ADVANTAGE OF LIQUID FUEL
Use of Gas Engines Aids in Mlnimiz.
ing of Space and Reduces
Expense.

The weight of and the space oecu-
pied by propelling machinery being
less for gas or oil motors than for
steam engines, it follows that a ves-
sci of less displacement will suffice
TO carry the same cargo, says n re-
cent article in Casters Magazine.
Moreover. owing to the greater etli-
cheney obtained by adopting the in
ternal combustion principle, n less
weight of fuel will suffice for a yoy-
age of given duration. Both these
statements apply in all cases. but in
vessels making short voyages, and in
which the weight of fuel carried ID
small. the second consideration is of
little moment. For long voyages.
however, without refueling the bunker
or t~nk capacity can be very much
reduced for gas or oil motors, and
greater economy in displacement can
therefore be effected In long voyage
than In short voyage vessels. Short
voyages Will be more usual for the
size of cargo boats considered. IL
for a vessel of, say, 1000 tons dis
placement and 1000 indicated horse
power, 100 tons weight could be saved
in machinery and fuel by adopting
gas engines and producers with coal
fuel, or oil engines using heavy oil
fuel in place of reciprocating steam
engines with boilers burning coal or
oil, the displacement of the vessel
could be reduced probably by a little
more than 100 tons.

comnlaInt Was IncurabIe.n


A remarkable fraud has just been
worked on the Institut Pasteur in
Paris by a negro hailing from eastern
Africa. Alleging that he was suffer-
ing from the terrible malady of sleep
ing sickness, the negro was admitted
to the hospital TO undergo treatments
His symptoms were diagnosed as per-
petual hunger, coupled with profound
drowsiness. The doctors at the hos
pital, believing the mans case to be q
genuine one, took him in hand and
lavished every conceivable attention
ON him. A fortnight was spent by the
self-styled victim of sleeping sickness
in alternate sleeping and eating.
Eventually the negro's utter incapable.
ity to make any kind of physical effort
aroused their suspicious, and without
more ado he was discharged. Some
days afterward the negro returned to
the Institut Pasteur to thank the
principal for the latter's kindness to
him. 1t was then that the doctors
realized hat the Negroes complaint
vas "incurable.'

if he were summoned. We're the eau
cuses held today, under the present
condition of sentiment, we believe
clear majority Of the delegates would
be unpledged. If nothing better APP
pears than is now offered let the
voters take the matter in their own
hands, choose men not committed to
any one, and let them act indepen-
IDENTIFY at the convention. 1t would
be a healthful movement and worth
while"
Commenting on this suggestion the
Brattleboro Phoenix expresses the
following significant opinion:
I'VE hope the plan for unpledged
delegates will be adopted in the eau
cuses in every town in Windham
county Delegates free to act will
exert mighty influence in the State
convention. Through unpledged del
egates the,way will be opened to get
nominee for governor who can be
supported with genuine enthusiasm.
Let's try It,"
Speaking in an entirely unbiased
way, it is evident that the situation
in Vermont regarding the governor
ship is unusual. The men who might
secure the position the easiest do not
care enough for the honor to hustle
for 1t, while the people plainly do not
want the man who wants 1t most. It
is a splendid opportunity to lie the Of
fee seek the man, and the individual
who gets in the way of the movement
is pretty sure to get bowled out Of
the running. When the people get
around to the job, they will be very
likely to pick man who will make
the best governor procurable, and
nobody can take exceptions TO the
adoption OF this course.-Burlington

Taking Off the

A prominent breeder has the follow
Ing to say regarding the clipping of
horses: A serviceable hand power
horse clipping machine may be bought
for from IS up TO S25, very satisfac
tory one for the former price, though
where there are several horses TO be
clipped, il is better TO get a higher
priced one. 1t takes two men to run
the ordinary hand power clipping ma

regular farm help, and there are usual

much else can be done, so that very
little time need be lost from the regu-

Farmers do not appear to appreciate
the advantages of clipping the horses.
In The spring, when hard work begins
for the farm horse, the coat of hair Is
lony coarse and heavy. Nature fur
nishes it to serve the same purpose for
the animal that the fur coat does for
its owner When the horse is put to
work the long hair is at once bur
den, and the animal becomes covered
with sweat upon even light exercise
of warm spring day.
When this heavy coat becomes wet
1t takes 1t a long time to dry. The
spring nights are often quite cold, in
strong contrast with the temperature
during the day. Naturally the thick

FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Pub

If the pitiful condition of the four
teen-year old girl now at the retreat
in Brattleboro because of a nervous
breakdown resulting from an initia-
ton into a high school frat" results
in some drastic action in relation to
these useless organizations the
childs sufferings will not all have
been in vain. The agitation against
high school societies has been in pro
gress for some time but has appar-
emily accomplished but few definite
results. The father of the victim,
who resides at Bridgeport, Conn, has
made a demand upon the school
board for an investigation and the
publicity that is likely to be given to
the incident, It is to be hoped, will
give an impetus to reform that is
generally admitted to be needed. At
a dinner of New York publishers not
long ago the head of one of the lead
ing yellow journals of that city made
excuses for the saffron hue that char
acterized his paper on the ground
that the American conscience had to
be shocked in order to bring out any
energetic action. Immediately fol
lowing the cremating of few hun
bred people in theatre we become
exceedingly interested in fire escapes
and the proper method of hanging
doors on public buildings. When an
excursion steamer catches fire or is
sunk in a collision legislators begin
to draft laws relating to life preser-
vers. Now that we have an instance
in which young girl was forced TO
eat macaroni cooked in soap and be
tossed in a blanket perhaps the peo-
pie who are elected to. superintend
our public educational institutions
will take cognizance Of the pernicious
frat.
