Safety Bag Chain.

safety bag chain, extreVely simple.
but entirely adequate for the purpose
for which it Is intended. has recently been
invented by an Australian harness maker,
and should prove very useful to any one
who Is obliged to carry valuables in d
hand satchel CIR who is at all absent
minded or forgetful. The device. which is
intended primarily to prevent bag-snatch-
ers from getting away with such re-
ceptacIes and to serve as check against
carelessness in leaving money bags at
bank counters, etc, consists merely of a
chain attached to leather band, the
latter being very similar in character
to those little leather bands containing
watches which the men affect so much
just al this time. This band is buckled
around the wrist under the cuff and suf-
ficiently high up on the arm as to be
invisible to all intents and purposes
To a ring in this leather band is at
tached.a chain, on the end Of which is
snap hook. The latter is to be at
tached to the handle of the bag The
Chain Is covered with chamois or other
soft leather to prevent any rattlinS.

CAUSES OF SMOKE.
Gases Distilled From the Coal Not
Burned in Furnace.

Burned In furnace.
From the Engineering Magazine.
The direct cause of smoke is the fact
that the gases distilled from the coal are
not completely burned in the furnace be-
fore coming in contact with the surface
OF the shell Of tubes. which chills them
below the ignition temperature. Now,
these gases are the volatile hydrocarbons.
which all bituminous Goals contain to a
driven off when the coal Is heated. The
percentage OF this volatile matter varies
all the way from per cent for the east
ern anthracites to as high as 80 per cent
for the western liSnites. The larger the
percentage of volatile matter the greater
the liability to smoke production. other
things being equal, and the more difficult
is smoke prevention. The behavior Of
these volatile gases during combustion
Is complex There are good reasons for
ficiently high temperature is decomposed
into its elements. The carbon particles
are seemingly averse to combining with
oxygen, except under favorable condi-
tions. II the temperature Is too low or
the air supply insufficient the carbon re-
fuses to combine and appears later as
SCOT or smoke. We must have sufficient
air at a high temperature. The whole
question reVolveS about the point of per-
feet combustion.
We have successfully solved these prob
lens for oil. We started with smoky
torches. as the air could not get at the
body Of oil in the center of the wick
We then used fiat wick--that is, we
gave the oil more surface for the air to
act on. We then used a hollow cylindri-
cal wick. air acting on both sides. The
final step was the center core or argand
lamp. which first heated the air for the
wick supply. But when we try to force
the lamp by turning up the wick and
thereby increase the oil consumption we
get into trouble Immediately. producing
smoke. We have exactly these same con-
ditions to meet in the combustion of solid
fuel. In other words. if coal Is to be
burned with maximum economy and
without smoke 1t must be supplied with
the correct amount of air at the proper
temperature.

Animate Weakest Part Too Often Neg

BY G. H. GLOVER, d. v. NJ.
In considering the diseases to which
horselesh is heir there are two things
that should always be considered as Of
special importance-the teeth and the
feet. The average period Of usefulness
Of the horse Is curtailed several years
by the inadequacy Of the teeth. In
most horses at the age Of fifteen the
and from that time on the horse is a
hard keeper, and he real cause Is not
known by the owner. In buying horses
the teeth and the feet should receive
most careful examination.
Ordinarily. In speaking of the feet
closed by the hoof wall. Looking at it
from a standpoint OF comparative
anatomy, the foot includes all below
the knee and the hook. The artificial
conditions under which the horse is
placed and the unusual demand exact
ed Of him result in almost every case
in diseased conditions which render
hin Incapable Of doing the work he
would otherwise do. Shoeing. which
places him under artificial conditions,
combined with the hard roads. over
work and improper feeding. soon pro-
duces inf1ammatory conditions which
may result in side bones. ringbones.
coffin joint lameness. cracks in the
hoof wall. contracted heels, corns and
a great many more diseases too numer-
Ous to mention.
In many cases the horse must be
shod. but there certainly is far too
much shoeing done. It is surprising
how much work the horse can do un-
der most conditions without shoes IL

he be brought gradually to the work
and a httle care and judgment be
exercised in this matter during the
first three or four years of the colts
life. There are three things especial
~ to be remembered If you wish to
give this subject a little extra thought
first, as long as you use horses that
have weak or defective feet for breed
ing purposes just SO long will You have
horses with a predisposition to these
things. and you will lose money on
them accordingly: second. do less shoe
ing. A horse with fairly good feet
will not need to he shod unless he be-
worked on the pavement, race track
or In mountainous districts; third. do
not allow any h~orseshoer to use the
buttress on the soles Of the feet nor
the rasp on the outside. Do not leave
the shoes on longer than four weeks
without resetting.
In substance, remember that the
foot is the weakest part of the horse;
that the service of the horse is worth
money to you. Take good care Of the
horses feet!
