SnokeIess Coal.

4 London inventor claims to have
discovered q process for producing
mokeless coal, apparently by distil-
lation Of coal at low temperature.
This, after distillation, is said to de-
posit q 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 by the extraction OF the smoke
producing material In coal before be-
ing burned. he has been successful
in producing 4 smokelesa coal.

TUsR--s ELEPHANTS.
Coylon the Only Part of the World
Where They Exist.

What 8 sight for a Ceylon elephant
hunter would be the first view Of =
herd Of African elephants-all tus-
ksrsl Il is a singular thing that
Ceylon Is the only part Of the world
where the male elephants have no
tusks: they have miserable little
gTubbers projecting two or three
inches from the upper jaw and in
Siining downward
Nothing produces either ivory or
horn in fine specimens througout
Ceylon, Although some OF the buff
fsloes have tolerably fine heads, they
VIII not bear q comparison with
those OF other countries. The horns
Of the native cattle are not above
four inches IN length.
The elk and the spotted deers ant
lerB are small compared with deer
Of their size in India. This Is more
singular, as It is evident from the
geological Formation that at some re-
mote period Ceylon was not an is
land, but formed a portion OF the
main land. II Is thought there must
be elements wanting in the Ceylon
pasturage for the formation Of
ivory.-CeylOn Manual.

Fires Started by Moths.

Moths and flames are universally
connected, yet few people suspect
that danger could arise therefrom-
The insects are of such fraiI struc-
ture that generally they get destroy
ed before it is possible for them
to iRfiict injury, and it is hardly
creditable that the wings would ig-
mite and retain the flames long
enough to enable the moth to fly to
its surroundings.
That. however, has occurred. The
moth was a very large one and its
wings must have been very dry, SO
that when it .foundered through the
fame it set fire to one wing and
darted out to a curtain nearby which
at once fared up. It is possible that
many summer evening fires in the
country could be attributed to a
source of this kind. 1t Is notorious
that mysterious fires often arise al
sunset in the hot months.-Str&zG

As History MIGHT Be Taught.

Another way of teaching history
which the schools might adopt has
apparently not appealed to them. A
good newspaper, If 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

Dogs Around Blacksmith Shops

Two or three dogs are nearly al
ways to be found loaflng about every
blacksmith shop. This fact Is so
well recognized that detectives when
sent out after valuable dogs that
have been lost invariably visit first
all the blacksmith shops IN the neigh
borhood. The reason why dogs visit
the blacksmith shops is that they
love inordinately the odor and the
taste of burning ho0fB. They sniff
the odor as a woman shifts e ress.
and they eat the hoof parings as .

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
DIrds 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 a lit
tie distance and futter 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 biil.-York Tran
