FUEL FROM WATER.
PLAN WHICH MAY REVOLUTION
IZE INDUSTRIAL WORLD
Missourian Said to Have Perfected
Method of Burning" Water, End
ina Use of Coal and Oil for
Creation of Power.

st. LOUISA native-born Missouri
an proposes to solve the fuel problem
and revolutionize the industrial world
by burning water for fuel.
He proposes to abolish coal mining
and coal hauling, to make possible an
ocean leviathan which will cross from
New York to Liverpool in three days,
to have at hand always and every
where a never-ending fuel free of cost
to all corners.
Capt Warren's scheme has the in
dorsement of Nikola Tesla, that ia
nous wizard of science. The captain
has recently returned to New York
from two years absence on sailing
vessel, and has brought with him the
crystallized result of many months of
study and research. While he has been
sailing the deep or alternately leading
the strenuous and simple life ashore
he has steadily pursued his expert
ments, building boats and apparatus
for the purpose, and now he is pre-
pared to give the results to the
world.
The invention is nothing less revolu-
tionary than manufacturing fuel out Of
water!
The world now secures power from
water by utilizing its weight on an
old-fashioned water wheel or modern
turbine. 1t also utilizes the power of
water by turning it into steam. Capt

FaVors Acting in Time.

A brother in Sumter county, South
Carolina, writes in reference to the
state meeting of the union that it ap-
pears to be very necessary to have
such meeting. Some of our trou-
bles are due to procrastination. We
wait until the cotton crop is made
before trying to finance it. Whereas,
if we would finance our farms on a
conservative basis for the first eight
months of the year more than half
the battle would be won, and the cot
ton crop would finance itself. Our
local unions need to be made live
farmers clubs, where the second
aries of farm management will occupy
as large part of the discussions as
cooperation in buying and selling.

chemical constituents of water and
takes advantage of the explosive
capacity of these elements in recon-
bining to produce power
Burn water" Capt. Warren says,
"only in the sense in which we burn
carbonic gas. Both are products of
combustion The constituent ele-
ments of each are combustible when
| isolated The only problem is to sep
arate or isolate them after they have
once been combined. This nature is
constantly doing, and we have only to
accelerate or short circuit her pro-
cesses in order to restore Immediately
these combustibla substances to their
elemental state and have them ready
to reunite at our bidding in the phe-
nomenon of combustion Burning, or
combustion, is simply the manifesto
ton of the action of chemical affinity
We burn the elemental substances
hydrogen and oxygen, by bringing
them together under conditions favor
able to the operation of the affinity,
which causes them to unite in a new
chemical compound, which, when con-
densed, is water. We separate these
elements by subjecting their COM
pound, water, to conditions which
overcome or neutralize this affinity.
when we can burn hydrogen for
power, when the industrial world ava
ditures for coal and liquid fuel are
entirely unnecessary, and that there is
right within our grasp an unlimited
supply of fuel substance available
practically without cost, for it is self
producing, there will be a revolution
in the industrial world When the
centuries-old theories of the indie
structibility of matter and the con-
servation of energy and matter have
once become really understood by
men, we will witness the utter collapse
and extinction of one of the Oldest and
most gigantic of human industries, the
mining of coal"

he has devised immense advantages
over warships of other navies, as the
mechanism of the Warren scheme is

But what is the secret of the pro-
duction of this new motive power?'

Suqar-Savinu,

Many woman begrudges her chill
dren plenty of sugar spread on the
bread and butter who will stir it quite
recklessly into fruit or sauce which is
boiling. This IS the wrong economy
Sugar is necessity with growing chill
dren; they should have all they want
(unless, of course, it is plainly an un-
natural craving). Give it to them on
their bread, but do not put it into any
fruit while the latter is boiling. Sugar
boiled with an acid is converted into
glucose which has less than half the
sweetening power of sugar in it's orig.
inal state. So it is plainly seen that
the fruit should be first boiled and
the sugar added when it is cooling.
Then one pound of sugar will go as
far as two put in during the cooking
process.

New ENGLAND Notions.


Whether they deserve it or not, the
joyed by the New England housewife
which the western woman respects.
Time. of course, will show the bene-
fits of the New England example. The
following hints had their origin in
towns still under the atmosphere Of
Priscilla.
Use a No 1 paint brush for greasing
tins or griddles.
Sage cheese is best for Welsh rab-
bit
Instant relief for Indigestion is af-
forded by taking a teaspoonful of
glycerine in a little water Immediately
after eating.
When pouring hot fruit into a glass
dish or jar, place it on wet cloth;
this will prevent the cracking of the
glass.
Always soak raisins in cold water
before stoning.
Bread crumbs are much better than
cracker crumbs for covering articles
to be fried. They do not absorb the
grease.
Instead of eggs-this suggestion is
offered, with the assurance of several
who have tried it, that it is success
full. Use grated potato instead of an
egg. For every egg called for take a
potato the size of an egg, peel and
wash WELL and CRATE into the sugar
and butter which has been well
mixed Use a little more flavoring
than usual, and beat the mixture with
an even stroke.

If sheep of certain breeding meet
your ideals you had better obtain as
much of that blood as possible and
then continue along the same line
If pedigree is of no value, why have
the worlds best breeders practiced
line breeding? They value it highly
because sheep whose sires and dams
are of a certain trype will produce
lambs with the same desirable char
acteristics. Although registered, GER
tain individuals may have a short
pedigree, their ancestors are practi-
cally unknown, and if with undesir-
able characteristics same will be in
evidence among the lambs sooner or
later Although there are exceptions
to all laws of breeding, to be rea-
son&bly sure of the best results you
should know that your purchases
have high class ancestors.

Why will some homemade soap
float, and another kind sink?
The soap which floats is that which
is freed from excess of pork fat. The
mutton or beef fat is lighter.

for lobster, chicken, etc? The title re-
fers to the sauce which is made of

lose more than at present for bagging

taken off the weight of each bale is
thirty pounds in European countries,
and twenty-five pounds in England,
while the actual weight of bagging
and ties is seldom over 81 pounds,
but often under that figure. The re-
duction to twenty-five pounds tare by
the English spi9ners last year was
brought about through the efforts of
the Farmers Union and has resulted
in a great saving to the cotton farm
ers, but the majority of the American
cotton is sold on the Continent and
hence the necessity for extending the
change to European spinners.

itself the soil is exceedingly fertile
but like a good deal of our own wes-

to restore the old time productivity

that sum, great as it is, will be
speedily forthcoming from wealthy
jews if the idea materializes.
But will the Jews or any consider
able number of them go to 'Mesopo-
