AUTlFICtAIi COAL TO
8UPPLANT IlKAL ARTICLE
As the earth's coal supply dimin
ishes. industry, confronted with the
certainty of its ultimate exhaustion,
appeals to science for a substitute.
Force is given to this appeal by
the persistent rise of fuel prices.
Economic wisdom is shown in the
recent utilization of fuel residues
which were formerly ignored. That
the steam coal deposits of England
will be exhausted within another
generation is the opinion of geol
ogists.
In portions of the United King
dom, peat, both In its natural form
and chemically prepared, is used
as a fuel. In the natural form it
ia employed for domestic service,
but Its calorific property being
le'atively amall as compared with Its
bulk, for industrial use it is value
less.
? ? ? ?I.Io.uKIk
Ill ireiana, vn?re a cvu?u?t?w.
portion of the land surface con
ii3ts of a peat bog, peat ia con
ver'od into coal by an electrical
prorata. A hard, smokeless steam
coal, equal to the best product of
?:he Welch mines, is produced.
At an Fngllsh plant In Kent, the
conversion of peat into coal is ef
fected by two simple features of
operation. :?y ine lightning revo
luUon of rotary cylinders into
which it is pressed, the peat is
thoroughly divorced from moisture.
The charring prooess is then accom
plished by the insertion of elec
trodes, a powerful current carbon
izing the mass. tty this process of
carbonization, the Kentish manufac
tuiers are enabled to furnish a
eoal equal to the best of that min
ed in Wales at three-fifths the price
of the latter.
In Prance Is manufactured a
smokeless, ductless fuel. It is a
chemically treated composite of
coal dust and oil.
While several hundred patents ou
artificial f tel have been issued In
thii country, they have, with ono
or two exceptions, failed to realize a
commercial value.
A fuel compound of paper pulp and
crude oil is an American Invention.
It has a mortar-like consistency, is
of quick ignition and high calori
fic value. The residue is small.
A New York expert has demon
strated that live mud such as is
found lu our swamps can be utilized
as fuel. The formatiou of a coal
structure is effoct-tl by machinery
especially designed for the work.
The processes employed are those
of maceration, cutting, mixing,
kneading, pressing, and exsiccation.
The finislu-d product Is a frangible
substance o' the color and density
of bituminous coal.
As the alchemists 01 okl dreamed
of a universal solvent, so the chem
ists of our time, iu groping for an
artificial coal, have sought a quan
titively preponderant base that, in
combustion, would not too readily
sacrifice its chemical co-agents.
This much covGt ^ base has been
discovered by an Indiana man.
Ho has invented a coal, the cal
orific value of which is more than
double that of the best mined pro
duct. Th9 base is simply common
dirt, of which 1800 pounds to the
ton are employed. The coal is
manufactured either ^joft or hard, to
meet the consumer's demand, the
soft burning the more readily. The
color is that of tho natural coal,
but dull, havlug 110 gloss whatever.
It is smokeless, renerates no gas,
and can be produced at less thau
tho mere primary expense of car
carrying tho natural product to the
mouth of the mine. Its consumption
is attended by slight waste, a fine
white substance being tho only resi
due. Its density and durability are
determined by tho amount of heat
and prosaure applied. By a re
stricted application of these Pro
cesses, a soft substance resembling
gunpowder is produced. This is
designed for quick fire. Upon the
other hand, a prolonged application
of Intense heat, supplemented by
powerful pressure, establishes a
density of substance comparable to
thai of iron. The finished product
is of exalted calorific value, the
quality of persistence being higher
than that of any o her fuel, either
natural or artificial.
At last we have an artificial coal,
the least expensive of all fuels, and
superior to tho natural product in
that It Is almost ei 'irely available,
is 3mekeless, gwsloss, of greater
calorific value, and more enduring.

