penatured Alcohol in Germany.

rThere are over 5000 private factor
les in Germany distilling alcohol from
potatoes, 1000 of which are the main
stay of the estates on which they are
situated]
Berlin, Aug. 17.-The distillation of
alcohol has for many years been an
important feature of agricultural life
in Germany, the annual production for
the whole empire being, even twenty
years ago, about S0,OO0,0O0 gallons.
Quite so per cent Of the alcohol is dis
titled from potatoes, the remainder be-
ing obtained from grain, fruit and the
by-products of the sugar and beer in
dustries.
Up to about ten years ago the al
cohol thus obtained was consumed at
home in the form of spirituous liquors,
and was exported in its raw state in
large quantities. Since 1887 denatured
alcohol. to be, used for technical pur-
poses, has been free of duty, and the
export of alcohol, except in the form
of spirituous liquors, has very consid-
erably fallen Off On the other hand,
the amount of alcohol used for xeohni-
cal purposes has increased more than
500 per cent since that date
About 5000, 900 gallons of alcohol are
consumed annually in the manufacture

of celluloid, varnish, etc, and ABOUT a.
100000 gallons in the manufacture OF
vinegar. increasingly large quantities
are being used also In the manufacture
of smokeless powder. but 1t is in the
generation of power, light and heat
that the German alcohol producers see
their most promising future.
Some seven years ago an association
was formed with the object Of finding
means to dispose to the best advantage
of the alcohol produced by it's mem
bers. The kaiser himself furthers Its
cause The association settles the
price to be paid to the producer for the
raw material, and the price at which 1t
is sold to the public, and 1t has also
to take measures to guard against ov-
reproduction. 1t demonstrated to the
public the advantages of alcohol as q
power, light and heat producing agent.
A lamp to consume alcohol instead
of petroleum for use in private homes
has been placed on the market, and Is
selling by tens of thousands AT Il
cost of no more than the cost of petro-
leum 1t &ives a steady light of Az
candle power. The flame gives off lit
tie heat, the light is white, brilliant
and yet soft; there Is no smell, and the
lamps can not get dirty. 1t has been
proved that there is no danger of ex-
plosion Different forms of lamps with
higher candle power are made for
lighting railway Stations, puplc
streets, farm buildings, etc.
Equally successful efforts have been
made to introduce a type of motor to
be driven by alcohol. The alcohol mo-
tors are both stationary and mobile,
and are employed chiefly for supplying
power for farm machinery, pumps, saw
and other mills and electric light
plants. In 1904 they consumed soo,ooo
gallons of alcohol.
To encourage it's use the association
has made a special price for alcohol
used for motors, about 10 cents per
gallon. Transport wagons driven by
alcohol are also made capable of draw
ing a load of six tons. Alcohol auto
mobiles are undergoing severe tests at
the hands of the German military au-
thorities.
Alcohol is used Furthermore in Ger
many for multitude of smaller DO
nestle purposes and the consumption
is rapidly increasing.
1t has been calculated that the crop
of potatoes produced on two and one
half acres Of land yields alcohol SUI
ficient to light twelve street lamps tor
twelve months. or to drive 5-horse
power alcohol motor ten hours per day.
excepting Sunday, for three months.

ANNA HELD SHOCKS CLERGY.
Shapely Little Actress Appears in OAR
ina Dance on Shipboard.

New York, Aug. 17.-When the Kali
ser wilhelm H., which arrived Tues
day. was nearing Sandy Hook, Anna
Held participated in a concert which
was given in the salon and did skirt
dance which gave offense to several
clergymen on board.
After Miss Held had lifted her toes
for a few moments the ministers left
the salon and protested to the ships
officers. They declared that steam>
er was no place to give such an exhi-
bition. Miss Held called it the ''Mat-
les'' dance.
The clergymen did not officially pro-
tain said that he did not hear of the
matter until the concert was practical
ly over. He had taken no part in ar
ranging the program, he said.
Miss Held has been studying abroad
for two years She will appear in a
new play, "The Partisan Model" in
this city i'm Nov. Florenz Ziegfield,
her husband, said that Anna had been
injured, in an automobile accident
while abroad, but that she was now
in excellent health.
Ziegfield told the story of the visit
by some of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's
friends to Stanford White, which may
have been the immediate cause of the
killing of White. Ziegfield went to
Europe on the same ship that carried
Hattie Forsythe, the chorus girl friend
of Thaw's wife. In midocean Miss
Forsythe received a wireless message
stating that Stanford White had been
killed by man named Harry SHAW"
",rhat must be Harry Thaw," Zieg-
field says Miss Forsythe told him.

Ziegf1eld won two pools amounting
to $1,000 on the ships run.

