MAKING CHARCOAL.

XKYHEN we build a fire of wood, we
w have nothing but a blaze and
smoke. ana afterwards ashes;
everything has disappeared into the
air except a heap of grayish, powdery
remains. How. then, do the charcoal
burners manage to turn sticks of wod
into sticks of carbon, with no ashes
remainingg Did you ever hear an x
PLANTATION of the process?
Small sticks of wood, uniform in
length. are piled up in round heaps
with a hole in the middle for a CHM
ney. Connected with that hole is an
ether which runs along the ground
outside the heap, so as to make a
draught for the chimney. When the
pile is completed the spaces between
the sticks are filed with twigs and
chips. and even with leaves. so as to
make the pile even, n then earth Is
thrown over it and sods put on the
earth. Then fire is put at the bottom
of the chimney. and by letting the heap
nave just enough air to make the wood
burn without blazing, the sticks are
charred without being consumed.
The philosophy of the process is this:
Wood is made up chiefly of carbon, n
it is tina carbon that is TO be preserved
as charcoal, If, then, enough of the
oxygen of the air be allowed to get to
the wood to drive out of ii all the
things of which it is composed except
the carbon. and not enough to set 1t 10
blazing. the desired result may be
reached
Great care has to be taken to prevent
the air from getting TO all parts of the
heap. and fresh earth and sods are
often added. A small heap of sticks
will turn to charcoal in about a week;
larger Heaps require two are three
weeks. The holes are then all closed,
and the heap of charred sticks left two
or three days to cool off. The heap Is
then torn down, and the sticks are
spread on the ground.
This part of the work is usually done
at night, for any remains of fire may
then be seen more easily and entirely
extinguished. That is why you hear OF
the charcoal burners as men who work
at night.

MISS HERO WINS
$4,000 VERDICT
FOR HEART PANGS
Jury Decides That Zelaya Must
Pay That Amount to
Tilted Girl.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia jury in the
Supreme Court has decided hat DR..
Anibal Zelaya, a relative of ex-Presi-
dent Zelaya, of Nicaragua, must pay
$1,000 to Miss Juliet Hero, the Greek
girl who sued him for breach of prom
Use to marry her. She had sued for
500, 900. The jurors deliberated three
hours.
When the amount was announced the
plaintiff plainly showed she was disap-
pointed.
THAT does not repay me for half the
suffering that / have had to endure"
was her comment.
Mrs. E~vangeline Canto, sister of the
plaintiff, and her chief witness, was
jubilant. This vindicates u.s." she told
her friends.
DR.. Zelaya did not seem downcast
by the verdict. 1T might as well have
been $50, 900 as 50. 000," he remarked. II
can pay n amount as easy as the
other. i. have no money"
Zelaya's counsel moved to have the
verdict set aside and for a new trial.
His pleas were denied by Justice Bis
choff.
According to the plaintiffs attorneys,
failure of Zelaya to pay the judgment
will render him liable to arrest and
incarceration in Ludlow Street Jail.
He is understood to he under a 81, 900
bond to assure his appearance in the
court when needed. DR.. Zelaya said his
plans for the future are unsettled. He
may return to Nicaragua.
