When We feel poor at the prospec.
of filling the cellar with coal for the
winter we may well be thankful that
1t is not the cellar of an ocean grey
hound that We have to fill. Such a
ship as the Mauretania uses in each
trip across the Atlantic over 1000
tons of coal. Taking the average car
load as % tons this is about $50 cars,
or train two miles long. 1t is said
that for every 1000 persons carried
across the Atlantic 10000 men are
engaged in mining and handling the
necessary coal, and that their labor
supplies the means of living for an adj
ditional 10000 persons. When slowed

coal occupies an almost neglible part

ing attacked by salt water or the at
mosphere. 1t consists of 10 per cent.
of aluminium TO 90 of copper The
former great cost of aluminium pre-
vented the extensive use of the mate
rial. Since aluminium is now easily
procured, it is suggested by II. lie
Chatelier that aluminium bronze might
be largely employed. 1t is now used
to some extent in the manufacture of
ships screws, and other machinery
exposed to salt water. 1t has the ten
acity of Bessemer steel, and when
heated is easily forged and rolled. 1t
can now be manufactured at a price
not greatly exceeding that of copper.

His Masterpiece
By GENEVIEVE MARIE BOICE
Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press

Paul Worthington stared moodily
into the glowing fire; Marguerite
Chantry. fair as a kings daughter,
watched him in silent disnleasure, her
slender white-gowned figure wrapped
in the filmy crimson mist that arose
from the blazing logs.
The tense silence that had fallen
between them lasted several minutes
and the girl clutched nervously at the
folds of her gown.
Now that the first outburst of emo
ton was over in which she had told
him plainly her opinion regarding his
lazy mode of life and idle pursuit Of
pleasure. her courage fled. and she
stood by the great organ in the Ii
brary, one hand resting on its worried
keys. trembling and afraid.
Meanwhile mighty struggle was
going on in Paul Worthington's mind.
Had he not been born to the purple
and fine linen Fate might have made
of him an artist of no small repute.
for during his college days he had
given evidence of an unusual talent
along these lines. But once free from
the influence of the halls of learning
the goddess of pleasure had claimed
him for her own, and. binding him
with her silken cords, had banished
all useful occupations from his mind.
But now, under Marguerite's scorn-
full discourse on the utter uselessness
of his life, ambition stirred within his
heart like the flames that sometimes
burst from an apparently burned-out
log. And, although he seemed to be
watching with lazy interest the sparks
dancing up the chimney like million
golden butterflies, he was secretly
admiring the slender gray-eyed girl
who dared to tell him the truth even
at the cost of their friendship.
His farewell that night was cold
and almost formal. He barely touched
Marguerite's icy little hand and en-
tirely ignored the appeal in her wide
gray eyes. She longed to speak some
word of encouragement to him. but

Chicago Lightning Disproves Old No
tion and Finally Kills an An
cient Cottonwood Tree.

Lightning never strikes twice in the
same place, according to an old saw,
but big cottonwood tree standing
in Hyde Park, Chicago, last summer
disproved this notion altogether.
This tree stood on the south side
of Fifty-third street, between Cornell
avenue and the Illinois Central tracks.
II was nearly fifty years old and one
of the largest trees in the neighbor-
hood The late Judge Jameson built
his residence at the southwest corner
of Fifty-third street and Cornell ave-
nue. in 1857. There was little or moth
ing in Hyde Park at that time-so
little, in fact, that the suburban serv-
ice of the Illinois Central had only
just commenced, ana there were only
three trains day each way.
On the Fifty-third street side of the
park he planted a row OF cottonwoods.
They took kindly to the sandy soil
