TESTING FIRE CLAY.

Fire clay has been in use foc cen turies, and yet I believe the industry b one which lacks definite laws more than any other, including those whieb gre either modern oi ancient and oi less prominence. You can go to g manufacturer of steel and specify what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod act by chemical analysis or mechanical tests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knews how to combine certain elements and what quantities Of various kinds to combine n order to get result at least very closely approaching what you call for out not so in the fire clay business. h he past the most skilled and highest .alaried chemists have been employed Q make tests, to promote and carry through Investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated lrticles derived therefrom. The result aas been, generally speaking, confusion worse confounded. Two professors, working at similar times on brick or clay obtained from the same sourc0 tnd manufactured under exactly equal conditions. have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions. The same scien- tists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder If promi aent Ire clay manufacturer should ex :laim. as heard one on an occasion aftor haring the above experience. All tests of fire clay are empirical, and { would sooner trust our superintend- ant to pick and select his clays in the .N fashioned way than pay high fee for highbrow's reeommendationsy The chief method of testing fire cla; oy practical man is literally to eat t. He can detect grit and sand best ny that rethod, and good fire clay free from silica, quartzite or fin, :lay) is free from grit. His only other personal test Is by e1periment.-ET yineering Magazine.

an Enoiishwoman.
 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was nnimpeaehable; the next We were grap bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-Ln knoWn meats aud vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms fro,. Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi geons' eggs and hundred diSerent foreign tasting messes. Then clear plates were given to Us. and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only creyice fillers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now same the real substantial meal, where n every dish had an accompaniment If smaller ones, containing gravies, .tc., in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt, roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilleG fresh water Ash, which, according tc custom, was helped f1om the top side oEly, for the Chinese remembers his servant. And, finally, at the conclu. sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water vas set before each person.
 After some three hours, with feel ng of tlankfulness that all was over, pipes, cigarettes and tea were served. and 1t seemed to me that the delicious iroma which rose from the latter ,oothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing ca us for all things Chinese Nary ko >e In London Express.

EXTEND HOOKER Line.
Through Service Promised Soon by
Interurban Company.

Kansas City. March 14.-The Kansas
City, Lawrence & Topeka Electric line,
generally known as the Hooker line,
will be extended from Zarah, Kan,
it's present terminal, to Bonner Springs,
Kan. during the summer, according to
an announcement made by R. w. Hoe
ker, general manager of the line. The
proposed extension is six miles long.
1t will be built west from Zarah three
miles, then northwest three miles to
Bonner Springs. This will bring the
line three miles nearer Lawrence.
According to Mr.. Hooker construction
will start about April l and will re-
quire six months, making it possible to
reach Bonner Springs about October l..
The most important engineering fea-
lures in the proposed extension will be
a long bridge over Mill creek, west of
Zarah, and a crossing over the Santa
Fe railway at Zarah.
When the road was projected four
years ago it's western destination, is in
dicated in the name, was to be Topeka
via Lawrence.
I'VE hope to reach Lawrence within
a few years and ultimately Topeka. :"
said Mr.. Hooker. Enhancing electric
lines is a hard proposition, however,
and we have to go slow and feel our
way as we go along. There is scarcely
any present demand for electric rail-
way company bonds, and that is him
dering us great deal"

SNYDER DIDN'T DO 1T.
Says He Lighted No Match in Fire
Cistern,

Mrs Leila Finson's damage suit for
$4,000 against the city, for the gas
explosion in the Seventh street fire
cistern which killed her husband. is
not finished.
1t has been shown, however, that
the gang of street laborers who were
sent into the cistern knew it was full
of gas or at least supposed it was,
and that nevertheless they were order
ed to repair it.
The three other men who were in
the cistern emphatically denied today
that Street Commissioner Snyder had
struck a match as was testified yes
terday by Fireman A. M. Robinson,
who also was in the hole. Those three
men are A. T. Potts. Chas. A. Win
burn and Jacob Dice. These three
corroborated the story as told by
Frank Snyder.
Mr.. Snyder said on the stand that
he had sent his men into the hole to
clean the walls and look for cracks
in the cement lining through which gas
might enter or water leak out if filed
to sufficient height. When he descend
ed the ladder. he said, Finson was
picking at a crack behind the ladder
opening it up SO that it would hold
the cement.
