in issue must not be neglected.
He had the keen. perception to
anticipate the strong points to be
advanced by the adversary IN the trial
of the case and was always prepared
to meet the strong points advanced by
the other side. Mr.. Pease had in

the evldeme required to maintain every
point in the case and the ability to
procure the evidence, If it could be

Mr.. Pease was conspicuous member

An English ex-inspector of police

in connection with his career.
When he first Joined the force the
regulations were scarcely so stringent

On one occasion he came across a
notorious poacher who was in the act
of committing brutal assault on his

When the constable interfered the

CARDS fuel cost. but with the advanc-
ing cost of the former and the GER
tain decreasing price of the latter,
and the improvement in alcohol en-
Sines, the use of the alcohol will be-
come general because of the other adj
vantages already mentioned.
AS heating fuel for household
purposes, alcohol has all the advan-
tages above named and several others.
1t is safer. as the accidental fire can
be eXtinguished with water. 1t is not
greasy by nature and is not disagree
able in odor. The flame is smokeless
and kitchen utensils are never black
ened by the alcohol flame. 1t is health
Ter and the air purer where it is used
than where gasoline is used. AS in
the case of the motor power, it is still
one-fifth higher in cost, but this has
not prevented it's widespread use in
European countries. Here again. as
in the case of the motor power, it is
expected that American ingenuity will
do much to increase the efficiency and
decrease the cost of the new fuel.
AS an Illuminating substance alco-
hol presents its greatest advantages,
duu pIOUdUiy uO OlueF llSulluS SuD-
stance equals it, all things consider
ed. 1t is perfectly clean to handle
and fouls the atmosphere less than
half as much as kerosene oil. 1t is
perfectly safe and can be carried
about from place to place. The lamp
is not much unlike the common oil
lamp in construction. A special burn
er is used which is fitted with man
tie similar to that used in gas burn
ers. The heat generated by the burn
ing alcohol, heats this mantle to a
white heat and the white light emit
ted is extremely pleasant and more
powerful than that resulting from
petroleum oil. The initial cost of the
lamp is about the same as that of
the kerosene lamp. The cost of the
fuel is in favor of the alcohol. One
half gallon of alcohol will furnish as
much light as one gallon of kerosene
and on equal candle power one gallon
of alcohol will last 81 hours while
the oil lasts only % hours. General
ly speaking. the cost of lighting by
alcohol as compared with kerosene is
in the ratio of 6 to 10 in favor of
the alcohol.

from danger, absence of disagreeable
odors, capability of high compression,
low initial heat and discharge Of ex-
haust gases at relatively low temper
atures, character of explosion which
is less sudden and more prolonged,
more perfect ignition and combustion.
In comparing the efficiency of gaso-
line, kerosene and alcohol for motor
power. it must be remembered that
little has yet been done in perfecting
alcohol engines and methods Of util-
izing the new fuel. From the compar-
isons made by German scientists. it
appears that operation with alcohol,
80 percent pure, costs 10 percent more
than with gasoline. and about % per-
cent more than with kerosene. On
this basis, when gasoline was selling
at Is cents a gallon. 90-percent alco-
hol would have to sell at II cents a
gallon to be on par with the other
fuel. Thus it will be seen that gaso-
