Local organizations of hunters and fish
ermen have had various measures for tho

DETERIORATION OF COAL.
Claim Made That Fuel Kept in Free
Air Loses Much of Its Steam
ing Power.

The question of storing coal for fleets
has assumed such Importance that the
experiments made in England to over
come the deterioration due to continual
stowage possess a definite interest,
says the New York Herald 1t is
claimed that coal kept in free air quick
ly loses between 10 and 20 per cent Of
its steaming power, while coal deposited
under water in prepared basins suffers
but little loss. In the experiments I'M
dertaken at the suggestion of the adj
miralty coal that had been submerged
from three to ten years at the Alexandra
docks, Newport, and other specimens
that had drifted from wrecks into the
River Usk were submitted to compar-
alive test with the best fresh mined
Monmouthshire coal. The result was
that the Usk coal stood first and the
Alexandra dock second, both by sur
prising margin of superiority
Our experience in the Philippines,
where the conditions are especially Sc
we're, does not show the asserted deteri-
Grafton of 10 per cent. in II months, but
there is such a sensible loss in efficiency
that the new idea seems worth careful
examination. Submerged storage Is
cheap, and the coal, easily recovered
when needed, can be dried so speedily
by exposure to the sun that the danger
OF spontaneous combustion in the
bunkers is obviated. Coal is prime es-
sential OF war power, and we must
rather extend than diminish our efforts
to store it.

CAME OVER FROM EUROPE.
That Familiar Little Plant, the DandeIi0D
Is Not a Native.

F! Perhaps none of our plants is more
common or more familiar than the
dandelion, and certainly none is more
wonderful. First of all, 1t is not a ma
tive, but was introduced from Europe,
whence have come many of our worst
weeds, fitted by centuries of struggle
10 cultivated field to overcome the ma
tive plan 9 of continent where Guilt
walton had previously been unknown,
and where natives had had no oppOr-
tunity of adapting themselves to the
conditions of civilized agriculture.
One of the dandelion's strongest
points is the ability to obtain nourish-
ment under strong competition and in
'n~favOra BILE situations. A deep, strong,
perennial taproot draws all available
nourishment and moisture from sur
face and sub soil, stores nOurishment
during the winter, and enables the
plant to start far and away ahead of
most of its competitors. The dande-
lion blossom is one, of the very first to
appear in the fields. This same tap
root is exceedingly bitter, which very
likely protects it from destruction by
moles and other animals. AT least,
do not remember having seen a root
that had been disturbed by animals of
any kind.
But only small portion of it's food
comes from the soil. Air and sun.
shine are just as necessary. for the air
Is food and the sunshine is digestion
for our vegetable neighb ors. Note the
shape of the leaves; narrow at base and
widening to the outer end, they form
q dense rosette that not only gets for
the dandelion all the air and sunshine
coming its way. but smothers all by
the most sturdy competitors. Here
lies the secret of the dandellon's pres
ence in lawns and walks and open
waste places. In lawns the grass is
kept low, so that it cannot overtOp and
snade the dandelion, while its own
leaves lie SO low and close that they
are little hurt by the mower and can
the grass underneath.-A. j.

NEEDED SCIENTIFIC REFORM.
Men Trained to Precision in Observa.
ton and Utterance Should
Learn PunctuaIity,

With the latest opening of the season
of medical, electrical and other scien-
tlfic conferences, familiar character
istic of such meetings is brought into
fresh prominence, says the New York
Tribune. The members are rarely
called to order until ten or fifteen min
utes after the appointed time, Not in
frequently the delay is greater. Similar
hardness may be observed in formally
opening the proceedings of charitable
and social organization, and such laxity
is not without it's drawbacks. Comment
is confined here, however, to the group
of gatherings first named, because a
lack of punctuality among scientific
people is, after fashion, inconsistent
with that eXactness of thought and
statement which the world expects
from them and on which they OCCASION
ally pride themselves. Men who are
trained to precision in observation and
utterance might reasonably be expect
ed to be exceptionally scrupulous in
keeping engagements. Any shortcom-
ings in this respect become even more
conspicuous when a comparison is
made with the prOmptness with which
bank directors meetings and church
services begin, to say nothing of the
aters and symphony concerts.
