FIRE WITHOUT SMOKE.
An Inventor's scheme for BurnlnR
Powdered Coal IL successful.

An Inventors scheme for BarnlnR
Powdered Coal IL Succcssful.
Wherever there's smoke there's
tion OF unvarying physical laws. but
the reverse does not always hold
good. for there may be fire without
smoke, or, ut all events without ap-
parent smoke.
In Berlin, according to the New
castle Chronicle, an inventor has
succeeded in devising q means for
insuring complete combustion with
out the emission of smoke, and his
method has. on repeated tcsts. proved
SO satisfactory that two of the most
important shipping companies in
Germany have decided on adapting
it to their steamers.
In this system, coal reduced to
powder in centrifugal dislntegraters
is introduced into a pear-shaped COM
bustion chamber lined with fire brick,
and fitted with an induction appara-
tus like those used in petroleum
fred furnaces, the coal dust being
drawn along by q jet of steam or
compressed air.
The combustion chamber, which
takes the place of . furnace, is pro-
vided with two apertures, one in the
center line of the boiler. occupying
the position of the usual frehole
door, while the other, on the oppo-
site side Of the combustion chamber.
serves for introducing the coal dust
through pipe, SO placed that the
dust is evenly dispersed over the
whole surface Of the chamber.
After the fist ignition, which may
be effected by any source Of heat.
the combustion continues regularly
and intensely under the action of the
air current. which is regulated in
accordance with the quantity of dust
required to produce the necessary
heat The air or steam and dust
are intimately mingled in the zone
Of combustion. while the sprea1 of
the current, which has served as a
vehicle for the dust is much reduced.
Each particle OF fuel held in sus-
pension is, by this method, brought
into such close contact with the oxy-
gen necessary for its combustion that
this method is 80 complete as to al
low Of practically no smoke being
generated.

THE BOY OF THE STREETS.

As q NewSpipor FIend He M kes 1t
Rough for the Old Peddiers.
The boy of the streets has an
abounding sense of the heroic He
is full of a sentiment which he has
learned while leaning over the top
gallery rail of a theatre. 1t is a
crude and boisterous sentiment, but
it is good in part. for it has taught
the boy to peel his coat in defense of
the weak, says the Chicago Record.
The trembling, white-haired old fell
low who has been compelled to take
up at 20 the employment intended
for boys OF 7 will not be received
with any reverent consideration along
he alley. The boys will call bln
''Grandpap," "Whiskers." '.San
ia Claus" or something else
just as disrespectful, but
they will never push him
out of line when he is waiting for his
armload. They will ''stake" If he
''goes broke" and if he is hungry
they will ''divvy." 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say there Is certain pathos
in seeing two comrades come out
from the roaring and scrambling
alley with their papers under their
arms; one is bent and wrinkled; he
couldn't make his voice heard ten feet
through the frightful n of shrek
ing youngsters and rum bling presses.
The other is about the size of a
sparrow. with shoes too large for
him and legs somewhat larger than
lead pencils. The youngster is away
like fash for a corner where he is
known. The old man putters be-
hind him If the boy outspeeds him
the old man has the advantage OF a
certain business dignity and he will
fiud customers whom the, boy has
overlooked in his haste.

teen years in the service. of which
four years were passed in the lowest
Of the pay corps grades and the re-

officer now first on the list of past

which he passed three and half in

rEAcAlNo HIM TO WALTZ
Il ho Girl who Tried 1t WiII Never Make
che Aesempt AGAla.


