LONDON BURNING ITS WASTE
English City Comes Near to Finding
Solution of Problem Faced by
All Large Centers.
To bum as fuel sewage, sludge,
coal washings, shale, and other
waste is the latest fashion in Lon
don. Tar, crude naphtha, or other
tarry substance is mixed with pe
troleum, shale, Texas oil, or other
hydrocarbon oil in such a way as to
produce a solid precipitate which
can be separated from the remaining
thin liquor. The thin fluid from
which the precipitate has been sep
arated is used to produce a binding
agent for the artificial fuel. For this
purpose resinous matter is dissolved
in the liquor until the whole becomes
a thick viscous mass to form the
binding agent. This mass may be
mixed with a tarry substance in
equal proportions and a little com
mon salt added. The combustible
rubbish is reduced to a dry powder
and thoroughly mixed with a small
proportion of the dried precipitate
produced as described. A little of
the binding agent is added and the
whole is mixed at a suitable temper
ature. The result is pressed into
blocks or briquettes or otherwise
treated to produce artificial fuel as
desired. With slight changes the
same formula is used for making
artificia coke, an achievement hither
to impossible.
TALENTED WIFE OF ARTIST.
Louise Cox is the California wife of
Kenyon Cox and a winner of a num
ber of prizes as an artist in her own
name. She paints small decorative
pictures and portraits, mostly of
children. She is an earnest worker
and uses an interesting method.
Each picture is the result of many
sketches and the study of many mod
els, representing in a composite way
the perfection of all. For the Virgin
in her “Annunciation,” a model was
first posed in the nude, and then
another was draped, the artist
sketching the figure in the nude,
draping it from the second model.
The hands always are separately
sketched from a model which has a
peculiar grace in folding them nat
urally.
FOR THE MAN THAT SMOKE8.
It is quite certain that much may
be done to diminish the risk of to
bacco amblyopia by paying attention
to certain points of personal hygiene.
For instance, a rule should be
made never to smoke upon an empty
stomach, but as far as possible only
after meals. It is absolutely bad to
smoke before dinner, and equally
bad to smoke late at night to keep
awake at one’s work.
It should also be forbidden to
chew the cigar between the teeth, as
many smokers are wont to do.

TEACHER’S INSTITUTE.
The teachers of Woodruff coimty
met at Cotton Plant on June, 1,
1908 with Prof. A. L. Hutchins as
instructor.
The attendance was good and
more than the usual amount of
interest was manifested during the
five days session at the close of
which the following resolutions
were passed:
We, the teachers assembled at
Cotton Plant, desire to express our
sincere thanks—
First : To Prof. Bellenger and
the School Board of Cotton Plant,

Second : To Prof. Hutchins
