DENATURED ALCOHOL

Denatured alcohol is just beginning
operations in this country, and much
is expected of it, perhaps more than
will be realized. 1t can be made from
many things. In Greece, denatured al
cohol is being manufactured from cur
rants, which are the principal crop of
that country. A company has been or
ganized for the purpose Of, disposing
of the crude alcohol thus distilled, and
it has opened a permanent exhibition
in Athens, where lamps, stoves and 9TH
er devices for burning denatured alco-
hol may be obtained. 1t has also es-
tablished depots for the sale of the al
cohol in many convenient points in
Athens, and in other parts of Greece.
One type Of portable heating stove
throws out enough heat to warm a.
room u by "a feet, and it consumes
less thar gallon of alcohol in twelve
hours. Lamps are from % to 80 cam
dlepower and can be lighted at an ex-
pense Of about seven-tenths of a cent
an hour. These lamps are meeting
with a ready sale and are said to give
an extremely bright light. 1t is pre-
dicted by an Athens newspaper that
denatured alcohol viii take the place of
petroleum for lighting purposes in
Greece,
It is not expected, we believe. that
denatured alcohol will knock out the
Standard Oil company in this coun-
try.

DAMAGING COAL SMOKE.

Coal smoke has done some damage to
the architecture of New Haven. and it
has also done some damage to the fam
Gus old Canterbury cathedral in Eng
land. An official report was made up
on the structure thirty years ago, in
which it was stated that the great
Angel Tower was in so good a condi-
ton that it would need no repair for
many years to come. In those thirty
years, however, the increase of coal
smoke in Canterbury has brought it, so
it is reported to an advanced and dan

TRADE OPPORTUNITIES IN THR
MIKADO's LAND.

Special Agent w. A. Graham Clark,
writing from Japan, as to the best
methods for American manufacturers to

into that market, advises them to do
so through the local American branch
houses. He says:

many American firms having branches
in Japan, though only two or three
handle textiles to any extent. The
manufacturer should first get in touch
with the New York house and make
arrangements for them to handle his
goods, and obtain from them specific
information as to the conditions of
packing, transportation, market re-
quirements, etc. He should then pick
out his best salesman, man with

The capitol at Albany is not yet quite
done. The New York Sun, describing
the work done in rebuilding the assem-
bly, staircase of the State capitol at Al
bany in order to prevent possible COL
lapse, says: The contractors have re-
moved about four thousand tons of
granite from the main tower near the
top of the assembly staircase and have
placed steel pillars, reinforced with
stone, at the base of the staircase, so
that it does not look as if anything had
been disturbed. But the most remark
able feat in connection with this con-
tract is that it has been done within
half of the amount of the appropriation
for that purpose, which is the first time
anything like this has happened in the
$4,000, 900 capitol. Another unusual cir
cumstance is that the work was com
pleted on time.

Conversation.

60. S. Marden in Success Magazine)
The school and the college employ
the student comparatively few hours
day for a few years; conversation Is
training in perpetual school. Many
get the best part Of their education In
conversation.
1T is a great ability discoverer,
great revealer of possibilities and re-
sources. We think more of ourselves
If we can talk we'll, if we can interest
and hold others. The power to do SO
increases our self-respect, our self
confidence.
No man knows what he really pos
sesses until he makes his best effort
to express to others what Is in him.
The avenues Of the mind fly open, the
faculties are alert. Every good con-
verser has felt a. power come to him
from the listener which he never felt
before, and which often stimulates and
inspires to fresh endeavor. The ming
ling of thought with thought, the con-
tact of mind with mind develop new
powers, as the mixing Of two chemicals
often produces new third substance.
To converse well one must listen
we'll also-hold oneself in a receptive
Il
attitude.
Walter Besant used to tell of clev-
er woman who had a great reputation
as a conversationalist, tho she talked
little. She had such cordial sym
pathetic manner that she helped the
timid and the shy to say their best
things and made them feel at home.
She dissipated their fears, and they
could say things to her which they
could not say to any one else. People
thought her an interesting conversa-
tionalist because she had this ability
to call out the best in others.
If you would make yourself agree
able you must be able to enter into the
life of the people you are conversing
WITH and you must touch them along
the lines of their interest. No matter
how much you may know about a SUBJ
ject, if it does not happen to interest
those to whom you are talking your
efforts will be largely lost.

SO to his brother, the Marquis of
I,rne-now the Duke of Argyll-they
went, and he certainly thought that
his royal wife should be consulted as
to who should be admitted into the
family.

Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-The body
of Frank X. DeLone, the young club
man, who disappeared while horse
back riding in Paramount Park, was
found today in the Schuylkill river
below the city avenue bridge.
The clew which led the police to
drag the river for DeLone's body
was furnished by James Harrop, who
last night told of having seen a horse
man struggling with his mount on
the bridge. The horse was bucking
and trying to throw his rider.
Harrop heard a splash in the riv-

Seventh Teacher Will Be
Elected to High School
From 100 Pupils, Scattered in Diff
ferent Rooms, Enrolment
Reaches 2fO.
STANDING OF SCHOOL HIGH

Demands for a new teacher in the
High school which the school board
will meet tonight, reflect the ad-
vancement of the institution during
the last two years, under the direc-
ton of Superintendent Lieb and
Prof. George E. Payne, the princi-
pal.
The new teacher will make the
seventh employed in the High school,
where four formerly taught all the
students. At That time each teacher
had a number of widely varying sub
iects whereas now each teacher is
specialist, and is chosen to teach his
or her speciality.
The specializing OF the work and
the Improvements gradually insisted
on nave raised the standard of the
school, so that the four years
course, substituted for the old three
years course, is actually a full year
ahead of the former High school.
The seventh grade is now the equal
of the old eight grade. Where for
merly the school was not recognized
outside the state and not by some
institutions in the state, a certificate
from the superintendent that fne
scholar has passed in any particular
study will be accepted by any col
lege or university in the country.
From an enrolment of $50 the
school has grown to 210 and the
new High school auditorium, in
which all the students gather, gives
the institution a homogeneity it
lacked when the classes occupied
separate rooms like the grade
schools. With this has been cultivat-
ed a school spirit, that mas had
tendency, not only to increase the
numbers annually entering from the
grades, but has kept up the attend
ance and interest of the pupils. Ath-
letics. literary societies and lectures
have served to stimulate the pride
of the students in their school and
its work.
