Bio SAVING IN Heating Power

With a first cost for heating plant
of about $4,000, the Husquarna fac
tories in Sweden have been making an
annual saving Of 400 tons Of coke for
several years by utilizing surplus pow
er. A hydraulic station supplied cleo
tric power, and. as water-storage ia
cilities are lacking, the electric gener-
ators continue to run at night, the
current produced being turned into ac-
count for heating the 44.000 gallons OF
water in a large subterranean tank.
During the daytime tie hot water Is
circulated In the heating system Of the
establishment. The shops thus get sur
fcient heat for their 12-hour day ex-
cept during the very coolest weather,
and then the original coal-6ring plant

Measuring Earth,s Circumference.

Erastothenes, who lived between 275
and 1876 B. c., probably was the first
to measure the earth's circumference
and adopted the same method that is
employed at present. He found that
the distance between Syene and Alex
andria was one-hftieth of a great cir
cle-about seven degrees Ii minutes
and on this basis computed the circum-
ference of the earth to be 100000
stadia. The exact length Of the sta
dunn he used is not known and It Il
not possible to compute the degree

Learning About Nitrogen.


Recent experiments with the 'alpha"
ray have led to the discovery, says the
English Mechanic and World OF Sci
ence. that nitrogen, which for a GEN.
tury and a half has been regarded
as an element, may not be an element
at all, but compound Of hydrogen and
helium. It Is an interesting coinci-
dence that Doctor Dalton, according
to the now accepted account. was led
to his theory Of the atomic structure
Of matter by study Of the physical
properties Of the atmosphere. Sir
Ernest Rutherford, by experiments on
the same gases, now sees in each Of
Dalton's atoms Of nitrogen an atomic
system In which two distinct elements
play part, and nitrogen itself ap-
parently Is to disappear as an element
