Co al Combustion.

There is enough explosive energy In
a grateful of coal, if it could be liber-
ated and controlled, to hurl 1000
pound projectile through foot of solid
steel But there can be no explosion
without oxygen. and the coal in the
CRATE will not burn faster than the sup
ply of air which reaches it will permit
If the coal could be furnished all at
once with enough air to effect its COM
plete combustion, it would explode
with as great violence as if it were so
much dynamite

State Capital Notes
To Make Changes,

From time to time the Board of Pen itentiary Commissioners have made changes in the handling of the State convicts, and that still further changes are contemplated was manifested by the action of the board in authorizing Acting Governor X. o. Pindall to visit the state farm whenever convenient, and as it may seem necessary to him, and deal with matters there as it ap- pears in his judgment to be for the successful operation of the penitenti- ary system. The authority to do this was given to Acting Governor Pindall In written order signed by Secretary of State o. c. Ludwig, State Auditor A. B. Moore and Commissioner Guy B. Tucker, and is as follows: "Where- as, The next regular meeting of the Penitentiary Board is not due until some time next month, and condi- tions now confronting the board re- quiring immediate attention, and some one interested with authority from the board, we, the undersigned members Of the Penitentiary Board, do hereby authorize the acting governor, Hon. x. O. Pindall, to make such trips to the state farm in Lincoln county as may to him seem necessary in dealing with the levee situation, the cotton picking situation there, the labor situation there, concerning a return of the con- victs or a removal of them to the other camps of the state, and all other mat ters incident to the proper manage ment of the farm, and we each promise at the next meeting of the board to ratify the action of the acting governor in this behalf" In accord ance with this order and the author ity vested in him, Acting Governor Pindall left Thursday on his first visit to the farm, and will spend several days there looking over the situation and giving orders for such changes as in his opinion will rebound to the ben efits of the plantation.

Judae Riddick,s Successor.

A great deal of interest has centered around the probable appointment cf Acting Governor Pindall to fill the va cancy caused by the death of Judge Riddick owing to the legal points in volved. The opinion seems to prevail among the legal fraternity that the governor has the power to fill the Va cancy only until such time as an cleo tion may be called, and the people de- eide by popular vote. Acting Cover nor Pindall, it is said, has accepted this version of the law and will be gov erned accordingly It was understood several days ago that Chancellor Jesse c. Hart, of the Pulaski Chancery Court had been rendered the position, and in the event of his acceptance, Major John E. Martineau would be appointed to the Chancellorship. Should he de cline the appointments, Major Mar tineau will be placed on the supreme bench. In either event, whether Judge Hart accepts or declines the proffered position, there will be a vacancy in the assistant adjutant generals office, which it is stated, will be filled by the appointment of L. P. Berry, Jr., of Marion, lieutenant colonel on Acting Governor Pindalls staff

The stalk was selected for it's size, fruitage and healthy color, and with no thought that it was infested with weevils. The insects were to be seen on the cotton in the various stages, from the small grub, or worm. to the adult weevil, and there was scarcely boil on the large stalk that had not been pune tured by the weevil and in which de posits of eggs had not been made by the pest.

Many improvements Made.

Many improvements have been made or are being made at the several state institutions in Little Rock, the cost of which will aggregate $75,000. At the State Hospital for Nervous Dis eases a two-story ward building, hay ing capacity of 66 patients and to cost $25,000, is to be located in the rear of the present annex for female patients, also additions are being made to the hospital consisting of a new ward which is to have a capacity of 16 beds; an enlargement of the kitchen and dining room, to cost $13,000; COW barn with a capacity for stabling 120 cows, a brick dairy house with concrete floor, cold storage plant and all modern machinery used in the operation of dairy, to cost $5,5O0. At the Deaf Mute Institute a large addition is being constructed to the industrial department, in which will be placed all of the wood work ing machinery. The boiler plant has been overhauled and one new so horsepower boiler has been installed and the other boiler has set. The expenditures for new structures and the installation of this work has been about $15,000 At the Blind School a fire protection system similar to the one at the Deaf Mute asylum with the exception that the water used for the system $ pumped from well on the premises, the well having a capacity of from 15,OO0 to 10000 gallons per day, and which also may be connect ed with the city water mains, in case of fire has been installed. The negro blind and deaf mute schools have also had attention, the former having new plumbing installed and the latter entirely remodelled, reno vated and painted.

May Purchase Park.

Some time ago the Little Rock Rail- way and Electric Company offered to sell to the city, to be used as a park, the six blocks comprising West End park, for $3O,00O in consideration of the pavement of certain streets with brick instead of asphalt. An other proposition presented at the same time is for the unconditional sale of the four blocks comprised in the West End park, exclusive of that portion now used as a baseball park. for $40,000 Neither of these proposi- tions have been acted upon, but it is believed that it will come up for action within few days. The street railway people, it is understood. value the park at $60,000, and have made the offer to sell at what they claim is greatly reduced price in an endeavor to prevent the pavement of West Fifth street with asphalt.

Inspected State Capitol.

J. Massey Rhind, the sculptor of New York. who has done a number of notable pieces of work in various cities of the country, was in Little Rock recently and inspected the new state capitol, with a view to gaining an idea of what the building demands in the way of sculptural treatment. MT. Rhind was accompanied by Gil bank Twigg, who is closely associated with him in his work. MT. Rhind was much taken with the capitol as an architectural achievement, and was of the opinion that well-placed figures and groups in bronze and stone would add immeasurably to the edifice, which he said should symbolize all that is best and most striking in Ar kansas.
