SOFT COAL WITHOUT SMOKE.

Prof. l.. p. Breckenridge, director of
the engineering experiment station of
the University of Illinois and engineer
in charge of the steam engineering di-
vision of the United States geological
survey, in a recent interview in Wash
ington outlined a solution of the smoke
problem of the country, basing his
statements on experiments that have
made the 1000 horsepower heating
plant of the university smokeless for
the last two years. In response to
many inquiries the professor has pre-
pared a statement in explanation of
details of general interest, in which
he says:
The engineering experiment sta
ton of the University Of Illinois has for
the past yes been conducting a series
of experiments relating to the methods
of burning Illinois coal both with econ.
omy and without smoke. These tests
have been made under a water tube
boiler of 210 horsepower capacity. The
furnace consisted Of a chain crate
stoker. The lower tubes of the boiler
have been covered for two-thirds their
length with special tile, making a tile
roof furnace. The draft has been
furnished by a fan drawing the air
through the FIRE, the usual induced
draft system. With this equipment ov.
err 100 tests have been made, of from
eight to ten hours duration, soft coal

the operation after the fires were well
started"

The patient recovering from a most

Doctor, how long shall l have to lie

down on her and answered, my dear,

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. S.-The general

heavy rainfalls, occurred. Hailstorms
occurred over sections of the eastern
counties, and were destructive in
many localities.
Worst for Many Years.
Buffalo. Newcastle and Cheyenne
were visited by heavy hailstorms, and
that which occurred at Cheyenne on
the afternoon of the 31st was the most
severe experienced in this city for
many years; gardens were destroyed,
and thousands Of window panes brok-
en-, but the destructive effects of the
storm were not felt much beyond the
city limits.
Sunshine in Central Part.
Over the central and eastern coun-
ties the sunshine for the week was
abundant, but much cloudy weather
prevailed ove the eastern counties
where thunderstorms were FREQUENT
and of almost daily occurrence IN

ALLIANCE BETWEEN CAR

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON. March 2s.-OfficiaI
ana diplomatic Washington is deeply
interested in a report emanating from
oficial sources that japan and Russia
are paving the way to an offensive and
defensive alliance, in which Great Brit
ain and France will participate..
II this is true, IL win be the biggest
diplomatic coup which has been ef-
fected since the alliance between Eng
land and Japan. which made the Russo
Japanese war possible. For the recent
enemies II will mean that the armed
truce which now exists will give way to
permanent peace in connection with the
Far East.
The Irritating attitude of the Ameri-
can Pacific Slope toward the Japanese
has caused statesmen of the Mikado's
empire to reckon with the possibility
OF the United States as an enemy, and
to deal firmly with this country ii is
necessary that Russia should be con-
verted into a friend. This is an addi-
tional argument used in support of the
report that Russia and Japan are about
TO become allies.
So far as Manchuria is concerned,
China is preparing to resume the mas
terry of the three provinces which make
UP this region. Ostensibly the terri
tory will be turned over to the Chinese
