Current Literature for April.

Current literature under its new ed
itor has become a record Of contem-
porary life. Elsa Barker. the WELL
known poet, says of it that it is the
best critical journal-critical in the
wider sense-published in the world
today. The leading articles for April
are: "The Seven Railway Kings of
America with seven full-page phot-
ographs of Morgan, Hartman, Hill
Vanderbilt, Gould, Frick and The
Sphinx of Rock Island Ex-Judge
Moore); Roosevelt and William H."
an interesting exposition of the intl-
mate threads of international di-
plomacy; "A Theological thunderstorm
in England" in which the views OF
the Rev. r. J, Campbell, prophet of
hereto, whose recent utterances have
set a thousand ministers to preaching
sermons, are discussed clearly and
without bias; immortality Of Present.
Day Fiction and George Moore's
Onslaught on Puritanism in Literature
ana Life" The Menace of Feminine
Christianity" will make every reader
set up, while Complexion as a Basis
Of Universal History" is one of the
most sensational scientific theories
ever put forward by a serious think.
ar The play reprinted this month Is
Charles Klein's The Lion and the
Mouse" No one who has seen this
play or read its 2ovelized version by
Arthur Hornbiow should neglect to
read the play itself now for the first
time made accessible to the public.
Among other dramatic articles an es-
say on How Belasco Creates Drama
tic Stars" and The Waning Glory of
Gerhardt Hauptmann" are ravalations
in themselves. Humor, poetry. fiction,
sriticism-all are represented in this
magazine, which may indeed be said
to be universal in It's appeal

MARKET SOMEWHAT DULL.
Demand is Slow But Prices Are Ruling
Firm.

Local merchants report a somewhat
dull period at present with slow de-
mand for commodities and plentiful
supply of everything in season. There
has been some shifting of prices lately,
the tendency being upward in most
cases, although butter and eggs have
come down The quotations today are
as follows:

FAME COMES TO ELmoRE.
cobbIer Scientist Almost Staggered by
Attention He Is Receiving.


DeIuged with letters from far and
near. harassed by importunate pro-
moters who could give advice as to
the proper way Of exploiting his dis
covery, besleged By newspaper men
and neighbors, and innumerable other
inconvenience, are the concornitants
of newly acquired fame that have
nearly distraced Cobbler john FL.

that he has solved the problem of
converting ashes into heat-producing
fuel

finds the new conditions anything but
congenial. He pines for the hum

where for years he dreamed over the
problem, the solution Of which has
brought him fame. and mayhap,
great riches.
Since the news of the discovery
was given to the world, Elmore has
given to many practical demonstra-
tons and those who have witnessed
them are convinced that he has Sc
cret that will completely revolution
iZe industry, make lot OF human
ity UNNECESSARILY brighter. not to
mention warmer, and save millions
of dollars annually in the cost Of
fuel
To newspaper men the aged cob
bier talks of his discovery as though
it was an everyday occurrence. But
not a hint will he drop as to the ma
ture of the ingredients that enters
into the compound that transforms
worthless ashes into a highly com
bustible fuel.
Demonstrating the process, Elmore
took from a bottle about teaspoon
full of brownish stuff, much resembling
sand. This he tossed into a bucket
containing about two gallons of water&
Sprinkling the water over the ashes,
he declared that they were ready for
the stove.
In his shop is a small egg stovN
and slow coal fire was burning, and
when he put a couple of shovels of
prepared ashes on the coal, flames
leaped high, as though a highly ex.
plosiye oil had been thrown upon the
fire. In a moment or two the fire set
tied to steady glow. and continued
thus for an hour The stove was red
hot in few minutes.
One of the strange features Of the
preparation is that after the ashes
are used they become hard, resemb-
ling coke. Elmore extracted a shov-
elful from the stove and when it had
cooled it was as hard as iron, darker
than coke, and much resembling it in
nature
DR.. H. K. Hoy, an Altoona physi-
clan, who has rendered assistance to
EMore in perfecting the formula, gave
demonstration at his home that con
WINGED skeptics that there is merit in
the discovery. Hoy claims that he
cut his coal bill in half last winter
by using the compound, which Elmore
had given him to experiment with.
Elmore hardly knows what to do
with his discovery. Inquiries are
pouring in rnon him, offering assist
ence in getting his patent upon the
market, but the cobbler is so dazed
by the sudden change of fortune that
he has not the slightest idea of his
future movements.

GLlDDEN'S WAY


Mabel went into the library and found
the old gentleman sitting there with
his newspaper. She perched herself on
the arm of his chair and, as he looked
particularly stern and forbidding, be-
gan to twist his near whisker around
her slim forefnger, which was a little
way she had. Upon which, the old
gentleman, with a sigh of resignation
and evaporation blended, dropped his
paper in his lap and said:
"Well?"

And it is what it, is; for his skill
Is only the truth of his dreams.
And his dreams are as strong as his faith,
Or as weak as the fears that they own ;
And what to hfs soul either sayeth,

NATION OF SALT EATERS.

The United States consumes 28,872,-
700 barrels Of salt annually, or a bar

land. Last year 1t went abroad for
only 1851 1913 barrels. In 1880 63.5
per cent Of the salt used In our coun-

95.7 per cent Of the product consumed

the United States are using annually
three times as much salt a. they used
twenty-six years ago.
Only 5,961 600 barrels were pro-
duced in this country in 1880, and the
consumers were forced to 60 abroad

total production at home was 25,968,-
