A dispatch of Altoona, Pa, of late
date says:
The remarkable secret for burning
ashes with coal, discovered by John
Ellsmore, an Altoona cobbler, and
which has excited attention almost
the world over, is out. Almost every
householder in Altoona is now using
it with great saving in coal bills.
Several well known chemists imme-
diately after 1t was announced that
Ellsmore has solved the problem Of
obtaining heat from ashes. set to
work to try and discover the formu-
la. They were successful and here
1t is
Common salt, one pound.
| Oyalic acid, two ounces.
| Water, one gallon.
| Mix and moisten a mixture con-
tanning one part coal and three parts
ashes and a better fuel than pure
coal is obtained.
The ashes of anthracite coal burns
as readily as does those of bitumi-
nous. This mixture will upon being
placed upon a burning fire, fuse in
to a coke-like mass and deposit but
little residue. The chemical action
of this compound is thus explained.
When an aqueous solution of an
alkaline sale, such as common salt
is mixed with coal ash, the result Is
that mild lye is formed. which
when mixed with any combustible
material, such as coal. and upon the
application of heat, gives off oxygen
gas, thus enabling rapid combustion.
The addition of oxalic acid causes
a chemical change Of greater value
than the first, for the reason that 1t
results in the formation Of a carbide
which in turn gives off acetylene gas
thus adding to the intensity of the
heat and facilitating complete COM
bustion.
1t is possible upon moistehing a
small quantity of ashes without the
addition of coal to readily detect the
odor of the acetylene gas and If the
treated ashes are placed upon a
lighted fire they will fuse and burn
tc fine powder.
! This compound is now being used
in many large industrial and manu-
! featuring places, and it Is claimed
for 1t that 1t has reduced the fuel
item more than half. 1t has elimi-
mated almost entirely the question of
disposal of ashes which has been
considerable where great quantities
Of coal has been consumed.
Fllsmorn, who discovered the secret
and focused public attention on the
possibilities that lurked in ashes
claims that his patent will protect
him in, his secret. He says he has
received an offer from the British
government provided that he can
demonstrate the practicability of his
compound.
While 1t Is everywhere conceded
that Fllsmore has conferred a great
boon upon humanity, 1t is feared that
he will not derive any benefit from
his discovery in view of the fact that
hundreds Of others have secured the
same results, following his lead.

western terminus. Contracts for the
construction Of the entire line have
been placed and In addition to the
activity Of the graders many men are
employed in distributing material and
laying the ties and steel. Structural
steel for bridges to span the many
streams crossed by the line has been
received in large amounts, and indi-
cations are that the company will
be able to complete the line from San
Francisco to Salt Lake by July, 1908,
as anticipated.
The last contract for construction
of the line was let about a month ago
to the Utah Construction company.
This contract included that part of
the line which has been completed
and their latest contract gives them
supervision of the construction Of the
line from Salt Lake to Oroville, Cal,
distance of 725 miles.

WOMEN PAY MORE.
Why Insurance Companies Dlscrimi-
nate Against the Gentle Sex

nate Against the Gentle Sex
Medical examiners of insurance
companies say that the reason a wo-
man pays more for the privilege OF
insurance than a man, Is from the
fact that women more readily fall
victims to Indigestion and stomach
troubles and the fatal ailments that
spring from these causes.
All persons. they say, who have q
weakened digestive system and suffer
from sick headache, dizzy spells, dis
tress after eating, specks before the
eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleepless-
ness, and the many other symptoms
of indigestion. soon lower the tone OF
the whole system and are most sus-
ceptible to a fatal illness. u
For curative power In all stomach
troubles, nothing else is as safe yet
effective. nothing else can be thor
oughly rolled upon to relieve all trou'
bles from indigestion as Mi-o-na. II
is unlike any remedy heretofore
known and Is really one Of the val
liable discoveries In modern medical
science.
II is not the acute attacks that In
flueIce the insurance examiners
alone, but the constant feeling OF
weakness, headaches, indigestion and
stomach troubles--these things, ply
slcians say, kill more people than
more serious diseases.
To escape this condition of III
health, to enjoy ones food and YET
never suffer with indigestion, a per.
con should use Mi-o-na stomach tab
let's. They are not mere digestive
tablet, but strengthen and restore to
natural action the stomach and
bowels and effect a complete cure In
even the worst form of stomach trou-
bles.
Tallman G. Co. sell Mi-o-na in 80
cent boxes under guarantee to re-
fund the money unless It does all
that 10 claimed for It.

Preacher Seriously Burned.

Rev. Harry Benton, pastor Of the
Christian church, met with very
painful accident yesterday. He was
building a fire in a coal stove when
in some unaccountable manner an
unusually large quantity Of gas de-
veloped. A big explosion occurred
when the match was applied, and the
violent pressure drove a long col
umn Of the burning fluid out through
the door Of the stove. Mr.. Benton's
hand and arm were badly burned

MANIFOLD VARIETIES OF CORN.
Cultivation Results In Existence Of
Five Hundred Kinds.

A surprising history is presented
in recent report to the Department
of Agriculture with reference to one
of Americas greatest contributions
to the food supply of the world, In
dian corn.
Under the effects of cultivation
the recognized varieties have In
creased from the few known by the
early explorers to more than 800.
The variations in size are interest
ing, especially as regards the height
of the stalk. This runs from a foot
and half for some kinds of pop
corn to twenty-five feet for Ten
nessee variety, and thirty or more
for varieties grown in the West In
dies.
The expert who has reported to
the Department of Agriculture on
the subject describes one group In
which each kernel is surrounded by
a husk, and the ear thus formed is
itself enveloped in husks.
Some classes of popcorn have
ears only one inch long, while the
ears of common corn sometimes at
tain length of sixteen inches.

Earth's Shalxy Foundation.

There is never a day on which
some part of the earth is not shaken;
and 1t is probable that not even an
hour ever passes without some kind
of an earthquake in some part of the
earth. The truth of this statement
may be inferred from the fact that
In Japan alone S.331 earthquakes
were recorded between the years
1885 and 1892. The great majority
of these shocks are tremors detected
only by instruments. or II noticed by
man, OF such slight intensity as to
cause no alarm.

Foretold His Death.

Bismarck's anticipation of the
date of his own death is not gener-
ally known. About nineteen years
ago, during debate in one of the
great military schemes, he refused to
interfere with the Septennate bill on
the ground that he expected to live
another three years, but to die with
In seven. In other words, he calcu-
lated on living till 1890 and on dying
before 1894. AS matter of fact, his
prediction was not far wrong, for,
though he actually lived until
1897, he was politically dead as soon
as he went into retirement at Fried
erichshuh.
