NEW FUEL FROM REFUSE
Paper Pulp Furnishes Material Con-
vertible Into an Economical
Heat Producer. -.i

From the refuse of paper pulp mills
a new fuel which is said to possess
more heat units per pound than either
coal or wood and which can be manu-
factured and sold at a profit at one
half the cost Of coal. The refuse, re-
ports the Chicago Tribune, a combi-
nation of soda and lime, is mixed with
crude oil until the finished product has
a consistency of putty, being manu-
factured much as plaSterer makes
mortar. In this state it may be cut
with spade and thrown into the fur
mace or beneath the boiler, no kindling
being necessary, as the material ig-
mites readily from the flame Of match
and burns with an intense heat and
without smoke, except when under a
strong draft. It's success as a fuel for
domestic purposes was determined
some time ago, but not until recently,
when it was used beneath an engine
boiler, had it's value for manufacturing
purposes been demonstrated In this
test bushel basket of the fuel be-
meath a 16-horsepower boiler kept
steam up for eight hours, no clinkers
and little ash remaining after the fire
had burned down. Aside from the pos
sibility of cheaper fuel, the invention
is OF Importance in converting the
thousands of tons of refuse which ev-
cry pulp mill in the country turns out
annually into valuable by-product.

PERMITTED THE SUN TO SET
King of the East Coast of Africa
Granted His Permission
Each Day.

Zone Of the odd things that l saw in
the trip up the east coast of Africa
was the permission giver each day by
one Of the kings for the sun to set"
said T. A. Rose, who recently made
trip to South Africa, reports the Mil
waukee Sentinel. cat one Of the ports
where We stopped the soldiers were
drawn up on the parade ground before
the royal palace as the sun was set
ting. With pomp and ceremony the
ruler advanced to the front of the bal
cony on the second floor and majesti-
cally waved his hand toward the sun.
Zone of his subjects explained to
me that it was the royal sanction for
the sun to set. When asked as to
whether the ruler gave his permission
for the sun to rise III the morning, the
man replied that the sun must always
rise before the ruler, but that it could
never go down unless the royal hand
waved approval. The king who did
this was the sultan of Zanzibar.
81 hardly believed that he himself
was sincere in thinking that his per-
mission was necessary, for he was ed
ucated for four years at Harrow col
lege in England, but the performance
was to increase the belief among his
subjects in his divine origin

cHURcHLESS FOR 100 YEARS
Pennsylvania Town Dedicates It's
First House of Worship in
Over a Century.

Braddock, Pa.-Wallsborough though
13O years old and having 5000 inhabi-
tants, has just dedicated it's first church.
For 27 years Marlborough has been
the eastern terminal of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroads local service, and when
the Philadelphia and Greensburg turn
pike was built century and quarter
ago, it was the relay station between
Greensburg and Pittsburg.
1t has never, up to this time, had even
a mission, and circuit preaching was un-
known there. It's citizens stayed home
on Sundays up to 16 months ago, when
Rev. I. P. Truxal of this city went among
the neglected railroad men and started
q mission of the United Brethren
church The church to-day has 100
members. A pretty $4,000 brick and
stone church was consecrated free from
debt.

with an inspiration born of despair, had
wrenched the cudgel away and struck
with all his might at the dark shock of
hair silhouetted against the flames. The
grip on his throat relaxed: the huge
frame dropped and sank across his own
body.
For a moment he lay gasping for
breath; the air was thick with rolling
smoke and flying sparks With a su-
preme effort he dragged himself from
under his PROSTATE companion, crawled
to the door, pushed 1t open and stag

a Double
Murder y
By PERCY F.. REINCAkUM

TACE downward in the ditch that
bordered the road, half hidden by
the rank profusion of coarse grass and
nettles, lay an old man, his pockets
turned inside out, the back Of his gray
head battered in. A mile further along
the lonely country lane, the murderer
and eyewitness slouched sullenly along
through the glory Of the autumn after
noon.
The smaller Of the two walked a
pace or two in advance; slight, Wlry
little man, with blinking, nondescript
eyes and a dusty, struggling growth or
hair. His expression as he glanced
furtiyely back at his companion was
one of sheer, uncomfortable fear. His
clothes were Of the patched and ragged
description which marks the habitual
tramp.
His companion, evidently Of the
same class of wayfarer, was big,
powerful specimen of humanity, who
might have passed for more than
usually unkempt and unpictureslue
gypsy.
"Stop," he said, and the man il,
front obeyed.
''See that there pool?" said the big
man, when he had caught him up.
"Take this hyer stick an rinse it
there. Quick!"
The other peered at the article in
question and recoiled a step.
why? No, no! l won't! Il
can't! Do it YOURSELF"
AN let you gimme the slip an pitch
your yarn to the first person you
meet? Not ser bloomin' likely!
Ketch old of it, dyer hear? All right,
then; come along O. me an do it"
He held him in his powerful grasp
and the other, who seemed in half
paralyzed condition, allowed himself
to be marched off the road to where
the sinking sun turned the fiat sur
face of stagnant pond to a blood-red
disc. When the man had done what
he intended, there was a darker thread
of color on it's lifeless surface. Sit
down." commanded the big man. L
want few words with you. Sit down,
l tell yer! Now. Wait till l got my
pipe alight."
He pulled for few moments in a
sullen silence. Then he turned sud-
denly on his companion. "Who was
he?" he demanded.
"Who-what? Him." with a jerk Of
his head in the direction from whence
they had come. Il don't know who
he was. It's no use asking me any

be rousing affair. The usual prop

more in evidence than usual. Each
guest will receive neat and well
fitting coffin, and an unsurpassed view
of witches, skulls, ghosts and other
cheering adornments to the meal,
which will be eaten under open UNI
brellas and tilted ladders.

Colonization of East Africa by

rael Zangwill, the well known writer
to the movement in which the Inter

Zangwill pointed out that some of

movement fearing that their affili-

The story centers about Brooke
Travers and his velet, who leave New
York to escape prosecution. Travers
had knocked down an impudent cab
man and. believing him dead, fled
the country. On the steamer bound
for Porto Banes, Travers meets Col.
Bowie, an adventurer, who is going
to the little Central American Repub-
lie as United States Consul. But
when they reach port, the Colonel
learns that there is a pice on his head
so he does not go ashore. Travers
volunteers to impersonate Bowie as
Consul, and before he gets through
has revolution all his own. The
incidents are ludicrous and the whole
play is full of laughter and funny
situations. The engagement is for

Tonight will afford the lovers of
good hard boxing the best opportun-
ity to witness a real go between Jer-
ry Mccarthy and Jim Burrows. Both
men are fit and ready to go the full
distance of 20 rounds.
There have been many guesses that
the fight will not go beyond II or Is
rounds. The way it looks to me is
that if the knockout doesn't come
early it's going to be another dis
lance fight and a decision instead of
count will be needed.
Burrows will try his best for a
knockout-and let me tell you that
if he doesn't get that dreamland
punch in, his chances of winning are
about half as good.
Mccarthy is a great boy to go the
distance and win on points and If
Burrows allows Jerry to set the pace,
it going to be a decision instead of
knockout. That's the way the dope
looks to me, but as i said before, it
isn't a dollars difference either way,
so well are the men matched.
The seat sale in advance has been
exceptionally big and the indications
are that there will be only standing
room tonight. The big stage has been
filled with seats which have already
been taken and the downstairs is
practically sold out.
1t was finally decided today that
Eddie Quinn will referee the match.
Eddie is favored by the fighters and
is popular with the crowds who know
that the decision will be given on it's
merits and with knowledge of what
a decision ought to be.
