The cfllclenr-y of an Alcohol engine may bo assumed at this tlmo to be unknown, hut as alcohol can be burn d In engines doslgned for gasoline, K may be assumed that such an en Cine will have with alcohol fuel the same thermal efficiency as with go ollne. The first serious attempt to exam Ine into tho possibility of alcohol at a fuel In competition with petroleum seems to have been made In 1894 !n I,lp1fc, Germany, by Professor Hart man. Tho engine used was built to operate on kerosene, and need 4 26 grams of kerosene per hour per bra lea horsepower, which Is equivalent to 0.935 pounds, or 1.1 pints, approi lmately. This indicates for kerosen a thermal efficiency of 13.6 per cent When operating on alcohol the en gine used about twice as much, or 839 (trains, which with this kind ol alcohol was equivalent to a thermal efficiency of 12.2 per cent., or a little? less than with kerosene. The oxper! meut would seem to Indicate thai, compared with keroseno, alcohol, ks a fuel, offered very little chance for successful competition. In spite of this, investigations were continued and tho results of this developnim may be summed tip by stating that the thermal eJcler.cy has been raised to something over thirty per cent. quite a remarkable showing, In com parison with tho original figure. T!i!; lndlcatcs that with a motor specially conrtnirted for alcohol, tho price p.-t gallon mlt;ht be twice as much as fo: the L.tter as for petroleum, and stir produco power for less money, as suming all other conditions, such as cost of attendance, lubrication, etc bollix tho name. Tho Offlco of Experiment Stations! of this Department, in connection with Its Irrigation and Drainage In ventilations, has tested a number of different types of gasoline engines with alcohol and obtained figures which show the comparative con sumption of gasoline and alcohol In the same engine. The first tests were made without any particular at tempt at obtaining the best adjust ment of the engine for each fuel, and rhowed a consumption of jilcohol two er three tlnies as great by weight per norsepower hour as was necessary with gasoline or kerosene. These figures indicate the necessity or de srabillty of determining the proper condltons of adjustment, because these were found to have a serous In fluence on the amount of fuel con sumed. With care In adjusting the tngine so as to secure tbo most eco nomical ubo of the alcohol, It was found that, under like conditions, a FIO. 1, SPECIAL VAPORIZER, mall engine consumed 1.23 pounds O' alcohol to 0.69 pound of gasoline per brake horsepower hour that Is. lth the best adjustment of the en gine for each fuel there was required 1.8 times as much alcohol by weight as prasoline per brake boraepower hour.

The range of excess gasoline which might be burned without Inter fering serlonsJy with the working of the engine was not so great, being n little less than twloe as much as the minimum. There la on the American market a claea of engines having a vaporiser which forms part of the cylinder head and -.rhich Is heated by the explosions taking place inside the exploding chamber. One of these Is shown In Fig. 1. On the figure, A is the vap orizer proper. Under It is seen a lamp (B), the burner an dvaporlzer being surrounded by a casing (D). This vaporizer la f3olteJ to the cylin der heed (E), and contains on its in ner head a Hp projecting into the ex ploding chamber. A little pump In jects a small stream of oil at every stroke and drops it on this lip from th0 pipe (F). This Hp is very hot from previous explosions and from the lamp, which la turned oft when the engine begins work. The com pression stroke forces the air In tho cylinder over tho lip and through tht neck Into the vaporizer bulb, thu8 mixing moro or less completely the vapor which forms on the Hp with tho air that Is forced over the lip ln'.o the bulb. Such hot-bulb vaporizers a-, this will work with practically all of tho fuels crud'i oils, gasoline, kerosene, and alcohol with proper adjustments of tho pump and of the temperature of the receiving bulb. Another vaporizer of a similar or der, but designed especially for alco hol, illustrated In Fig 2. is known as the Drouhct, a French type. Ex haust gas enters at the bottom as shown by tho arrow and lettering on the cut, and rises through the Iron chamber, which Is corrugated to In crease the surface.