che AGsempt Agnla.
Did you ever try to teach q man
how to waltz? If you never have,
don't attempt it. says the Boston
Globe. One girl went through such
an ordeal, and this is what she says
about it:
.'ln the first place. stood beside
him, took hold of his hand and tried
to illustrate how the first steps went.
Then I told him to do as / did.
and he began to see saw back and
forth like q wild Indian
.'When he whirled around both
arms sprang out, sometimes hitting
me in the eyes, and occasionally Civ
ing me whack in the back of the
neck.
''Hls feet made themselves into
Chinese puzzles. He invariably toed
in. walked on his own heels, or else
pranced around heel and toe fashion.
''He said that he had NO idea that
he had SO little control over his feet
Il had to sit down every few
moments TO collect my thoughts,
catch my breath and refrain from
growing incurably oss-eyed trying
to keep track of the whereabouts of
his shoes. 1t was one. two. three.
four until my lips became parched
from constant counting.
You'd have thought that he was
walking through snow-drifts to watch
his steps. Such wiggling, such
twisting and twirling l never before
gazed upon.
Il kept saying, You must be
very tired; won't you rest a while?'
and he always answered: Tired?
Well, guess not? This is just too
jolly
And then of he'd go in a mad
tangle of jumps and hops. and all
the time he sang that awful song
about My left foot is crazy, my righ:
foot is lazy. now don't be unazy, I'll
learn yez to waltz
After a while he insisted on my
dancing with him. Well, when I'd
start he'd be puzzling about which
foot he should begin with, or else
he'd say: Hold on now till / think
of something to whistle
"When we did make a beginning
he used me for pivot and rae d
around me as If he we're the tire of a
wheel and the hub
"Oh, it was awful! And when ne
got all through with the lesson, and
was puzzling my brains wondering
why it wasn't more successful. it
suddenly dawned on my weak little
mind that had taught him to begin
with the same foot that girls begin
with.
$50 / suppose I've got to go
through the whole thing again the
next time he calls"

Paris tradesmen who sell photo
graphs say that pictures of promin-
emit men are very little in demand
in the illustrated papers that photo
graphs no longer go. The actresses
and fashionable women, of all social
grades, are eagerly bought, not by
their admirers among men mainly.
but by dreSsmakers of the second
class in Paris and the provinces.
The latter buys the photographs to
study the patterns.

SEEK THEIR FOOD AT NIGHT.

PrOwlInR Animals Which Keep Late
Hours la the TrOpIca, Countries.
In tropical countries, where the
struggle for life seems to rage even
nercer than in the temperate regions,
a vast number of animals have been
driven by want to seek their liveli-
hood in the dark, through stress OF
competition. The Cornhill Magazine
mentions the hOwler monkeys, for
example. who make night hideous in
largo tracts of South American for
ests, beginning their dismal music
as soon as evening sets in and only
retiring for the day as dawn puppies
the horizon. There are the lemurs
OF Madagascar, SO called because,
like ghosts, they walk by night and
withdraw at cockcrow- strange,
stealtlIy, noisele creatures, with
great. wistful, poetical eyes and
enlarged pupils; monkeys that prey
on birds and insects in the gloomy
depths of their native forests. There
is the slender loris, graceful and
beautiful beast. with eyes like q
gazclle's, but treacherous man
ners, who pounces upon birds as
they sleep in their little nests, creep
ing silently upon them from behind
like an Indian upon the warpath, ana
affortling no indication OF his hateful
presence till he is within arms reach
OF his slum mbering victim. There is
that curious little nondescript ami
NAL. the aye aye, who attracted so
much attention a few years ago at
the zoo-a quaint. small beast, half
monkey, half rodent, who comes forth
at night in search of fruits or insects
and crawls through the woods with
catlike pace upon butterfly and cater
pillar. And there is that other con-
Meeting link, the galeopithecus, or
''hying m0niSey'-a lemur we'll on
its way to develop into bat, apelike
in form, but with membrane
stretched loose between his arms and
legs after the rudimentary fashion OF
the flying squirrel, by means of which
he glides from tree to tree with a sort
of hall jump, half fight. very curious
to witness. These are but few of
the nocturnal mammals of the mon
key and Iemur type, ancient ances-
tors of our own, gone wrong through
keeping such very late hours. and
now stranded for the most part in
islands or peninsulas of extreme an
tiquity.
