SmokeIess Coal.

A LSadOa inventor claims to have
discovered 8 process for producing
amokelsss coal, apparently by distil-
iation 81 coal az q low temperature.
This, after distillation, is said to de-
Eosit very brilliant substance, the
heating properties of which are far
greater than those OF the original
coal. and which is absolutely free
from smoke and dirt. The inventor
contends that efforts to overcome the
smoke plague have hitherto been un-
successful because they have been
made In the wrong direction, aRd
that b. ths extraction Of the smoke
producing material in coal before be-
ing burned, be has been successful
In producing q smokelesB coal.

What sight for Ceylon elephant

Ceylon is the only part Of the world
where the male elephants have no

inches from the upper jaw and in

As History Might Be Taught.

Another way of teaching history
which the schools might adopt has
apparently not appealed to them. A
good newspaper, il the teacher
knows how to interpret its daily rec
ord, may stimulate an interest in
history Itself II the pupil can be
taught the continuity and relation OF
events, an awakened interest in the
daily happenings will arouse a de-
sire to trace them back through pre-
ceding stages. 1t is the break in
continuity between the past and the
immediate present that deadens en-
thusiasm. BY studying history
backward from the immediate pres
ent this chasm would be bridged
and the passion for tracing to cause
stimulated.-Bos Transcript

DEATH TRAP FOR BIRDS.

tract and Kill Thousands.
One of the keepers who came ashore
from Boon Island recently tells the
story of the strange death encoun-
tered by thousands of the migrat-
ing birds every spring. Flying along
the coast at night they are instantly
attracted by the powerful light from
the watch tower, as moths are drawn
to a candle. Thousands of these
birds In their passage north fly with
full force against the thick glass Of
the brilliantly lighted lantern.
Stunned to death they fall to the
rocks below or scale away for lit
tie distance and flutter helplessly in
to the water. The light of morning
sometimes reveals the rocks covered
with the little creatures whose jour
ney to their summer homes has met
this sudden and fatal termination.
Hundreds Of species are found
among the unfortunate little tour
lists Most of them are easily rec
ognized as belonging to the various
common classes of song birds. But
very often large birds of beautiful
plumage come to their final resting
place in this manner upon the bleak
rocks, of Boon Island. On one occa-
sion several years ago the thick
glass of the lantern was shivered to
atoms by the impact of some strange
bird Of powerful bill.-York Tran

New York City.-Human blood
went at bargain-counter prices in
Bellevue Hospital when for $40 q
guest of Mills Hotel No. 8 sold f1f-
teen ounces OF his life fluid, thereby
probably saving the life of John Dem
nison, 10 years old, a patient suTer-
ing from malignant growth on the
right leg. There was nothing heroic
about the manner in which TIE nan
sold his blood. 1t was purely bas-
iness proposition. The Mills Hotel
man needed the te1-spOt I'D felt he
could spare the Hoo I. The father
of the patient, tLorEh poor, felt he
could spare the SO in view Of his
sons need for the FRESH Eiood.
Striking a bargain between buyer
and seller was easy. Dennison's faith
er went to Mills Hotel No. and
announced he was in the market for
human blood. He explained that his
son was in Bellevue Hospital and
that the surgeons we're anxious 70
transfuse the blood Of a healthy per.
son into the body Of the boy.
''The doctors want a strong man
who Is healthy IN every way" ths
father explained.
A guest registered as Mark owen.
who refused to tell anything further
about himself, stepped forward, and
remarked he would like to knew
more about it.
Big, broad-shouIdered, with the
glow of health in his cheeks, he
looked as If he would pass the test Of
the physicians.
''I guess you'll do" said Dennison.
How much blood do you wantS"
asked Owen.
Fifteen ounces"
How much do I get3"
"Ten dollars"
I'm your man." and the bargain
was struck. The rate was 86 2-s
cents an onuee.
Up TO Bellevue Hospital marched
Dennison and Owen. The surgeons
examined the man who was willing
to sell fifteen ounces Of his blood for
$40, and told him he would do. The
nature of the operation then was ex-
planned to him.
He was told that the patient was
suffering from what is known as saH-
coma, q malignant growth. To save
| the boys life it was necessary to take
from his body about sixteen ounces
OF the impure blood and transfuse in
the body about fifteen ounces Of
healthy fluid.

during the operation" Owen said.
mo anaesthetics will be given"
replied one of the surgeons. ''We'n
| deaden the pain by an injection Of
cocaine"
Go ahead" said Owen. "rm
ready"
Dennison was placed on the OPP
Grating table and Owen was laid on
another table. Between the two was
a narrow table upon which the boy
and the man each placed an arm.
The surgeons made an incisiOn In
the boys upper arm and blood was
permitted TO flow from the upper
part Of the median vein, while the
lower part was closed. In this way
the boy was relieved Of about six
teen ounces OF his impure and un-
nourished blood An incision then
was made in the forearm Of the man.
The surgeons rapidly connected the
lower ligament Of the mans radial
artery with the upper vein Of the
boys arm, and the blood Of the man
began to pass into the body Of the
boy.
Dennison and Owen watched each
other coolly throughout the opera
ton. Not a whimper came from the
boy, net q groan from the man.
When the operation was over the
boys temperature showed marked
improvement.
owen was weak after the opera
tion. He took a stimulant and then
left the hospital. not forgetting, OF
course, to collect his $40 before
leaving.

GREAT INVENTION MADE RY AL

BE USED FOR HEATING AND
cookINe-cHEAPER THAN COAL
AT SIS.


A great Improvement in electrical
heating has been discovered by j. S.
Webster, the well known electrical en-
gineer Mr.. Webster has perfected a
device for heating houses by electricity.
II is quite inexpensive and SO simple
that the apparatus can be placed with
In the reach of all. 1t is SO constructed
that the cook stoves and heaters now
in use can be adapted for it's use. A
careful study of the device develops
the fact that even with the prices
charged for electricity In Fargo, the
cost of heating and cooking with the
Webster invention, will be less than
the cost OF the same amount Of heat
derived from hard COAL the figures are
based on coal at So per ton.
Mr., Webster was at one time resi-
dent of this county and is well known
In Casselton and other parts of the
state. Ills work on several important
Engineering feats in the twin cities
has given him wide reputation as
one Of the best electricians in the
country.
The North Dakota Heat & Power
Co. has secured exclusive rights to
handle the invention, and will soon
commence placing heaters on the mar
ket. Efforts are being made to locate
q manufacturing plant in Fargo.
