Almost everybody knows the rule OF
the masons that stone used in build
ings should be SO placed that 1T Will
lie as it lay III its natural bed when
quarried. But Francis w. Hoyt. in the
Engineering News, says that this fami-
liar rule is not always to be depended
upon and needs in many cases to be
supplemented with other precautions.
There are three planes of fracture
known to quarrymen. The rift IS
the direction in which the stone splits
most easily, the grain" that which IS
next easiest; the head" that which
offers the greatest resistance. In
paving block the two sides represent
the rift fracture, the top and bottom
the grain and the ends the head. But
in a quarry the natural bed is some
times considerably inclined to the plane
of the rift; hence the imperfection OF
the ordinary rule for placing the stone
in building.

Mrs Baird, who has been called
1.-The Queen of Chess" has published
1900 chess problems, and no woman
has eclipsed the position which she
holds in the chess world. She posses
ses about fifty prizes secured in open
competitions, and Of them she has said:
These are the product of a combina-
ton of labor and recreation. I say Ia
Dor, because am not such a chess en-
thusiast as to believe that problems to
stand the public test can be produced
without persistent application, partak-
ing of the nature OF work, and recrea-

pleasure-how great a pleasure only a
problem composer can fully realize.
Mrs. Baird's father. mother, and two
brothers share her enthusiasm for
chess. She has other recreations, IN

WHEN HUNTSVILLE WAS ALABAMAS CAPITAL

Dickson, Edward Ward, Louis Winston, Alex Gilbreath and Peter Perkins as commissioners to select a place for the erection of the county buildings. The act empowered them to Secure by. pur- chase or otherwise not less than thirty or more than 100 acres to be laid out in one-half acre lots, reserving three acres for public buildings, and sell the rest on twelve months time at public outcry The money thus obtained was to go towards defraying the expenses of erecting public buildings. The present court house square was the lands reserved by these commissioners.
 The original plat of Huntsville, which was made in 1910, was never recorded and Is therefore not in existance at this day. Hunter Peel drew a plat of the town in the year 1921 and this plat Is extant By many 1t is believed that the plat by Peel is the original plat, but this is a mistake.
 In 1810 the population of Madison coun- ty was about 5000. In 1915 the popula- ton was fully 10000 and by the year 1913 the population was much greater than the population of Washington coun- ty The number of delegates to the con stitutional convention of 1sl9 from each county was based on the population and Madison county sent three delegates while Washington county sent only two.
 The old military road, running north from Huntsville, Is one of the national historical highways. The right of way for this road was conceded by the Chick asaw and Cherokee Indians in 1865. It was on this road that Alabama and Ten nessee troops marched to the defense

vile land office at the time. At this sale Le Roy Pope bought the spring property In Huntsville for $23 an acre.
 In Alabama, north of the Tennessee river, in those early days the Tennes- see Land company held a deed to one million acres of land. The land now occupied by Huntsville was included in this tract. The company had purchased this land at a public sale In 1794 au- thorized by the governor of Georgia. This property covered the spring and nearly all of the present city of Huntsville. The purchase price was s1 an acre. The last of these deeds was to Martin Beatty and Benjamin Estill. This deed was for "40,O0o acres less 6000 acres already sold" This land was near Huntsville. In the year 1914 Congress appropriated s6O0,0OO of script and purchased all Of this land claimed by the Tennessee Land company. This script was known as ''Mississippi stock" Prior to the gov ernment land sale in 1909 Martin Beatty had relinquished his claim to his land in Huntsville. In the archives of the probate judges office in Huntsville there is today a small record book which con tains a record of the deed to Martin Realty from the Tennessee Land com pany besides a number of other records of deeds given about the same time All of these deeds were recorded during the years 1S10 and 1s11. The deed book was made by hand and is to this day remarkably we'll preserved

The Indians of this locality were friendly and left behind them no accounts of bloody battles with the whites.
 Early Settlers.
 The early settlers of Madison county came from the mountains of Tennessee and the pine woods of Georgia and were of the pioneer type. They had fought many battles with the Indians in their own country and were inured to all the dangers of Indian warfare, but they found the Alabama Indians friendly and their weapons of warfare were laid aside for those of industry. Soon the story of the beautiful mountains and fertile fields of Madison county was spred far and wide and ere long many people of culture came from various states and soon established beautiful homes in the valleys among the mountain peaks of Madison county. As result the county grew rapidly in population and soon sur passed in population Washington coun- ty. the oldest county in the state.

