Coal Is Still SuDreme

The tendency to spontaneous com.
bustion of coal when stored In bulk
in masses of, say, 1000 tons or there.
abouts-may appear to be a somewhat
unusual point to make in favor of the
gas engine as large size power unit
for central station work. 1t was, how.
ever, made as such recently by cen.
trail station engineer, whose contention
was that the nearly always present
danger Of spontaneous ignition in the
large reserve stock of coal expedient
for a power station of any considera.
BILE size to carry, to tide over possible
temporary Interruptions in the supply
from strikes or other causes, was en-.
tirely eliminated by the use of gas
engines which took their gas from cen.
trail gas plants.
Curiously, however, the fact appears
here to have been overlooked that with
the large gas engine plant will come
as an almost inseparable adjunct, the
gas producer, taking the place Of the
steam boiler now accessory to the
steam engine installation, so that the
large coal pile will remain in evidence
as before, and the spontaneous igni'
ton troubles as well, even with GER
tain precautions against them, in the
way Of selecting and storing the COAL
Experience in some cases has dictated
the safe height to which coal of GER
tain sulphur percentage may be bank
ed, but this height will vary with some
other governing conditions easily
enough imagined. The gas engine
therefore, will, after all, have to de-
pend for favorable consideration upon
its several other well known good
points rather than upon the one men
toned in the opening lines Of this
paragraph.

President Roosevelt says the one and
main lacking of the American boys Ia
conservatism. By this he means, doubt
less, that American boys are lacking
in solid qualities, that they do
not believe in the good old vir-
tues, that they are prone to set
their own pace, disregarding ad-
vice. The President Is mistaken.
The average American boy is your true
conservative. Attack his mothers re-
ligton or the institutions of his ccun-
try and you will find out. The average
American boy has been well brought
up. And he believes in certain things
with all his heart. Mischievous? Yes.
Restless2 Yes. Loud sometimes? Yes.
But you are mistaken If you conclude
that under his boyish gaiety there are
no well-settled convictions. He may
be by conduct radical, but in princi-
pie and belief he is a slayer. And
even though he may depart for time
from the teaching Of his family he will
return to 1t. American boys are the
finest In the world. They wake up to
intellectual power the quickest. They
are capable of greater enterprises at
an earlier age; they bear heavier bur-
dens on younger shoulders; they are
the largest wage earners; they are the
most ndependent-acting; and withal,
they are made of the stuff of which the
grandest and highest type of manhood
comes. Because, while the American
boy is apparently light-hearted and
care-free he Is notnecessarily frivolous.
There Is q vein Of true ore in him which
a little mining will disclose. Sooner or
later innate manhood will appear. At
bottom he is all right. Give him good
home training and show for his life
and he will make a man of himself.
The youths Of other lands may seem
more solid and conservative. 1t Is be-
cause they are more stolid in tempera-
ment. They are less jovial and prank
ish because they are slower in develop
ment. The American boy has initia-
tive. He sees quickly. That puts him
in the race before his cousin across the
sea gets started. But he has staying
qualities also and he wins In the long
run because of those qualities. If the
Presidents idea of conservatism in
boys is that our FESTIVE youngsters
should sit still and let moss grow on
their backs then the American boys are
not conservative.

Life Easy on This Railroad.

There Is small railroad in Michigan
which doesn't figure on the map. 1t is
only forty miles long and meanders
through the countryside in a casual
sort of way, touching such brisk vii
lagos as Parsons Mills, Sleepy Corners
and Applicable. Trains do not run on
this road-they creep The locomotives
appear to be heirlooms of antiquity,
say Of the year 1000 B. O., and the an
tediluvian rolling stock suggests the
ark. The road Is operated on the good
old easy-going principle that haste
makes waste, and it Is said, doubtless
with malicious exaggeration, that a
COW once poked her head through the
car window and ate all the lunch In a
picnic basket while the train was going
by.
One day a woman and her little boy
took trip on the road By the time
Dandeliondale and the Junction were
passed the pair had succumbed to en-
nui and slumbered in their seats.

