Powdered Coal as FueI

For some years past there have been
experiments with coal dust and pulver-
lied coal of various degrees of fine
ness, with a view to aScertaining how
much saving of fuel there is In using
coal In this fine state. 1t has been DEM
onstrated that with suitable feeding
machinery the saving may amount to
over forty-five per cent. above the coal
fed on ordinary fire bars. This point
is reached in a cupola furnace of the
most approved contraction. There are
several methods of burning coal dust.
One is the use Of a feeding apparatus
consisting of rotary brushes that throw
uous shower. This, of course, renders

THE TEXAN RANGERS.
The Force New but a Shadow of What Il
Was.

Was.
In the appropriation bill which the
legislature of Texas was recently called
in extraordinary session to consider is
an item which provides for the mainte-
nance of the ranger force. 1t will not
exceed $50, 900, and the smallness Of
the sum emphasizes the decadence of
an arm remarkable for its singularity
and efficiency. There is nothing exactly
similar among the forces of the world
The mounted constabulary of South Af-
RIGA bears, perhaps, closer resem-
blance than any other, though there
are wide divergences.
The Texas ranger wears no uniform.
His dress is composed of stout, dark
trousers, sometimes protected by over
alIs, woolen shirt, heavy sack coat,
sombrero, boots, stout gloves and spurs.
His arms are single action 40 caliber
colts six shooter and winchester car
bine-not rifle. He furnishes his own
horse and bedding. If the horse is
killed in action, the state replaces it. If
it dies or is stolen, the ranger must get
another. The pay is $50 a month for
privates, $40 for sergeants, SO for lieu
tenants and 500 for captains. The state
feeos them. Their supplies include -four,
coffee, sugar, lard, bacon, beef, mutton
and canned goods. They slay much
game and add variety to the bill of fare
in that way.
Owing to the settlement of the from
tier and the gradual establishment of
law and order the ranger force has stead
lily decreased for some years past. For
merly it consisted of six companies,
numbering approximately 100 men each.
Today there are not more than 90 men
in the service, all told, nor are they of
so high class as those who risked their
lives back in the eighties. In those days
the composition of the companies was
unique. No native Texans were in the
ranks. They were not enlisted because
it was feared that their home affilia-
tions would interfere with their work.
The men came from all sections of the
union, lured by the spirit of adventure.
Many of them were collegians In
Company + 15 years ago were two grad
yates of Yale, one of Harvard, one of
Princeton, three from the University of
Virginia and dozen from the smaller

of them now are high in political place

down to the tawny river, and even their
graves have been leyeled by the constant

the fuel supply Independent Of damp
ness or the possibility of clogging up.
Another plan is to drive the dust into
the furnace by powerful currents OF
air. 1t seems to matter but little how
the dust is fed. There is a manifest
economy in it's use, and as soon as the
proper dust-feeding machinery is per-
fected the fuel problem will be much
less difficult to struggle with.

Monument to the Cold Storage Ware
house Fire Victims.
The greatest tragedy of the Colum-
bian exposition year occurred July TO-,
1898. The destruction by fire Of the
cold storage warehouse near the
Worlds Fair grounds entrance at 64th
street made the one great day Of hor-
rors at the fair. Fifteen men lost their
lives before a helpless mass of thou
sands unable to succor them, or re-
ceived such injuries that they died
within few hours after the fire.
The courageous efforts of the firemen
to save the building, their reckless he
roism and the death they met have
been commemorated by Il handsome

Oceans Great Business.

A diving bell, consisting of a thick,
hollow cube Of about six feet and
weighing rather more than ten tons,
was recently lowered into water 200
feet deep, with strong timbers attach
ed to it, in order to test it's strength.
After the bell had reached the bottom
It was noticed that the timbers came
up in splinters, and when the bell was
pulled up it was crushed out of all rec

Mysterious Glass Balls.

The small island Of Billion, between
Sumatra and Borneo, has long been
famous for its rich tin mines, which
are controlled by the Dutch Govern
ment. In describing the geology Of
Billion before the Royal Academy Of
Sciences in Amsterdam recently, Mr.
Verbeek gave an account Of the mys-
terious 'glass balls of Billiton," which
are found among some Of the tin ore
deposits. They are round, with groov-
ed surfaces. Similar balls are Occa-
sionaAy found in Borneo and Java, as
we'll as in Australia. Mr.. Verbeck
thinks they cannot be artificial, and
there are no volcanoes near enough to
support the theory that they are vol
canic bombs. Besides, he says, the
CLASSY rocks produced by the nearest
volcanoes are quite different in their
nature from the material Of the balls.
He suspected that the mysterious OBJ
jects were elected, ages ago, from the
volcanoes of the moon, and afterward
fell upon the earth.

Natural Rods.

The tall Lombardy poplar has rep
utation in some parts Of Europe as
kind Of natural lightning-rod. Inyesti-
cations recently made by DR.. Hess In
Switzerland appear to confirm this
reputation of the tree. Its wood is an
unusuall-- good conductor Of electric
ity as compared with others, while its
great height and lack of spreading
branches enable it to conduct light
ming stroke straight downward. In
order, however, that a poplar-tree may
serve to protect a building, according
to DR.. Hess, it's foliage should be al
lowed to grow as near the ground as
possible; it should be removed not less
than six or seven feet from the near
est wall. No metallic objects on the
building should be near the tree, and
it's roots should penetrate a moist soil.

but the rain drops evaporate during
their descent, and the dust carried
with them falls In Jumps. Entire for
ests of poplar trees are buried In dust
hillocks forty feet high. These de-
posits Of dust are afterward moved on
by the wind, but the trees that have
been buried die, even after their dis
interment.
