A new INVENTION.
Utilizing Coal OIL for Fuel for Heating
and Cooking.

Topeka has natural gas and it is
probable that it will soon have crude
oil, but it remains for the Little Won
der Gas Maker, a new invention, To-
Gated at 419 Kansas avenue, to fill the
OIL. This little article surely fills the
bill when it comes to heat As fuel
saver it absolutely solves the fuel
problem, as it burns coal oil. which
may be bought by barrel for about
one-fOurth the price of any other fuel
Besides using a cheap fuel, it burns
30 per cent OF the oil. instead OF 10
or 20 per cent, as other fuels do II
makes a clear and exceedingly hot
blaze. With two burners turned on at
full blast yesterday, the stove con-
sumed two gallons of coal oil in eleven
hours thirty minutes With coal oil at
4 e cents per gallon. the fues for one
day, with ordinary cooling. costs less
than . cents When one thinks of
burning two burners at full blast from
morning till night for less than 10
cents, it seems almost Incredible. Be
sides its cheapness, it makes hotter
blaze than the natural gas and is no
more work or trouble.
The thing most impressive in looking
over the burner is its simpleness of
construction. 1t may be placed in any
stove in a few moments anG in five
minutes one can have bread baking in
the oven. In fact. the only thing
against this burner is the liability of
getting too hot an oven until one has
become accustomed to its use, the same
as natural gas.
T. J. Crook and J. P. Woolsey, the
representatives of the Burner Com
pany, are here for a few days and say
they have had phenomenal success
with their successful Ittle burner.
They state that they have orders for
the installing of burners in furnaces,
both of many homes and business
houses. Many business men, seeing
what a good proposition it is bound to
be, have bought the manufacturing
rights of states and counties all over
the United States.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, it is the best proposition that has
been in Topeka for a long time and
must be seen at 419 Kansas avenue to
be appreciated.

WAR AEROPLANEs ARE SAFE.
Present Type of Gun Useless Against
Flying Aircraft.

Washington, July 15.-Critical Oh
servation of the flights daily being
made at College park, near this city
by army aviators, has confirmed army
and navy ordnance experts in the
opinion that with the present type Of
ordnance it would practically be i'm
possible to bring down an aeroplaue
high in air and in full flight save by
a chance shot. The musket would he
entirely useless. its range being only
about 5000 feet when any considerable
elevation is given the weapon.
The only hope of the ordnance ex-
perts is the development of a gun on
the lines of one now begging made in
Germany for use against aeroplanas
only. This gun of great length, shoots
a light six pound shell three and half
miles. but the novel and promising
feature is the use of a compound in
the shell which leaves a trail of dense
black smoke. This is expected to en-
able the gunners to find the range Of
an aerOplane.

poem was sent to Mr.. Ware. who was
then commissioner of pensions. He ac-
knowledged the receipt of it and sail
he cons idered it a beautiful poem.
THE WASHERWOMAN AND THE
SKEPTIC.
"a reply to Eugene Wares Washerwo-
mans SOng.)
In the mansion of a home
Sitting quietly, alone,
Is a man with troubled mind,
Trying earnestly to find.
Some solution to the joy
Like pure gold, without alloy.
OF the woman and her Friend
Who will keep her to the end.
He had Injuries galore,
But has often passed the door
Where washerwoman worked
In the suds and in the dirt
Although poOr-toO poor to own
Inc small hut she called her home
let she san~ of one dear Friend
Who would keep her to the end
Never were the days too long.
Warm or cold, to check the song:
Rain or shine, the sOno would float
Faith and hope were in each note
All she little knew the thought
Into enc great mind was brought.
As she sang a bout her Friend
Who would keep her to the end.
But a skeptic heard her sing.
Though he scarce believed a thing
OF the stories that were told
By the molly men of old,
He had pleasure, wealth and fame
Had acquired quite name,
But ne knew not OF 2 Friend
Who'd be with him to the end.
He had friends and loved ones near,
Whose affections he held dear,
But he knew that death might come
Snatch the jewels from his home;
Other frienuS betray deceive.
Or when wealth was gone would leave
But the waSherWOman' s Friend
Would be with her to the end,
And he said he would not shake
Her belief or try to take
One degree of peace and rest,
Which was foreign to his breast;
Twas all right if she believed,
He'd not have her unoeceived.
For her faith would be a friend
That would keep her to the end.
Thus he thought. soliloquizad,
Diagnosed and analysed,
Tried to solve the mystery
Which his eyes quite failed to see;
And he thought about the day,
When he heard his mother pray:
And she too sang of a Friend
Who woul5 keep him to the end.
Thoueh he tried to disbelieve.
Said that he could not receive
What tire Bible claimed as true
CAS- the weaker minds could dol
Yet methinks that in his mind
He but longed himself to find
This poor washeTvOman's Friend
Who would keep i'm to the end
