and suggests a long line OF interesting
comments and comparisons, the important
point of the paragraph quoted is that re-
lating to residences. Mr.. Carnegie would,
1t seems, have dwellings made subject to
a restrictive law. This adds another wor-
rying factor to an already vexatious prob
lem. 1t has been very clearly demon
strated here in Washington, with one of
the most drastic laws imaginable exact
ingly enforced, that 1t is impossible for
the business-furnace owner to comply with
a strictly prohibitive statute, save, per-
haps by the of anthracite coal. Hard
coal costs the Washington furnace owner
so heavily, owing to discriminating freight
rates. that bituminous coal is an absolute
necessity. After many experiments which
have cost the furnace owners thousands OF
dollars, they find themselves unable to COM
ply at all times with a law which in its own
terms prohibits any dense smoke emission
whatever and by virtue of an administra-
tive Interpretation grants a one-minute mar
gin. If business furnaces cannot be kept
in check sufficiently to meet such law,
how would it be possible for residential
furnaces to be placed upon a non-smoking
basis IT, as alleged, they are the chief
offenders?
1t is a well-established fact that here In
Washington the greatest volume of the
skyfouling smoke comes from the rail-
road locomotives. If they were placed upon
a hard-coal or an electric basis Washing
ton would largely reduce it's smoke nui-
sance and in comparison with other cities
it would have little to worry about. Mr..
Carnegie Is right about the virtue of an
thracite as a cure for the evil, but the
compulsory use of anthracite in all the
cities of the United States would rapidly
a rise in price which would make
that fuel DrOhbitiye In cost

Mad Auto, Vengeful Horse.

Men. dogs and March hares are not the
only creatures that go mad. There Is no
doubt that a mad man Is madden than a
March hare, because this has been so
often said without contradiction that IL
must be accepted. OF course. the accept
ance of a belief does not establish its
truth, for time out of mind, great error
has had great vogue. But to prove that
there are other mad things besides men.
dogs and March hares it is only neces-
sary to turn to the pages of the current
public prints.
First, there is the mad automobile

watched the progress of the exciting
contest.

could play $50 on the center row of

At times there was as much as
$4,000 in sight, and as the fortune of
the player and the game, ebbed and

to watch the intense struggle. Play
ers from other saloons quit their
games to go over and watch this game
to the finish.
At ] O'Clock this morning, after

shining $50 gold pieces into the cof-
fers of the game, he picked up his
last two twenties and slipped them
into his vest pocket, saying as he did
so: II still have enough left to start
another game on"
When the player arose from the
chair he was 'groggy" from the long
struggle, and acted like drunk man,
although he does not touch liquor
while playing.
