GAS USED UNDER LIME KILNs.
innovation by Connecticut Company
Is Success.

The New England Lime company,
of Winstead, Conn, asserts that 1t Is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning. The method is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow
ing scarcity of wood fuel led to the
discovery of gas as a substitute for
wood, and the company no longer con-
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability of gas
have been demonstrated beyond a
doubt. Had it been impossible to find
a substitute for wood. said member
Of the company. it would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment of the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clinkers and no cinders-and the
lime produced is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro-
duces a more intense heat. and conse'
quently increases the capacity of the
kilns. The daily output at the com
pany's kilns is increased from so bar.

soYlsH MIND WAS WORKING.
Younaster on His First Sail Over the
Raging Main"

None of us ever quite forget those
days-when our years were few-of
dreaming about life on the raging
main. when the imagination reveled
in pirates and plumber from state
ly galleons and valorous deeds done
on storm-swept decks, says a writer
in the New York Times. Recollection
Of this period is, at any rate, sufii-
GENTLY vivid, so that the remark OF
a small boy could contribute mae
rally to the "gayety of nations,
among the passengers on one OF the
excursion steamers running from
Manhattan across the harbor to
Coney Island.
The steamer made her way across
the bay, lodging tugs and ferryboats
fortunately meeting no pirate craft
The passengers, escaping gladly from
the citys heat, nibbled their sand
wiches and enjoyed the breeze. The
walters moved about the deck with
their trays. The boy. just from the
inland town, where his life so far
had been spent, sat rapt and wide
eyed. II one could but know fully
the mental content" from which
sprang his words at last!
MAJ" he cried. hoarsely, tell me
which one of 'em is the skipper!"

Gov. Hayward reached the scene
shortly after the negro had been cap.
tured. A platform was erected in a
fence corner on the premises of the
victims father, from which platform
Gov. Hayward addressed the mob in
an effort to prevent the lynching The
governor beseeched the mob not to
lynch Davis, but in vain At the con.
clusion of his speech the governor
was vociferously cheered.
The mob then removed the prisoner
from the view of the governor and
within a short distance of the home
of his victim the negro was riddled
with bullets.
1t is impossible to estimate the
crowd, as citizens from several coun-
ties had gathered at the scene and
for two days had been in pursuit of
the negro. but ii is certain that hun
dreds of bullets were sent through
his body.

Suffered for "White Lie"

Is white lie ever justified? That
at least some people believe it has
no excuse is proved by the following
tale: An ancient rabbi came to a city
where all the people were truthful,
married one of the inhabitants, had
two children and prospered. One day
a neighbor called when the rabbits
wife was washing her head, and the
rabbi, going to the door, was seized
by false modesty and said that she
had gone out Thereupo1 both of his
children died, and, as no one died in
that city before reaching old age, the
neighbors made inquiries. the rabbi
confessed what he had done. and was
ordered to leave the city Immediately.

Johnstown, Pa.-Plunging through

'ailroad crashed into slowly moving
work train at Sang Hollow, killing
seven and seriously injuring seven

If the latter will probably die.
The work train had stopped at a
water plug near Sang Hollow to take
water. A Fort Wayne freight was fol-
lowing and, because of the driving
cain the engineer was unable to see
the work train until just before the
crash.
The engineer of the freight jumped
and received injuries from which he
will die
The fireman remained on the engine
and was uninjured When the freight
engine crashed into the work train it
plowed its way through the cars.
sAll of the laborers and others of
tRe work crew were asleep, and those
that were killed probably never knew
hey were struck
The cries of the wounded, the burn
ng cars, the overturned engines and
the sound of escaping steam com
bined 10 make a most horrible sight
The crew of the freight made an at
.empt to rescue the men from the
cabin car, but owing 10 the fact that
the doors were battered in on the
wreck and the timbers were crushed
so that entrance was impossible, it
was some hours before it was found
out how many were dead. Four men
were dead when taken out. The 9th
srs died after being taken to hos
pital.
According to reports Engineer S.
n. Woods of the freight train had in
creased the speed of his train just be-
fore the crash, that he might take wa
ter from the water pans along the
track, and in so doing is said to have
exceeded his orders

GOOD coLoRs FOR HOUSES.

1t is not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
of just what tints are best TO use is,
therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint. in a recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun,
will protect a house better than those
which allow these rays TO pass
through the film.
Thus red is good color because 1t
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore. the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
Door, so far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color Of paint for your
house. select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va
rious tones these tints will produce,
will give a wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like lemon), cold green's
like grass green, etc. and the blues.
1t must be understood that no vir-
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color Will fade, and
the paint will scale off, if adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used,
but if one is careful to use the best
white lead-some well-known brand
of a reliable manufacturer-and gen
uine linseed oil. the warm tints men
toned above will outwear the same
materials tinted with the cold colors
