Franklin's Pennsylvania Fireplace

Apert A. Cary delivered an address
recently before the American Society
OF Heating and ventilating Engineers
ae fnuaoeiphia on the work of Ben
,amin Franklin as heating engineer,
the nrst man in America to design
a stove intended to save our supply
OF wood which in those DAYS had Ia
De brought in many cases -one hun
dred miles to town." as the economi-
cal Franklin observed. Mr.. Cary
points out that the Franklin stove
was not the mere iron fireplace that
mas masqueraded under his name. but
1t was an apparatus that took cold air
from outside the house and after
warming it in passages kept hot by
tne escaping gases of the fire, finally
discharged it into the room. Mr.. Cary
believes that II this old original
Franklin fireplace had been enlarged
and slightly altered and placed in the
cellars of our houses, 1t certainly
would have become a prototype of all
our hot-air furnaces.
The papers concerning Franklin's
experiments and achievements will he
printed by the society in order that
al he had to say on this important
subject may be preserved, together
with the accompanying plates of
sketches and drawings. Franklin

ARlsrocRATs TO STUDY PLATO
Latest Fad to Be Taken Up by Lon
don Society.

Having tried palmistry. crystal gaz-
ing. Christian Science, bridge and par
ty politics, London society is about to
study Plato. A dozen or so leading
women of the arlstocracy, including
the Duchess of Sutherland and the
Duchess of Marlborough, have formed
a committee to organize the philo-
sophie movement, and DR.. Emil Reich,
the well-known historian who lectures
in the London university, is to give a
series of addresses at Claridges ho-
tel. to be followed by discussion in
which the peeresses will take part. 1t
is expected that this will be merely
the prelude to the formation of phil
osophic circles in other grades of So
ciety and that the study of Plato will
before long become an established
feature of London.

LABOR NEWS AND COMMENT.

Labor in it's might is most powerful,
and if all the workers would move
staunchly forward on the lines laid
down by the national union, there
would be no need of strikes and boy
colts. In fact, organized labor holds
the fate of the greedy capitalist in the
hollow of it's hand. Let those who labor
stop purchasing any of the goods he
manufacturers and note how soon the
will come to terms. If three million
buyers would stop purchasing certain
make of shoes or a brand of coffee
don't you think that there the power
lies?
If you are an active member of the
union you must be one of the "clique"
that the non-attenders harp about.
Don't get discouraged: the accom-
plishments of organized labor have
placed it where every knock is a boost.
The under hirelings of the main boss
are the ones that make the petty dis
putes between the men and the firm.
A safe method for the manufacturer
is to select his foremen and superin-
tendents from the ranks of the work
ers and thus avoid all petty dissa It's
faction from lack of tact in college and
trade school foremen and superintend-
ents.
Only union men will be supported
for a political office hereafter. step
in the right direction; stride toward
securing labor's rights. A move on the
the part Of the American Federation Of
oh0 oFt
years of reflection and earnest atten-
ton to the details Of our government.
And noting its continued corrupt poll
tics-the man who moves the world
the workingman-is now to come to
the front and no longer be the silent
partner but one Of the directors that
earnes his salary.
Will 1t be necessary for labor to con-
vert the hide-bound Republican or
Democrat to thinking for himself?
There are some men that no matter
who is on the ticket, nor how corrupt
he may be that will vote for him be-
cause he is a Republican or q Demo-
crat. Their fathers before them voted
the Republican or Democratic ticket
and they must follow suit. Probably
their fathers before them also worked
for SO cents a day (and many Of them
did) but would you do it because father
did?
There has been a great deal of talk
about the American Goose" and we
find that he is not yet extinct, for there
are many of them following the parties
today. Just as soon as the public be-
gins to think and select the man be-
cause Of his ability for the position and
not because of party love. then will
