" The Ruling Passion"

"A writer's request of his master:
Lord, let me never tag a moral to a
story, nor tell a story without a mean
ing. Make me respect my material SO
much that l dare not slight my work.
Help me to deal very honestly with
words and with people because they
are both alive. Show me that as in a
river, so in writing, clearness is the
best quality, and little that is pure
is worth more than much that is
mixed. Teach me to see the local color
without being blind to the inner light.
Give me an ideal that will stand the
strain of weaving into human stuff on
the loom of the real. Keep me from
caring more for books than for folks,
for art than for life. Steady me to

can; and when that is DONE stop me,

me to say from a quiet heart a CRATE

A GENUINE NOVELTY.

1t il interesting to note that fortunes
re frequently made by the invention Of
rticles of minor importance. Some Of
these are invented solely for safety and
convenience, and when really meTitori
Gus, gain extraordinary popularity and
are sold by the thousands. Many of
these articles evince much inventive and
mechanical skill and their success de-
pends on the interest they excite. Among
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit people and meet popu-
lar conditions, and one Of the most inter-
esting of these that has ever been intro
duced is the DR.. White Electric Comb,
the name of which affords an indication
of its character. This device is as Valu-
able as it is novel, and is full of sa isl fac
ton to all, Thousands of these Electric
Combs have been sold i'm the various
cities of the Union, and the demand is
constantly increasing. Lovers OF con-
venience and health admit the superb
Ority of DR.. Whites Electric Comb over
everything Of the kind now before the
public. 1t is new, practical, durable and
is just what every one has long desired.
Not only is the Dr. White Electric
Comb a source Of satisfaction to all, but
1t is among the few things on the market
that does more than the manufacturers
claim for il. One lady claims that il
made her feel ten years younger" be-
cause it had saved her from headaches
and nervous conditions which before ts
use had been almost unbearable and had
aged her perceptibly.
From present indications this novelty
will prove TO be a money-maker, and is
at the same time one of the most inter-
sting ever introduced.

BY-PRODUCT COKE
 MAKINGI AMERICA

Written for the Engineering and Mining
 Journal by William Gilbert Irwin.
 In the summer of 1891 the Semet-Solvay by-product coking system was taken up in the United States by the Solvay Pro- cess Company. The erection of an experi- mental plant of twelve ovens of the Semet -Solvay type was at once begun at Syra- cuse, N. Y, and on January list, 1892, this experimental plant was put in operation. During that year extensive experiments at coking different American coking and semi coking coals by that system and the utilization of the by-products of coke making were conducted with uniform suc- cess.
 The first American coke manufacturing concern to adopt the new system was the Cambria Steel Company. In 1895 plant of fifty of these ovens was installed for this company at Dunbar, in the heart Of the Connellsville coking field, and since that time the plant has been in continuous successful operation; and an addition of fifty ovens is now being made to the plant. The excess gas from these ovens is util- ized at the Dunbar furnace of the com pany, and a considerable income is derived from the other bi-products utilized at the plant. In 1896 the Sharon Steel Company installed plant of twenty-five Semet Solvay ovens at sharon, Penn. Recently this company has completed a sS,000,000 steel plant and several hundred of the new ovens will be added to the original coking plant. The original plant of twelve ovens of the Solvay Process Company at Syracuse was increased to twenty-five ovens in 1896, and by that time contracts for the installation of plants In different coking fields were received by the com- pany.
 In 1897 plant of sixty Semet-Solvay ovens was built at Wheeling, w. Va, for the Riverside Iron Works, and the plant has been increased to 12O ovens and an other addition of 120 ovens Is to be made. The same years witnessed the installation of 12o Semet-Solvay ovens at EnsIey. Ala. for the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Co.,, and the following year ten ovens of the beehive system at Halifax, N. S.,
The age-herald., 1901-08-04

