S 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.

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? iew xoru TriDune.
