GETS RID OF SMOKE
HOW SOFT COAL NUISANCE
IS ABATED.
Professor Breckenridge Tells How He
Has Succeeded in Operating Chicago
University Fires.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-Professor L. P.
Breckenridge. director of the engineering
experiment station of the University OF
Illinois and engineer in charge of the
steam engineering division of the United
states Geological Survey In a recent In
terview outlined solution of the smoke
problem of the country. basing his state
ments on experiments that have made the
2O9o-horsepower heating plant of the uni
Versity snokeless for the last two years.
Since the publication of the interview, in
winch the professor explained that the
way to burn soft coal without smnIxe was
to prevent the flame from reaching the
bottom Of the boiler. he has ben deluged
with inquiries from engineers and others
requesting more detailed statements of his
method of operating a smokcless plant
In response the professor has prepared
the following statement:
me engineering experiment station Of
the University of Illinois has for the mast
year been conducting series Of expert
ments relating to the methods of burning
Illinois coal both with economy and with
Out smoke. These tests have been made
uaoer water-tube boiler of 210-h horse
power 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, maxi
Ing a tile roof furnace
The draught has been furnished by a
1an drawing the air through the fire the
usual induced draught system With this
equipment over 100 tests have been made
OF from eight to ten hours duration, soft
coal being used entirely. With this setting
no smoke has been made during the oper-
alton OF the boiler after the fires were well
started
with two types of house-heating boilers.
In these tests different fuels are being
compared, such as anthracite and bitumi-
nous coal, coke, and briquetted Goals from
the government testing plant The United
States Geological Survey, through its tech
nologic branch, Is cooperating with the
Illinois experiment station in these ex-
periments
1T should be clearly borne In mind that
soft coal can be burned without the dense
black smoke which usually is seen issuing
from chimneys where 1t is used. Fol
ninety per cent of the time no black
smoke should be seen. Large plants are
more easily made smokeless than small
ones OF 100-horse power or less
THE proper construction OF furnaces for
smokeless combustion Is a subject ia
millar to the leading mechanical engineers
Of the country. and local engineers are
more Likely to suggest correct remedies
than are engineers from a distance. The
smoke nuisance will be mostly cured by
the use Of mechanical stokers suited TO
cheap Goals Of each locality, but the stokel
must be combined with the proper furnace
details to fit the coal used.
Uniformity in the size of coal will help
to solve the problem. Careful firing, which
is unusual, Gun avoid one-half the smoke
In the ordinary hand-fired furnace"

FRENCH PEASANT COOKS.
Know Nothing of Cooking as Fine
Art-Fasts and Feasts.

We are accustomed to think of cooking
as being a universal art among the French.
We seem to have heard vaguely of de-
licious repasts concocted out OF nothing g
with the help of charcoal fire and
small pot.
Certainly among the bourgeoisie that
miracle seems sometimes to accomplish
itself, but In the matter Of cookery as a
fine art, writes a correspondent of the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, the peasant
belongs to a different world. fIe knows
very little about it. and does not wish to
know, because It is regarded as a costly
and unnecessary luxury. His breakfast
consists of thin soup made of beans and
water with perhaps taste of bacon for
hayoring, and thin slices of brown bread
to give 1t substance. Potatoes and one
other dish--frequentlv coarse sort of
pancake-form the MONDAY meal The
supper will be more sustaining. with thin
wine or cider as a beverage

food, which yet cost nothing, and some
times he eats things that seem revolving
to us, though | am quite willing to admit
that clean or unclean, IN the matter of
food, is largely n question of inherited
prejudice. He is very fond of snuff, and
so, for that matter, are the priests. 1
have often seen them take 1t even In
church.
Normandy is rich province, and its
peasants are better fed than those of
other parts of the country. There is
tradition that in olden days meat was so
cheap and plentiful that 1t was used to
feed the pigs In the monasteries. They
drink a great deal of cider, especially in
the pays de Caux." and II is said that
this is the explanation of their bad teeth.
The dress of the peasant women In this
part of Normandy is extremely pictur-
esque, with the long frllled coat and the
hood which som stimes rev sals a pretty,
piquant face.
As contrast to the general frugaiity
Of the peasants lives, there are the we'd

The trust pushed the electric

with his 200 pounds, sat down on
the water franchise. 1t held a
clause like this:
I'VE reserve the right to shut off
