Then Morson came in and sat beside her and
held her hand -tenderly, just as he had held
his fathers hand in the hut on the river
bank. He told her he loved her more than
million emeralds. loved her as he loved the
memory of his dead; for to him she was a
holy thing, even if she was spitfre. She
wanted to be furious with him; but he laughed
and kissed her fury all away, for it was tire
some to stay angry all the time. Besides, it
was so, so, sweet for this big, brown boy to be
sitting there beside her on the bed! 1t wasn't
quite proper, though; but her own mother
was there too, and she said it was all right; so
Valda knew, of course, that it was all right,
and went to sleep and didn't dream any more.
Perhaps the spirit of her mother made her
sleep, promising to tell her many things that
she did not know: to tell her she had lost
something, and would never want to ask it
back again; that beautiful devil had come
up out of the sea, to steal the choicest gem
that her father owned. She did not know
that in those few, feet moments when the
thief hung, gray and helpless, to the rail. he
had done far more to fitch her love than by
the passionate pleadings of a hundred tongues

apparently as free from financial care as her
richer sisters. The clerk will take his vaca-
ton money and the limit of the cashiers toll
erance to appear as we'll clad as rich club
man and to be as liberal in his expenditures
as college boy.
In the cities and towns everybody takes a
vacation of greater or less extent. The pres
sure of business is so diminished during the
summer that the great stores insist on their
clerks staying away from work for two weeks
or more, part Of the time at the employers
expense. Factories take advantage of the
dull season to close for repairs to machinery,
to straighten out stock, and to readjust organi-
cation. In many trades, such as glass and
pottery works and iron mills, a summer shut
down is we'll established custom All pro-
fessional men take vacations, the courts close,
the congregations of the churches dwindle,
and doctors shift their practices.
Among the agricultural population, after
haying and reaping the early grain there is
lull in the press of farm work which gives time
for the August excursion to the seashore. The
dwellers in the seashore cities take their vaca-
tions on the farms and the mountains of the
back country. The people of the South move
to their own springs in the Alleghenies and to
the seaside resorts of New Jersey and New
England. The Great Lakes furnish resting
spots for the Middle West, and The farther West
has its cool summer dwelling places in the
Rocky Mountains and their foothills. This
annual summer transfer of millions of people
is strong factor in welding together the differ
ent sections of the United States.

Twenty Millions Have Outings

TT is estimated that twenty million people
change their ha citations during the vaCa-
ton season for a week or longer. The Cats
kills have quarter of million summer board
creases. The Jersey coast towns have con-
slant summer population of over four hundred
thousand. The nature of farming in the hilly
country nearest to New York has been wholly
changed by this vacation influx. Summer
boarders have become the most profitable
crop. Vegetables, milk, eggs, and chickens are
sold from the farmers table to the people from
the cities, who during the rest of the year never
taste lettuce moist from the garden, eggs that
have never been Grated, and milk fresh from
the COW. The whole course of the Appalachian
chain of mountains from Georgia to New Eng
land becomes big summer boarding house,
both in average population during July and
August of more than two million.
A moderate estimate of this vacation cost
is three hundred to five hundred million dol
lars, or about the capitalization OF all the
surface, elevated, and underground railroads
that are combined in the traction merger in
New York. Including railroad fares, eight
dollars a week is about the minimum vaca-
ton expenditure at farmers boarding house,
and this cost ranges up to five hundred dollars
a week to maintain an Adirondack lodge or
thousand dollars week that the elaborate

Very few flremen can be induced to

is easier to put in enough coal to last
20 or 30 minutes at one time and have
little or nothing to do in the interval
between firings.
Difficulties are also encountered with
mechanical stokers. One of the greatest
troubles is the tendency of the fireman
to poke the fires unnecessarily instead
of using or adjusting the attachments

Bad system of Firing.

The hand-firing of plain furnaces
violates all the principles laid down for
securing good combustion. The coal is
usually supplied in large quantities at
long intervals, and the result is that at
the time of firing the temperature Of
the furnace is lowered, the resistance
to the flow of air through the fuel bed
is increased and consequently great
quantities of combustible gas which can
not be burned for lack of air and the
necessary amount of heat are generated
Hand-ired furnaces with ample combus-
ton chambers and adjustable OPENINGS
for air admission are suitable for some
kinds of coal, if tended by careful and
experienced firemen &
1T has been found in this country as
well as in Europe that when smohe is
given off there is also a loss of car
bon. monoxide and other combustible gases.
The loss due to the carbon which we
see and call smoke is seldom more than
] per cent, but the loss due to the es-
cape of the combustible gases may
amount to an additional 3 to 10 per cent
In addition there are losses due to the
heat carried away in chimney gases that
are unavoidable.
1T is a generally conceded fact that
intelligent men, trained in boiler room
practice could save 10 per cent of the
fuel used in 30 per cent of the plants
of the United States and that in another
% per cent of the plants such men could
save per cent of the fuel. 1t is the
practice of nearly all large power plants
to employ a boiler room expert and many
of them have chemists who make fire.
quent tests and investigations to deter
mine the conditions favorable to the best
economy. The saving of only few per
cent on the coal consumed will make
a handsome return for the cost of the
experimental work. There are now in a
few of our larger cities competent en-
gineers who are making speciality of
supervising boiler plants for. number
