of the victim thrum
idly the moment she sits down to dinner
A stranger noting the movement watches
for 1t to cease, but there Is no letup.
Any one may feel desire to drum with
his fingers a few moments without conSid-
ering himself nervous, but 1t is the desire
of the typewriter girl to continue it indef-
ntely that marks her victim and gen.
orally makes her friends equally fdgety.
Girls with sharply. well-manicured fingers
sometimes simulate the symptoms of the
disease but none of the immunes, however
vain, can initiate the nervous tapping of
real victim.
Seventeen stenographers in the Park Row
building were asked if they ever noticed
the nervousness in themselves. Five said
yes. The twelve others looked scornful, or
amused, or incredulous, but said no.
Twelve of the same profession in the
Flatiron building were put on the witness
stand, and all but five disclaimed having
any symptoms of the disease. One of the
five treated the matter frivolously and asked
the questioner what he wanted her to say,
agreeing to give the right answer, regard
less Of the facts.
Typewriters who operate the keys slowly
need have no fear of the trouble.

Why Railways Are Being Electrified.

cTOm the engineering Magazine.
The final arguments for the identification
of a steam railroad are reduction in opera
ton costs and increase of earning capacity
of the present tracks. There are of course
several incidental advantages accruing
from the use Of electricity as motive power
which are of considerable importance. al
though 1t is difficult to evaluate them in dol
lars and cents. In this category we may
include three: First. the smaller wear and
tear on the tracks, structures and roadbed,
due to the absence of the lateral swaying
and vertical hammering caused by partially
reciprocating parts Of the steam locomotive.
Second. the elimination of smoke, under
certain conditions, such as those from the
New York Central tunnel approach to the
New York terminus. is a very compelling
argument, and further reduces the mainte-
nance of the rolling stock by making the
necessity of car-body painting and cleaning
less frequent. Third, the greater facility of
train movement, which results from the
simplicity of control; the greater readiness
for service-no time need be consumed In
getting up steam, taking coal, or cleaning
fires; and greater factor of reliability in
the locomotive unit, by the elimination Of
fire, boiler. high-pressure steam pipes, etc.

HARD TO LIVE WITH A DUCHESS.
When She's Polar Bear and Insists on
Bossing the Den.


From the New York Sun.
Ever since Jim took up housekeeping
with the Duchess when she arrived here
from Germany three weeks ago he has been
having hard time of it. There are hen
pecked husbands among polar bears as
there are in the human family, and Jim
is one Of them.
He was mighty glad when his mate
came over the seas to make her home in
the Central Park menagerie, for he had
been a widower for two years. When the
barred box in which she crossed the ocean
was carried up to the bear den Jim caught
sight of the captive and actually danced
with joy.
The keepers are of the opinion now that
the old polar regrets his escape from single
blessedness. His mate is a tyrant in her
way and makes it very disagreeable tor
him.
When it comes eating time she tries to
keep all the fish or bread for herself, and
1t is only by strategy that Jim can get his
portion. His usual method is to sneak up
behind her, snatch a loaf of bread and
run with 1t to the top Of their cave. The
Duchess gets the better part of the food,
occupies the pool or the cave when she
feels like it and if her mate goes near
her she growls and shows her teeth.
One day he seemed to have made up his
mind to show the little foreigner that he
was boss of his own home, When she got
surly at meal time he opened his jaws and
growIed as If he was going to eat her up.
But he was only making a bluff, and the
Duchess called him, as she made a snap at
his nose. He hustled for the top of the
cave and stayed there until she had Finished
her meal.
What seems to make things worse for
Jim is that his mate is all kindness to the
big bachelor grizzly in the adjoining in
closure. When the grizzly goes to the iron
bars that separate the two dens the Ouch

Naturally this makes Jim bit jealous, but