The law wns discov ered by BnlTon, domon.strated by VI chat and mcde an exact science by Flourans. Whllo tho law has been frequently assailed If has never been overthrown, nor disturbed In It; force. Animals Increase In tho di rection of growth, bulk and virility: the duration of the tlmo of growth determines the duration of life. Tho law may be briefly stated thus: An animal grows aa long as the bones pro not unlteu In their epiphysis. Tho duration of Ufa Is five times that of this growth. Iu nan this growth cuds at twenty; tho bones are then united with their epiphysis, nnd the lormal duration of life "would bo five times this, or ore hundred. Tho growth of the camel ends at eight; according to the duration of life It should be forty. Tho growth of the horse ends at five, and his round of life should be twenty-five. The epi physis of the bones of the ox ends at four; his round of life should bo twenty. Tho Hon, singularly enough, has the same duration of growth, and the same normal life as the ox. Tho dog reaches the end of growth fet two and the round of life Is ten; so that It is seen that the human life unless cut short by accident or dia ee, ends Its round at from ninety to one hundred years; and that, whether a man be a negro, a Chi nese, a European, an American, or whether ho be savage or civilized; Lether he be a dweller of the city, cr In the country; that the veritable round does not depend upon race, climate, food, or other conditions. Mr. Flourans, who Is perhaps tho highest authority and who haa stud ied tt more In scientific details. Is of the opinion "that very man has the powe. to fill this round. If he docs not violate the natural law." Vlchat makes the round of life six times that of growth, Instead of five times, which would make tho round of lire In man one hundred and twenty years. Other writers are of the opinion that the round should be extended to one hundred and fifty years, notably Dr. Compton, who go ing o,rer simitar ground, claims that this age has been occasionally reach ed In human life in various countries during the last two centuries.

Ir. Rothschild clalma that bis tel ephone method of transmission l much simpler than tho negative post ing mothod employed by Dr. Korn. It is founded upon the well known truth that when selenium la struck by light Ita electoral resistance changes In relation to the amount of Hjrht which shines upon It. The Instruments employed In the sending and receipt of the electrical Influence are of wonderfully slniplo workmanship. The transmitting consists of a selenium coated coll, upon which any Imago may bo fo2iisaod by a camera Irr.s through a transverse slot in a travelling steel belt. The belt moves perpendicularly across the face of tho cell, which Is made up of alternate copper and mica plates, in sulated from each other, but con nected along thi edges at one side by a selenium coating. The Inten sity of the light reflected upon the cell will vary as the slot, travelling across the cell, expoees the coating to the lights nnd shades of the Im age. The mala, cell Is controlled by what Is called a light control selenium cell, moving in proportion so much faster than the main coll that every point on the surface of the main cell Is covered. The controlling cell tnus trans.'orms every point of light into an electrical Impulse and sends It by wire to a distant recoivlng sta tion. I At the receiving itation Is a belt. that a pulley with horliontal alots passing it causes points of light to appear as one siot meets another. The light oomes from a vacuum tube with in Uta belt, ana It varies la accord Ul the intensity of the electrical current from the sending station.

A radium clock, which will keep time Indefinitely, has been constructed by Harrison Martlndalo of England. The principle of this apparatus is almplictty itself, the registration ot time being tnado In two-minute beats, while Weaver, the operator at tn' louisrllle Its function is to exhibit tho dissipation of negatively-charged al pha wi beta rays by radium. I The clock comprises a small tube, i In which Is placed a minute q-.iaii.ily of radium supported by a quartz rod. To the lower end of tho tube, which Is colored violet by tho action of the radium, an electroscope formed of two long loaves or strips of silver la attached. A chargo of electricity In which there are no beta rays i.i transmitted through the activity of the radium In to the leaves, and tho latter thereby expand until they touch tho Hides or tho vessel, connected to earth by wires, which inatp.ntlv conduct tin ' electric charge, and tho leaves fail together. This simple operation In repented In cessantly every two minutes until tins radium Is exhausted, which In this instance it is computed will occu;; 80,000 years. Scientific American. Trees Growing In Churches. The parish church of Rosa. Hcr--tordshlre, possesses some slns'iUr ecclesiastical "ornaments" in two line elm trees flourishing one on eucii tide of the pew where once sat tho famous "Man of Ross," John Kytla. iTliey are fable,! locally to have kprung up as a token of Divine wrath against a profane rector of Ross who had cut down some trees which Kyrl had planted in the churchyard. Trees in or on churches are no, uncommon. At Kempsey, in the ad joining county of Worcester, a large horse chestnut tree has grown In the chancel from the tomb of Sir El hiund Wylde, who dloja about 1623. On tbe tower of Fish to ft Church near Boston grows a lasty beech, and a similar tree may be Been on the tower of Culruatock In Devonshire. Apart from Intrinsic beauty the par ish church of Crick, In Nortnampton Bhlre, la or waa recently remarkaole for two trees growing out of the tnasonry about fifty feet from the ground.

To-day we have any nnmbar of merchant princes, avao kings and If 8tewart were alive be would find vary lively competl. tlon. But be had some rules that might be copied by the merchants who have in soma directions fol lowed him. One ot hi rules was this: "Mvr praise an article; ask the customer what la dealred and If you have It offer It without comment; name the price; if the customer la not pleased allow htm or her to do part and make no comment; tha ar ticle must stand on its own merits. It Is the customer's privilege to buy or to decline to buy." na is a numan Crazy Quilt. S. H. Tweodell, a young man of North port.
