bustible when isolated. The only
problem is to separate or isolate them
after they have once been combined.
This nature is constantly doing, and
we have only to accelerate or short
circuit her processes in order to re-
store Immediately these combustible
substances to their elemental state
and have them ready to reunite at our
bidding in the phenomenon of combus-
ton. Burning, or combustion, is sim
ply the manifestation of the ac-
ton of chemical affinity. We burn the
elemental substances, hydrogen and
oxygen, by bringing them together I'M
der conditions favorable to the oper-
alton of the affinity which causes them
to unite in new chemical compound
which when condensed is water. We
separate these elements by subjecting
their compound, water, to conditions
which overcome or neutralize this af-
finity.
when we can burn hydrogen for
power, when the industrial world
awakes to the fact that prodigious ex-
penditures for coal and liquid fuel are
entirely unnecessary and that there
is right within our grasp an unlimited
supply of fuel substance available
practically without cost-for it is
self-producing there will be a revolu-
ton in the industrial world. When
the century-old theories of the indie
sUuctibility of matter and the. con-
servation of energy and matter have
once become really understood by
men, we will witness the utter col
lapse and extinction of one of the old
est and most gigantic of human indus
tries, the mining of coal.

gain the youthful lose. Statisticians
point out that length of life is greatest
among schoolmasters, or those whose
life-work is carried on among young
people. The same soulless statisticians
hold that the reason why that fair
creature of rare bloom and extra
domiciliary heart-burnings, known as
'the old mans darling" is a common
enough phenomenon in human society,
must be attributed, not so much to
profound love on the part of the adj
mirer, as to the keen interest he may
feel of prolonging his own life-span. +.
AS if to back up the learned Dr.
Martinez, Lady Violet Greville gives
to the world womans ideas on kiss
ing, writing as follows in the London
Graphic:
There is an idea abroad that kiss
ing is injurious. Mothers are urged
not to kiss their babies, lovers not to
kiss each other, and parents to refrain
from embracing their children. A
great deal of kissing might be very
properly dispensed with. The formal
peck at the parental cheek morning
and evening, the ELUSIVE embrace of
female friends ready to destroy each
others character with jealousy and
spite, the foreign habit of bearded
men clasped in each others arms, the
false kisses of the wheedling wife, or
the specious smack on the cheek of
the husband who is arranging a soil
tary holiday, all these might be sup
pressed; kissing, too, is an art and
not all it's votaries have studied the
rules.
Some kisses are horrible. There is
the slobbery kiss, the Indifferent kiss,
which wounds ones armour propre to
the quick, the salacious kiss, the hur-
ried kiss, usually administered be-
tween couples at railway station, the
brutal kiss, the clumsy kiss. But for
lovers, for mothers, what can replace
the kiss? The reverent, inspired, pas
sionate, tender kiss, the expression of
all that is noble and best in human
nature? The kiss of forgiveness, the
kiss of pity, the kiss of charity, which
elevates and restores self-respect, who
would part with these? The kiss is,
perhaps, the most perfect expression
of love, but it should be kept for the
intimate, the ecstatic, the supreme
moments of life, and never, never,
given in public"

Capt. Warren bears some resemb-
lance to the wizard of electricity,
Nikola Tesla, who speaks to me in
the highest terms of Warren's achieve
ments in the engineering world. Capt.
Warren has recently returned from
two-years' vacation cruise on a sail
ing vessel and has brought with him
the crystallized results of many
months of study and research. While
he has been sailing the deep or lead

simple life ashore he has steadily pur-

This invention is nothing less revo-
lutionary than manufacturing fuel out
of water-as Mr.. Tesla remarks the
process represents in the broadcast
sense the burning of water.
We now secure power from water
by utilizing it's weight on an old
fashioned water wheel or a modern
turbine. We also utilize the power
of water by turning it into steam.
Capt. Warren's invention separates
the chemical constituents of water
and takes advantage of the explosive
capacity of these elements in recon-
bining to produce power. The prod
uct of reconciliation is water, which,
of course, may be used over and over
as many times as extraneous forces
are applied to decompose or separate
