COAL DUST AND PITCH
MAKE FUEL BRIQUETTES

The manufacture of fuel briquettes
from slack coal is a large and increas-
ing industry in Belfast. The machin-
cry used is of English manufacture and
is patented, but there is no patent on
the process employed The material is
clean slack coal, combined with from
to 10 per cent of pitch. These are
mixed by mechanical means, and the
mixture is ground to fine powder in a
disintegrator
This powdered material is fed into a
cylindrical steel pug to which super
heated steam is admitted through a
number of jets. and the material mixed
by revolving arms The pitch becomes
fluid from the heat OF the steam and by
its adhesiveness binds the particles of
coal together.
The mixture passes from the pug
into a receptacle from which 1t is forced
into steel brick shaped molds, the por-
ton in each mold being subjected to a
pressure of 10 tons. The briquettes so
formed are 5x5x3 inches in dimension
The briquettes are automatically eject
ed upon an endless belt carrier. which
delivers them to the stack room.
The operation of the machinery is
entirely automatic. and it turns out
900 briquettes per hour, which is be-
tween four and five tons. These bril-
uuettes retail at so to so cents per 100
(by COUNT. or about s5 per long ton of
2,240 pounds.
The characteristic of these briquettes
is that, if laid upon the CRATE unbroken.
their combustion is slow and steady.
while if broken. up a hot fire is pro-
duced. One or two placed upon the
household CRATE will burn slowly
through the night or day and upon
being broken up will produce splen-
did fire. They are used chiefly by the
poorer classes for domestic purposes.
Owing to the quality of slow combus-
tion. when unbroken, they are pore
economical than coal, and ton is esti-
mated to last, for household purposes,
as long as one and half tons of Eng
lish coal. 1t is estimated that from
8. 900 to 10000 tons of briquettes are
and consumed each year
in the city of Belfast alone.

PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF
WALES TOUR CORNWALL

It would not. be easy to pick out a
more picturesque tour in any part of
the country than that which the prince
and princess of Wales are just now en-
joying through the northern parts Of
Cornwall and in Devon. Travelling from
Newquay recently the route lay
through st. Austell, Liskeard and Lost
withiel all of which places are touched
by the Great Western main line through
the county to Penzance Lickeard is
one of the most ancient boroughs in
Cornwall, having been made a free
borough in 1850. It was formerly one
of the stannary towns. Its church is
one of the largest in the county. and
the borough enjoyed the distinction
previous to the reform bill of 1892 of
returning two members to parliament

AEROPLANES TO HAVE
NIGHT GUIDING LIGHTS
Combinations of Letters Will
Tell Country and District

The Aero club of Berlin has been
giving its attention to the question of
guiding lights for the use of aeronauts
at night time, says che London Globe
1t suggests a. combination of letters
in vivid colors, which will be clearly
seen at distancesin the dark and
which will be placed at the top of ele-
waited structures, such as clock towers,
hills and monuments. Moreover, the
letters which indicate frontiers or the
neighborhood of the sea will be spe-
cially distinguished.
Germany is to be divided into 80
sections, by 80 combinations of letters,
and France, 1t is proposed, should
adopt a special sign for each depart
ment
The project has been submitted to
all Of the principal aeronautical socie-
ties in France, Belgium, Holland, Aus

FORCIBLE METHOD OF
SECURING AFFECTIONS
Stranger Hits Escort and Then
Marches Off With Girl

A modern and evidently successful
manner of winning the affections of a
girl was included in tale of woe de-
tailed to the police by Morris Katz yes
terday.
Katz, who lives at 716 San Bruno ave-
nue., said that he was sitting on the
grass in Golden Gate park Saturday
night and by his side was a charming
young woman, into whose ears he was
murmuring such sentences as were ap-
propriate TO the balmy night.
Into his paradise he said, there sud-
denly stepped a man. big in bulk and
ferocious in demeanor. who, saying he
was an officer. hit Katz on the side of
the jaw, took away his revolver and
marched off with the girl.

Clever Sketch at Orpheum

Another Lambs club sketch has hit
the vaudeville buliseye square in the
center. 1t is "Circumstantia1 Evil
dence," and it is the big act at the
Orpheum this week; the only big act
newly provided. "CircumstantiaI Evil
dence" has in its compactness comedy
low and high, and it has pathos and
a touch of tragedy, real, unforced and
vivid 1t opens the sacred doors of
the jury room and shows the II men

some are playing cards, one is storm
ing and another is standing silently at
the window. The silent man is the
only one who remains firm for ac-
quittaL The others are firm in the
opinion that the accused is red
handed murderer.
Harrison Armstrong. who wrote the
sketch, gets out much comedy from
this situation, the sort of comedy that
catches your breath for the serious
issues through which it is shot. Many
of the lines are witty with epigram
The finish is unexpected, surprising and
convincing. The work as a whole is
another boost to vaudeville.
One other act by the new corners
will get special mention. 1t is the
limit of absurdity. It's success is ar

huge success. Ed Wynn and AL Lee in

COMEDY NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH

AS Speed, James Spottswood is good,
but he does not take his comedy seri-
ously enough. A realization of his own
imminent danger would keep his
thoughts from smiling moods if he
were on the New Mexico ranch. He
enjoys the comedy too much but is
otherwise effective.
Larry" the athletic coach whose
fate is bound up with Speeds, is huge
in more than one sense. His part is
fat" and he plays it for all it is worth.
Excellent makeup and equally good
playing characterize the work of
Frank Z. Charlton, Salvatore F. Zito,
Charles Brokate and Willis Browne.
They make precious quartet of bad
man, and Browne as Willie the Killer
and Charlton as still" are unusually
excellent. Frank Wunderlee as Berke-
ley Fresno is still another type and
well pictured
The support is excellent and the de-
velopment of the story so meaty with
farcical episodes that it makes a most
bfiarfouS entertainment

The situations wrought out of this

capacity to laugh. as when Covington

of the situation arises out of the fact
that the boys of the Flying Heart
ranch have bet their last months and
their next months pay on the result
and threaten to shoot Speed and his

Going Some" is lively farce. 1t
gets away quickly and keeps rapid
gait from start to finish. AS the sec
ond of the Shubert shows to arrive at
the Valencia theater it upbears the
producers protestations that they pro-
pose to keep Manager Seely's theater
supplied with dollar for dollar goods
AS production it is worthy to fol-
low The witching Hour" AS a play
it doesn't pretend to offer the serious
side of things. but 1T is admirably con-
sututed to provide that variety which
is spice to theater taste. Its mission
is TO create laughs and 1t succeeds in
the humane policy.
For setting, the Flying Heart ranch
in New Mexico is chosen; for charac-
ters. cowboys, sheriff shooters, train
robbers, college boys. their sweethearts
and fashionables mingle as though AL
buQuerque were a suburb of Manhattan.
On the ranch come college boys to visit,
also the fair woman student, properly
chaperoned. The cowboys on the ranch
are dismal because Cook Skinner, who
serves food to the boys on Centipede
ranch, defeated their prize runner in a
hundred yard dash and has taken as his
trophy their phonograph, itself a priced
souvenir of other victories.
