MAKING CHARCOAL.
Explanation of the Process Of Turning
Wood Into Carbon.

Wood Into Carbon.
When we build a fire of wood VIZ
have nothing but a blaze and smoke
and afterward ashes. Everything has
disappeared into the air except u hear
or grayish, pOwdery remains. How
then, do the charcoal burners manage
to turn sticks of wood into sticks OF
carbon, with no ashes remaining? Did
You ever hear an explanation Of the
process?
Small sticks of wood. uniform in
length. ara piled up in round heaps,
with hole in the middle for n chin.
ney. Connected with that hole Is an.
other. which runs along the ground out.
side the heap so as to make a daft
for the chimney. When the pile is com.
pleted the spaces between the sticks
are filed with twigS and chips and
even with leaves. SO as to make the pile
even. and then earth is thrown over
1t and sOds put on the earth. Then fire
Is put at the bottom of the chimney.
and by letting the heap have lust
enough air TO make the woOds burn
without blazing the sticks are charred
without being consumed.
The philosophy of the process is this:
Wood Is made up chiefly of carbon.
and it Is that carbon that is to be pre-.
served as charcoal. If, then. enough
of the oxygen of the air be allowed TO
get to the wood to drive out Of it all
the things of which it Is composed ex-
cept the carbon and not enough to set
1t to blazing the desired result may be
reached.
Great care has to be taken to pre-
vent the air from getting to all parts
Of the heap. and fresh earth and sods
are often added. A small heap of
sticks will turn to charcoal in about a
week. Larger heaps require two or
three weeks. The holes are then all
closed and the heap of charred sticks
left two or three days to cool off The
heap is then torn down. and the sticks
are spread on the ground.-Chicago

LORD FERRER'S TRIP
TO "TYBURN TREE" ="
rrssent Park Ian, in London
Was Tybarn Lane in the Days OF
Ferocious Murderer of Servant.

Park lane, in London, was Tyburn
lane, and it seems as if the galloWs-
described in an old document as
"movable"-at one time stood at its
east corner. In that case the stealthy
burglar of Mr.. Wertheimer's snuff
boxes must have trodden very near
the ignominious dust of many a pio-
neer in his own profession.
But whether it be Mr.. Wertheim-
er's or Lord Battersea's house that
stands on the site of Tyburn Tree, or
that carefully groomed house at the
beginning of the Bayswater road,
upon whose walls hangs the narrow
cage from which lark's song ascends
over the din of the motor bus, the
Marble Arch, itself a movable"
marks the region of many martyr
dom and many an execution. 1t was
there the ferocious Lord Ferrers was
hung in 1860 for numbering his SER
want. Horace Walpole's words paint
the picture well.
"He shamed heroes. He bore the
solemnity of pompous and tedious
procession of about two hours, from
the Tower to Tyburn, with as much
tranquility as if he were only going
to his own burial, not to his own exc
cution."
And when one of the dragons Of
the procession was thrown from his
horse Lord Ferrers expressed much
concern and said, II hope there will
be no death to-day but mine"
On went the procession, with a
mob about it sufficient to make it's
progress slow and laborious. Small
wonder that the age of Thackeray,
with Thackeray's help, set up its
scaffolds within four high walls. Ask
ing for drink, Lord Ferrers was re-
fused, for, said the sheriff, late regu-
lations enjoined him not to let pris-
oners drink while passing from the
place of Imprisonment to that Of exc
cution, great indecencies having been
committed by the drunkenness OF
criminals in the hour of execution.
"And though" said he, "my lord, I
might think myself excusable in over
looking this order out Of regard to
your lordships rank, yet there is an
other reason which, am sure, will
weigh with you; your lordship is SEN
sible of tho greatness Of the crowd;
we must draw up at some tavern; the
confluence would be so great that it
would delay the expedition which
your lordship seems so much to de-
sire"
But decency-so often paraded by
those who outrage it-ended with the
murderer's death. The executioners
fought for the rope, and the one who
lost it cried-the greatest tragedy, to
his thinking, of the day!

Fancy Blouse Waist.

The waist that gives the long, or
somewhat dropping shoulder effect,
is one of the latest favorites of fash
ion, and is to be noted in variety of
forms Here is one that is arranged
to form V at back and front, which
is very generally becoming, and that
can be utilized for almost every sea-
sonable material. In the illustration
crepe de chine is trimmed with heavy
lace, but not alone are the silk and
wool materials appropriate, linens
also are made after such fashion for
the late summer, and the design is
one that can be relied upon to be
used throughout the coming as well
as the present season, The waist is
closed invisibly at the left of the
front, which in itself commends it to
many women and it is altogether at
tractive and graceful.
The waist is made with the fitted
