Tiber TOWING Paths.

The navigation of the Tiber has been
one of the first considerations of
SignOr BOnOmi, minister of public
works, who has initiated a project to
re-establish the old towing paths, fol-
lowing upon the study of the question
made by Il commission nominated by
his predecessor i'm the ministry. Prior
to 1912 vessels were tOwed up the II
ber by men or oxen as far as POnte
Felice about 144 kilOmeters from the
mouth of the river, then steam tugs
were used for the purpose, running
from the sea to Orte, but the towing
path was still maintained for the un-
loading of goods along the route as
we'll as for towing. With the develop
ment of railways, however, the river
transport fell into disuse, as both the
bed of the Tiber and the towing path
were no longer kept in proper condi'
ton, but now that works have been
executed to facilitate the navigation
of the Tiber from the sea to Rome and
from Rome to Orte, 1t has become O
matter of necessity to reopen the tow
ing paths.

lithouraphy.

The first successful example of the
lithographic art was produced 12O
years ago by Alloys Senefelder, Ba-
varian, who produced piece of music
printed by this process. Senefelder
was composer, but he was too poor
to bear the cost of having his works
published. He then began to expert
ment with the hope of discovering
some cheap method by which he could
do the printing himself. The litho-
graphic process was suggested to him
by his having made for his mother a
memorandum of clothes to be sent to
the washerwoman. He carelessly wrote
this memorandum on slab of stone,
intending to copy it. AS the stone lay
before him he thought of trying the
effect of applying printers ink to the
lines and thus take an impression. The
experiment led to others, and in 1190
Senefelder produced piece of music
from lines drawn in slight relief on
a slab of stone. The inventor obtained
a patent for his process in several OF
the German states, and labOred to ex-
tend his art throughout Europe
Everywhere it met with favor. espe-
cially in France.-New York Mail.

belt three feet wide and carried to u
huge grinder which reduces it to
fine pieces. From this grinder it
Is conveyed to a pulping ma
chine, where hot water and live
steam is applied together with a GER
tain percentage of tar. which acts in
conjunction with the hot water and
steam as q thorough disinfectant Of
the product and also as deOdorizer OF
the smoke of the fuel while being con-
sumed as well as deOdOrizer of the
fuel itself. The mass is thoroughly
mixed in this machine and is reduced
to a pulp. From this machine the
mass is conveyed to mixer. where
coal dust is added in the desired pro-
portion, according to the purpose for
which the fuel is 20 be used. For
steam purposes, where rapid cOmbus-
ton is required. coal dust is unneces-
sary, although very small percentage
is sometimes used, while for domes-
tic purposes. where a slow even fire
is desired. the best results are OBJ
tanned by the addition of 30 per cent
of coal dust. From the mixer the
mass drops into a molding machine
where II Is nodded into bricks. Then
II Is conveyed through drying kiln
where the bricks are thoroughly dried.
All conveyors. elevators and machin-
cry are tightly inclosed so that there
is no escape of dust. and the only Odor
in the entire plant is the smell of
creosOte that is contained in the tar.
For this reason IT Is perfectly possible
to establish plant in the business or
residential districts of city without
being offensive. The remarkable spec
tacIe Of seeing old shoes, hats. paper.
rags. straw, manure. house garbage,
night soil and variety of other waste
products being thrown into one ma
chine and emerging from another In
the shape of a perfect fuel brick. with
out odor and bearing no resemblance
whatever to the original materials. Is
almost miraculous.
Among the advantages claimed for
the new fuel are that ii will not slack,
no matter how long II Ia kept in stOr-
age, that it is imperviOus to water,
and that II burns to ashes without
leaving a semblance of clinkers. II
also produces practically no ordor and
very little smoke when burning. There
is a very large percentage. often as
high as 25 per cent. of the ordinary

by DIR. William b. Philips, director
of the bureau of economic geology
and technology of the University OF
Texas, showed that twelve pounds
of the garbage fuel bricks will
burn on an average of two and
a half hours in small stove, as
against two hours and twenty minutes
of the same amount of lump bitumin-
GUS coal, and will produce the same
amount of heat as the latter. The
average cost of manufacturing the fuel
at the Austin plant is about $1.75 n
ton. without considering the revenue
derived by the city from the sale of by
products, such as rags, tin cans, bottles,
brass, copper. zinc, rubber. etc.
DR.. F. NJ Gum of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. who recently
delivered series of lectures on sani-
tatiOn and garbage disposal at the
University of Texas. expressed the
opinion that the process which Mr..
Culver invented is one of the most
promising schemes so far advanced for
handling city refuse; that it appeared
to him that ii was the best way of
getting rid Of waste and rubbish i'm a
sanitary manner and that the method
might work a new epoch In the garbage
and fuel problems of the country.

