In central Tuscanny is a large elec tric powerhouse that obtains its initial driving power from volcanic heat. In |E the neighborhood are many cracks in the ground, from which powerful jets | of very hot steam spout high into the air, Early experiments in using the & steam for driving engines failed com- | & mercially, for the borax salts, sul- phurated hydrogen and sulphuric acid | in the steam, on account of the corro- sive action, made necessary frequent repairs. The difficulty has been over- come by applying the steam, not di- rectly, but to a bojler in place of fuel. No applied it prodnces steam in the boiler at a pressure of two at- mospheres, which is then passed through a superheater and on to the steam turbine used for driving elec- tric generators, Prince Ginori-Conti, who financed § the undertaking, has made three large ¥ installations on that system. One of § $,000-kilowatt units has. been at work since January, 191G; the second since April of that year, and the third start- ed not long ago. So far these groups J have worked very well and have heen a it boon to the industries of Tus- g which have been under a vantage owing to the city and high price of coal. Since the voleanie region, extends for many square miles around . Darderello ihere | & is nothing to prevent -the installa- tions from being inereased until they produce thousands of horsepower.

The Bay of St. George marks the northern limit of deep water in the | Gulf of California, and when its new harbor is connected by a short spur of track with the railroad already in existence, there will be an all-water | outlet through the Panama canai to eastern United States for the mines of na.

Spread of Dental Clinics, According to returns received in re ply to a questionnaire recently sent |8 out by the United States bureau of # education, 286 cities in the TUnited States have established dental clinies in connection with their public school systems. These clinics receive sup- port in 181 instances from the city boards of eduaction; in 33 from the & city health departments; in 22 from liealth departnents and boards of ed- ucation jointly, and in 50 from the Red Cross or private donations. ! setts outranks all other [ with fespect to number of cities ning. dentuf clinies, Jaying: 5 then , New , Ohio a and each; California, 115 , and the remaining ‘to 8 each. states from .7 ‘Waterfowl Peculiar.
