they wanted. They knew in general way
what they were after but did not know in
what directions to look for it. Mr.. Smith
would set them right at once. He seemed
deed tell them what they themselves did
not know they wanted Then he would
tell them where to find it, which was a
double service.
AS might be supposed, he was a busy
man. His Office was likely to be thronged
with people making all kinds of harassing
and sometimes seemingly Impossible re-
quests. The man has yet to appear who
will say that he ever failed to receive
courteous treatment. at Mr.. Smiths hand
1t seemed as if nothing was too much
for him. Let the Senate sit thirty or forty
hours at time as often it has done, and
he was at his desk ready to answer
promptly. politely and effectively. That
is what wore him out. His acquaintance
this service of detail; his friends know it to
be true.
In recent years he had been failing physi-
cally, but never mentally. His frame was
meager and delicate, but his mind was
strong. Once he dropped out of his chair
completely exhausted, but in a day or two
insisted upon being back at the desk. He
was not only held in high regard by public
men, but was beloved by them. Sena-
tors and the older representatives looked
upon him as a friend. He was something
more than employe of Congress.
He was widely known over the country.
Every one who wrote to the document room
for information received attention. Scien-
lists. literateurs, writers on economics an
politics, historians and others depende
upon him. Every librarian in the country
knew AMI Smith, by reputation If not per-
sonally and probably felt that he knew
him personally.
He was born in West Newton, Pa. In
1s43, and had resided here since 1864. He
left wife, two daughters and two sons;
Mrs. Schroyer of Milton. Pa: Mrs. Rich
ard Halves of this city; AMI Smith, jr., of
johnson City, Tenn, and Frank Smith,
an architect, of Boston.
His office was left in charge of trained
men, who served under him for years, at
the head of whom is George Boyd. who
has been Mr. Smiths right-hand man In
recent years and upon whom has devolved
most of the hard work of the office.

Tests of Heat Producers.

Geological survey officials are to conduct
a test at their fuel-testing plant at Nor
folk, Va, of $50 tons of West Virginia
ccal in briquettes. AT the same time a
series of experiments on gasoline and other
heat and power producers are to be carried
on. The experts hope to. show that the
briquettes have more efficiency than lump
coal from the same mine, and that they
are practically SmokelesS. Results already
obtained from the briquettes prove that on
boilers requiring force draft like locomotive
boilers, the briquettes so increases the eff
fciency to more than offset the in
creased cost of making. They are made
into, blocks by mixing waste or slack coal,
culm. Ignite or peat, with sufficient tar
or other binding material to hold the coal
together One of the main ideas in view
from the experiments is that of conserving
the fuel resources of the country.

Fights and Fighting.

'The idea has been forwarded and almost
agreed to, of placing at the head Of great
trusts whose formation and proceedings are
suspected temporary administrator,
charged with the direction of their affairs
where they form a dangerous agglomera
ton of Companies. What is that but a
form of naturalization or specialization OF
undertakings and private property? Those
who see in the presidential campaign q
precedent which will inevitably later on be
invoked by propagandists and promoters of
purely demagogic doctrines are assuredly
not altogether wrong.
ITO throw ones self at full speed with
eyes shut into the thick of a fight may be
excellent tactics on a battlefield, and Mr.
Roosevelt himself has proved it in Cuba
but undoubtedly, it is hardly so commenda-
BILE when it is a question not Of giving or
receiving blows but of solving difficusie
borne from the nature of things from the
over-rapid development Of industry in an
ardent young nation"
