How LIQUID EueI 10 Used,

Those who have had no practical
experience in the use OF liquid fuel
are often surprised at the elaborate
ness of some Of the methods en-
ployed to secure efficient combus-
ton of the oil. One of the latest
is the 0rde system, which is en-
ployed for steamships. First, the
oil must be freed as perfectly as pos
sible from water. This is done BY
preliminary settling in a tank. From
the tank the oil is pumped under a
pressure of sixty pounds to the inch
into the burners. On its way it is
heated to temperature Just below
its boiling point, and then on emerg-
ing from the inner tube Of the burn
er it Is met by steam and air heated
to 600 degrees or more and thus is
entirely converted into vapor. In
this form it is sprayed into the
fame and consumed.

What the Vicar could do when everything was
propitious is to be seen in these verses, attuned

Yet know that they sojourn near.

They glide along this lovely ground
When the first violet grows
Their graceful hands have just unbound
The zone OF yonder rose.

Tightening Rods and Agents.

A thunder storm followed by a
lightning rod agent is apt to make a
man this summer weather.
According to the agent it is race
suicide as well as murder in the first
degree to live in a house without a
lightning rod, and there is none 9TH
er but his worth putting up. Light
ming rods are good things to have on
a house, but when a strand of barbed
wire costing about a dollar will give
all the protection you can get, what
is the sense in paying from $50 to
$50 for a twisted piece of metal with
a fancy ball and pronged fork at the
top that is no better?
Whatever you do don't sign a note
for a lightning rod. In ten cases out
of eleven the signer don't know what
he is binding himself to do.
When a lightning rod agent tempts
you, tell him you don't believe in
