Novel Substitute for Coal.

The latest and most novel substitute for
coal yet brought to public notice, is a COM
bination of fireproof terra-c Gotta brick and
kerosene oil. With one of the ordinary
terra-cotta bricks and with less than a
cents worth of kerosene oil a dinner car
be cooked, boiler heated and a room kept
comfortably warm for over an hour.
The fact that very porous bricks and
kerosene can be used for fuel in this way
has been known to brickmakers ever since
they began the manufacture of these bricks
1t remained, however, for a New York
man to set forth that if in an or binary fiat
hollow, terra-cotta brick is plunged in kero-
sene for a few seconds and then iignited 1t

FIRST TOUCH OF WINTER
FUEL QUESTION AGAIN BROUGHT
TO THE FORE
Soft Coal Selling at $40 ger Ton
Comments by Interested
III 10
Citizens. 81

The suggestion of wintert in the rather
frosty air yesterday brought'lto the front
again the coal question, which has not been
SO pressing during the past week of warm
weather In households, as. well as in the
public institutions, the lack Of the usual
coal supply has been for weeks past
cause Of anxiety. There has been little in
the situation to abate this anxiety. and now
that cooler days are at hand apprehension
is apt to become more acute;
. The men who are in close touch with the
fuel supply speak reassuringly this morn
ing and say that there Is really no ade-
quate reason for people to worry.
I'm the first place." said one of the lead
ing dealers, the supply of soft coal. coke
and wood. together with oil and gas. is suf-
ficient to provide all the heating needed in
houses for some weeks to come Then I
believe that the coal strike will be ended
very soon now. and the anthracite will
come in and there will be an abundance of
that fuel
In saying this" he went on. IT am
not overlooking the inconvenience and the
increased cost of living and all that the
present condition means to the various
classes In the community. But it seems to
me that it is not wise to add to this strain
constant worry as to how We are to get
through the winter"
Reports Made by Dealers
Other dealers report that their customers
are patient and accept the situation as they
find it. In the offices the clerks are kept
busy in receiving and sending out the or
ders which come in, and under the system
adopted of limiting the amount that
can be ordered at one time to go to the
same place it is possible to make pretty
general distribution of the fuel supply.
Soft coal is selling at so per ton where
as last spring the price was only 81 per
ton. There is good deal Of criticism of
the action Of the soft coal operators. as it
Is asserted. 81 or IS have been added to the
price of each ton at the mines. 1t is charged
that advantage has been taken Of the in
creased demand. as the coal costs no more
to mine, 1t is claimed, than 1t did before
the strike In the anthracite region.
Soft coal Is delivered in half-ton lots and
can be used in furnaces, and also in ranges.
West Virginia coke can also be obtained
oil and gas are available for sources Of heat.
hand knowledge said today to a Star re-
porter that he believed after the strike,
when anthracite coal was again in the mar
ket in this city. that 1t would be sold at
only about 80 cents advance per ton on the
prices which prevailed for such coal prior
to the strike. If that proves to be the case
the outlook for the winter for the poor Is
In this respect more promising than has
been supposed for 1t has been quite gen

the present high figures for the coming sea-

STORMS DO DAMAGE.
Report of Iowa Climate and Crop Ser
vice Bureau

Des Moines, July 22.-The week was
seasonably warm, with two to three
fair days for haying and harvesting on
dry upland. General rains occurred
from July II to 10, and severe local
windstorms with heavy downpours
swept over extensive areas in the
southwest south central southeast
and east central districts, causing dam
age to small grain, corn and hay crops
that cannot as yet be estimated
The most damaging effects were
wrought in the section southeast of q
line from Page to Dubuque; but nearly
all parts of the state suffered some
damage from excessive moisture. The
worst feature Of the crop situation is
noted in the reports from nearly all
districts that the grain crops are ready
to harvest and the fields are too wet to
be entered by harvesters. Oats are
badly lodged in one-fourth to one-half
of the area seeded. Wheat and oats
are generally well filled, and the dam
age by rust is not very great; but the
situation is critical, and normal
weather is imperatively needed to save
these crops. The reports indicate that
corn has suffered least damage and
the condition of that great staple in
well cultivated fields is still quite
promising. Much hay is yet uncut, and
much has been spoiled after being cur.
Pasturage is bulky but not in prime
condition for stock in the flooded re.
gions. Apples are badly windfalled in
many localities.

SURE DEATH TO MOSQUITOES.
Scientists Have Discovered a Com.
pound Which Will Extern,inate.

The people of Ottumwa who go
camping or live near the river will be
interested in what is claimed to be a
sure death for the mosquitoes. 1t is
useless to say that such find would
be received with great joy by those
who are compelled to dose up with
pennyroyal, peppermint or other sim
pie remedies in order to have any
peace or comfort when those insects
are abroad in the land.
The enjoyment of camp life is some
times spoiled on account of the mos
quito, and as the remedy seems very
plausible it is worth a trial.
Two and half hours are required
for mosquito to develop from it's first
stage, which is a small speck, to its
action and venomous maturity. 1t is
an agreeable fact that the insect in all
its stages may be killed instantly by
contact with minute quantities of per-
manganate of potash 1t is claimed
that one portion of this substance in
1900 of solution and distributed in
mosquito marshes will render the de,
velopment of larvae impossible. A
handful of permanganate will oxidize
a ten acre swamp, kills embryo in
'sects and keeps it free from organic
matter for thirty days at cost of %
cents; that with care whole state
may be kept free of the insects at a
small cost.
1t is a good plan to scatter a few
crystals far apart. A SINCE pinch OF
permanganate has killed all the germs
in thousand gallon tank 1t is claim
ed that the remedy has been tried at
Fort Dodge and that it is successful in
every way.
Mosquitoes have been great pest
the last few weeks, their unusual mum.

Any method which promises quick and
painless relief. as this does, will assur.
