The Clubs Rapid Growth.
Organized at first with but few men,

The first shoot Of the season was held
by the club last Tuesday afternoon, and in
spite of the heavy northwest wind and
cold weather many of the club members
were on the ground and took part in the
shoot. Some excellent scores were made
but most of the club members found them
selves rather rusty after their winters lay
up. But before the shoot was over the
marksmen were getting their hands in.

FUEL PRODUCT
Coalite. Coming Into Ex-
ttnsive Use; Is Late
Discovery

Consul f. w. Metcalf forwards from
Newcastle a British newspaper state
ment about new fuel prepared from
coal, for which the following extract
points to an extensive use:
good deal of interest has bee1
centered in "coalite,' and numbers
have called at the exhibition of 1t In
Newcastle to see this coalite burning
in the CRATE and hear about Its re-
markable properties as house fuel.
1t Is q bright, hard substance. very
similar in appearance to the best

smoke and gives of. II is claimed,
something like twice the heat Of coal
VIII lie a coalite fire lasts 40 per cent
longer than an ordinary coal fire.
This coalite is produced by a process
similar to that employed by the gas
companies for the production of coke.
In the case of the gas companies, coal
is treated at high temperature, the
gas and by-products being collected
and the residue being coke. but by the
coalite process the coal DO treated ut q
much lower temperature, with the re-
suit that the gas obtained lie mucn
richer.
The by-products are also richer
ana the residue. instead OF being coke
IL cealite, which can be easily lighted
and burns with great steadiness and
economy.
Fer household purposes It appears
to have special value, in virtue OF
it's cleanliness and it's heating power.
This is now fully recognized in Lon
don. where the prospect of abating the
smoke and fog nuisance is hailed with
no small satisfactiin.
The king has been impressed with
its qualities and instructions have
been given at Buckingham palace t.
have the cellars swept clear of all coal
and nothing but coalite put there fol
the future. Out of a ton of coal about
10 per cent of coalite is extracted. but
its calorific power being much greater
the ton may be said to have suffered
no loss in value. while at the same
time the gas and vast range Of by
products have been extracted.

The number of stripes having been
increased by the admission of new

the lawmakers, and the original IS
stripes were unchangeably restored by
