The history OF our public acnoole ar

OF this kind boys whose feelings have

They are unable TO feel and their lack

boys In such a temper Of mind may

chances aud opportunities into the

Fortunately these boys OF peiriied

characters grow sensitive again and
the lad Of 20 would be utterly incapable
Of doing things which the boy OF IL

touch OF romorsc. We believe that
achoolmastcrs OF experience will bear
us out In this and say that they have
known plenty OF utterly callous boys
who later have entirely lost the savage

SOLIDIFIED PETROLEUM.
Great Results Are Expected From the
Use OF This New FneL.
IuduSfrial World

Paul d'Humy has been exhibiting in Shelf
field and Liverpool, England, specimens of
soiidified petroleum. His process is a secret
one, but the inventor claims that it is capa-
ble OF producing a fuel as hard as anthra-
cite coal. and much more easily handled. In
combustion it burns without smoke or Odor.
and leaves a reSiduum of only about per
cent of ashes. The hardened petroleum
is neither volatile nor explosive. 1t is CON
sumed slowly from the outside until il is
all burned away; and it is u great generator
ofheat. OF this consolidated fuel three cubic
feet are said TO be the equivalent of ton
of bitumimouS coal.
On the railways and navigable waters of
the Caspian basin in Russia crude petroleum
is the common source of heat production
for motors, and it is found cheaper than
the coalsupplied to that locality. In oceanic
navigation, and especially on battleshirs
and war cruisers, the advantages of the
new fuel are apparent.
1t is estimated that zoo tons OF it would
do :hrce times the service OF the same
weight of coal. Here is saving of space
to be used for the storage of freight. In
handliugita largeproportion ofStrokerS ard
fircmen could be spared. II would enable
war vessels to remain at sea three times
as long as they do now without visiting

Here i is found that the star has precc-

John Drew and L. II. SothCrn are greater

The sixth position is maintained very stout
ly by Fanny Davenport, Clara Morris. Rich
ard Mansfield, Marie Wainwright and other
players who carry their own companies.
The seventh place in dramatic etiquette is
permanently occupied by Herbct Kelcey,
Henry Miller, Isabel Irving and Viola Allen.
The eighth place in procedure is held by
light-opera sopranos and comedians, such as
Lillian Russell. Pauline Hall, Marie Temp
est, Della Fox, Francis Wilson, De Wolf
Hopper and Frank Daniels. The ninth place
is FILLED by comedians proper, such as lie
Moync and James Lewis. These are fol-
lowed by the villains, who hold the eleventh
position, with the aid Of W. J. Ferguson,
Wilton LaCkaye, W. IL. Thompson, John f.

Coming to the twelfth place we find it filled
by the ingenues, such as Effie Shannon,

The thirteenth place falls to the soubrette-
Clara Thropp and her like. Fourteenth we
find dancers, such as Cissy Fitzgerald. Fif-
tcenth brings us TO the low comedians of the

performers we may reach the twentieth
