Associated Charities Need Coal

~A"SoN"''Su NcSu OpHs'
The trustees, on account Of an empty treas
ury, are compelled to make an urgent appeal
to our benevolent citizens for funds to enable
them to purchase 200 tons of coal for dis
tribution amongst the deserving poor this
winter.
The applications are very numerous and
pressing and require immediate attention.
The board, therefore, hopes to have a liberal
and ready response to its necessitous appeal.
Checks payable to the Associated Charities,
or donations of coal will be thankfully re-
ceived at S07 Howard street.

In Hyde Park With Carlyle.

Col. T. w. Higginson In the Atlantic
Nothing could well be more curious at
that day than the look and costume of Car
lyle. He had then been living In London
nearly forty years. yet he had the untamed
aspect Of one just arrived from Ecclefe-
chan. He wore IAN old experienced coat"
such as Thoreau attributes to his Scotch
fisherman. one having that unreasonably
high collar Of other days. In which the
head was sunk: his hair was coarse and
stood up at its own will; his bushy whisk
ers were thrust into prominence by those
stiff collars which the German students
call ''father-killers." from a tradition that
their points once pierced the jugular vein
of q parent during an affectionate embrace.
In this guise. with a fur can and a stout
walking stick. he accompanied Froude and
myself on our walk. observed that near
his Chelsea home the passers-by regarded
him with sort Of familiar interest. farther
OF with undisguised curiosity, and at Hyde
Park again with . sort OF recognition, as IL
an accustomed figure. At one point on our
way home some poor children were playing
ON bit Of rough ground lately included in

les az we drew near. The Oldest boy look

Experimenting With Fire.

F1om the New York Times.
A new explanation comes from Phtla-
delphia for the fact long ago noticed by all
who have had any experience with burning
buildings, that a fire which has long smol-
dered in one part Of structure will often
spread almost instantly to all other parts
Of 1t the moment a door or window is
opened. The usual theory is that the flames
leap into activity because Of an increased
supply Of oxygen. but this hardly accounts
for the surprising rapidity with which
every floor of large business block or
dwelling is sometimes swept by fire that
has previously confined itself for hours to a
single room or part of a room. Expert
ments recently made by a fire department
official In the city mentioned go far to-
ward showing that smoke itself, in certain
conditions, is both infiammable and ex-
pios1ve. This he demonstrated by means of
an apparatus consisting of a deep, round
tin can inverted over a smaller can and a
gas burner. Smoke was produced by plac-
Ing hay. gram. wood and other materials
In the small can and heating them over tho
gas burner. the smoke produced being
caught in the large can. In the bottom of
the latter was placed some excelsior. An
opening in the inverted can permitted the
air to be driven out. and then the opening
was closed. When the can became filed
with smoke. tho heat of which was not
sufficient to ignite the excelsior, a flame
placed near the open end caused an explo-
sion and set fire to 1t. The force Of this
explosion depends largely upon the material
used to produce the smoke. smolderine
malt giving the maximum result, and old
rags also producing strong explosion.
From this experiment the deduction was
that building filled with smoke is threat.
ened with quick and speedy destruction.
and that some means to clear 1t of the fine
~ divided carbon should be used. Spraying
each room with water will accomplish this,
fact that was clearly demonstrated in the
course Of these experiments

Don Carlos Popular In Vienna.

Don Carlos Popular In vienna.
From the New York Times
Don Carlos. the Bourbon pretender to the
Spanish throne, Is a near neighbor. He
and his charming French wife are always
welcome guests at the Palazzino A. She
comes of the grand old De Rohan family
who refused all titles. saying:
Il can't be king,
I won't be less,
am Rohan."
Don Carlos is tall, handsome man, of
imposing appearance, who certainly looks
every inch king" He has pleasant man
ners and is very much liked in Venice,
where many will rejoice II he ever comes
into what he considers to be his own. The
ancient palace on the Grand canal in which
they live has been transformed as to its
French domicile, with all comferts and i'm
provements. Here he shows much hospi-
tality to his friends and adhereats.
The moonlight nights n Venice seem to
be brighter and more deatcipuss than they
are anywhere else. It Is simply blissful to
go alone in gondola and nOat silently
down the lagoon, the wind like velvet blow
ing into ones face. the gentle splash Of
the gondolier's oar the only sound which
breaks on the stiffness. tt To- impossible
to talk on such nights as these, the beauty
OF everything Is 80 intense The thought
that this Is Venice, and the lagoons and
the midsummer moon shining down on it
all. makes one speechle1s with rapture
every joy in this world. Is struckas we pass
between the two madhouses and hear the
awful laughter and chatter oe their I'M
happy inmates. We thought Of Julian and
Maddalo, and our gondolier told US Of
obliged to eat fermenfed polenta and they
went mad by hundreds and the asylums
were crowded with them.
