Cabaret Dance at the Moana.
The dinner snd dance at the Moana
hotel last night proved a success So
cially and the cabaret singers and
dancers, Fanchon and Marco Wolff,
won immediate favor with the hundred
or more members of the smart set
present. During the dinner hour Miss
Wolff sang number of pretty songs,
bits from operas as well as r3gtime
strains and her brother Marco played
several pleasing selections on the yio-
lin Later the couple gave exhibitions
of the modern dances, which were very
pretty though more suitable for the
stage than ballroom dancing. The din
ner-guests, too, had their part in the
dancing which lasted until the early
morning hours.

The Leeds briquette works at Hun
let has recently been making expert
ments to determine the possibility of
the use of chalk briquettes for fuel,
says Power. 1t is said that the COM
pany is able to obtain its chalk in
the south of England at cost Of from
IA to % cents per ton and that it is
proposed to sell it in briquette form
at from 1915 to $5 per ton. The bri-
quettes are i've inches long. four
inches wide and two and half inches
thick. 1t is claimed that they burn
with little or no smudge. with an ex-
ceedingly small amount of ash and
that they give off from 40 to so per
cent less smoke than coal. If the
idea should prove as successful as
seems possible from the foregoing it
will be a large step toward the sOlu-
ton of the smoke problem.

Aluminium From CLAY.

Though new bauxite deposits are be-
ing found from time to time, there is
considerable interest in the prepara-
tion of pure alumina from clay or other
siicate minerals. As soon as a process
for the extraction of alumina from clay
is put on Il commercial basis large
quantities of low grade bauXite con-
taining considerable admixtures of clay
will become available as aluminium
producers. According to the United
States geological survey, there is a
large tonnage of such material associ-
ated with most of the southern Appa-
lachian bauXite

The dscomforts endured by Thack-
cray in the United States. which he
dwells upon in the letters to Mrs.

amusing incidents. After his return to

Of his American journeys "the train
stopped at Concord. Then one of the
two silent Yankees opposite me turned
to the other and remarked. MIR. Emer-

NARROW GAUGE ROADS.
An Engineering FaIlacy That Has Cost
Untold Millions.


Available Statistics show that there
are in the entire world nearly 165, 900
miles of narrow gauge railway lines.
The great bulk of this mileage must
eventually be converted to standard
gauge. as the narrow gauge railway
lines of the United States have been,
says the Engineering News The cost of
this alteration. enormous as it is. is but
a small fraction Of the financial loss
which the world has suffered through
its belief in this economic and engi-
neering fallacy. A comparison of the
freight rates per ton mile on United
States railways and on the narrow
gauge railway systems of other coun-
tries is most instructive as showing
the inefficiency of the narrow gauge
system as transportation machine.
If a fair estimate were made of the
cost to the world resulting from the
narrow gauge fallacy. the total would
probably reack several billions of dol
lars. The cost in Japan alone of
changing 5000 miles of narrow gauge
railway to standard gauge is estimated
at $150,0O0,000 In Argentina the net
earnings of the narrow gauge railways
are only about half as much on the
capital invested as the net earnings of
the standard gauge lines, and this not
withstanding the fact the the capital
ization per mile of the standard gauge
lines is much heavier.

The most effective way to annea
high speed steels so that they can bt
worked in any desired shape like sof
machine steel is as follows:
Procure a piece Of iron pipe five OF
six inches inside diameter and twelve
or fifteen inches long and place the
steel inside: then ill the remaining
space with cast iron borings. taking
care to have the steel in the center
and well surrounded with the borings.
This is placed in forge and heated
slowly until the whole is red hot; then,
while in the fire, it is covered with
ashes and fine coal and allowed to cool.

1t was not many minutes before the
Brattleboro boys had begun to show their
superiority in all departments of the
game They were especially ON the alert
for forward passes. Vermont academy
tried about l. of them during the game
and only two were successful for short
gains. Wilson nabbed a triple forward
pass and got away for an S0-yard run
that ended in a touchdown. Gallup, too,
seemed to know when forward pass was
due and where it was going, and frequent

BrattIeboro handled the ball cleanly
only two fumbles being made, and one OF
those Estey recovered and got around the
end for touchdown. Brattleboro showed
a diversified game, working the old line
