MERCURY VAPOR AS
 NEW POWER PLANT
General Electric Co. Periects
 New Boiler
By The Associated Press.

by The Associated Press.
 Schenectady, Dec. 5.--Power from mercury vapor, making possible a double vapor power plant in which turbines for generating electricity are driven both by mercury vapor and water Napor from the same fuel source, resulting in gain of about 30 per cent in power per pound of fuel, IS the outstanding achievement of new boiler perfected by the Gen. era1 Electric company.
 The last great step in improving the efficiency of manufacturing pow CT was the replacement of the recip- rocating engine by the steam turbine. The invention of the mercury sapor boiler is regarded as greater step in the progress of science.
 The modern steam turbine is about 70 per cent more efficient than the best reciprocating engines but &C., cording to W. l.. R. Emmet, consult Ing engineer for the General Electric company and inventor of the new process, the mercury boiler is more than 50 per cent more efficient than the best steam turbine. The mercury boiler is still considered an experi- ment, but like all great steps in ad- vance, time will be required to devel- op and perfect a system befor this process can be expected to reflect on the operating costs of public utilities
 Sees Great Possibilities.
 MT. Emmet estimates that if the mercury boiler comes up to all e3- pectations, 1t will produce with S5 pound gauge pressure, when com- pared with a steam turbine general ing plant which uses 200 pounds steam pressure, about 52 per cent more output in electricity per pound Of fuel And if.'' MT. Enmet adds, ''in such plant the boiler room is 'reequipped with furnaces and mer- cury apparatus arranged to burn IS per cent more fuel, the station capa- city with the same steam turbines, condensers auYiliaries. water circu- 'ation, etc, would be increased about so per cent.
 The mercury ganor process involves the raporlzation Of mercury in a boil CT, driving of turbine by the mer- cur. vapor and inc condensation Of ny zrNhausi III ConntHsef where us latest heat Is delivered to water and thus used to generate steam at pres- sure suitable for use in existing steam plants.
 Naturally Mr, E.mmet explained. the question which will arise in con- nection with this mercury process is the dangers from mercurial poisoning, either to the community or 10 the at. iendants. In tho first place. all points are welded. so that il is impossible for mercury to escape through accident, and arrangements arc such that leak ago If 1t should occur win go into the stack where il can do no harm"

FOR AND AGAINST
 THE WORLD COURT
Stanley Memorial Petition Draws Tie With Coolidge Not Voting

i Senator Brandegee is opposed to the United States entering the pro- posed world court, Senator Mclean is l in favor of it and President Coolidge 1 is non-committal. according to letters received by Rev. k. N. Gilman of the i Stanley Memorial church. Some time ago members of the con gregation circulated a petition and ob- l tained a long list of signatures adyo- eating the entrance of the United States into the world court. 1 The petitions were sent to the two Connecticut senators and to the White House. The replies, which follow, are in all cases characteristic: The letter from the White House says; "rhe receipt is acknowledged, by reference from the White House, of your communication in which you advocate the adherence of the govern ment of the United States to the per manent court of international justice" | The letter is signed by N. R. Castle, 1 IT,, chief of the division of western European affairs.
 From Senator Mclean, reads as fol- lows:
 "I have yours Of recent date, be- ing petition signed by you and other members Of tho Stanley Memorial Congregational church Of New Bri- tain, Connecticut, urging support which l shall present to the senate at an early date. Will say in reply that I voted for the League Of Nations with the Lodge reservations and am heart fly in favor of an international court to which nations may submit their disputes If they so desire"
 GEORGE r. MCLEAN.
 From Senator Brandegee comes T letter, somewhat briefer and quite to the point
 "A petition signed by members Of your congregation concerning the so- called World Court is at hand. In my opinion this court is too closely con nected with the League Of Nations and I do not think the United States should have anything to do with ii. not until those connections are com pletely severed"
