BENEFITS OF DEAR COAL.
Economy in Manufacturing Processes
Stimulated by Lack of Fuel.

An observant engineer, travelling
through some of the Swiss manufac-
turing centers. noticed that, generally.
Swiss steam engines were of higher
economical type tnan those in Eng
land. while Swiss electrical generators
and motors were distinctly inferior to
those of English standard practice. By
a process of deduction from local cir
cumstances he was able to attribute
these two circumstances to the high
cost of fuel in Switzerland on the one
hand. and the great plenty and con-
sequent cheapness of natural water
powers in the country on the other.
The highest results in any branch of
industry require an artificial stimulus.
At no time within recent memory has
the trade in economical appliances for
the production of steam energy been
as active as it is now. denomination
in manufacturing processes simply
means the suppression of waste and
in that view the existing exorbitant
cost of fuel is not without its COM
pensations. 1t must also be remem-
bered that the present high price of
coal is most ligely transitory, but that
the economical improvements to which
it may give rise must be permanent
for. however slow advance in manu-
practice may be. there is no
stepping back.-London Express.

Illustrated article on After Dinner
Sports. which all those fond of
amusement should read.
You may have engaged the greatest
comedians. the most noted society
testers whom money can procure, to
amuse your guests; yet five minutes of
the Blind Mans Steeple-Chase" will
do more to put everyone in a good
humor than any number of comic songs
says the writer of the article in ques-
ton.
A drawing-room steeple-chase is
done in this way: narrow course is
arranged down the length of the room.
laid out with Jumps. varying in
height. and at. different distances from
each other. The jumps are made with
piles of books. or cushions. foot-stools
small chairs laid on their sides. or in
any other way that ingenuity can sug-
gest; but all must be small enough
to be easily stepped over.
Someone. preferably an athletic
young man who prides himself on his
skill in hurdle jumping-must now be
blindfolded. and il is required that
he shall journey from end to end of the
obstacles. This is carefully explained
to him beforehand and he is allowed to

innate their heights and distances be-
fore his eyes are bandaged; in fact,
he may make a trial trip over the
course. so that the distance between
the jumps may be firmly fixed in his
memory. Then he is started on his
steeple-chase.
No sooner is he of. than all the OBJ
stacles. quietly and stealthily. are re-
moved from his path. He advances a

over an imaginary jump-and as he

are his careful efforts to clear obstacles
when not one is in his path. that long
before he has reached the winning
post he will be the only person in the
room who is not feeling tired from eX-
cess of laughter. The misguided
steeple-chaser- thinks. of course, that
he is performing splendidly when he
finds that he is clearing everything in
his path without a touch-nothing fun

Woman Who Claims to be of Roya

4 Hawaiian woman who makes some

ers who resided near by, and attempts
on their part to prevent the flow OF
profanity brought down increased
wrath upon their heads
The row started over the woman's
taking a big bundle of her laundried
clothes into her buggy in which was
also a colored man, and attempting to
drive away without paying for it ana
for sundry other washings which the
laundryman ayerred she owed him. The
Chinese held the horses head, while the

An Old Beer Bible.

Perhaps the only copy of the Boer Bible
in the country is in the possession of Pc
ter NJ. Campbell, of Denver. The Bible
is in the Dutch language, and was pub
lished in the Netherlands, as is announc
ed in the preface, in 1919 Mr. Campbell
who is the son of Sir Duncan Campbell
of Scotland, came into possession of the
volume some eighteen years ago at the
time of the first Boer war. He was act
ing as newspaper correspondent at the
time and remained in the Transvaal for
five years.
During his residence there he bought
the book from a minister of the gospel
named Hoxmeyre, who gave the follow
ing account of it's history:
The book was for a long period of years
in the Jubert or Joubert family, of which
the noted General Joubert was a noted
memter. 1t was brought to Cape
Town by the first band of Dutch emf
grants and was the second book ever
taken to South Africa. The book itself.
aside from it's history, is interesting as a
specimen of bookmaking 1t is a huge
volume, about twelve inches wide. eight

bound in calf. and the backs are boards
half an inch thick and beveled at the

brass pieces in front and al the back II

In Typography the volume, though near

One of the queer customs of former
times-that of representing Biblical char
acters clad in the fashion of the time
the book was printed-is shown in sew