In population the Russian Empire
surpasses Japan nearly threefold. Ae-
cording to the census Of 1897 the en-
pire had 129,562,719. Within the last

has been tremendous. In 1915 1t was
estimated at 45,OOO,OOO. At the pres

FEED CALVES cOD.LVER OIL
Animals Make Great Gains on This
Kind of Nourishment.

An attempt is being made to substi-
tute cod-liver oil for the natural fat
of milk in feeding calves, according to
the Philadelphia Record. Milk con-
tains, as is generally known, all the
nutrients necessary for the full de-
velopment of young animal life. If
one of these elements Is removed it
has to be replaced with a substitute
of like kind in order to insure thrifty
development. Butter fat and cream,
OF course, are the most highly priced
and valuable of dairy products and
some resourceful individual suggested
that these might be extracted by press
ing the whole milk through a separa-
tor and their loss be made up to the
calf by adding an equivalent amount
of cod-liver oil, another fat nutrient.
Experiments have accordingly been
In progress for some time atone of the
agricultural colleges in Yorkshire and
recent reports seem to indicate that
they are entirely successful. There is
but little labor involved. The cod
liver oil and skim milk is a cheaper
feed than the whole milk and the
calves appear to thrive on it. During
a feeding experiment embracing some
% weeks it was found that the average
daily gain Of the calves fed on whole
milk until they were weaned was 2
pounds; those fed on skim milk and
oil and continued on an oil ration. "a
pounds, while those which had been
fed oil and milk but. from which the
oil was subsequently withheld gained
only 81 pounds.
On slaughtering the animals no in
furious effects on the flesh could be
discovered. The daily ration that ap-
peared to be successful was made up
Of FIVE quarts Of skim milk and two
ounces Of cod-liver oil. Fortunately
the calves do not develop that aversion
to cod-liver oil which is natural to most
human beings, but, on the contrary,
readily become accustomed to it.

evil ways, and are corrupted thereby
out OF all likeness to their former
selves. Take "garble," for instance.
1t used TO mean ITO select for a pur-
pose" There was once an officer
called the garbler of spices, whose bus.

anime the spices, and order the de-
struction Of all impure goods. His
duties were similar to those of the
modern health department inspector
who forbids the sale Of decayed vege-
tables or t6inted meats. The word
comes from root meaning to sift.
The impurities sifted out have in the
course of generations corrupted the
term till "garbled report" IL no long
er report from which all uncertainty
has been removed, but one which is
full OF Misrepresentation and made
misleading with deliberate intent. The

similar Transformation in our very
sight. 1t describes the color Of sun
light or Of beaten gold, Of the butter
cup or of the dandelion. But not many
years ago one Of the sensational news

called-wearing long yellow gar

week after week, till men began to
use the term yellow Journalism"
when they desired to describe the jour-
nalism that was sensational, coarse
and vulgar. Now we have yellow pol
itics and yellow preaching, yellow
baseball and yellow warfare, and it
has got SO that when one Is told that
a woman wore a yellow gown to a
party one does not know whether the
color Of the gown is meant or its ex-
treme vulgarity. Never was there a
better illustration OF the truth Of the
saying that a word Is known by the
company it keeps.

1t il hardly too much to say that
Edward VII. has done more to assure
the peace Of Europe than all the other
European statesmen put together. His
action has had vastly greater effect
than that Of the Gear with his Harue
tribunal. Not since the Crimean war
have England and France been SO close
together. The new treaty between
those powers removes from the t,eld
many Of the vexed questions between
the two countries. In North America
and Africa the relations between them
have been 50 well defined as to make
conflict impossible. Further, the in
iuence OF King Edward has been
steadily exerted to promote friendly
relations with France, and 1t is be-
cause OF this preliminary work that
the treaty became possibility.
