ADDING HORROR to SITUATION
Conversation as Reported by Boston
"Humorist" Would Seem to About

"The conl situation Is getting very
accuse, isn't It?" asked ma, as she
looked over the morutng paper.
"Yes," said Peggy. "I was reading
where Mr. Stomorrow, the fuel demon
strator, Is trying to get coul from the
minds."
"But the paper says there Is a short
age of anthrax conl," Interrupted ma,
"and that we should use voluminous
coal."
"Xot 'voluminous,' ma." corrected
Peggy, "buytooinany coal!"
"I don't care what they call It." said
ma. "you can't get any, anyhow. It's
Just too aggregating for words. A
pound of sugar or a hod of coal today
Is worth more than all the wealth of
the ancient Inkstands."
"Who were them?" asked Peggy.
"Them was Indians as used to live
down in Texaco," ma told her. "It does
look as If this war would never ter
minal."
"It will be terrible if the Russians
continue their armature with the Ger
mans. wouldn't It. ma?"
"Oh, he's a terrible, terrible man,"
sighed ma.
"Whom Is?" asked Peggy.
"Why," said ma, as she went to get
dinner, "who but the geyser?"—Joe
Toye in the Boston Post.
Burning Water.
Particularly pat, at a time when the
shortage of coal has required many
emergency regulations of business, Is
the announcement that a chemist has
found a way in which it will, It is
claimed, be commercially profitable to
use water as fuel. A man who saw the
process exemplified describes It to the
Christian Science Monitor in these
words: "I have seen water burning, I
have seen water streaming Into a tlame
of blazing oil, and. Instead of putting
out the tire. It made the flame rear up
ward and develop a temperature of
2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, enough to
inelt copper." It should be said that
the water alone will not burn now any
more than In the past. but. combined
with equal parts of any oil that will
Mow freely. It becomes excellent fuel.
This Is the way the observer explains
the process technically: "The combus
tion of water is based upon the fact
that when a tine stream of water is put
through an Intensely hot metal coll, it
Is not only turned into vjipor. but the
water molecules are split up Into their
constituent elements, oxygen and hy
drogen."
