smokeless Coal Dust Firing.

sgsy :
The problem of the smokeless COM
bustion Of coal appears to have been
solved by a recent German invention
which is reported as arousing much at
tention In Berlin. In this patented
firing apparatus the coal Is no longer
burned In Jumps, but it Is reduced t4
powder by means Of the ordinary CEN
trifugal mills. The new system, which
Is called 'autOmatic and smokeless coal
dust firing,n is extremely simple. At
the place where hitherto the coal was
introduced into the fire grate-that is
to say, at the fut1aea iIoor-there is a
movable pear-shaped apparatha, con-
sisting principally OF b fire chamber
lined with fire brick. One aperture Of
this hollow pear opens, in the direction
Of the axis of the boiler, into the mouth
OF the hitherto employed furnace, from
which the fire Crates, fire bridges, etc.,

Will it paw to grow small fruit,
strawberries. raspberries and black
berries for family use and markets l
am asked by letter more than have
time to answer. In answer to the
letters, know no better way than to
state my own experience.
Sixteen years ago commenced on
growing about one acre, each OF
Strawberries, raspberries and black
berries, with box material four times
as high in price as at present, ship
ping double also, writes Jacob Faith
in the Journal of Agriculture. So l
had to confine myself to home market
mostly Nevada. Ihad to peddle over
the town to sell 50 or SO worth a
day, of Strawberries and raspberries;
blackberries would not sell at all
4they are now the most profitable
berries to grow.) had no competl-
ton. I was asked where in the
woods these large berries growed. l
had to give many boxes away to in
duce people to buy the next day. 1t
was more difficult to cultivate the
peoples taste than the berries, as
they grew and yielded wonderfully.
The demand more than trebled year
after year, so enlarged my acreage.
I have sold over $50 worth of straw
berries from an acre in one day.
Both Strawberries and raspberries
were profitable for me. Had l kept
silent as to how much l
realized from berries, instead of
writing to editors telling how
profitable the business was, and also
giving instructions what varieties to
plant and how to cultivate, l could
have raised berries for few more
years with profit. About four years
ago 200 acres were planted in the
vicinity of Nevada, and some other
counties must have planted accord
ingly, Judging by the large amount
reported in the market, selling for
less than they can be grown for This
caused some to become discouraged
in raising berries, and many patches
were plowed up Others gave them
no care and Strawberries will endure
less neglect than any other berry.
This being the case, strawberries
were scarce on the market the past
season, and predict will be the COM
ing season. The past dry summer
was unfavorable to growing plants
for fruiting.
In answer to the question, "Will it
pay to grow berries for family use?"
yes. There is no better invest
ment to the amount Of work required.
I often wonder why it is that so many
farmers do notsprovide for their FAM
lilies what would add so much to their
health and comfort. The appetite for
fruit is natural one. When are we
in our most natural state of health?
Few will deny that it, is in child
hood. Very we'll. Now send child

put upon the table at once, assuring
it that it may eat whatever it wishes.
and ninety-nine times out of one hun
dred he will dine of the fruit that
was provided for dessert.

The Largest Metal Lathe i'm the
World.

The Largest Metal Lathe i'm the
World.
The largest metal lathe in the world
is now finishing one of the two i'm
mense steel barbettes for two of the
new government war vessels. The
lathe is located in the Lake Erie En-
gineering works, says the Worlds
Progress. 1t is claimed that not even
the great works of Krupp, the German
gunmaker, the WoOlwich arsenal Of
England, or the United States govern
ment establishments are equipped with
machinery large enough to turn out
these barbettes. A barbette, it may be
explained, is tubular base of the tur-
ret of the ironclad. 1t rises in the mid
die of the irOnclad, and through 1t the
guns are raised from the gun room be-
low, where the loading is done, to the
turret from which they are fired, These
barbettes, when finished will be twenty
feet in diameter. They are rolled in
quarter sections, each weighing twenty
tons, and four cars are required for the
shipment Of the entire barbette The
sections have to be worked down to a
specified weight, polished and nodded
for putting together, and the greatness
of the task may be imagined from the
fact that It will require six weeks more
to finish the first barbette: Yet these
works run day and night, with only
half hours stoppage OF the machinery
at noon and an hour in the morning
Recently the, four great rolled nickel
steel plates, shipped on, special cars
from the Carnegie mills, were switched
into the yards Of the works. With the
exception Of the 17-inch armor plate for
the same cruisers, they are the heaviest
pieces Of rolled plate ever made In this
country.

