A Very Funny Joke,

"The head Of our firm had trying
| experience one Fourth Of July" said q
commercial man. "He thought he
would play funny joke on his family,
50 a day or 50 before the holiday he
bought one Of those candy boxes made
in imitation Of a cannon frecrackcr.
He secreted this in the pantry, where
he thought It would be safe.
"But his little son, about eight years
old, discovered the firecracker and also
discovered that 1t was filled with can
dy. He helped himself to the contents
and finally, finding the box empty, he
made way with it and substituted a
real cannon cracker.
Fourth Of July came and the head
Of the family, smiling broadly, came
downstairs and placed his big frecrack-
er in the middle Of the breakfas table.
Then, regardless Of his wifes expostu-
latlOns, he touched a match to the fuse,
never thinking but what It was the
candy box on the table.
His son and heir astutely vanished
from the scene about this time. In
about thirty seconds there was an ex-
ploslon that wrecked a once happy
breakfast table, and one hour later the
worst spanked boy in Detroit had sob
bingly confessed to an irate father why
the joke had failed. ."-Milwaukee Sen

Why Crate Bars Give out.

The principal cause which contrib
utes to the rapid burning out Of ths
crate bars In a boiler is the action of
the furnace heat, which will in time de-
stroy any set Of CRATES, but the want
Of proper flow Of air through the
CRATES will cause overheating, whether
1t occurs through too little air space IN
the CRATES themselves or by these
spaces becoming obstructed through
any cause, thus preventing the cooling
effect Of the air on its passage to the
fire. Another reason is found In the
impurities of the coal and especially in
the chemical combinations Of sulphur
and iron, which impurities are found
in more or less quantity in all Goals.
The Practical Engineer says any coal
which forms an easily fused cllnker
will inJuriously affect the CRATES.