"She must be very attractive" There
was no venom in Peggy's heart.
"She is attractive. In fact, she's one
Of the best, Peggy" he said, paving the
way.
Its too bad she seems to care for
that little duke"
Hes a bounder," he argued.
"Well, don't take 1t to heart. You
don't have to marry him." And Peg.
gy laughed.
But l do take it to heart. Peggy"
said Monty seriously. I'm pretty hare
hit, and want your help. A sisters
advice is always the best in matter
Of this sort"
She looked into his eyes duly for an
instant, not realizing the full impor-
lance Of his confession.
You, MontyT' she said incredulously
1--WE got it bad, Peggy" he replied,
staring hard at the floor. She could
not understand the cold gray tone that
suddenly enveloped the room. The
strange sense of loneliness that came
over her was inexplica BILE. The little
something that rose In her throat
would not be dislodged, nor could she
throw of the weight that seemed press
ing down upon her. He saw the odd
look in her eyes and the drawn, uncer-
tain smile on her lips, but he attribut-
ed them to wonder and incredulity.
Somehow after all these years he was
transformed before her very eyes. She
was looking upon new personality.
He was no longer Montgomery the
brother, but she could not explain how
and when the change crept over her.
What did it all mean? II am very
glad if it will make you happy, Mon
IT," she said slowly, the gray in her
lips giving way to red once more,
'.Does she know?"
II haven't told her in 30 many
words, Peggy, but-but I'm going to
this evening" he announced lamely.
''This EVENING"
II can't wait" Monty said as he rose
to go. I'm glad you're pleased, Peg
~. I need your good wishes. And,
Peggy" he continued, with a touch of
boyish wistfulness, do you think
there's chance for fellow? I've had
the very deuce Of time over that
Englishman."
It was not quite easy for her to say
..Monty, you are the best in the world.
Go in and win"
From the window she watched him
swing on down the street, wondering
II he would turn to wave his hand to
her, his custom for years. But the
broad back was straight and uncom-
promising. His long strides carried
him swiftly out Of sight, but 1t was
many minutes before she turned her
eyes, which were smarting, a little
from the point where he was lost in
the crowd The room looked ashen to
her as she brought her mind back to
it, and somehow things had grown diff
ferent.
When Montgomery reached home he
found this telegram from Mr.. Jones:
Montgomery Brewster New York City:
Stick to your knitting, you fool.

door his wife, who was waiting Tor
him in the accustomed place at the top
of the stairs. where she could watch
his uncertain ascent, started upbraid-

Jones went to bed, and when he was
almost asleepN he could hear her still
scolding him numerically. He drop

CHAPTER TX.

vt is best not to repeat the express
sions Brewster used regarding one
s, Jones after reading this tele>
i gram. But he felt considerably
relieved after he had uttered them. He
fell to reading accounts Of the big
prize fight which was to take place In
San Francisco that evening. He revel-
ed in the descriptions of upper cuts"
and "left hooks" and learned inciden-
tally that the affair was to be quite
one sided. A local amateur was to
box 4 champion. Quick to see an OPP
portunity and cajoling himself into the
beilef that Swearengen Jones could
not object to such display Of sports
manship, Brewster made Harrison
book several good wagers on the result.
He intimated that he had reason to be-
lieye that the favorite would lose.
Harrison seen placed $1,000 on his
man. The young dnaacier felt SO sure
of the result that he entered the bets
on the profit side " his ledger the mo
mont he received Harrison's report.
This done, he telephoned to Miss
Drew. She was not insensibie to the
significance OF his inquiry If she would
be in that afternoon. She had observ-
ed in him Of late 4 condition Of un-
easiness, supplemented by moroseness
and occasional periods Of irascibtllty.
Every girl whose occupation In life Is
the study Of men recognizes these
symptoms and knows how to treat
them. Barbara had Aealt with many
men afflicted in this manner, and the
autter of anticipation that came with
his urgent plea to see her was temper
ed by experience. It had something Of
joy in it, for she cared enough for
Montgomery Brewster to have made
her anxiously uncertain Of his state OF
mind. She cared, indeed, much more
than she intended to confess at the
outset.
1t was nearly half past when he
came, and for once the philosophical
Miss Drew felt little irritation. So
certain was she of his object in COM
ing that his hardness was trihe ruff
fling. He apologized for being late
and succeeded in banishing the pique
that possessed her. 1t was naturally
impossible for him to share all his
secrets with her. and that is why he
did not tell her that Grant & Ripley
had called him up to report the receipt
of a telegram from Swearengen Jones,
in which the gentleman laconicaliy
said he could feed the whole state OF
Montana for less than $4,000 Beyond
that there was no comment. Brewster
in dire trepidatfon hsstened to the Of
fee OF his astornsJs. They sniisd
wheH he bus1t In upon them.
