81 recall a pleasant incident In the
life Of the late Representative Harter Of
Ohio" said an Ohio man the other day.
II was at his apartments one evening
at the hotel where he lived during his
first term In congress and was in the re-
ception room with several friends while
he was working in his Office at the far
end Of the suit of rooms. Presently he
came out among Us Laughing and hold
ing in his hand q check
"'Oh,' he said TO as, I am literary,
as well as You are, and here's a check
for $50 have Just got from maya
Sine for an article that wasn't expect
ing to get anything for.
ct told him / was not that literary,
for couldn't sell one article for $50,
and we laughed and chatted awhile
about it. Mr. Harter insisting that he
wasn't a writer for money, but for the
sake OF presenting hts views to the
world.
i don't know what TO do with the
check. he said and turned to his wife
DO You need itf' be asked her.
'"She told him she did not, though
most women would have had use for it
quick enough, and he stood irresolute
for a moment with the check In his
hand, then he smiled radfantly.
'''I know somebody who does want
it, he said, nodding at his wife as II
she never would see 1t again. I received
a letter from the pastor Of little Luz

away with IL as joyously as a schoolboy
with a plaything, and In a minute or
two the check, duly Endorsed and 40
companied by a letter. was waiting for
the postman to start 1t on It's mission Of

Energy From Volcanic HeeA.

The energy stored In the coal beds
has rightly been referred back to the
sun. and 1t Is no doubt to the same
source that we should ultimately attrib-
ute the heat developed at great depths
below the surface of the earth. While
Il is believed that no practical attempts
60 utilize this subterranean heat have
yet been carried into effect, there ap-
pears to be no good reason why the at
tempt should not be made. especially In
volcanic regions, where quite high tenn
peratures should be revealed at moder-
ate depths
In Colorado mining town an intex-
esting combination was recently OBJ
served which a little ingenuity might
have converted int q considerable
source Of power. Within 30 feet Of each
other were two springs, one Of tenn
perature Of nearly 900 degrees E. and
the other not over 90, the flow Of each
being very uniform and the temperature
quite constant. The theoretical efficiency
might readily be determined from the
well known law Of thermodynamios, and
the use Of one stream to vaporize and
Rhe other to condense some volatile
liquid, such az ammonia or bisulphide
Of carbon, might enable q fair percen-
tage of the energy to be utilized which
Is now running to waste. --Cassder' s

lost could only be recovered by miracle
On Wednesday, March 28, her oour-

her last instructions. She had none TO

up prayer at her bedside and she derived
some comfort from their ministrations.

woke again. About 8 O'Clock IN the
