states that the application was pre-
sented to the public service COM

The New Mercury Boiler
Big Saver of Fuel

The saving in fuel, either coal or oil,
for the mercury boiler will be, it is
claimed, from so or more percent.
Refinements and adjustments Of a
minor nature are to be made on Mr..
Emmet's boiler, after which they will
be installed at land stations and on
steamships. where the present coal
space will become available for cargo.
The boilers now in use in power
plants can be renovated to being
adapted to mercury.
Briefly explained, the new mercury
boiler, which was invented by Will
liam Leroy Emmett of the General
Electric company. plays both ends
against the middle. The fuel gases
are used for four distinct purposes
before being permitted to escape into
the smokestack, and the mercury is
used twice and not q drop of 1t ever
is lost.

ut means a real revolution in pow
err production" said Mr.. Ferguson.
AT present here in this populat ton
of $4,000 we are spending $1,500,O00
annually for coal to supply electricity
for light and power. With this new
mercury process our coal bill will be
cut in half. This is especially i'm
portant for New England, whose
manufacturers have been facing the
problem of competing with those
much nearer the coal fields.
"'The 100000 cost of this expert
nent, jointly shared by the Hartford
Electric Light Company and the
General Electric Company, is not a
philanthropy: it is self preservation.
The special plant, begun in August,
1922, on the west side Of our old
Dutch Point power station, cost APP
proximately 100000.
1.-THE mercury, most of which comes
from Spain, costs about 60 cents a
pound, and the $4,000 for mercury is
figured in the cost of erection, be-
cause none of the mercury Is ever
lost. 1t cannot escape. because of the
electrically welded joints and seams
in the boilers and feeders. The high
cost of coal and the rising cost Of
railroad transportation for both coal
and oil will be solved successfully
for New England, which has no great
water powers at hand nor neighbour
ing coal fields"

denses like water because of its dem
sity, its boiling temperature is much
higher-677 degrees Fahrenheit, as
compared with 212 for water. No

Santa Claus Greets Boys
At ROtarian Meeting

At the regular meeting Of the Ro-
tary Club Monday noon at the ELM
wood Hotel large number Of boys
were entertained by the club members.
Each member brought some boy other

luncheon a knock was heard at the
door and Santa Claus entered. He
greeted the boys and Rotarians. and
then proceeded to distribute a gift to
each boy, which he took from. the
Christmas tree in the hall.
These presents were contributed by
each Rotarian to his own guest. Rev.
G. w. Hinckley of Good Will Farm
then gave a short talk to the boys.
He impressed upon them the value and
meaning of appreciation. He declared
that to appreciate gift one must
know what it means to give and sac

Where Forgotten Ships
Find Their Last Harbor

Along goodly stretch of the west
bank Of the Hudson river, just north
OF Weehawken, N. j., is to be found
typical graveyard-the last resting
place of forgotten ships. Here,
vessels that have done good service
in their day and have fought their
way through wind and weather for
many long year, have found a last
resting place. 1t Is a weird and
miscellaneous gathering of derelicts,
veritable museum of types of all
periods and of every manner of con-
struction. If there is any future life
for these vessels, it lies in the sal
wage which is taken out of them; for
their iron is recast or reworked, to
do service in many of the different
arts; their timbers also are used for
structural purposes, some times even
to shelter man once more from the
milder mischances of wind and
weather upon the shore; while the
richest of all treasure trove Is the
copper and brass which find their
way into arts too numerous to men
ton.
Perhaps the most appealing among
these works are the fine sailing YES
sells which stand there, gaunt and
still, like old ariStocratS of a former
day, with their graceful prows lift
ing high above, the water.
Many types are included among
these old sailing ships. Among them

period when the United States stood
in the forefront of the ocean carrying
trade. For many months, one of
the most interesting of the derelicts
was the Granite State, which was
brought over here from across the
river, after being burned at her
dock, to be broken up for the copper,
brass ETC., that was in her. Sub
sequently, while being towed north
for final breaking up, the Granite
State caught fire again and went to

which made her owners wish never
to see her again. Then we notice the