was in course of erection at Detroit, Mich, and several big plants of this type are planned for the different Canadian coal-fields. Altogether the Semet-Solvay retort oven has had a successful career in America and many plants are likely to be put in operation during the next few years.
 The American rights of the otto-Hoff- man system are controlled by the United States Coke and Gas Company of New York. The first plant of this system in America consisted of sixty ovens installed by the Cambria Steel Company at Johns- town, Penn., fn 1896. For some time con- siderable difficulty was experienced in their operation, owing to a lack of knowl- edge of the coal coked and of the condi- tions peculiar to the operation of the new system. However. as time passed all causes for complaint were removed and the ovens have been in very successful operation for soms years. An addition Of 100 ovens of the Otto-Hoffman type has been made at this plant and a further ad- dition of 1aO ovens is now under way. In 1897 and 1898 a plant of 120 Otto-Hofman ovens was installed by the Ptttsburs Gas and Coke Company at Glassport, Penn. While the primary object of this company is the manufacture of fuel and illuminat- ing gas, the coke product in the new ovens IS being used Wltn Inuch succSSs III lho furnaces and foundries of Ptttsburg. The New England Gas and Coke Company Is now operating plant of 400 Otto-Hoff- man ovens at Everett, Mass. and 800 ovens are to be added to this plant. A plant of 400 ovens of the same type has lately been installed by the Dominion Iron and Steel Company at Sydney Cape Breton.
 The installation of a plant of thirty New-Chambers retort ovens with appara- tus for the recovery of bi-products was made by the Latrobe Coal and Coke Com pany at Latrobe, Penn, in 1896. For some time the ovens were operated as hi-pro- duct ovens, but were not so successful as had been hoped. They are now operated without regard to the recovery of bi-pro- ducts. Two years ago fifty-six beehive ovens at Pocahontas, Va, owned by the Southwest Virginia Improvement Com pany, were converted to modified type of the Newton-C Chambers bi-product oven and since that time have been in success full operation. At Knoxville, Tenn sev- eral ovens of a new type, known as the Renewal retort have been installed but this process is yet in its experimental stage. At Pittsburg Jones & Laughlins

men are stationed every 800 yards along the track The kings private railway carriage cost S30000. The carpet alone cost s750, and the door handles the same price. The curtains are hung upon silver poles, which are suspended upon small gilt figures which cost $50 each. The king or any of his family never leave homo for a days journey without having among their luggage tHe proper habili- ments for wear in case any member of the family should die suddenly.
 The king has never shown the slightest fear of assassination, and his personal wrecklessness has sorely worried those re- sponsible for his safety.
 In the matter of gifts the king has been abundantly favored. They vary in size from cat to a hotel. Dogs, cats and other quadrupeds galore have been given or left to the king by request. His name has been mentioned in not far from 100 wills as the recipient of the family dog, and on more than one occasion an annuity has been left by 0 testator in order that the maintenance of the anil nal should be no expense to the royal master.
 One of the kings treasures is a solid gold dinner set. the most magnificent in the world. Another unique specimen of its kind belonging to Edward Is the state carriage, which cost $4o.0o0. In addition to being the most ornate vehicle in ex- istence, 1t is sad to be one of the most uncomfortable. Queen Victoria never used it when she could avoid doing so. as it always gave her a headache The royal yacht the Victoria and Albert, is said to be the finest pleasure yacht ever launched. A million and half dollars went to the building and fitting of 1t.

 The present prosperity has retarded the growth of the new ooking systems These new ideas are. however. certain to have a wide development In the; United States Sooner or later. American fuel users are rapidly coming to the idea of erecting coking plants close to fheir iron and steel manufacturing plants and the bi-produot ovens are best suited for this; and at tte same time there is a decided economy in the utilization of excess gas at tne ;n- dustrial establishments. s

Edward VII is rather light eater, ex- cept at dinner, and has never been great wine drinker. He seldom takes bread. specially prepared kind of toast being on the breakfast and luncheon ta- ble. The tea consumed at Marlborough cost five shillings and four pence a pound and was for long time known as Earl Greys mixture" this nobleman having recommended this particular mixture. This tea and some Gorgonzola cheese are always taken along when the king trav- els Wine in basketfuls of three dozen is sent from the cellars of St. James pal ace to wherever the king may be. this being done more for his household and guests than for himself The clerk of the royal kitchen, who always carves, re- ceives s350O per year, the head chef the same, and the confectioners $500 and one thousand persons, but some of the posts are sinecures. The lord chamber lain heads the list and a rat catcher, with a salary of $75 per year. brings up the rear The royal household costs in the aggregate f132 900 a year in salaries, while an average sum of f172000 a year is paid to "the butcher, the baker. the candle-stick maker" and the other trades people who feed the members of the household.
