AUTUMN PHANTASY.

THERE'S tingle In the zephyrs

So we breathe the blessed brcezes

And we benish mild diseases

So we riot

And we love tie gentle roister
Which the glad recurring oyster

Not the thin and cooling Juices
Which the cautious summer sluices
For our drink.
But the rich and fragrant joys

To the brink.
And hail to the lure Of autumn,
The season Of plenty and Jest.
When days melancholy
Are lost in the Jolly

Ignite BR1QUETTEs

It is. stated that the heat value in
Ignite briquettes is greater than in
anthracite. The value of briquettes
as fuel can be readily seen. It is
easy to, handle and the transporta-
tion should be much less than eastern
coal. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
the experiments now being conduct
ed under the state auspices to secure
the use Of Ignite without the at
tendant moisture and loss will be a
success. At present there is from
80 to 40 per cent of moisture in lig-
mite, when first taken from the mine,
and its heating qualities reduced to
that extent. The boasted superior
ity of anthracite over Ignite bri-
quettes is mere humbug. Ignite
has more heat units than anthracite,
pea coal or buck wheat coal. Scien-
tific tests have proven this to be a
fact. The problem that confronts the
people of North Dakota, and which
offers a tempting prize to inventors,
is the compression and preparation
of Ignite for commercial use at
price that will place it within the
reach of the public.
