Up to the time of his de parture, he did not know just what line of work he would follow. Mr. R. E. Parks has taken over the superintendency of the Carbon Plant. We wish him all the success in the world, and can assure him he will get the hearty co-operation to which he is justly en titled. Mr. J. D.
