USE sMoKELEss SOFT COAL
In Industry, Newly-Invented Fur
mace Proves a Big Boon-Noth-
ing for the Household.

The Disagreement from soft
coal is needless, it is asserted, in
view of a modern invention which
has made bituminous coal abso
lutely smokeless. AS yet there
has been no satisfactory furnace
invented for household use, but
for industrial uses on a large scale
there are smokeless soft coal fur
naces made, the prices ranging
from a few hundred dollars to
$1,000. One firm has sold more
than 5000 smOkeless furnaces and
is now shipping many orders to
Japan. Buyers have decided that
the saving in cost of fuel offsets
the high first cost Of the furnaces,
But not only is bituminous coal
NORMALLY only half the price OF
anthracite, but the successful in
vention provides for the burning
of coal with the minimum OF
waste.
Everyone knows that coal
smoke is carbon which has not
been consumed; that is, wasted
coal which has been set free while
the mass is heating. One form of
smoke consumer is a mechanical
stoker, which feeds the coal in
slowly at the edge of the fire, fore
ing whatever smoke rises TO pass
the length of the fire box before
the glowing furnace. The accom-
paniment of the hot air blast sc
cures almost complete cOmbus
ton. Another system by reyers
ing the draughts sends the case
Gus smoke down through the fire,
the blue flames playing down
through the CRATE instead of up.
The fire does not burn down, for
naturally the fresh coal goes in on
top, but all the gases descend.
Below the CRATE is another CRATE,
to which the smaller pieces of half
consumed coal drop. What little
gas escapes is burned in the roar
ing passage between the two
white hot CRATES.
1t has been computed that at
the present rate of consumption
the anthracite coal supply can.
not last longer than so years,
But the supply of bituminOus coal
is practically unlimited. Ordinar-
lily in New York it is about half the
price of hard coal. The United
States government, using down
draught furnaces Of LOO horse
power in New York city, saves
yearly nearly $4,000 by burning
soft coal. 1t has besides IS per
cent. less refuse. Used with salts.
factory smoke consumers, there
is a saving of ten per cent. in the
coal and from 10 to Is per cent. in
boiler capacity. Already since the
strike there has been a great in.
crease in the use of smokeless fur.
naces, which will probably have n
permanent effect on the demand
for anthracite. A wide use of the
smokeless appliances would doubt
less lengthen the life of the hard
I, coal fields.

close to a soldiers head, the crown
prince shouted:

Thereupon the crown prince fell on
him and in the presence of a number

threatened to shoot him
Hearing the frightened spectators

New York, Nov. 26.-StartIing irreg-

accounts of the second greatest bank
In the world, the National Bank Of
Commerce, commonly known in finan-
cial circles as ]. Pierpont Morgans,
the capitalization Of which is $25, ,000,-

The loss, which will amount to many
thousands Of dollars, will not be

prying into the books is completed.
1t was learned that since last Friday
afternoon there has been detained
secretly in the Tombs a clerk who has
been in the en.oloy of the certifcation
department of the bank.
This clerk is Bernard Mann. He is
twentyfour years old. He lives in
Brooklyn. Within the past few months
the young man has led dizzy life in
his neighborhood. Mann never went
among his friends without an ostenta-
tious display of diamonds He never
went to a ball, party or theater
without having with him suspiciously
large roll of bills.
Nothing that coin could command
seemed beyond his reach. Where he
got this money none knew, not even

came the diamonds. He said, with a
glibness and apparent sincerity that

Der of Deaths and Injuries.
Chicago, Nov. 26-The first season
of 'debrutalized' football ended prac-
tically with a record of eleven deaths
and 100 players seriously injured, a
marked decrease from last year, when
eighteen players were killed and 159
seriously injured
The most significant feature is the
decrease in the casualties among high
school players In 1905 eleven high
school players were killed and forty
seven injured. This year seven re-
ceived injuries which resulted in death
and twenty-five were badly hurt.
All the college and high school
games this year were played under the
new rules drawn up after the close OF
last season to satisfy the agitation for
less dangerous football aroused by the
startling record of casualties in 1906
In that year and the preceding years
the brunt of the casualties was borne
by high school players.
