Combaktio.1 Without Flame.
American Architect
A new theory of combustion was
nrxCUCauy inusiianuujiui. mum." .
at a soiree of the Society of Chemical
- "
' Industry, at Owens college, the re
sult being so totally unexpected that
many present would, and in fact did,
ro away with the impression that
some deception was being practiced.
Ir. Jacoh Reese, the inventor of the
Reese fusing disc, has stated his be
lief that if it were possible to pro
duce combustion without flame the
temperature and duty obtained from
any fuel would be enormously in
creased. Mr. Fletcher not only has
proved the possibility of flameless
combustion in more than one form,
but also has demonstrated practically
the enormously hish temperatures
which can be obtained by this
means.
Taking a ball of iron wire about
three pounds in weight, Mr.Fletcher
placed it on a slab of fire clay, and
directing a blow-pipe flame on it for
a few seconds, he suddenly blew the
flame out. 1 he temperature in
creased so rapidly that in a few
seconds the wrought iron fused and
ran into drops, and this temperature
was steadily maintained. The room
was darkened, but the closest exami
nation did not show a trace of flame,
although the fact that the gas was
burning was repeatedly proved by
relighting and extinguishing it. The
lame experiment was repeated in
another form by directing thelame
Iess heat into a small fire-clay cham
ber, in which a refactory clay cruci
ble, made especially for nickel melt
ing, was partially fused and worked
into a ball like soft putty, the sides
of the fire-clay chamber being the
same fused. The heat was so great
that the blow-pipe laboratory, which
was given up to Mr. Fletcher for the
evening, was much too hot to be
agreeable, in spite of open windows
and ventilators. How lar this dis
covery can be utilized remains to be
seen, but it would appear that the
presence ot flame, usually considered
to be a sign of combustion, is really
in indication of imperfect results,
and the best duty is to be obtained
only when flame is totally absent.
t is certain that such temperatures
as those obtained by Mr. Fletcher
without flame have never previously
been obtained with the fuel used,
which was nothing more than a
small gas supply for a quarter-inch
pipe, assisted by an air-blast.

ber has been piled on tlx- ground for
the erection of buildings for the new
city. It is located in the region
called by the old French settlers
"Uonnc Terre," or good ground.
It is in the bend of Big river, a branch
of the Meremec, whicb empties into
the latter stream near Eureka. It
was in the region, mentioned by M.
Le Page Du Pratz, who resided in
the country sixteen years, from 1720,
where the French found those mines
that gave rise to Law's Mis.ippi
scheme. On the east side, previous
to 1742, the French had settlements
at Kaskaskia, Fort Charters, Tama
ras, while on the west side of the
Mississippi they opened mines on
the "Marameg." r On Du Pratz's
map, the river "Marameg" is given,
while the Wabash is given as the
wildest stream entering the Missis
sippi, while the Ohio is a branch of
the Wabash.
The bt. Joe Lead Mines employ
several hundred miners, at a depth
of from 150 to 200 feet beneath the
surface. The" mules that go down
there remain during their lives. These
mines turn out one hundred "-pigs"
of lead per hour. T'ie Desloge
mines, near by, produce one-third
less than the St. Joe mines. '1 he
country is getting denuded of its
timber, as great quantities are con
sumed at the lead works for fuel.
The bt. Joe mines have now 32,000
cords of wood piled up for use. There
is a narrow gauge railroad to the
mines, and people who have not been
there have no idea of the enterprise
and activity going on at these mines.
Was the Grant administration, at
its worse, a more complete political
machine than this one of Arthur's?
Most of the cabinet officers are in
activ o charge of the campaign and
bending every power of the govern
ment to subserve their personal or
party needs. Two officials. Chand
ler and Brewster, are as activelv at
work in political manipulatioi. as if
they were the formal managers ot
the party organization. This is the
materialization of Stalwart Republi
canism and mi illustration of what
the leaders of that wing ot the party
mean by banishing squeamish senti
mentalism from office.

Are never imitated or counterfeited. This
is especially true of a family medicine;
and it is positive proof that the remedy
imitated is of the highest value. As soon
86 it had been tested and proved by the
whole world that Hop Bitters was the
purest, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many imitations
sprung up and began to steal the notices
in which the press and people of the
country had expressed the merits of H.
B., and in every way trying to induce
, suffering invalids to use their stuff In
stead, expecting to make money on the
credit and good name of II. B. Many
others started nost urns put up in similar
kUletoII. B., with variously devised
names in which the word "Hop" or
"Hops" were used in a way to induce
people to believe they were the same as
Hop Bitters. All such pretended reme
dies or cures, no matter what their style
or name is, and especially those with the
name "Hop" or "Hops" in their name
or in any way connected with them or
their name, are in.itations or counter-
teits. Beware of them. Touch none of
them. Use nothing but . genuine Hop
Bit' ers, with a bunch or cluster oi green
Hops on the white label. Trust nothing
ele. Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in imitations or counter
feits. Sept. r, im
