AN ECONOMICAL GENIUS
Woman Poured Water on Coal Fire to
Save the Coal,

From the Detroit Free Press.
There have been scores Of suggestions In
the newspapers this winter as to how to
save COAL" said a resident Of Sd avenue
over his downtown lunch yesterday, and
my wife has tried them ali, even to the
last. Every fire alarm has filed my soul
with fear, and every time have gone home
I have wondered If 1 should find her living
or dead A week ago she got hold Of
newspaper which said that II salt water was
thrown upon the coal while 1t was burning
it would save at least one-half the coal
We have no furnace, but run two base
burners instead. My wife made up dish
pan full of strong salt water, to give the
latest scheme a fair test. When left the
house the other evening she opened the
stove door on roaring fire and heaved the
contents of the pan into the stove
Il think she saved half the coal-for that
day at least. OF course, the water was
converted into steam in a wink Of your eye,
and, of course, there was a puff that blew
the top Of the stove to the ceiling the door
off its hinges and my genius of wife
across the room and under the lounge. Pic
lures fell, the stovepipe came Gathering
down. and when / got word by telephone
and FASTENED home it looked as If a cyclone
had been toying with that old sitting room.
For week to come my loving and eco
nomical genius will have her face and
hands sWathed In sweet oil rags, and / cal
culate 1t Will be at least a month before
the salt sea smell will have vanished from
the house. Domestic economy is a blessed
good thing, but for the rest of the winter
We VIII take 1t out in peeling the potatoes
down fine and not try to save anything on
COAL"

Quick Telegraphy.
e New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune:
At a recent test in Germany of the Pol
lak-virag system Of telegraphy, a speed Of
$1,000 words an hour was attained. In
transmitting this system, like, other fast
systems, uses a strip Cef paper previously
punched with holes representing dots and
dashes. The most novel feature of the sys-
tenn is the method of receiving. The in
coming electric impulses causes thin strip
Of metal, resembling telephone diaphragm,
to vibrate and thus move tiny mirror at
tached thereto. A slender beam Of light
from an incandescent lamp falls upon the
mirror, and is reflected thence to a strip of
photographically sensitive paper. which is
steadily unrolled by clockwork when mes
sages come. Chemicals for development
being applied, the paper exhibits a contin-
uous dark line, with upward projections for
dashes and downward ones for dots The
message must then be deciphered and the
translation must be written out.

becomes important to others. since to
meet the requirements of the well In

manufacture must be Of the most per-

excellent Of Its kind. The above Is true
not Of food products only, but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly. quarter of a century Of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted. throughout the world, as the

due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-

TO SAVE THE FISH
WEST v1Ra1N1la BASS TO BE
GIVEN A CHANCE.
A Law to Preve1A the Pollution of
Streams by efuse From
Mills and anneries.

All persons intereste6 in preserving the
purity of the great stfeams Of this region
and preventing pollution Of the same by
tanneries. saw mills md pulp mills will be
glad to know that tie West Virginia leg
islature at IT'S recent session passed an
act prohibiting firms or persons from
throwing in or allowing to enter any
stream in this state, any sawdust or other
matter deleterious to the propagation Of
fish,"
In the opinion Of the projectors of the
new law, its scope Is wide enough to In
clude tanneries within the inhibition, but
certainly it applies to pulp mills. The West
Virginia people are mainly concerned in the
pollution of the streams by sawdust, while
the Potomac river protectionists have most
to dread from tanneries and pulp mills.
At the present time the tanneries and
pulp mills which do the most damage to
the waters and fish of the Potomac river
are located on the West Virginia SIDE The
new law will be invoked against them,
without doubt, and will be tested in the
courts, as the promoters of the law are
very much in earnest. 1t will not do the
owners of the alleged public nuisances any
good to move their tanneries and pulp
mills across the river, for the Maryland
authorities are on the lookout and will
come down on them with heavy hand, as
they have done in the past.
So the prospect would seem to be good for
eventually driving off the river these
sources Of pollution to the waters and pos
sfble menaces to the public health. Incl
dentally, the bass fishermen Of these parts
will be very much pleased.
Washington Is interested in the new law
Of the West Virginia legislature. There
are two pulp mills near Harper's Ferry,
one on the Shenandoah and one on the
Potomac, but both in West Virginia. Eff
forts have been made in the past to induce
these mills to destroy their refuse instead
Of dumping 1t into the river to decompose
and poison the water
One of the pulp mills desisted from the
practice for awhile but soon resumed. 1t
was claimed that the experiment of strip
ping the timber in the woods was failure,
inasmuch as the fiber of the timber, which
determined its value for paper-making pur-
poses. became discolored by exposure to the
elements when stripped in the woods.
1t has been urged, however, that 1t Is en-
tirely feasible for the pulp mills to destroy
the refuse by burning 1t at the mill instead
of turning it loose on the waste-way. AT
any rate the pulp mills may be confronted
with the alternative Of taking that course
or facing the penalties Of the new law.
Above Harper's Ferry, on the Potomac,
are numbers of tanneries, whose deadly
refuse empties into the water, discoloring
it for miles below the tannery and driving
out the fish. An immense tannery between
Hancock and Cumberland turns the water
a dark color for four or five miles, and not
a fish Is found within that area. Above the
tannery bass are plentiful.

The discovery OF Hyomei has wrought n
