"FAMILY' OF $50.
IN ONE DWELLING

PASSAIC, N. j., May 19.-What
promises to be the record family"
enumerated in the census of 1910
has been uncovered by George A..
Fischer, supervisor of the census.
In one house in Passaic $50 persons
eat, live and sleep, and it isn't a
very large house at that.
Despite the governmental restric-
tions as to secrecy, the find" has
leaked out. 1t is said that the house
is occupied by day shift and a
night shift, occupying the beds. In

The sanitary conditions of the
house were so bad, it is said, that
the place was reported to the board
of health, and it is likely that about
800 of the family" will have to find
another boarding house.

the work of one ton of average Pacific
coast coal.
ITO sum up, we have in favor of
liquid fuel the following points:
81. Ease of transportation and hand
ling.
-. Reduction of storage bulk.
"3. Increased cleanliness both inside
and outside the boiler room:
"a. Reduced cost per unit of heating
value.
IS. Increased percentage of eff
cheney.
"6 Increased heating capacity of gem
orators.
az. Reduced labor and firing.
"S. Greater ease of regulation"
BY way Of practical illustration of
these conclusions, Aubury cites the fol-
lowing:
"If a vessel was intended to run be-
tween San Francisco and some port
where oil for the return trip could be
had, the storage space would be about
56 per cent that required for that of
coal For every 100 tons of coal re-
quired on the trip 400 barrels of oil
would be needed. Four hundred barrels
of oil occupy a space of 2340 cubic feet
net; 100 tons of average steam coal
would occupy a space of about 40O0
cubic feet, making the space required
the coal.
'If a vessel plies to a port where oil
for return fuel is available, the weight
of oil carried is about go per cent of
that of the equivalent coal.
OIL INCREASES SPEED
1.-THE use of oil at sea is the means
of increasing the speed capacity and
extending the steam radius. 1t ma
terially reduces the fireroom force, as
the coal passer is eliminated and one
fireman can, on a large vessel, do the
work of four where coal is used. 1t
reduces the labor in port in cleansing,
both inside and outside the boiler
room.
"The economic advantage Of using
oil for fuel at the present prices is so
manifest that those who have looked
into the matter have usually adopted
oil without much experiment, while
those by whom it is used are usually
satisfied to find their fuel bills de-
creased so per cent or more without
caring to require details.

IMMENSE BODIES OF
SULPHUR TO BE MINED

The Cuprite Sulphur company is
making preparations to develop Its
property on a large and profitable
scale. This company owns 400 acres
in the famous Cuprite district in Ne
vada, only fourteen miles south OF
Goldfield, and experts believe that TINS
property will be proved to be the lar
gest sulphur deposit in the world
About a year ago the Cuprite COM
pany gave an option on its property
to an eastern party who failed to raise
the necessary money, thus leaving the
property in the hands of the com
pany. This was to the liking OF the
officers of the company, as they real
ized the immense possibilities of their
sulphur holdings; and refusing all Of
fers to sell outright decided to develop
the property on their own account.
The shipping facilities of the cup
rite company are excellent, as the
mine has immediate access to the I. L.
and Las Vegas railroads. Large snip
ments of crude sulphur have beeh
made. but in order to make q big IN
crease in profits the company has de-
cided to build a refinery. Several
places have offered special induce
ments for this, but it will propapl

The experience of the Southern Pa
cific with oil in its bay fleet is set
down as follows:
"tThe bay and ferry steamers of the
Southern Pacific company burn oil eX-
clusively with the most satisfactory
results The change from coal to oil
involved merely the building Of tanks
in the coal bunker space, the installa-
tion of the necessary pumps and the
substitution of checker walls for

largest ferry boats cost $17O0 COM
plete.
Bearing on the economy incident to
the substitution of Oil for coal in ma
rine work, figures have been obtained
in regard to the fuel consumption OF
seven steamers plying on the bay and
rivers. The data for one month were
obtained from official sources and may
be relied upon.
with steamer No. / the cost for
coal would have been $15159S. The
cost for oil was $S92.91, a saving Of
$623.17, or slightly over Al per cent,
besides the saving of $40 for labor on
the months run.
with steamer No. the cost for
coal would have been $3200.15. The
cost for oil was $1S5S.74, a saving of
$1s46. 40, or almost So per cent, besides
the saving of $140 on labor.
with steamer No. the cost for
coal would have been $2901 10. The
cost for oil was $1234.05, a saving of
1867. .05 or over 81 per cent, besides
the savings of $500 on labor.
with steamer No. the cost for
coal would have been S112S0.44 The
cost for oil was $776.49, a saving of
$512.95 or 40 per cent.

figures are for one month only, and
that these steamers went on the bay
