Made of wire that is
11 life and strength wire
that stretches true and tight
and yields just enough under impact
to give back every jolt and jam it
receives.
Made of materials selected and tested
in all the stages from our own mines,
through our own blast furnaces and rolling
and wire mills, to the finished product. Our
employment of specially adapted metals is
of great importance in fence wire: a wire
that must be hard yet not brittle; stiff and springy yet
flexible enough for splicing best and most durable
fence material on earth.
To obtain thcso and in addition apply a quality of gal
vonizincr that will effectually protect acrainst weather
conditions, is a triumph of tno wlrcraakor's art..
Thcso are combined in the American and EUwood
lenccs tho product ot the greatest mines, steel
producing plants and wire mills in the world.
Ana witn thcso goou taciuties and tno old
and skilled employes baclc of them, wo
maintain tno Mgiicst standard of ex-
cellenco posslblo for human skill
and ingenuity to produce.

THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE
To the oft presented question of
where industry will get power when
tho coal and oil are gono a novel,
if not quite satisfactory answer is
offered by Mr. Edward C Warren in
"Tho Engineering Magazine" for No
vember. Among the cliomical ele
ments which develop heat by com
bustion is hydrogen, and in that gas
Mr. Warren thinks an ideal fuel can
be found. It develops four times
as much heat as the best coal, and
burns so thoroughly that no soot is
deposited. Besides, tho supply is
practically inexhaustible, as hydro
gen is one of the constituents of wa
ter, and the gas can be recovered
and used again promptly. The pro
duct of combustion in this case is
aqueous vapor, which can be con
densed as exhaust steam is and then
immediately subjected to the proper
treatment for divorce. The process
by which carbon, onco burned, is
again made available takes years.
These statements will hardly be
disputed by either the chemist or the
engineer, but they do not full., meet
the requirements of the fuel prob
lem. The task of dissociating hydro
gen irom oxygen cans ror me ex
penditure of other materials or of
mechanical power. By the methods
now in vogue the operation is an ex
pensive one. If the cost of produc
ing hydrogen were ten or twenty or
thirty times that of coal, would its
adoption be economical? Is there
any reason to believe that the pro
cess would be any cheaper the second
or third time than the first? Ex
cept for the convenience of limiting
the space demanded for storage,
would there be any advantage in
using the. gas more than once? Is
there any resemblance between Mr.
Warren's proposition and the hope,
once expressed by the late Mr. Trip
ler, that with one horsepower, gen
erated by steam, he could produce
enough liquid air to develop ten
horsepower? Perhaps at some fu
ture time further light will be
thrown on these phases of the sub
ject either by Mr. Warren or his
critics. In the mean time it is per
missible to remark that if, as he as
serts, "power is free," there is a
wonderful difference in the cost of
harnessing it.
In the course of his discussion nf
fuels Mr. Warren alludes to the kinds
at present utilized as having been
"thrust upon us by those who had
them to sell." That utterance is
hardly such as to commend to favor
his plan for a .substitute. Consum
ers of coal and oil have used those
articles because nothing better was
to be had. Though they may have
been dissatisfied at times with the
price; as buyers often are, they have
had reason to be - thankful that fuel
of some sort could be hai. They
wore under no compulsion t pur
chase. Will dealers in hydrogen be
dominated by purely altruistic senti
ments and put it on the market at
less than the cost of production?

son, given to Catholics by the fa
mous Dominican, Lacordaire. The
great preacher said:
"Yes, Catholics understand this
well; if you want liberty for your
selves you must desire Jt for all men
in all lands. If you ask it for your
selves alone, you will never be given
it; give liberty wherever you are
masters, and it will be given to you
wherever you are slaves."
