TRACKLESS-TROLLEY ECONOMY.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 121, 1914
As an extension of street railway systems, the railless electric omnibus has given good results in Europe, and scoms In an to be rapidly gaining favour. address the other day to British engineers, T. G. Gribble stated that no more current is required to carry the passenger by railless electric traction than by a tram- way. With a traffic requiring a 2-minute service, the economy in favour of railless electric traction was estimated to be about 44 per cent. in construction, and about 7 per cent. in cost of operation. smaller traffic the economy increases, a 30-minute service showing a saving of about 70 per cent. in operating, cost,"

MIRRORS BY ELECTRIC "DEPOSITION. Metal-backed glass mirrors are said to be produced in a hydrogen atmosphere by a new process in half a minute. The sheet of metal used is laid on the glass plate, and the plate and its covering are then placed in the receiver of an air-pump. The air being, withdrawn, a current of hydrogen is passed into the receiver simultaneously with an electric discharge, the result being the disintegration of the metal and its deposition as a thin film on the glass plate. Backings of gold, platinum, silver, coppor, nickel, palla- dium, iridium or iron may be attached in this novel manner. ng

Never get into It is easier to provent than cure. Leave nothing to chance. the dangerous way of thinking that stomach troubles will right themselves a habit that will lead to untold misery. Therefore act promptly, new, and take Mather Seigel's Syrup daily, after your meals. It is a lierbal remedy, made froni more than ten varieties of roots, barks, and leaves. You will find, as have tens of thousands before you, that it has a most heneficial effect upon the stomach, liver, and bowels: 40 years of world-wide successes have proved it. THE WORLD'S REMEDY FOR
