The Continued story.

81 never let man die Mt the end of a
chapter" the historian Freeman once
said. "because Johnny Green told me not
to-" The modern continued story ex-
emplfies a like theory of pausing at the
very brink OF an absorbing event We
sometimes complain Of novel which
runs n year scrially. Let US think on
our mercies.
The first two parts of the "Astrec,"
one of the most famous of French nov
els, were published In 1910. An admir-
ing public waited four or five years for
the third part and several more for the
fourth and fifth parts.
At the same time lived Mile. de Sou
derry, memorable as the author of the
first romances Of any note written by a
woman. She composed and published by
installmcntS novels Of length unknown
to the feeble readers of today. Every
story was originally issued in patches OF
small octayos, sometimes running to n
score or so. Mr.. Vincent describes her
rs "the most pitiless writer of fiction
that the world has ever known"
The same seventeenth century Illus
trates again the willingness of French
writers to bide their time. The poet
Malherbe wished to console friend on
the death of his wife, BY the time the
poem was finished the gentleman had
been consoled, remarked aud was him.

If the bank was able to pay, they
didn't want their money, and they said
so. But George wouldn't have it tina:

soon as the ten thousand dollars had
been transferred from the dray to the
banks counters, he threw the doors
wide open and told them to come ahead
and get their money.
The depostors held back, however;
there was but the one bank in town,
and if they drew out their money they
would haye no place to put it, but
would have to carry it around with
them. This they did not want to do,
and one and all begged to be allowed to
leave their money ON deposit.
"No useW cried the youthful Napo-
leon of finance; "vou'd be back tomor

Ten minutes later, Mr.. Morgan,

THE MAKING OF COKE.
How 1t Is Produced md the Uses to
Which 1t Is Put.

L
Which 1t Is Put.
81 am often asked" said a Wilkes
barre man Mt the Fifth Avenue hotel,
"what coke consists Of and to what uses
it is put. Coke is coal with the volatile
matter burned off, what is left being al
most wholly fixed carbon. To reduce coal
to coke the coal is put into specially con-
structed ovens and allowed to burn for
about SO hours. Only sufficient air is ad-
mittcd to the oven to keep the fire going,
and this air is only allowed to pass over
the surface of the coal. At the end of 3G
hours the volatile matter in the coal will
have been consumed, and the resduum is
called coke. 1t is gray in color and is
puncturcd with airholcs. Coke is fire.
quently manufactured as q byproduct,
and great saving is thus effected. This
is especially so In the manufacture Of gas,
where the heat obtained from the yola-
tile matter is sufficient for the purposes
needed.
Coke was originally discovered and
brought into use in the manufacture of
iron. TO manufacture iron what is known
as welding heat must be obtained.
When you go into a blacksmth's shop,
you will notice that the blacksmith in
heating the iron upon which he is Mt
work plunges It into the deep, red bed OF
GOALS through which the artificial blast
produced by the bellows rushcs. He gets
his welding heat in this lower, deeper col
ored fame He could not obtain 1t in the
fame above. When a welding heat was
needed originally in the manufacture Of
IRON charcoal was used.
but charcoal, while effective, was very
expensive and made iron costly and more
or less limited in its use. Consequently,
when anthracite, with its 95 per cent of
carbon and but 5 per cent Of volatile mat
ter, was discovered iron manufacturers
eagerly substituted it for charcoal, there
by reducing the cost of producing iron
and proportionatcly increasing its use.
But anthracite, while cheaper than char
coal, had mighty drawback. 1t was not
porous, and 1t was difficult to force q
blast though it..
'ln the manufacture of iron wind Is n
vital necessity. Tons and tons Of wind
in the form of q blast are consumed for
each and every ton of iron manufactur-
ed. The density of anthracite made it
difficult to force the blast through and in
terposcd a serious and detrimental OBJ
stacle to its use. Then some one discov-
cred coke, which answered all require
ments. 1t was cheap. 1t gave welding
heat. And best of all, being porous, 1t
gave free ngrcss and egress to the vital
ly necessary blast. Some coal is Of 80
poor a character that you cannot get
welding heat from it, try as you may.
For example, at the blacksmith shops in
the coal mines in Colorado they have to
use coal brought from eastern mines to
get welding heat, it being utterly i'm.
possible to get it from the Colorado COAL

When the University of Chicago, some
years ago, was drawing on eastern col
lege faculties for its staff. one of the men
whom it obtained was w. G. Hale. pro-
fessor Of Latin at Cornell. Professor
IIales family packed up their household
goods and prepared to migrate. The
5-ycar-old daughter Of the house was in
tears at parting from her playmates and
seemed to feel that the foundation Of
everything was being shaken. When 1t
came to the family's last night in their
dismantlcd home, she knelt at her little
bed to say her prayers. When she came
to the "amen," she uttered q fervent
"goodby."
why do you say goodby?" her mother
asked in surprise.
"Why, mamma" was the reply, "of
course God knows that we're going to
Chicago tomorrow."-NewY York Sun.
