In addition to combination with electric-lighting works, refuse
destructors are now very commonly installed in conjunction with
various other classes of power-using undertakings, including tramways,
water-works, sewage-pumping, artificial slab-making and
clinker-crushing works and others; and the increasingly large sums
which are being yearly expended in combined undertakings of this
character is perhaps the strongest evidence of the practical value of
such combinations where these several classes of work must be carried
on.

For further information on the subject, reference should be made to
William H. Maxwell, _Removal and Disposal of Town Refuse, with an
exhaustive treatment of Refuse Destructor Plants_ (London, 1899), with
a special _Supplement_ embodying later results (London, 1905).

poet, eldest son of George Fleming Leicester (afterwards Warren), 2nd
Baron De Tabley, was born on the 26th of April 1835. He was educated at
Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, where he took his degree in 1856 with
second classes in classics and in law and modern history. In the autumn
of 1858 he went to Turkey as unpaid attache to Lord Stratford de
Redcliffe, and two years later was called to the bar. He became an
officer in the Cheshire Yeomanry, and unsuccessfully contested

for several years. From 1877 till his succession to the title in 1887 he
