FUEL OF TEE FUTURE

there be any advantage in using the gas more than once? Is there any resem- blance between MT. Warren's proposition and the hope, once expressed by the late MT. Tripler, that with one horse power, generated by steam, he could produce enough liquid air to develop ten horse- power? Perhaps at some future time fur ther light will be thrown on these phases of the subject, either by MT. Warren or his critics. In the meantime, it is per- missible to remark that if, as he asserts. power is free" there IS a wonderful diff ference in the cost of harnessng 1t.
 In the course of his discussion of fuels MT. Warren alludes to the kinds at pres ent utilized as having been thrust upon us by those who had them to sell" That utterance is hardly such as to commend to favor his plan for a substitute. Con- sumers of coal and oil have used those articles because nothing better was to be had. Though they may have been dissat- isfied at times with tke price, as buyers often are they have had reason to be thankful that fuel of some sort could be had. They were under no compulsion to purchase. Will dealers :n hydrogen be dominated by purely altruistic sentiments and put on the market at less than the cost of production?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-15

From the New York Tribune
 To the oft-presented question of where industry will get power when the coal and oil are gone. novel. if not quite satisfactory answer is offered by MT. Edward C. Warren in 'The Engineering Magazine for November. Among the chemical elements which develop heat by combustion is hydrogen. and in that gas Mr. Warren thinks an ideal fuel can be found. It develops four times as much heat as the best coal, and burns so thor oughly that no soot is deposited. Besides, the supply is practically inexhaustible, as hydrogen is one of the constituents of water and the gas can be recovered and used again promptly. The product or combustion in this case is aqueous vapor, which can be condensed as exhaust steam is and then immediately subjected to the proper treatment for divorce. The pro cess by which carbon once burned is again made available takes years.
 These statements will hardly be dis puted by either the chemist or the engi- neer. but they do not fully meet the re- quirements of the fuel problem. The task of dssociating hydrogen from oxy gen calls for the expenditure of other materials or of mechanical power. By the methods now in vogue the operation is an expensive one. If the cost of pro- ducing hydrogen were 10 or 20 or 30 times that of coal would it's adoption be eco nomical? Is there any reason to believe that the process would be any cheaper the second or third time than the first? Except for the convenience of limiting the space demanded for storage, would

PERlLS OF THE AIR
The Workers on High Buildings Daily
 Brave Breathless Risks.

As you watch them at work on the girders, clinging to massive steel corners perched on the tops of columns, or leaning out over the street far below, it is not the reCklessness, but the cool. steady neryG that you notice most Under all the ap- parent uneoncern you can feel the endless strain. It shows in the looks of their eyes, in the lines of their faces, in the quick, sudden motions, in the slow, cat- like movements. Endlessly facing death, they are quiet and cool by long training.
 Up on the Metropolitan Life,'' some twenty-five tiers above the street, an enormous circle of stone was being built in as frame for the clock. A dozen men were at work on the scaffold that hung outside, and projecting from over head was the boom of the derrick that hoisted the massive stone blocks Suddenly the cable caught, and the full power from the engine below was brought to bear on the derrick. All this in an instant, but in that instant somebody saw what was going to happen. With quick, warning cry he made a leap from the blanks to tde solid steel beams of the building. There was a rendng and tearing above, and. just as the man leaped into safety, the derrick crashed down, bearing with it the seaffold and part of the stone. One empty lreathless moment, then a roar from far below, and a cloud of gray dust came slowly drifting upward to the group of tiny men still clinging to the girde-s. Tor a moment longer nobody moved. Then some one broke the spell with g husky laugh, another gave an ex- plosive balloo-and then the gang set about repairing the damage

New York, November H-"The greatest street in the world is in America. Lon don may have it's Strand and Picadilly, Paris it's Bois du Boulogne and Champs Elysees and Berlin it's Unter den Lin den. But viewed from any aspect except that of mere age, Broadway-New York's Broadway-is ahead of any two of them put together The words were spoken today by an American who has just re- turned from a trip of several months through Europe, but they may be taken as typical of the sentiments of those who have had the opportunity of comparing the most celebrated thoroughfare in the United States with others more or less known to fame in foreign countries Even the New Yorker, who takes for granted almost all the good and bad qualities of his city. grows enthusiastic when Broad way is mentioned.
 The reason for this is easy to under stand, for those who know the long, IT, regular thoroughfare which runs from tip to tip of Manhattan Island. It is not merely that Broadway is the most impor- tant street in New York; it is the epitome

It Is significant that one never hears an actor singing Take Me Back to Fifth Ave nue. It's always Broadway. For all that Fifth Avenue has been written about and preached against. its fame like that of any fashionable street. is transitory. Even in it's palmiest days Fifth Avenue represented nothing characteristic ex- cept wealth. Now business is rapidly driving out the costly residences, fore ing them into side streets and to the newer fashionable sections further up- town Almost the entire length of the avenue below Central Park is already given over to business and to the kind of business that keeps daylight hours-of- flee buildings, wholesale salesrooms and retail shops.

Anthropologists have never been able
to reach an agreement concerning the
question of race origin. Some hold to
the monogenist, others to the polygen-

justify the belief In a common origin

asserted by many scientists that evolu-
