Substitute for Coal.

Bricks bid fair to rival coal as a
fuel In this city. Thousands are burn
ing bricks soaked I'm coal oil. This
innovation is the invention Of a wOm-
an. One large porous brick soaked all
night In coal oil will burn Tor more
than two hours, and will warm a
house for nearly three hours. The
bricks can he used as often as desired.
Persons who have made the expert
ment are delighted and many Of them
say they will con tinue to burn oil In
this way in their cooking ranges even
after the coal strike is ended. Each
brick Is attached to piece OF wire
with a loop SO that 1t may be easily
handled. A very porous soft brick
will hold almosta quart OF oil.-Phil-
