Tbe storing of coal at Gibraltar is ea compelled by mane of a very. curious plant, which bas just been completea for the pumping station at Landport by a firni of Leeds contractors. In this huge rack -fortress the coal store, boiler -lame and the engine room adjoining, ei.e worked under compressed aw, and are necessarily air -tight. The store to which tho coal has to be eonveyed is hewn out of the solid rock, and is absolutely bomb proof. A special feature is the arrange- ment of the coal plant in such a way that a does not interefere with the air pressure. The coal is lifted from the coal tip 67 feet below the horizontal traveller. The skip by which tbe coal is • conveyed is raised by means of a steel wire rope, working along pulleys and round. a driving drum. The skip is low- ered in to a receiving bopperev here it discharges. At the bottom of the hopper is an automatic arraegement, consisting of a hinger 'door controlled by a lever and. a balance weight; this door opens when there is sufficient coal in the hop- per to overcome the balance, closing again as soon as the Coal is disclaimed, and thus avoiding the escape of air. From this point the coal gravies:Ione-ea the coal store, where it is used in the boiler houhe (for generating steam for pumping' purposes. The time occupied by the skip hi travelling from coal tip to coal store is two Minutes. At this end, and an a level with the motors, a sentry -box is 'hewn out of the rock, where the man wile controls the gear- ing for hoisting the skin is housed, and has practically a full view of all three operations. • Wilson's Fly Pads.

The Loudon fire department. responded to the alarm and quickly flooded the place, making mattere worse, not only for the sulestatien, but for the power station as well. To meee such emer- peeks E. Kilburn Scott says: "It looks as though special fire engines are re- quired, which would throw a jet of sand in place of water." Ho suggests that it might be advantageous to have a large tank of sand on the reef above tha switchboard, with a flexible hose, so that the sand could be instantly m•ned on to a short circuit. Another point consider- ed is the dense and suffoe ling smoke given off by many kinds of insulation when set on fire. 'This is particularly the ease with rubber, and seems as though it would be better to use only bore wire for switchboard connection, or, at least, to adopt some kind of insulation which would be less objectionable than rubber. The same point is made against the use of linoleum or rubber mats covering the floor of the switchboard gallery. If insu• •Iation a necessary the ilger should be ef glass or slate. • NINE KILLION ACRES Gevernment Lands for Homesteaders: !

A' recent issue of a monthly publica- tion entirely devoted to literature con- tains the portraits of three famous mo- thers, that is, of three women made famous by their sons. These are Mrs. Carlyle, Mrs. Hardy', and Mrs. Spencer. It is curious, says the Ladies' Pictorial, that there is almost more interest attach- ing to the mothers of mon of distinction teen to their sires, even if they have been - men of some mark. It is said that most men who achieve greatness inherit their ability from their mothers, and it is noteworthy that nearly all distinguished men have been greatly attached to their mothers. One can never forget the Poet Gray's exquisite epitaph on bis mother, or Mr. J. M. Barne's tender and beauti- ful tribute to his mother's memory. HOW'S THIS?