Fathers and grandfathers may talk

what lad of q generation ago was ever
given a transcOntinental trip as a re.
ward for excellence in agriculture? Yet
more than 80 California boys are to
be so recompensed this autumn, and
though the main purpose of the trip is
to bring them into contact with almost
every prominent type of agriculture in
the United States, it will naturally
bring them in touch with much else
worth seeing and knowing. For in
stance, while In Massachusetts,, the
boys are to visit, not only farms and
markets, but also universities and his
toric buildings. What state will first
arrange such trip for the girls who

SEPARATE RAYS OF SUNLIGHT
Just How II May Be Broken Up 70
the Human Eye, In a Variety
of Ways.

Sunlight, which we call white, Is
composed of light rays of different col
ors-red, orange. yellow, green, blue.
indigo and violet. 1t can be broken up
into Its constituent cOlors in various
ways. If it passed through trans
parent prism Qike the crystals that
hang from a chandelier), or If 1t falls
bly, minute Irregularities (like mother
Of pearl or the wing of butterfly,
we see the rays into which sunlight
has been separated. These phenOme-
na are observed when light is not abb
sorbed, says Popular Science Monthly.
Hold a piece of red glass in front of
flame and we see only red. Rays Of
all other cOlOrs have been absorbed.
The natural colors of the objects we
see about us, leaves, flowers, books and
chairs, depend upon absorption. A
green leaf throws back chiefly green
rays; the rest are absorbed. So, the
natural color of everything in nature
is the unabsorbed residue from full
white light. There is no such thing
as color by itself. -.f
A swarm of minute particles, scat
tered in the path of white light, will
break it up, like the surface of moth
er of pearl. If the particles happen to
be of just the right size and the spaces
between them just the right distance,
they will absorb rays of one color only
and throw Off the rest. The atmo-
sphere is filed with countless dust
particles, and their size and spacing
is such that they scatter rays which
we call sky blue. Nearer the hori-
Xon, larger particles turn the blue into
white; this happens above dusty
town and when mists or clouds hang
above us. All that is left of white
sunlight, after passing through many
miles of blue scattering air, appears
in the hues of sunset. The size and
spacing of dust particles as well as the
angle at which sunlight strikes them
determines the color of the sky.

GIVES SSA1ISFACTORYREsUlTs
After Few Days Treatment the Wound
Begins to Heal, Suppuration Dis

and Fever Ceases.

Headquarters of the Italian Army in
the Field.-Surgec, Major Professor
Ingianni of the Italian medical corps.
in charge of a field hospital. has ap-
piled on large scale a special treat
ment for lOckjaw which is giving most
satisfactory results.
The antitsxin treatment Of lockjaw
is extensively used in the Italian army

cases of tetanus have been greatly
diminished.
Naturally in field hospitals local con-
ditions are such that it is impossible.
to resort to prolonged antiseptic bath
ing of the wounded or infected part,
and the most effective remedy consist
ed In amputation. But even early am
putation often proved of no avail when
the germs in the wound already had
set free lethal dose of their toxin.
Besides, even when amputation saved
a mans life it left him cripple.
Doctors Amputate Too Freely.
Often for fear of infection surgeons
in the field resort freely to amputation
knowing full well that it would be Inn
possible for them to keep the wound
clean until it is completely healed.
Professor Ingianni instead Is con-
vinced that amputation should only be
resorted to in extreme cases, as a doc
tors first duty is to cure, not to cripple
u man. Prolonged warm bath Of the
wound is an almost infallible remedy
against lOckjaw, and nothing prevents
its being administered even In, the field
under ordinary conditions. The profess
sOr has invented a. special portable
bath which can be folded, as tits made
Of rubber and shaped In such a way
that any limb can be immersed in IL
The bath is then tied to the patient by
means of bandages and placed In any
position. either horizontal or vertical.
Antiseptie Solution 10 Used.
A warm antisepic solution can be
easily kept in II at the same tempera-
ture for five-or six hours. As q rule
q 3 per cent solution of hypochlorite is
used or else corrosive sublimate In the
proportion of one-half per 1000. Bat
permapganate of potassium. iodine or
lead water also can be used to advan-
tage. 1t has been found better to al
ternate the employment Of these an
tiseptics.
The results of this treatment are
wonderful. After a few days the
wound beigns to heal, suppuration dis
appears. swelling subsidies and fever
ceases. Recovery follows as matter
of course even In cases where am
putation was considered the only REM
edy. The danger Of lOckjaw Is en-
tirely Obviated.

PLANT THAT MAKES TCE"
Habits Of the Frost Weed Have Long
Proved q Puzzle to Bot
anists.

Late in autumn, after producing two
sets of blooms, the frost weed becomes
a miniature ice factory and forms
crystals of "ice" about the cracked
bark of the root. On each little brok-
EN- rOotlet there appear cakes of 'fce,"
exactly right in size for the refriger-
atOr of a fairy queen. AS yet no bot
anist has been able to discover the
secret of the plants ice-making.
The ice appears often long before
ice Is formed on the ponds, and can
be found by digging up the deeply set
rOotlets.
Two blooming seasons is another
popularity of the plant. Early in
June 1t sends out a wealth of golden
yellow blossoms, having five petals
each and set at intervals upon the
thickly leaved stem.
Then late In August the plant flow
ers again, producing blooms identical
with those of the earlier season.
