The Sanitary Department certainly have a big task before them and will have all their work cut out to carry it through suc- cessfully. One great disadvantage under which they will labour is the shortage of water.

After several unsuccessful applications to the heads of the departments, be at last wrote an explanatory letter to the chiefs of the concern, stating the efforts he had made, and complain- ing that he had been "nudged about with easy phrase, 'every place is full,!” ECONCOMY IN FUELA Berlin corres- pondent states that a most practical and import ant German invention, an apparatus for con suming smoke, is arousing much interest. A. simple contrivance applied to a furnace saves 15 per cent. of the coal and consumes all the imoke. The invention, which entails only light expense, has already been applied to several large, works in different parts of Ger- many, with the most perfect success. For tor- pedo boats the invention is most important. WHAT SIR THOMAS THINKS-Sir Thom as Lipton, when visiting Chicago, was asked to give his opinion on why the Americans had beaten the English in so many lines of man- ufacturing. He replied: "The Americans make foreign trade by selling people what. they want. Englishmen lose by forcing upon people things they want people to want. The Americans pay higher wages,, but more than' make up for it by using improved machinery. As a result they find a market in England for everything they manufacture, and easily ur- dersell us at home."
