but I had everybody else on the tee-hee.
Then I turned to a big clodpoll who
wore celluloid picture of his girl on his
coat-lapel. and slapping on the
breast-plate, relieved myself Of

it was up to me to do a fancy stunt on

Although thoroughly confident that his

Water rs Fuel.
New York SUM-

The problem Of finding a practical sub
stitute for hard coal, which. in view of the
scarcity Of the latter. is commanding the
thought of a great many people in this
country, has had several interesting solu-
tons, but it is doubtful if any of them has
been more novel or curious than that Of
a Boston gentleman, Mr.. A. c. Carey.
Mr.. Carey, who is described in the Bos-
ton Globe as skilled mechanic and the
patentee Of nearly one hundred inventions
of his own, proposes to use water, unmix-
ed with any other substance, as a fuel.
In demonstrating his idea. Mr.. Carey en-
pIoys the Bunsen burner, invented many
years ago by Professor Bunsen. of Heidel-
berg, and by means of this burner. he Is
able, it is claimed. to get flame as large
as pushed basket from a single drop OF
water. Some such tubular arrangement
as the Bunsen burner is necessary in or
der to generate heat sufficiently intense to
produce the desired result By allowing
the water to drip through the tiny flame
arising from this tube onto a piece of plat
mum, the gases contained In the water
are released and combustion follows. Any

tucked in your cozy. The piano-chair and
I sequestered after that, and then the
bojacks put in the rest of the time ask
ing one another to play something. But
nobody would cover the vacant spot.
Every now and then it would get quiet
and then some Josh would begin the time
killing quiz all over again. My, my! What
foolishness!
In these awkward f1ocks they ask each
other to play because they don't know
what else to say. Just like one man
meeting another who has been away, asks
him forty times when he got back.

cut loose one of the noisest noises that
ever clogged my auris. The kind of a
piece, you know. that a one-ring circus
band plays while Terrible Tatum, the
world-renowned chariot-rider. does the
spectack. She held down the loud pedal
as though she was afraid to let go of 1t,
and uncOrked runs and variations until
slipped my equlib and thought I was
next to steam-riveter. Himmel, how
she belabored that poor, old box, and on
the quadrilateral she didn't strike one
right note all through me. rough-Iouse.
Why is it that every time one of these
country danes sits up to the teeth of
piano she jumps into a Borneo two-step
or else tackles some difficult classical
frothing that a pianola flags at? I never
saw a squashtown lass yet that didn't
soak it to Chopin and all the other writer's
of musical refuses.
I felt kind of numb after the old girl
gave out and fearing that she would have
