quently see at evening in the western

This thought which has so often
passed through my mind was recalled
by a sentence written by Sir Francis
Younghusband in a book describing
Kashmir: EARLY in September the at
mosphere has been freshened and
cooled by the rains which. though they
fall lightly in the valley itself, are
often heavy in the surrounding noun
tains. The sun is still powerful in
the daytime and the sky unusually
bright and clear. But the
will often make G few final efforts.
One such day / noted when volumin-
Gus masses Of cloud rolled up behind
the Pr Panjal to a height of twenty
five or thirty thousand feet, their west
ern edges aglow from the setting sun
and showing clear and distinct against
the background of pinky blue sky,
while the great main volume remain
ed dark, heavy and somber, with now
and then a split of lightning flashing
out, and on the far side, away from
the setting sun, threatening tentacles
stretched out across the valley In I'M
availing effort to reach the mountains
on the northern side. Under these
mighty monsoon masses even the
great mountains looked dwarfed and
puny. 1t was a great and final effort
OF that ~stupendous natural phenomen-
on which bears the waters of the In
dian ocean to beat upon the Hima-
laya."
Nothing could give to people who
have never een a mighty range of
mountains a better idea of their ap-
pearance than the great clouds that
pile themselves just above the distant
landscape. The soft, rounded sum-
mits are more beautiful than the sharp
outlines of the mountain ridges, but
the mountains are so often yelled in
clouds that the similarity of effect Is
striking and often in the neighbor-
hood Of some great snow covered
range one is uncertain whether 1t Is
the actual heights or the clouds that
n perceives from a distance.

WET CHEMICALS FOR FUEL
Inventor Thinks He Has Found Sub
stitute for C~oai-Liquid Used to
Heat Boiler.

Darby, Pa.-After working on the
principle for a long time, George
Smith, a well known hot water heater
expert, believes he has perfected a
compound that will do away with coal
as a medium for heat.
Smiths invention, which he says
will heat a house at a temperature of
70 degrees In winter and maintain it
at that in the coolest winter weather,
is an elaboration Of the principle Of
heat generation in water by chemical
combustion.
The best units generated play on a
wrought iron boiler, instead of cast
iron. and thus have the advantage Of
heating water quicker. because this
metal is not as thick and yet it is
stronger than cast iron. Once the wa
ter Is heated to a certain point It be-
gins to circulate through the pipes.
