ANOTHER FOSSIL" FIND.

Bones Of Animal With Teeth Eleven
Inches Long Unearthed at Ness City
Ness City, Kan, April 21--A few
weeks ago some boys strOlling along
the banks Of the Walnut a short dis
lance west Of Ness City noticed a
bone sticking out Of the ground that
attracted their curiosity and they pro
ceeded to dig it out The piece meas
ured five feet two inches in length
per bone Of the leg OF some huge ami
NAL Owing to the inexperience Of the
boys in handling such fossils, the bone
was badly damaged Sam G. Shaef-
fer who has devoted cOnSid cradle
time to the investigation Of various
fossil finds in Ness county, was called
in and pronounced the specimen q
valuable one and advised the boys to
consult an expert in such matters be
caEating. The boys were anxious TO
see what they could develop further,
however, and resumed the digging and
this week they brought to light the
Jaw bone Of the animal which meas
ured from the Joint to the lover part
Of the Jaw two feet and eight inches
At the end where the Jaw united with
the head the width was two feet Each
Jaw bone was twelve inches high and
about six or seven inches thick and
having teeth eleven inches long and

plenty of money. Yet the state is
taking care OF the unfOrtunates free

DISCOVERS new KIND OF FUEL
THE CREDIT Is DUE To PENIS
YLVANIA COBBLER.
8Ioistening Ashes With Cheap Com
pound and Then Mixing With Coal
Generates New Properties.

Altoona. Pa, April 27.-The re-
markable secret for burning ashes
with coal discovered by John Gilmore
an Altoona cObbIer, and which has ex-
cited attention almost the world over,
is out Almost every householder in
Altoona is now using ii with great
saving in coal bills. Several fTell
known chemists Immediately after it
was announced that Gilmore had
solved the problem OF obtaining heat
from ashes, set to work to try to dis
cover the formula They were sue
cessful, and here it is:
Common salt, one pound.
Oxalic acid, two ounces
Water, one gallon
Mix and mOisten a mixture contain
ing one part coal and three parts ashes
and a better fuel than pure coal is
obtained.
The ashes of anthracite coal burn as
readily as do those Of bituminOUs-
This mixture viii, upon being placed
upon q burning fire, fuse into a coke
like mass and deposit but little resi-
due. The chemical action Of this
compound is thus explained:
When an eQueOuS solution OF an
alkaline salt, such as common salt, is
mixed with coal ash, the result is that
a mild I've is formed, which, when
mixed with any cOmbusUble material
such as coal, and upon the application
of heat gives OF oxygen gas thus en-
abling rapid combustion
The addition Of OxaIic acid caused
q chemical change Of greater value
than the first, for the reason that IL
results in the formation OF a carbide,
which in turn gives on acetylene gas,
this adding to the intensity Of the
heat and facilitating complete com
bustiOn.
It is possible upon moistening a
small quantity Of ashes without the
addition Of coal, to readily detect the
OdOr Of acetylene gas, and If the treat
Itch a.
fire they viii fuse and burn to fine
powder.
The compound is now being used in
many large industrial and mercantile
places here, and it is claimed for it
that il has reduced the fuel item more
than half. 1t has eliminated almost
entirely the question Of disposition Of
ashes, which has been cOnSiderab bic
where great quantities Of coal are con-
sumed.
Gilmore. who discovered the secret
and focused attention upon the posi-
bilities that Iurked in ashes, claims
that his patent viii protect him in his
secret He says he has received an
offer from the British government,
provided ne can demonstrate the prac-
ticability Of his compound.
While it is everywhere conceded
that Gilmore has conferred a great
boon upon humanity, IL is feared that
he viii not derive any tangible bene-
fits from his discovery in view Of the
facts that hundreds of others have Sc
cured the same results, following his
lead
Gilmore insists that no chemists
have discovered his secret The for
muIa published which, it is asserted,
will produce the same results, is not
as good as his, he says Hardly q day
passes, he declares, that one or more
persons do not come forward with a
claim to some such discovery. He de-
nOunces them as impOsitOrs-

Every now and then, the Topeka
Capital, which, Of the states daily
