STOKER NO LONGER NEEDED
Use of Oil Instead of Coal Has Ren
dered Picturesque Character on
Shipboard Unnecessary.
"The Passing of the Fiery Fur
nace" might some day appear as the
title of a book telling of modern meth
ods of traveling by sea, with emphasis
on the bunkering of ships with fuel
oil Instead of coal, thus eliminating
the stoker who. day and night, shov
I eled that coal into the ever-yawning
depths of flame. Doubtless those trav.
elers who used to feel sorry for the
stoker's plight will Join In the pleas
ures of the trip with greater equanimi
ty on the oil-burning boats. One of
the most interesting of recent sights
In the kaleidoscopic harbor of New
York was the bunkering with fuel oil
of the Cunard liner Aqultanla directly
from an oil tanker. In about twenty
hours 43.000 barrels of oil was stored,
by means of an S'.i-Inch flexible metal
hose, the services of but three men
being required. Had all four connec
tions been used, the hunkering could
have been completed in six hours by
seven men. this including both proc
esses of discharging and receiving.
Thus the modern method means a
saving of time, labor and expense,
j since the coal bunkering of an ocean
liner usually requires the services of
many men for several days. It Is also
Interesting to note that the liner's
first run with oil as a fuel resulted
I In the consumption of approximately
3.900 tons, as against the usual 5,840
tons of coal.—Christian Science Moni

MOSTLY OF INDIAN ORIGIN
Twenty-Five of the Forty-Eight States
of the Country Have Practically
Native Names.
Of our 4S states we find that 23 hear
names of Indian origin, while 12 are
English, six Spanish and three French.
Two states may he said to have Amer
ican names. • The first Is Washington,
named after the Father of our Coun
try, and the second Indiana, so called
on account of the purchase and sub
sequent settlement by various Indian
tribes of large tracts of land north of
the Ohio river and within the present
boundaries of the state.
When we review Indian state names,
we must remember that there was no
one Indian tongue. Instead, there
were several separate and distinct lan
guages, and each of those was divided
Into many dlr.lects. Hence the wide
variance in Indian names In different
sections.
Wisconsin, written !>y early Fiv.jch
explorers of the region as Ouisconsin
and named for Its chief stream, is
thought to have come from a Sac In
dian word translated as Wild Hush
ing Channel, and also ns having ref
erence to holes in the hanks of
streams where birds nest. However,
neither of these interpretations can he
confirmed — National Geographic
Magazine.
Artificial Wool.
The artificial wool which lias been
under test :it Leeds (Kng.) university
Is produced from cotton waste. Its
basis being cellulose acetate. It is
claimed that the product is an even
better Insulator against heat and cold
than wool, that It takes dyeAuccess
fully, and that ft will wear well. In
the experiments made, it has been sat
isfactorily converted Into fabrics.
Equal parts of artificial wool and
natural wool cave a cloth resembling
tweed, and the head of the university's
textile department lias suggested that
this should be useful for men or wo
men fancying homespun effects in
clothing. Cheapness and possible
wearing finalities constitute the special
appeal of the material. Its defects are
said to Include inelasticity and lia
bility to break, and these unfit It for
yarns of the worsted typo, requiring a
combing length of two Inches or more
though it may serve well for yarn and
cloth where short fibers are suitable.
New Aircraft Rises Vertically.
Stimulated by receut offers of large
money prizes a number of French aero
nautical engireers are busy with the
construction of vertically rising, henv
ler-than-nir machines. The largest of
these Is a helicopter, characterized by
its unusually large size and substan
tial construction, says Popular Me
chanics Magazine. The wings resem
ble In plain the leaves of a four-leaf
clover, ami are carried on metal tubes
which radiate from a central upright
This upright Is mounted on the mid
dle of the metal fuselage and is re
volved by a nine-cylinder radial en

