SOFT COAL is DESTROYING
NOTED ENGLISH BUILDINGS
Oxford Factory Chimneys Rot Stones
of University Buildings.

Recent local legislation in England
NIT black smoke to issue from chin
neys does not touch the equally sooty
smoke from the soft coal used in mil
lions Of old fashioned English CRATES
and kitchen ranges.
1t is not only in London that the
smoke laden atmosphere rots the stone
work and is a menace to historical
buildings like Westminster abbey. Ac-
cording to the Local Government Re
view, large quantities of the blacklist
smoke are issued from factory Chin
neys in and about Oxford.
Over the stones of it's colleges there
is a deposit of scot. The acids held in
the SCOT blister the surfaces Of the
stones. After a time that blister falls,
leaving a rough, crumbling surface, the
precursor of rapid decay. An infor-
mant officially connected with the uni
versity has said that he has little doubt
that the decay of the stonework of the
older buildings has been greater IN the
nineteenth century than In any former
century, and this is due to the increas-
ed use Of coal.
The paper gives also particulars of
the damage to portions of Canterbury
cathedral by smoke, especially to the
great Angel tower. on which the ca
thedral authorities have spent q large
sum in repairs. AS regards Exeter
cathedral, noble edi6ce $50 years old,
the writer says that SCOT has eaten its
way into all parts of the delicate trac-
cry of the western front OF the struc-
ture. Efforts have been made with
more or less success to remedy and TO
replace, but the ancient glory has large
ly departed.

many of them do not do so because of
lack Of capital. They have spent all

Under such favorable circumstances
he cannot help but succeed. Often.

at home to occupy all the land. The
young college farmer must look else
where for a job. Every year the agri-
cultural colleges are receiving a larger
number of calls for farm managers.
Many of these offers are exceedingly
liberal. They come for the most part
from farmers who wish to retire from
active work and at the same time do
not wish to sell or rent their farms.