Th? "Dandy Horse."
The father of the bicycle tribe, the
"dandy horse." was invented In 1818
by Haron von Drnlse of Paris. It con
stated of tw wheels about thirty Inch
es In diameter running one in the wake
of the other an.i connected by b beam
of wood. upon which, halfway from
each end, was a saddle or perch, an
arm rest In front completing the ma
chine. It was propelled by kicking the
ground with the right and left foot al
ternately. It was from such a crude
affair that the modern bicycle wtl
?lowlv evolved.
An
Easter Morning
By DOROTHY CUMMINGS
It was Easter Sunday morning when
a train stopped at a little country sta
tion. a single passenger alighted, the
train went on and the man atood look
ing down upon a broad valley dotted
with farms. The sun poured forth a
teuial warmth; the air was balmy;
chirping birds were hopping about
among the trees on which the buds
were snelliug, the more advanced
bursting their leaves.
Twenty-five years have passed since
the man. then a boy of fifteen, bad
looked upon that valley, In which be
bad been born and up to that time
had lived. During those two and a
half decades It had not changed. Here
and there was a house which had gone
up since his departure, but he counted
not more than balf a dozen of them.
Down there to the left was his father's
farm, the same as he had left It, ex
cept that it bad lost its spick and
span appearanee. The apple trees In
U.e orchard had grown, and forest trees
near by hRd been saplings when he
left The well, the poultry bousn, the
wood house, were there, but they looked
dingy.
The man seemed to hesitate at leav
lug the station. As a boy be had been
grasping and bad quarreled with his
father because that father would not
give him what money he wanted to
spend and had gone away determined
to get money of his own. From that
day to this be had Iguored Ills parents,
hut he had got all the money he could
spend ar.d much more. From time to
time he had so far relaxed from his
busiuess as to remember the parents
he had left so ungraciously aud plan
some time to make them a visit. But
the pas*!on of money getting had got
him in Its clutches, and he always de
ferred Ills visit to a more convenient
season.
tt\ t
JUSl ill 11113 1IUHJ |Mi-|>u.ai>v... ...
Blister hud had an effect upon birn that
he had uot experienced before. He bad
climbed the hill of youth, stood upon
the crest of middle life and looked
down into the valley of old age. Then
he remembered his borne, and It seem
ed dear to him. He bad accumulated
so much money that be didn't know
what to do with It. A shame came to
him at remembering how be had treat
ed bis pureuts and bis neglect of tbom
since.
At last be descended from the station
platform and took a winding path
across lots? that same path he had trod
on that' memorable day he bad left his
home without taking leave of bis par
outs or nn.v friend. Ue crossed the
same bridge and walked through the
same lane to a side door of the home of
bis childhood. His father be pictured
a sturdy uiun with black bair and
whiskers, bis mother the tidy middle
aged matron he bnd left ber. As be
approached the bouse be saw a white
haired woman come to the door and
throw something to some chickens tbat
devoured It greedily. An old man with
an old man's walk was carrying a
bucket of water from the well bouse.
Could these be bis parents? Yes. There
was something about both that be rec
ognized. lie appionched the woman
and said:
"Mother!"
She looked at him lor n moment,
then, extending ber arms, cxclalmed:
"My boy! Sly boy!"
The old man, seeing the two with
their arms about each olber, drew near,
with an inquiring look oti hla face.
"Father." said the woman. "It's our
boy. He's come back to us."
"Have you come back? to stay?" fal
tered the old man.
"I've chosen this Easter Sunday,
father, to come back to ask your for
giveness for leaving and neglecting
you so long. Somehow this day seemed
tittcd for my return? a day connected
with the lesson given us by the Saviour
that a life of hoarding makes it a life
wasted. It was the want of money that
induced me to turn from you without
even a good by after you had given me
all I needed, loved, cherished me from
babyhood, and oow It Is a superfluity
of money that has driven me back. My
task is finished, and it has been re
vealed to me that It has been a task to
which I have been wedded through
miserly instincts. 1 have heaped up
treasures on earth and cannot use a
tenth part of my accumulations. 1
have come back to you penitent and to
say that Instead of being angry with
you for not giving me money, you will
hurt me If you refuse to help yourself
to any part or all of ray fortune."
The old couple looked at each other.
"What do we need, father?" said the
woman, The old man scratched his
head and, after much thought, said
that he couldn't think of anything.
They had been working and saving for
twenty years to pay off a mortgage on
the farm, but the last cent bad been
forthcoming and the load had t?een
lifted.
"Come In to breakfast, dear boy,"
said the old woman, "and we'll think It
over."
When the meal was finished she said
toiler son: "Your father and I want
for nothing more than we have. But
so many of our neighbors lirs poor,
some of them are sick, their children
are In rags and the farms are nearly
all mortgaged. You may give me what
you like for them: In that you will
make your old mother happy."
The prodigal drew forth a roll of bills
and laid It on the table, saying, "After
breakfast father and I will hitch up
the horse, and we'll go about and scat
ter It broadcast,"

Never neglect your kidneys.
If you bare pain la the back,
urinary disorders, dJiiinees and
nervousness, lt'a time to act and
no time to experiment. These are
frequently symptom* of kidney
trouble, and a remedy which u
recommended for the kidneys should
bo taken In time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are a good
remedy to use. It has acted effect
ively in many casus in this vicinity.
Can Alaskan residents demand

timonial T
E. O. Beaumont, 635 0 3t.,
Eureka, Cal., says: "For a long
time 1 had a bad case of kiduey and
bladder trouble. The kidney secret
ions were too frequent in passage
and 1 suffered a great deal from
backache that was especially severe
at night. I applied plasters to my
hack and used other remedies, but
without receiving any noticeable
benefit. Happening to see an ar
ticle li the papers about Doan's
Kidney Pil's, 1 procured the rem
edy. I began using It and in a
short time my kidneys were restor
ed to a normal condition. I have
used five boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills and can say that 1 am cured.
As I did not take any other remedy
at the same time, I give the full
credit for my cure to Doan'e Kidney
Pills."