Had a Home Made Lock.
A few years»ago " p "'ere enjoying a
vacation trip lu a little car of ancient
vintage. This little car had been
built originally without a windshield;
later we had improvised one, using a
bent wood frame. One day while J
was waiting for my wife another mo
torist walked op to me and -said:
"Do you know that car of yours doesn't
look so bad until one sees the wind
shield, and then any one can tell you
made the whole thing yourself."—Ex
change.
Inside the Lines.
As we were driving throngh the city
we were forced to come suddenly to a
halt. Two old ladles were waikine
across the busiest thoroughfare as If
tt were the most uninhabited place on
earth. I sounded my horn Just as
they got In front of the car. One of
them stopped dead still and. giving ire
a very defiant look, said; "You don t
dare run over nie. Why. we are In
side lUe lines."—Chl'tig" Tribune.
HOPE INSTEAD OF DESPAIR
Inscription Suggested fo- Portal of
British Institution Would Seem
Peculiarly Happy.
Above the entrance to the prison on
Dartmoor, Eng.. which is now to be
I done away with, two Latin words are
j out Into the stone, which may be ren
dered "Spare the vanquished," and it
i was in this spirit the French prlson
| ers In the Napoleonic wars ns well as
I American prisoners in the War of 1812
I were received and'treated, and In time
allowed to live on parole In the neigh
, boring villages n»d towns.
I Stories of these refined and charm
' Ing hostages have dellghred the heart
' of youthful renders of many genera
tions, anil the work done by them In
carving and carpentering Is still care
fully treasured in many a home In
I Dartmoor to the present day. Little
could they have Imagined that the fine
air would make Dartmoor ns famous
! a resort as some of the hlghlai ds of
! Switzerland, and that after having be
| come a convict prison about 60 years
' ago, the place of their Incarceration
I* would be turned Into an institution
| for training lads on the Borstal sys
tem. The boys will have freedom, and
| will be acquiring a knowledge of farm
j Ing and reclamation work, as well as
j other means of gaining a living and
i fitting them to become valuable mem
bers of society. The boys will be
merely hostages, and another legend
should be carved over the gateway,
this time something more suitable to
I the occasion, such as "Take hope, all
j you who enter here."—Christian Scl
euce Monitor.
j "THRIFT" THAT DOESN'T PAY
I Some Suggestions for the Housekeeper
and for Those Who Are
Too Saving.
! There are some thrift suggestions
I flint do not always pay, remarks a
j writer in the Xew York Sun.
It doesn't pay, for Instance, to wrap
j the Ire in your Icebox lip In newspaper
j to save the Ice when by so doing you
i will keep the rest of -the Icebox from
I being kept cool. You may snve your
| Ice, but you may lose more than the
' worth of the Ice In meat and \egeta
j bles that have been spoiled.
| It doesn't pay to make a cake with
j out butter or egss when you have to
throw half of the cake away because
no one will eat It.
It doesn't pay to do your own hou^e
clean in? to save the expense of a wom
an by the day when this mentis that
you a-e not able to liave dinner at
home at at) expense of rather more
: than new material would cost.
It doesn't pay to deal with a grocer
who undersells the other grocers a lit
tle l>ecau<e he has no delivery service
when you spend an hour In getting
your supplies in order to save 10 cents. I
There are other ways that you can
make an hour's time worth much more
than that.
It doesn't pay to set so economical
a table that your children and your
husband will have a craving for candy
and between meals that will cost very
much more than would be needed to
set a realty bountiful table.
Trtes Hard to Kill.
When n tree Is out to the cround
and the root is loft to rot. nil 'lie
forces seem to rally round the dor
mant lea fluids contained in tlie old
roots. Subsequently, strong now
shoots grow. In much the same man
ner as from pollard willows.
With the saplings and pen sticks,
the ease is the same as with shrubs, j
heoanse. purposely or inadvertently,
some letifbuds on the stem have been
buried under the earth.
Although oak stakes are rarely !
found amnnc those which flourish un
der such conditions, yet there Is a j
en :o now in a Welsh colliery, where
a piece of oak timber, supporting the i
roof, has developed branches like mini- J
nture trees, which have grown to a j
length of three or four feet.
These are thickly covered with fully i
opened leaves of pale green, tipped!
with pink.
They live In utter darkness, and ,
present a most peculiar sight when
revealed by the light of a passing
safety lump.
Measuring Mammoth Cave.
An odd method has been used in
measuring the height of some of the |
great chambers in the Mammoth enve. i
The experimenter had little balloons !
made of a special pattern, with tljn- j
ner and more elastic rubber tlmu that j
of common toy balloons. Then, with
five balloons tied in a cluster, and
each Inflated with hydrogen to a diam
eter of 10 Inches, he began his at
tempts. An acetylene light revealed
the balloons when they touched the
top. The measuring tape was a light
thread. The Rotunda was found to Pe
Just 40 feet high, and the Mammoth |
dome 119 feet 0 iuches. But in the j
vast temple called Oorln's dome, wan
dering air-currents rendered the bal-1
loons unmanageable.
Writings Ascribed to Jews. I
It is believed today by many savants I
that the Old Testament description of j
Solomon's temple was written by the
•Tews after their return from captiv- [
ity, with the memory of the real
splendors of Babylon fresh in their
minds, says Anstruther Maekay, writ
ing in the Atlantic Monthly.
•It Is possible that the actual temple
was a simple place of worship. If It
had been otherwise, it is hardly possi
ble that no remains of It would be
visible today, seeing that the temples
of Egypt, which are so much older, re
main, In some cases, almost In toto.
" I was thirteen when my face and
back were getting pimples. The pirn
pies would get very red,
swollen and itcby, and it
was very hard to sleep at
night. The pimples would
come to a head and my
face was very bad.

She: That

LOOKING AHEAD
He: Do you think we could llvo

She: I think so, but how far
would it go If we ever got a divorce.
