SPANISH PENSIONS
 ARE IN DEMAND
SEVERAL SUITS ARE BEING FILED BY ALLEGED HEIRS OF ROYAL TY-INFANT ALPHoNso IS AL LOWED 25o,ooo PEsETAs.

Madrid, February s.-rhe question of alIoting a pension of 250,0oO pesetas to the infant Alphonso, the son of Don Carlos of Bourbon, and the Princess of Asturia, who recently married Princess Luois of Orleans, has received the approval of the council of state and now goes before the Cortes. But it has raised many com plications, not the least interesting Of which are suits for similar allowances brought by the natural children of Al- phonso XII, Elna Sang, former we'll known Spanish actress, and natural cousin of the King named Carlos Allen Perkins, second rate, but popular actor in the music halls of the capital
 Many of the pensions allotted to the collateral branches of the royal family were suppressed during the dynastic trou- bles in the first half of the century, and the revolution of 1868 and not rehabili- tated at the time of the restoration. Perkins claim goes back to his great grandmother. the famous infanta Char lotta, who provoked the Carlist war by obliging Ferdinand VII to admit the principle of the salic law. It was he who
 
 mier. and drew from him the historic re- tort: White hands are not offensiVe
 Perkins birth is not recorded In Gotha, but he insists that his real name Is Don Francisco Carlos Pic Jose Alphonso Luis Fernando Allen Perkins Gurwisky Bour- bon Lutherlan Jossen Drichma Vrichina Ottendorf," and consequently the blood relative of most of the reigning sover- eigns of Europe. If Perkins, who, by the way, bears a striking resemblance to the present King, wins his suit he announces that he will devote the proceeds to the education of his children and aeronautic experiments-dirgibles and aeroplanes-in which he is greatly interested.
 The suit of the heirs of Elna Sang for recognition as natural children of Alphonso XII Is now in progress. Mel Quaides Alvarez. a republican deputy, IS the lawyer for the plaintiffs. Among the witnesses are some of the grandes of Spain, Marquis dAltaville, Duke of Sesto, and Marquis of Borg. who was master of the royal palace during the late Kings reign.

PEACE CONFERENCE IN NORTH CAROLINA
 
Will Be Held In Wilmington
 First Week In May
AN ELABORATE PROGRAMME
Mrs. Donald Mclean, Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson and Captain Hobson Are Among the
 Prominent Speakers.

Washington February 9.-Arrangements have been completed for the holding of a peace conference at Wilmington, N. C., the first week in May. The congress will occur on the first anniversary of the North Carolina Peace society, organized immediately after and as result of the great national peace congress, held In New York last year. The purpose of the congress is to spread among the people the accurate progress approved by the second Hague conference, and to popu- larize the ideas which the American group of the interparliamentary union desires to propose at the approaching interpariia- mentary conference to be held at Berlin next August
 Senator's Simmons and Overman and Representative Stall of the North Caro- lima delegation at Washington, are hon orary presidents of the North Carolina Peace society, and they will take a prom inent part in the proposed congress. Sev- eral other senator's and members of the House have consented to assist them, notable among these being Senator Me Creary of Kentucky, author of the reso- lution, unanimously approved by Congress in 1888. upon which the union of American republics is founded, and Representative Bartholdt of St. Louis. president of the arbitration group in Congress.
 The programme of the North Carolina congress is being rapidly completed, and in such a way that the most eminent au- thorities on all phases of the peace move- ment will speak. It is expected to have representatives from the army and navy and of the patriotic societies that have sprung up in the wake of past wars prominent in the work of this congress. Already Mrs Donald Mclean, president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution; Mrs. Lizzie George Tender, son of Mississippi formerly president gen. eral of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson have consented to be present and make addresses.

TREATING TELEGRAPH POLES.
Department Offers Plan for creosoting
 Woods.

Washington, February 9--(Special. l.)-The
 immense demand for telegraph and tele-
 phone poles is one of the heavy drains
 upon the forests. The cost of maintaining
 lives is high. and it is getting to be more
 and more a practice to give poles some
 sort of preservative treatment in order
 to check decay and get the fullest service
 out of them. Arborvitae, or northern
 white cedar, is we'll suited for the produc-
 tion of poles. It grows naturally in suit
 able form and is strong, light in weight
 and durable. In fact, it combines the
 qualities most demanded. Moreover, it
 takes preservatives very well.
 Unfortunately arborvitae is not very plen-
 tiful. and it grows so slowly that it
 takes couple of centuries for it to reach
 serviceable size. In the last dozen years
 its price has risen 15O per cent. There
 are the best of reasons, therefore, for
 using the present supply as carefully as
 possible. Our grea at-great-grandchildre will have come and gone before the seeds now sprouting will be trees ready to cut. Arborvitae poles are most easily cut
 and hauled in late fall and winter. When
 
 ing, which is done with most advantage
 during spring and early summer. If peeled
 and arranged for drying in a single layer.
 they will be ready for treatment in June. A fairly good treatment with either ere
 ocote or carbolineum can be given by ap-
 plying the oils warm with brush. Two
 coats of carboineum can be applied for
 a distance of six feet, beginning two feet from the butt, for 45 cents per pole A similar treatment with creosote can be
 given for 12 cents. Since the average life of an untreated arborvtae pole is 12 years and it's cost set in the line S9, the carDo- lineum brush treatment would have to add only one year and the creosote brush treatment only four months to the life of a pole in order to pay for the additional expense.
 1 By means of the "open-tank' treat ment with creosote a greater additional length of service can be secured, so that
 this method is advisable wherever quan- titles of poles are being prepared for use. The equipment consists of sheet iron tank about eight feet long, five feet wide and eight feet deep, equipped with steam coils or f1rplace beneath A small der- rick, or "gin pole.'' may be used to hoist and lower the poles into the tank. The poles should be immersed seven feet in the creosote, heated to about 200 degrees
 F., and kept there for about six hours. The heat can then be shut off and the oil allowed to cool. Several poles can be treated at once, and the cost will be from S1 to s1.50 per pole.
 Circular 136 of the forest service gives description of experiments in seasoning and treating arborvitae poles in the upper peninsula of Michigan, together with a tabulation and discussion of the results This publication can be had upon appli- eatfon to the forester at Washington.

Value of Coal.

''rhe value of coal is indicated by the number of heat units it contains
 This heating value Is expressed in terms of British thermal units per pound of coal. The British thermal unit is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. Of several coals having 6 similar com position, the one wh ich has the least moisture and the least ash will gen crate the most steam when burned under boiler. Ash is made up of earthy matter and other impurities which will not burn. In commercial coals it's pro- portion may range from to 25 per cent. Goals containing a small per centage of ash are most valuable, not only because of their correspondingly higher heating capacity, but because there is less resistance to the free and uniform distribution of air through the bed of coal. w. s.

Old Unsatisfactory Plan.

Many thousands of dollars worth of coal are being bought each year under the old unsatisfactory plan; but the purchasers would consider it ridicu- lous If they were asked to give a con tract for a building with no specifica tions and simply on the agreement that it should be of certain size and well constructed. Neither would they buy gold silver or even copper and iron ores on the mere information that they were mined at certain localities. All products of mines are now purchased to great extent on the basis of tn cir value as shown by chemical analysis. This is true of coal in only small degree but the number of contracts made on this basis is increa sing every year. The purchase of coal on a specification is as advantageous as a definite understanding regarding tn c quality and other features of any prod. uct. or of building operation or en- sfneering project.
 when the bidder is allowed to speci- fy the quality of the coal he proposes to furnish as determined by a chem teal analysis, he Is placed on strict
