John J. MCCIoSkey Tells Good
Story of Stormy Days in

John McCloskey breaks into the lime
light as joker once more. During a
hot air session one morning the talk
switched TO umpires. No one panned the
arbitrator. They Just spoke of the many
trials besetting the man who adopts AN
umpiratical career.
one point on which all hands agreed
was that the umpire is loyal to his pro-
iesslon. For example. three seasons ago

times might get better. Among the hot
bugs In Sacramento at that time was a
restaurant keeper. He was stuck on the
game. To help us out he gave each
member of the team a meal ticket on

Loaded Gun in Wagon.

Carry your gun loaded when on horse
back or In wagon. 1t will conduce to
your friends peace of mind. If he re-
quests you TO unload. take offense You
are perfectly competent to handle a load
ed gun, even if the horses should run
away, and the wagon upset or break
down.
Blow your whistle and give loud or
ders continually. Keep the dog going TO
every likely place but the place he is
in. Have five or six places that you de-
sire him TO work in at the same time
Claim with great show of firmness all
the birds you can. If your friends dog
points when you are a quarter of a mile
away, call loudly to your friend asking
him TO wait. IL will be a great pleasure
TO wait and make the pleasure divided q
pleasure doubled.
When you walk up to your friends dog
which is on a point or back. never under
any circumstances fail to have your gun
with YOUR fingers on the triggers, pointed
downward toward the dogs, and as YOU
walk around him keep the gun bearing
on him. In a few known instances In
which the gun discharged prematurely the
dog was killed outright. hence there is
no doubt of the effectiveness of the
method.
If your friend has one day only In
which to hunt, by all means try to make
II entertaining. Narrate some long-wind
ed yarns of what you have done on some
previous occasion. Become intensely alb
sorbed in the narration. stop your friend
so that he can listen better, and let the
ter or greater delight than in devOting
three-quarters of his time TO listening TO

Germon Sriquettes.

IN Germany many thousands of house

with a desire to abate the smoke null
sance but also for economy. Germany has
eighty-nine manufactures of fuel bri'
quettes, some of which have yearly out
put Of more than 10000 tons. These brl-
Quette works are divided in respect TO the
material employed into two general
classes those which make briQuettes from
brown coal or carbonized peat, with OF
without the addition Of a bituminous mat
rix or binder, and those which use as a
basic material coal dust or slack-Ihe
waste of soft coal mines.
In the manufacture OF brlquettes from
brown coal the ignite is crushed. moist

mortar, then passed through the machine
which, by compression under heat, de-

that 1t moulds rapidly into smooth, glsten-
ing briquettes OF a black or dark pIoME
color, which are practically smokeless' enc

An processes of this kind are based upon
the fact that ignite is a vegetable coal Of
more recent formation and therefore 81

a anthracite or bituminOus coal. The process

which can be either used in irregular Jumps
or moulded into briquettes.
The imperial testing station made mos
satisfactory experiments with peat prl-
uuettes under what Is known as the
.Stauber process for drying moist sub
stances This system includes a process
for rapidly drying the moist peat by means
OF heated and compressed air within 9

with conduit pipes in such a manner that
heated air can be forced through the dry,