the tests of any value or significance,
the work after being nailed should be
allowed to stand for q week or two

my experience that cases nailed with
cut nails are easier to open with nail
puller than the same cases In which
steel nails hye been used. The cut nail
after starting comes out easy, whereas
the wire nail hold its full length. Car

Among the many uses to which paper
has been put in later years none seem
more curious than the vessels made to
hold fluids And, remarks an exchange,
just as one has grown accustomed to
paper pals and basins, a new industry
has started up, in the construction Of
paper barrels: BY means of ingenious
machinery the pulp Is carried along on
an endless blanket which allows the
water to drain off. As it thus goes on
it's way the pulp IS deposited upon cyl
inders. I'm about four minutes there
is enough collected upon one cylinder to
make one barrel upon which being
the case, the cylinder Is removed and
the barrel body set away in drying
room, where it remains for one day.
It is then dampened again, and under
hydraulic pressure, is shaped into the
regular form. Again it is dried and re.

Family Names and Migration.

Southern family names are scattered
scross the country below Mason and
Dixon's line from east to west in what
geologists would perhaps call a drift.
As the west began to be settled by peo-
pie from the colonial seacoast fringe,
emigration tended to go in straight lines,
90 that the names of the Virginia sea-
coast appear in Kentucky, those Of North
Carolina i'll Tennessee, those Of South
Carolina along with Oglethorpe's cock
neys in Georgia. Later the drift swept
westward into Arkansas, Mississippi and
Texas. In the progress names have been
curiously transformed. Flemish names
have lost the wan" or de" Huguenot
names, whether Flemish or pure French,
have been awkwardly Anglicized, and
even English names have suffered vio-
lent change.-New York Sun.

in the seventies were largely PANIED out

him S2io q day for water TO work II, and
though 1t eventually panned out well lie
could not afford to wait. Another man

a day for working in the mine at this
time and that he thought he was doing
well until he found he had to pay a
dollar apiece for eggs and 500 for a

mining OF today is done by Cinnamon,

Chinese quarter. There are about
thousand in Helena and a great number
in Butte city. While was in Great
Fal is one attempted to enter the town

QUARTZ MINING.
The chief mining now done is quartz
mining, and II takes a fortune to
develop these mines. The result Is that
the best mines are owned by wealthy
men or by large corporations, and min
ing is as systematically done here as any
great business OF the east. The very
best OF machinery and the most costly
is used and every mine has skilled scien-
lists connected with IL. High wages
are paid and you will find as finely Gull
tured men at the head OF these mines as
you can find IN any OF the clubs Of
boston or New York, Think of mine
like that OF the Anaconda, which has
actually expended 10000, 900 In ten
years, and you get some idea Of Mon.
iana mining. The smelters OF Butte
turn out about $4,000 600 worth Of
metal year, and the Butte mines dur.
ing the last ten years have turned out
considerably more than 500, ooo, 900 and
have paid more than s5o,ooo,ooo in divi-
dends.
BANKING AND INTEREST IN MONTANA.
You would think with all this that
there was plenty Of money in Butte and
that you could borrow It for nothing.
The truth Is that the bankers get from
10 to u per cent throughout this whole
region with gilt-edged security and that
IS per cent Is not uncommon. The
most of the men have met claim to be
making money, and quite number OF

Butte and business buildings bring in

badly no city in the United States that

replied that the first step would be to

that they hoped TO get rid OF the

be long time hence. Miners take
naturally to gambling, and the big
wages find their way TO the faro tables.

SOMETHING ABOUT MONTANA MINES.
These places OF vice are, however,
decreasing every year. and Montana will
eventually come down to a solid basis.
The mines are rapidly going into the
hands OF big capitalists. Placer mining
could be done by any one, and the
millions that were taken out OF the
