RESCUE CHAINED BOY TO EAT SPARROWS
CHICAGO HUMANE OFFICERS FIND
CASE OF CRUELTY.
Parents Claim Boy Is Bad and Needed
Punishment, While Neiehbors
Say He Has Long Been
lll-Trea te6.

Chicago door of a little back
room in an Orleans street fiat was
forced by humane officers, heavy
| dog chain cut, and a trembling, enact
ated boy of six years released and
taken into an adjoining room, where
he blinked at the sunshine he had not
seen for twenty-four hours
If the story the boy sobbed out to
his rescuers is true he is the vic
tim of the most unnatural cruelties
ever practised by parents on a de-
fenseless child.
Immediately after the story was
completed Hugo Lang and his wife,
Bertha, were locked in cells on com
plant of Charles H. Brayne, an officer
of the Illinois Humane society. who
declares that they calmly confessed
they were responsible for the child's
condition. Their only justification,
Mr.. Brayne said. was that little Hugo
was "a very bad boy and needed
punishment
An anonymous complaint from
somebody living near the Lang fat
at 81 Orleans street caused Offleer
Brayne to visit the place. When he
entered the fiat he was met by Lang,
who is a fireman. When the investi-
gator asked to see the child Lang
asked him to wait until the boy could
be prepared"
But Mr., Brayne wasn't to be salts
fed so easily. He forced his way past
the father and into the darkened
room, where he could hear slight
movements. He felt his way around
the wall until he reached chain, to
| which, he discovered a moment later,
the child was fastened. dog fashion.
When he found the chain was being
removed Hugo covered against the
| floor, according to the humane officer
as though in fear of some fresh cruel
| ty. Then he was led into the other
room, where he blinked and drew one
arm across his eyes to shut out the
light
The boys hair was matted with
| clots of blood. there were cuts on his
face and neck and his leg was swol
len from contact with the chain.
Lang admitted that he and his
wife had been Furnishing Hugo and
said that the child had stolen re-
lyolver from a drawer in their room,
and they were endeavoring to force
him to confess It." said Mr.. Brayne.
"Neighbors say that this has been
going on for three years.
The spirit of the boy has been so
broken that he is more like whipped
dog than human being. He crawls
to his parents on all tours when they
call him and has spent much of his
life sobbing in a dark room where
they have kept him"

POWER FROM WASTE STEAM

The advent of the steam turbine
engine has proven beyond cavil that
fully half the power of steam is vast
ed in the exhaust of the old recipro-
eating type of steam engines.
1t was only few years ago that
Charles G. Curtis, working In the
shops of the General Electric Com
pany at Schenectady, N. y, proved
that the turbine engine was COM
mercial possibility, and since that
date hundreds of these turbine en-
gines have been placed in the mills
and factories. The turbine engine,
as is we'll known, is form of steam
engine which is propelled by steam
power in much the same way as
water wheel is driven by the weight
and fall of water. The pressure OF
the steam striking against large
number of curved blades hirls the
moving parts of the engine.
Very recently it was found that
certain type of steam turbine with
extra large blades could be made
which would utilize the exhaust steam
from the old reciprocating engines
and turn 1t into valuable horsepower.
One electric light station in Pennsyl-
vania felt the need for more power,
so asked for bids to install new en-
gires. When the engineer came to
figure on the job he recommended
large low pressure Curtis turbine to
be installed to use the exhaust steam
from the old engines. Such turbine
was placed and today it turns this old
waste steam into five hundred horse
power without burning pound more
of coal.
Steam at two or three pounds pres
sure when exhausted into vacuum,
/, capable of great power II the work.
ing surface of the engine is large
enough. 1t could not be used IN a
reciprocating engine to advantage be-
cause the cylinders would have to be
enormous to take care of such
volume of low pressure steam. But
the low pressure turbine equipped
with wide blades, will do the trick
very nicely.

AN ANCIENT CITY ENJOYS ELEC-
TRIO LIGHTS

Tarsus, that ancient city of the
East where the Apostle Paul was
born, is now illuminated by electric
ity.
Tn electricity is obtained from wat
err power developed from the Cydnus
river, famed for its magniflcence, and
on whose placid bosom floated upon
occasion no less a person than the
great Cleopatra. The electricity is
transmitted to the old city where 45O
electric street lights illuminate the
narrow streets. About six hundred
are already installed
for private use and more will be put
in as fast as the superstitious inhabit-
ants lose their inherent fears of the
mysterious powers of electricity.
