beginning already, for you will have
two sides already built, but it would
be more accessible If constructed In
the center of the room
a very convenient size is four feet
square with small door near the
floor TO permit access to the stove and
another door three feet or more from
the floor, which is the full width Of
the evaporator and reaches to the cell
Ing with hinges at the bottom, so that
it may be let down on to some support
and so form shelf when open.
The stovepipe should be arranged I'm
the form of spiral SO as to throw off
as much heat as possible, and this
may be accomplished by using com
mon elbows and few short joints Of
pipe. Set the first elbow on the stove
opening and turn the next one hori-
Zontally, making at least one circuit
OF the compartment within q foot Of
the top of the stove. completing an
approximate circle about three feet in
diameter. Then the pipe may be car
ricd outside through convenient
opening and run up either on the in
side of the main building or outside.
Only one set of trays may be used
in this cvaporator, and these will be
held in place by cleats nailed to the
inside ut such intervals as will allow
the trays TO slide one above the other
and should extend from just above the
coil of pipe to the ceiling. The trays
when filed with fruit are put in and
removed through tho large upper door
and are so constructed that they fill the
space entirely. being four feet square.
The trays should be made so that
they can be used either side up. Eight
pieces OF lumber one and one-quarter
inches square and four feet long with
piece of half inch mesh galvanized
wire netting four feet square are the
materials used for one tray. The net
ting stretched and nailed between the
two pieces make good reversible
tray four feet square and one and one
quarter inches deep.

cHARLERoI, May u.-unless
Manager Hunt of the Fairmont team
changes his mind before the gong
rings tomorrow, George Gates will
take his position at short when the
team romps onto the field. Tonight It
was decided to give the Dutchman a
chance In the game and Harry Slagle
will be given an opportunity to rest
on the bench.
This change was decided upon only
after Fairmont lost a game. There
was nothing on earth that would cause
Hunt to change his lineup so long
as the team was winning. Daley will
likely catch today, giving Jackley
much needed rest.
While no one on the team has q
single thing against Gates, there are
several who do not agree that to take
Slagle out is an opoprtune move. He
has been covering his territory in
most creditable manner beating any
thing in the league in getting them
over to Carmony. Neither Gates or
anyone else can have anything on this
Dutchman in fielding, while his bat
ting is better than the bow scores
give him credit, In the last game
with Uniontown slagle hit fine sin
gle over short stop for which he got
no credit in the papers.
The visiting squad is the most SUI
perstitious bunch that ever visited the
town. Not a man will go to bat unless
he rubs his stick on horseshoe that
followed the team during It's victorl.
