A smokeless Century Coming.
rro,, tho Chicago Times-Herald.


Recent designs in furnaces and automatic
stokers reveal such gratifying progress in
solving the problem of smoke abatement as
to encourage the belief that the smoke
less city is not altogether dream, but
possibility of the twentienth century. In
fact, if we may judge from the progress
already made in perfecting devices. for the
consumption of smoke, there will be no
excuse for tolerating the "smoke nuisance"
for another decade Smoke is the volati
lized products of the combustion of coal or
wood or other fuel charged with fine par
ticles of carbon. The liberated gases and
the floating particles of unburned carbon
which constitute smoke represent wasted
material and energy. The problem of smoke
abatement is to perfect device that will
consume these products of combustion, and
at the same time utilize this force or ener-
gy that usually goes to waste.

HIS TRUE WORTH.
Arthur ]. Burdick, in Los Angeles Herald.

Arthur ]. Burdick, in Los Angeles Herald.
Fate threw him sop in the shape of some pelf.
And straightway the man fell in love with himself;
Grew arrogant, boastful looked down on mankind;
Imagined poor fool, he had greatness of mind.
The world paid him homage, its doors opened wide;
He staggered and struted, all sweled up with
pride
"The world recognizes my value" said he.
1t did-but his value in dollars. you see.
Fate danced him while on the end of her string;
Then, tired of the sport. she gave him fling,
And stripped of his tnsel. bereft of his cash.
He fell mid the rubbish-just ev'ryday trash.

A LETTER FROM FUNSTON.
His Views n Few Days Before Agui-
nnldo,s Capture

FORT SCOTT, Kans., April &c. w.
Funston from boyhood. has received a
letter from him. The letter was written
only few days before General Funston
captured Aguinaldo, but he mentioned
nothing of his plans. He spoke of the
expiration OF his commission in the, vol
unteer army on July l. and added: II
was not disappointed that 1 was not Civ
en- anything in the reorganization of the
regular army as j had no expectations.
One so young as myself who had never
been connected with the regular army.
could scarcely expect a brigadier gener-
alship in that body over many gallant old
men who have been in the service. some
of them forty years. l am heartily glad
that the increase in the regular army has
allowed adequate recognition after many
years of waiting to some of the splendid
officers that have been made brigadier
generals in the regular establishment dur
ing the past few weeks. My plans after my
muster out are somewhat uncertain.
though | have in view many good oppor-
tunities to do well myself
General Funstons letter is dated San
Isidro. Nueva Ecija. LuZon. and he
speaks of a great spontaneous demonstra-
tion there Washington's Birthday, par
ticipated in altogether by the natives of
that and surrounding towns as an evi-
dence of their approval of American rule
1t was his expressed opinion at that time
that the f'ilipinos would soon submit.
