commercial sizes of anthracite coal
are prepared.
This project of electric energy sup
ply from waste fuel has been car
red out intelligently and on a scale
large enough to reap the substantial
advantages of the plan. The plant is
located in the anthracite territory
of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company, to which the Lehigh Ndvi-
cation Electric Company is allied,
and is skiifully laid out for the pro-
ductiOn OF energy at low cost The
essential features of the installation
are the means provided for handling
the waste coal with the utmost econ
omy.
The fuel is conveyed to the fur
naces in the simplest possible man
ner, for a trestle carries a track of
standard gauge equipment directly
over the bunkers in the upper part
OF the boiler house, so that the fuel
can be run in on cars and dumped
directly into the bunkers, whence
il is fed by gravity to the fire room.
There is no need for any consdera-
BILE coal storage, inasmuch as the
mine is very near and can be reached
at any time. Every ton of coal
burned in this plant represents a
genuine saving a reduction in the
drain on the worlds supply of coal
to say nothing of abolition of an
economic waste in carrying fuel when
! such transportation is really unnec'
! Cssary
When one realizes that New York
/ city is less than one hundred miles
from this plant, and Philadelphia
( considerably nearer, the possibilitie;
of disposing of the output are obvi-
= Gus. The Hauto plant represents q
serious and well-planned effort to re-
! alize a dream of conservation which
has troubled the sleep of engineers
! for at least twenty years past.

Diamonds in a Factory

The purchase of a diamond is
nothing but a gamble. baymen can
not tell by the eye whether stone is
good or bad. and in actual service
i'm the shop a diamond costing $25 may
last twenty five hours, while a
cheaper bdortz stone may be in use
for several years. The cost of upkeep
for diamonds in the factory is an I'M
portant item appreciated by rev.
This expense in a large plant doing
considerable grinding from the rough
will average as high as 50 per month
for each grinding machine operator,
saws the American Machinist
The length of a diamond even in
the hands of first class operators, is
so uncertain that some users of any
considerable number of these tools
have forsWorn their use and have re-
sorted to the cheaper bortz stone. In
the bortz stone it is true that the UNI
certainty is just as great only the loss
entailed In a poor stone is less. AS
rule factories that do great deal or
commercial grinding use stones that
cost from IS to SIS. To tell by the eye
which is the SIS stone and which the
S25 one is, / think, beyond us laymen,
and we are the ones who should know.
To tell by daily grinding test which
| is the cheaper stone and which is the
more expensive one, | know TO be be-
yond the ability of any skilled opera
| tor with whom ! have come in con-
tact.
To my knowledge there are no re-
cording official data on truing stones
for grinding wheels within reach of
the ordinary user. Each man is an
authority unto himself as to his likes
and dislikes for certain stones. Some
men prefer the white diamond, others
like the yellow diamond; many use
the black diamond entirely, While
more still have no use for any, but
resort to the bortz stone. Truth, now
ever, compels me to say that all are
unanimous on the fact that all are
costly and highly unsatisfactory.

OUR GREAT WATER FRONT OPPORTUNITIES

1t was we'll said at the dinner of the Chamber of
Commerce by Robert z. Ireton of the Bush Terminal
that the situation in New York harbor with the steam
ships mostly on one side of the harbor and the rail-
roads on the other, is a violation of established
economic principle. The railroad and the steamer
should meet.
And this is New jerseys great advantage. 1t has
the railroads 1t has broad river and bay to cross
II has terminals and plenty of undeveloped land for
terminals 1t has abundance of sites for large in
dustries that want land and ocean freights In New
Jersey as Mr.. Ireton says, the ships be brought
alongside the railroads for direct loading.
But Mr.. Ireton says only what every intelligent
man has known. He only emphasizes an apparent
fact Newark conscious of it when the city voted
for meadow and harbor Improvement. Our bay is an
arm of New York harbor and part of it. We have
miles of undeveloped shore front and can increase
the frontage if necessary with ship canal across
the meadows.
We have about four thousand acres of meadow
accessible to both the steamer and the railroad and
most inviting hundreds of industrial plants in New
York. We have everything needed to make Newark

Fly Without Brains

A striking feature of the meeting
of the German Scientific Society for
Aeronautics and Aviation, at Dres-
den, was lecture by Professor Con-
helm, of Hamburg. Professor Con-
helm gave demonstration with liv-
ing doves and seagufls from which
the cerebrum magnum had been ex-
tracted, and showed that balance
with these birds was simply me-
chanical. Having been deprived of
their brain the birds could exert no
will power and maintained their
balance simply by the refiuX move

Professor Conheim argued from this
analogy that it might be possible in

From the New York Evening sun.
The bill introduced in Congress by
Representative Britten, of Illinois, to
create the grade of brigadier- general
in the marine corps and to provide
for the appointment of two officers
of this rank should meet small OPP
position. The marine corps has al
ways been a credit to American arms
and has made a record for itself far
out of proportion to it's numerical
strength, so that the Importance of
/ its service, if no other reason, war
rants this recognition.
| But as a matter of fact there are
/ on the Mexican shore today three
! regiments of marines, composed of

which can be augmented from the
ships at Vera Cruz by thirty-five
more officers and LA enlisted men,
making a combined force of 1913 off,
GERS and 4,45l enlisted men-prac tical-
/ ~ four full regiments-all under the
command of colonel of marines,
This, as Mr.. Britten says, sis entire

Four marine regiments would then
be serving with the army; but GER
I tainly no other four regiments of the
land forces would be left to the COM
mand of a colonel unless they were
brigaded and he were made an acting
general. On the battleships
of the Pacific coast there is the
nucleus of another brigade in thirty
two marine officers and 1,2S4 enlisted
men, which when properly augmented
would make up two regiments. Mr..
Britten proposes the appointment of
one brigadier- general for each fleet.