have the largest yield of the best by products, there is happy adjustment of sometimes conflicting interests. But this Is the very point. Between the largest yield of the best by-products there is room for many differences of opinion.
 Aside from these matters, however, there is one immutable law which gov erns alike the beehive and the recovery oven. for the production of good coke one must have good raw materials.
 It Is useless to dump almost any old stuff into an oven, whether recovery or beehive, and expect to get good coke recovery oven can make better coke of even this depends largely on the fine has often been observed that a coal which did not make good coke in the beehive oven yielded a fair product from the recovery oven, but this may have been due quite as much to the important differences In the initial temperatures as to any other single circumstance. It is here that we come upon one of the most vital considerations in coke making, the initial temperature in the oven. The rapidity with which the coke Is dis charged from the recovery oven Git sell dom takes more than two or three min- utes to push the coke out) and the water ing of the coke outside of the oven leaves the coking chamber in excellent condition for the new charge. The fresh coal Is put into an oven already very hot and the coking proceeds rapidly

will be about ten times as much and certainly the increased yield will not counterbalance this difference in cost We have to come back to the value of the by-products in order to establish a workable ratio between the two installa- tions.
 There must be possible an economic use of the gas from the recovery oven on the spot or within easy distances, and n market for the tar and for the ammonlacal liquors from which sulphate of ammonia, etc., is made. Such are the conditions under which the recovery oven has to work and these conditions are not found in every iron district.
 It may happen that the interests of the recovery oven operators and the blast furnace people do not always coin eide. Working principally for the by products 1t is conceivable that the quality of the coke may suffer. It Is of no spe- cill importance to the coke maker to hold the coke in the oven beyond the point at which his valuable by-products cease to be given off. When this is reached 1t Is to his interest to discharge the oven and put In a fresh supply of coal. The profitable evolution of his by-products may stop short of the point a. which the best coke is made.
 The furnace man wants the very best coke he can get irrespective of the yield or composition of the by-products. The coke maker wants the highest yield of the best by-products, irrespective of the quality of the coke. If it should happen that the best coke Is made when we

 Blake was a good-looking young fel- low. about 29. He was also the possessor of sporty inclinatons. He's gone now so it won't do any harm to tell the story
 Blake was astonished so emphatically in this way: He was loaflng around in front of the desk here a week ago last night when two men from Goldheld, New, came up. They were looking for some body to play poker with them.
 They told me what they wanted and invited me to join them. l was busy and declined their invitation. Blake heard them ask me, however. and he gave me a hint in the shape of a smile
 'I introduced him. and he said he'd like to get into q little game. The Goldfield men were delighted, and the three went to the room occupied by the mining pro- motors, for such the two Nevada men were.
 They played along in a dollar limit game for an hour and then l went up to see how things were progressing. Just alter l entered the room the eastern young man received his surprise.
 Blake had been losing and had but half a dozen chips before him. A hand was dealt. and after the draw one of the Goldfield men bet a dollar. The other GoIdfield man raised him the limit.
 "It didn't look good to Blake and he dropped out The two mining promoters then began to buck each other. They took off the limit by agreement and 1t

 We remained during the services and heard the priest preach to these people in their own language while they observed reverence and attention which was a marked contrast to many congregations of people who boast of higher civiliza- tion.

 A superior court of law and equity for Madison county was established by an act of the United States congress in May 1Sl0. This court was located at Huntsville and was presided over by Judge Obadiah Jones' Peter Perkins was clerk and John ". Walker was attor- ne. general. Eli Norman was convicted of murder by this court and hanged. This was the first murder trial ever held in Alabama.
 Many Noted Men.
 Huntsville was perhaps the home of more noted men than any other town in Alabama. Nine of the governors of the state were either born there or re- sided there for portion of their lives. They were William Wyatt Bibb, Thomas Bibb Gabriel Moore. c. c. Clay, Reuben Chapman, John A. Winston, Robert Pat ton, D. P. Lewis and IL. A. ONeal. Eight United States senators and two Confed- crate senators came from Huntsville. The United States senators were John w.. Walker, William Kelley, Henry Cham bers, John Mckinley. Gabriel Moore, c. C. Clay, Jere Clemens. c. c. Clay, Jr. The Confederate senators were c. C.. Clay, Jr., Richard w. Walker
 What widely different story is that of old St. Stephens on the Tombigbee river, where the first territorial govern ment of Alabama was located. and that of Huntsville, among the mountains of Madison county, where the first capitol of the state of Alabama was. The story of old St. Stephens Is one of sadness the story of Huntsville one of sunshine and happiness. Old St. Stephens was once the principal town in Alabama To- day hardly a trace of che town remains Her buildings are gone and her streets are now covered with a jungle of vines and bushes. Huntsville has grown and prospered all these years until today she is one of the leading cities of North Alabama Old St. Stephens never had a church within her borders and her people

