an elaborate spread, and one Of the
chief items was some twenty-year-old
brandy that cost Mr.. Broadwater o
fabulous price and regarding which he
spoke with much enthusiasm. At. the
wind-up of the feast coffee and Rogue
fort cheese were brought in, though the
latter was not commonly down on
Montana menus at that period. Sit

Heating Capabilities Of Wood.

From time immemorial soft Wooo
has been regarded as comparatively
valueless for heating purposes. Hard
wood has brought high prices and has
been in much greater demand than
soft. on account of this generally pre-
vailing notion. Experiments with
woods of various sorts have demon
strated that the linden, which is one OF
the softest of woods, gives the greatest
amount Of heat. The value OF other
woods in their order as ascertained, Is
as follows: Fir with 0.99 heating
power: next follow the elm and pine
with 09S; willow. chestnut and larch
with O.97; maple, spruce and fir with
O.96; black poplar with 0.95; alder and
white birch with 0.94 only: then comes
the hard oak with 0.92; the locust and
the white beech with 0.91, and the red
beech with O.9O. Hence hard wood
heats the least" 1t is one OF the re-
markable facts of the day that so many
theories that have been held for many
years are fast giving way before the
critical analysis OF science,
