Electricity and Gas Competitors

All previous efforts in the direction
OF producing power gas made from
bituminous coal failed. This nov
method would have been a failure IL
IL had been based on the same prin-
c1pk OF the decomposition of tar
through heat. which never succeeds
sufficiently In the new process the
tar gases are not thus dccomposed. but
are completely burned within their
generator. and the products OF this
combustion. In passing through the
coke formed. are TRANSMITTED into "a
tar-iree power gas.
The advantages of a coal power gas
are 50 great that many endeavors have
foar long time been made To- solve the
problem. Evidently as long a. bitum-
inous coal comes into question. there

Tribal Wars in Liberia.

Continual tribal wars In the inter

Continent prospecting for minerals,
have resulted IN the depopulation of
whole sections and in the extermina-
ton OF thousands of families.
Africa said Mr. Thatcher, lis the
most thinly populated Of the CONT
nents. there being only thirteen per-
sons to the square mile. Liberia is
never without tribal wars. The ma
tives are always fighting. to the detri-
ment of the country. Gold. ivory and

ITALIAN EARTHQUAKES
Magnificent Illustrated French
Volumes Dating from 100
With Engravings by HoueI
Placed on Exhibition.

-Four rare old volumes of royal size,
eighteenth century French school OF
c%ngravers and dating from 1870. have
just been placed on exhibition in the
large east window of the Harvey mu-
scum at the Santa Fe station. The
books have been in possession of the
Harvey museum here for some years,
and have aroused the enthusiasm of
very many book lovers and Judges of
engraving, but they have come into
especial interest Just now because of
the fact that the entire four volumes
are devoted to a description, illus
trated with magnificent full page
plates. Of Sicily. Malta. Lipari and the
entire section o. southern Italy recent
~ laid waste by the earthquake. The
description is SO close and so wen
done that those who have visited the
earthquake zone and who ave seen
these books, say tina it might wen fit
the country as Il is today. There is
further interest in that the volumes
contain frequent and detailed refer
ence. with illustrations, to former
earthquakes in the same region as has
Just been devastated, and showing
that the havoc wrought in the olden
DAYS was fully as terrible as the last
calamity which has stirred the sym
pathV Of the world. In n of the
volumes in particular is found a series
of splendid cngravings showing tn"
city of Messlna Immediately after the
earthquake of the early part Of the

ings and sketches done at the time by
several italian artists of note. One
of these engravings shows the ruined
city, another a tidal wave rolling IN
from the harbor and others show still
other scenes which might well be
used to illustrate the scenes of devas-
tation of today.
The books have been placed on eX-
hibit with these particular ~cngrnvings
in full view. and those who desire to
see them should avail Themselves of
the opportunity at once, as they will
not be left exposed to the strong light
for long.
The books are in French. and the
~engravings are considered by compc-
cent Judges to be among the finest in
existence. They are the work of Jean
Houel, famous in HIS day. and who
held the proud position Of printer to
the king of France, as well as high
place in the artistic life of his time.
Manager Herman Schwoizcr has had
these volumes under his particular
care for some time, hut it was not un-

CoLored Slips Used
Under White Go9vn

The girl with lits1e money and a
great need for pretty clothes would
do well TO remembe,. that old but
none the less clever device of using
cOl0reo slips. under white gown.
The practicability of this was en-
.phasized especially in the last two
weeks at the various college COM
mencements.
Girls who could not afford both a
class day dress and a commencement
dress bought a nice white frock and
wore il on class day over q coIored
slip, with cOlored accessories. and
usually flowers to match.
By having various slips. of lawn or
SILK a good white frock may be worn
upon an endless number of occasions
Besides providing a change of cos
tune, the slip actually protects the
gown and helps 10 keep il fresh.
A thin gown frequently looks bet
ter, hangs better, with a slip than
without one.
There are various accessories which
may be had to match; sash. necklace
or pendant, stockings and even shoes,
and, where possible, flowers
Charming and inexpensive frocks
may be made of white eyelet, EN-
bTOidered in a color and worn over
a slip of the same color.

Tomatoes Too Scarce
