The Tears That Made TYler President

the head Of the tickct, the other position
WAS offered by Harrison's friends TO two
prominent Clay men. each of whom
promptly refused it in turn.
Well. then. those politicians were

The Pulaski monument has been

BURNING UP WEALTH.
Large Per Cent Of the Fuel Energy Of
Coal Goes to Waste.

The manager of a big power house
recently made an analysis Of the
amount Of fuel energy In one pound
Of coal which was actually converted
into electrical energy useful for work.
One pound Of coal may be taken to
have inherently 10000 work units. OF
these 10000 possible work units this
manager found that 300 were wasted
in the ash pit. 1850 in the stack, $50
In banking fires. 800 in radiation and
miscellaneous losses. In other words,
In the boiler room $500 work units
were wasted.
In the engine room $40 more work
units were lost by radiation of heat
from the pipes and 4,S10 work units
were sacrificed in the condenser. so
that the total engine room loss was
$50 work units. In other words. says
System, only 100 work units were ac-
tually disable out Of the possible 10000
work units In pound Of coal. One
fifth OF the coal bill was paid simply
to produce draft In the smokestack.