 mons, the buildings that the early set tiers of Huntsville erected were houses of religious worship and her people have always been rellgiousiy inclined.

Some one has well said that the culture of Huntsville's wo- men is only exceeded by their lovely character and beauty.
 Years ago old St. Stephens fell: today Huntsville continues to thrieve and grow.

with a consequent improvement in yield and in quality. If the same conditions could be observed in the beehive oven we would hear less of the differences in yield between the two processes.
 There are four principal conditions af- fectng the successful use of the bee- hive oven:
 1. Washing and dislntegration of the coal.
 ?. Rapid charging into hot oven
 3. Rapid discharge of the coke from the oven.
 1. Watering on the outside of the oven.
 Of these four the first is of the greater importance. Washing the coal rids it of substances which not only do not contribute to the value of the subse- ouent product but actually affect 1t in- juriously. Slate and bone coal and sul- phur-bearing compounds are of no value in coke. They are always a detriment and should be removed as far as possible, before the coal goes into the oven. It has been argued by some people that coal needs a certain amount of ash-formng ingredients in order to give to the cell walls of the coke the strength required that carbon of and for itself does not and cannot give this strength and with out 1t the coke would crumble to a con- dition little better than dust.
 It is true that coke must have a certain strength, it must be capable of with standing the pressure of the burden in the blast furnace and especially the rub ping to and fro it receives from the mate-

coal intended for the coke ovens should be dislntegrated, the fineness of the crushing depending to a great extent upon the nature of the coal.
 All ooals do not require to be crushed alike for the production of the best coke from that particular coal and it is not possible to give any hard and fast rule governing this matter. If the crusher or dlsintegrator Is set for one inch sig ing on a certain coal it does not follow that this applies equally as well on an- other coal. 1t all depends on the coal and each one must be studied separately. Of all the constituents of the blast fur mace burden the greatest care should be given to the coke. It is not alone th- most costly ingredient in the produc- uon of pig iron but 1t determines, mora than any other single thing, the output of the furnace and the quality of the iron In 1S96 at a certain furnace plant in Alabama, the total cost of raw mate rials entering into a ton of pig iron vas S457g, distributed as follows: Ore, S171S. limestone, SIPS; coke, $2735. In other words, the cost of the coke was nearly 60 per cent of the total cost of the raw materials During this year the cost of the coke was 42.3 per cent of the total cost of the iron including ore, lime stone, coke, labor, supplies. current re- pairs, general expenses, refining taxes and bad debts. It Is not likely that the proportion of the costs borne by the coke has materially changed during the last few years.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-04-07

words, the coke was the by-product, the gas tar and ammonacal liquor con- stituting the chief values.
 Why, then do we continue to use the beehive oven and to lose valuable products? Because it does not always pay to save them. Granting that the quality of the coke made in the recovery oven is equal to that made in the bee hive oven and that the yield is larger we have to consider the difference in the initial cost of the two installations, the operating expenses and the disposal of the by-products. Unless profitable mar ket can be secured for the by-produets it understands itself, as our German friends say, that there is not much to choose between the two systems. Recov- cry coke is certainly no better than bee hive coke, l. e., in the blast furnace and the foundry the service, per unit of carbon. is no higher than the services from beehive coke. It may well be doubted whether it Is as high, some ex- periments on a large scale having shown that 1t required 10 per cent more of recovery coke to accomplish equal re- suits. But we will let this point pass, for the present
 The increased yield of coke from the recovery oven is not sufficient to over come the large difference in the oonstruc- tion costs. The cost of battery of 100 beehive ovens varies from $25,000 to $90,- 000 The cost of a battery of recovery ovens to yield the same amount of coke,
