One very serious fault to bs

constituents given off by soft coal

been incontrovertibly demonstrated

is to be complete.
Poor Draft Smoky Stacks.
Even in boilers with poor draft
the products of combustion will
travel at a rate of one and one
half feet per second. This means
that with the usual form Of con-
struction in less than two seconds
after leaving the fuel bed the gases
given off will be up against the
shell or passing amongst the
tubes, where they will be cooled
below the temperature G,4SO de-
grees Fahrenheit) required for their
burning. Therefore, combustion
stops before it is completed, and
the evidence of this is shown by
smoky stacks.
1t has been shown that 1t Is pos
sible at comparatively small ez-
pense to build a furnace under boil
ers already set in which high VIOLA
tile bituminous coal can be burned
smokelessly and with high efficien-
cy. The dimensions and full specl-
f1catlons for such a furnace VIII
vary in different plants, and can
only be determined by one familiar
with all the conditions to be met IN
each instance, but the principles
applied will be the same in every
case.

Atlanta is most liberal In its pro-

Animals Look Like Plants.

On the other hand, some of these
mimic forms and colors are so ex-
quisitely beautiful that they afford
suggestions to artists. This is es-
pecially true of the SHAWL butter
fly" of India, shown in one of our
illustrations, which is said to have
suggested the pattern of the ia
nous Indian silk shawls.
Pure plays of fancy on the part
of nature seem to be such bizarre
creations as the lunar crescents on
the wings of the Indian moon
moth" and the miniature human
skulls into which the seedpods OF
the snapdragon are shaped. Com
ing upon a group Of these one may
imagine himself to have invaded a
cemetery of little gnomes.
But even the most extraordinary
limitations that nature affords serve
only to prove more clearly the
unity that runs underneath all her
works. That animals should look
like plants, or plants like animals,
strikes us as exceedingly strange
when the mimicking forms belong
to highly organized creatures, but
as we go lower in the scale we md
that both of the two great king
doms Of life begin to blend-ani-

the rocks, and plants moving about

water, or drawing it from the air
alone, and flourishing in green lux
uriance without roots.

Tiger Possesses This Power.


Travellers have recorded the fact
that band of zebras standing in
the midst of sandy plain where
stunted bushes are scattered about,
and where the color of the soil
closely resembles that Of the skin
of the animals, will sometimes be
unacceptable, as long as they re-
main motionless, the black bands
on their TANKS looking exactly like
shadows.
But the tiger, too, possesses this
power of concealment, although in
his case the purpose is rather to al
lay the fears of his victims than to
hide himself from his enemies. The
color Of his skin and the shadowy
outlines of his markings enable him
to lie in wait close to his quarry
unnoticed by the poor beasts that
are about to feel the weight of his
claws. Adventures in tropical for
ests sometimes almost put their
feet upon a huge vari-colored ser
pent before recognizing It.
In many cases the resemblances
are so arbitrary that no reasonable
theory Of a definite purpose seems
to fit them. The wings of some

a YOUNG woman writes to me
~ that she is worn out by mental
work, and she wants to inter-
est some people with money, who
will send her away to recuperate
her strength.
Almost every post brings letters
similar, and innumerable are the
inquiries regarding the possibility
of influencing Mrs. Sage, Miss
Gould, Mr.. Carnegie and Mr.. Rookie
Teller to hand over money for the
benefit of needy individuals and
worthy causes.
1t does not occur to the writer's
of these letters that a hundred
thousand other people and causes
all look toward the same golden
goal. and that all these millionaires
are hemmed in by an army of Sec
retaries, who read several hundred
begging letters each day and al
low them to go no farther.
1t is said that each week Miss
Gould is asked for a million dol
lars in charity by different people
and that were she TO respond to all
the requests for aid she would ina
years time be penniless.
Meanwhile all these people are
giving generously, and many Of
them have agents employed who
distribute money in various quar-

which so exactly resemble dried
sticks that you can not recognize
their real nature until you feel them
squirm under your fingers. But
some of the largest animals also
exhibit protective mimicry" in as
tonishing ways. The beautiful re
bra is a striking example of this.

man beings, no longer modest the
world, save where ignorance still
prevails and the laws of health are
violated.
Divorce Must Run Course.
Divorce has increased, and must
run it's course like any other mall
ady which arises from ignorance.
After two or three generations
there will be a decrease of this
fever, because sex hygiene is being
taught, and young men and women
will not go into marriage ignorant
of all 1t means, as they have done
since the beginning of civilization.
This most important subject of
all has been left in darkness and
silence until the very last, and in
the darkness and silence it has be-
come corrupt and caused a pesti-
lence in the land
Light and speech have now come
to its rescue, but the evils it has
produced can not be cured in one
generation.
Men are just beginning to know
that their deeds of lust bring awful
calamities upon themselves, and
upon their offspring to the third
and fourth generation; and that be-
cause the world has condoned their
deeds it does not follow that they
are exempt from penalties.
When all our colleges have sex
hygiene course, as they will and
all youths and young women are
educated in a knowledge of the law
of cause and effect in these matters
marriage will cease to be a prob
lem. and the divorce court will go
out of existence for lack of patron
age.
A Magnificent Tomorrow.
One hundred years ago these
subjects were not discussed, and
so vast evils resulted; those evils
we point at today, saying the age is
degenerate, but we forget that they
are the dirc-t results of the sins Of
omission of our forefathers, and
that we are now organized by law
and medicine and common sense TO
fight and overcome the evils.
This is the wisest. the most sane.
the most altruistic, and the most
hopeful era Of the world.
And we are on the eve Of mag
nincent tomorrow.

MATURE is a great imitator-
but only Of herself. When she
has done a good thing she
sometimes does 1t over again, with
variations. Some of these self-imi-
tations, or repetitions OF nature, are
apparently purely capricious, or
even accidental, while others seem
to have a definite purpose, and then
they lead to very interesting scien-
tific theories.
The illustrations that accompany
this article appear to belong to the
GLASS of capricious, or accidental
limitations. There is no evident rea-
son why the wings OF one species
of butterfly should bear markings
recalling the lines of latitude and
longitude on a chart, as happens
with the map butterfly" Of India,
or why the wings of another spe-
cies, in the same country, should
closely mimic beautiful lacework,
as occurs with the shawl butter
fly" Yet there may be a meaning
behind 1t all which we do not COM

That the people or Oklahoma have
been swindled and betrayed in the cap
ital matter there Is no doubt. Every
one knows that when the people We're
called from their harvest fields to vote
on the capital location two years ago
and more that the general understand
ing was that the capital il located
there was not TO be removed until
1913, and on such understanding the
people voted. Oklahoma City offered
to build / million dollar capitol free
for the state and 70 pay the expenses
of moving. She has kept no part OF
the contract, and the capital was
moved in the night before the votes
were canvassed Since then the leg
islature was induced to locate the capt
tai at oklahoma City and that city
made pledges and promises. none of
which she has kept or made good. The
whole history os this matter has been
one of bad faith and broken promises,
of attempted and perpetrated fraud.
VIII the people of oklahoma stand for
it? If they do, they never deserve to
have any promise OF pledge made good
TO them, but should forever be the
free and lawful prey Of every blue Sky
and gold brick swindler that essays
10 exploit them, and they viii be such.
Let every free born citizen of okla
homa that expects to protect and
maintain his own rights and honor
cmemhor TO vote for the capital
amendment on election day, and so
undo and wipe out the Oklahoma city
swindle.
