AT THE MANCHU COURT
The Empress Dowager Described as
 Unattractive and Cold in Manner

The Picking correspondent of the. Man chester Guardian, in an account of the Manchu court thus describes the Er- press Dowager, Lung Yu, widow of the Emperor kwang IIsu
 Hers is not. as Tze Hafs was. an at tractive personality. She is a slight woni- an between 8 and 1T years of age, ugly according to Chinese standards, with an unplcasantly salIow compile xion. She has none of the vcrve and sprightliness. of 1'ze HTsi, but is cold. hard and self contained. The person who has most influence over her is her chief eunnch. Chang Te. 4s
 'In Tze Hsi's day Chang Te was mere nobody; today he Is exceedingly wealthy and has for the last two years been one of the most influential men at court. Greatly above the average height he com pines with unusual physical strength a reckless buoyancy that has enabled him successfully to face many difficult crises. His influence over the Empress Dowager is such that he has been able almost to isolate her. Tzi Hsi had about her fay orite ladies in waiting. Lung 1u has none"
 The Dowager Empress was then living in the Yen Shon Tiep.i also called the winter and the sea palace Ii is fur nished throughout in Chinese style With stone floors, paper windows stiff, straight backed wooden chairs. square redwood tables and vase shaped spitoons.

City Smoke Inspector.

predicated upon the continued use
of bituminous coal in ever-increas-
ing quantities.
Fortunately for our hopes of
clean Atlanta, it has been shown
already by experiment and practl-
cal application that not only is It
possible to burn soft coal without
the emission of dense smoke, but
profitable as we'll. Actual savings
of from five per cent to as high as
twenty per cent In some instances
have been effected where, in efforts
to obtain smokeless combustion,
consumers Of coal have devoted
some attention to obtaining proper
conditions under which the coal
should be burned.
Some Figures on SCOT,
The finely divided particles of
carbon (sooD which are carried off
in suspension by the gases resulting
from soft coal combustion have
been found to weigh less than one
per cent Of the actual weight Of
coal put into the furnace, and If we
assume that one-half of one per
cent of all coal used in Atlanta Is
lost in this manner, we will arrive
at a figure approximately correct.
Although this loss of fuel to the
consumer Is quite small, it is this
SCOT which is responsible for q
damage to property that is con-
servatively estimated to amount to
over $1,000,000 per year, or over IS
for every man, woman and child In
Atlanta. The amount of SCOT emit
ted from all the stacks and chin
neys in Atlanta during one year
would be sufficient to cover with
a blanket almost one inch thick the
area included within a circle one
mile in diameter. Such a circle
drawn with Five Points as its CEN
ter would extend to Baker street
on the north, Brotherton street on
the south, Thurmond street on the
west and Bell street on the east.
While it is SCOT that causes the
the loss of fuel to the coal user in
this manner is negligible. But the
emission Of dense smoke is indica-
tive Of very great losses from the
escape Of valuable invisible gases.
which, If combustion were COM
plete, would add materially to the
amount Of work done per pound of
coal used. The gases lost consist
mostly Of hydrocarbons (com-
pounds Of carbon and hydrogen,
carbon monoxide and hydrogen,
and some idea of the loss incurred
may be gathered from the state
ment that one pound of hydrogen
contains over four times as many
heat units as a pound of pure car

ARTICLE I.

Smoke is the exhalation, visible
vapor, or material that escapes or
is expelled from burning sub
stance during combustion. The
word smoke is used especially to
designate the volative matter given
off when coal or wood Is burned,
together with the solid matter car
ried off in suspension therein.
1t has been conservatively esti-
mated that over 100000 short tons
or 1,OO0,OO0,00O pounds of coal are
used in Atlanta each year. OF this
great tonnage the amount OF hard
coal (anthracite) is so inconsider-
able as to be almost negligible. Any
solution of the smoke nuisance in
Atlanta which contemplates the
general substitution of bituminous
coal by anthracite, coke, oil or any
other fuel is impractical. The sup
ply of anthracite is limited, and the
mines far distant, with consequent
high freight rates; so that this coal
costs approximately three times as
much per ton delivered as our best
soft Goals. Coke is more readily
obtainable than anthracite and is
cheaper, but the market for this
product in the South is practically
controlled by one company, which,
1t is reasonable to assume, would
boost the price for all the traffic
would bear as soon as we placed
ourselves where we were depend

Must Depend on Soft Coal.

The geographical location Of At
lanta is such that for fuel supplies
we must depend upon the bitumi-
nous coal fields of Alabama, Ten
nessee and West Virginia. In fact,
our accessibility to this great area
of soft coal deposits Is one of the
chief factors that has built up At
lanta manufactures.
There may be a few instances in
which no other solution of the
smoke problem is possible except
the change In fuel, but these are
comparatively few in number and
will become proportionately fewer
as all new plants will be properly
designed before installation so as
to use bintuminous coal without
emitting dense smoke.
No hysterical outcry concerning
damage to property or person by
soft coal smoke should ever cause
us to lose sight of the fact that soft
coal is essential to Atlanta's com
merciaI prosperity and any course
of action looking to the abatement
Of the smoke nuisance must be
