woods, however, are said to have prac-
tically the same heat value regardless
of species, and as consequence it can
be stated as a general proposition that
the heavier the wood the more heat to
the cord. Weight for weight, howev-
er, there is very little difference be-
tween various species; the average
heat for all that have been calculated
is 1900 calories, or heat units, per
kilogram. A kilogram of resin will
develop 9,400 heat units, or about
twice the average for wood. AS a
consequence, resinous woods have a
greater heat value per pound than
non-resinous woods, and this increased
value varies, of course, with the resin
content.
The available heat value of cord
Of wood depends on many different
factors. 1t has relation not only to
the amount of resin it contains but to
the amount Of moisture present. Fur
thermore, cords vary as TO the amount
of solid wood they contain, even when
they are of the standard dimension

The New England Fat Men elected
Frank P. Sibley of the Boston Glob,
president of their club at the annua
meeting at Wells River Friday night
II was quite radical departure
as the principal requirement for mem
bership in this unique organization is
the ability to tip the scales at 20o
pounds. Now, Sibley can't do that, he
is long, but not very wide; tall, but
not very thick.
The fathers of the club, at its organ
ization, evidently realized that mini
sters and editors usually are too busy
to put on flesh, and decided to waive
the weight requirement in these cases
and let them in on their good looks.

| and occupy 1913 cubic feet Of space. A
certain proportion of this space is
made up of air spaces between the
sticks, and this air space may be con-
siderable in cord made of twisted
crooked, and knotty sticks. Out Of
the 12S cubic feet, fair average of
solid wood is about so cubic feet
1t is pointed out, however, that heat
value it not the only test of usefulness
in fuel wood and since 95 per cent of
all wood used for fuel is consumed for
domestic purposes, largely in farm
houses, such factors as rapidity of
burning and ease Of lighting are inn
portant. Each section of the country
has its favored woods and these are
said to be, in general, the right ones
to use. Hickory, of the resinous
woods, has the highest fuel value per
unit volume Of wood, and has other
advantages. 1t burns evenly, and, as
housewives say, holds the heat The
oaks come next, followed by beech,
birch, and maple. Pine has a relative
ly low heat value per unit volume, but
has other advantages. 1t ignites read
lily and gives out quick hot flame,
but one that soon dies down. This
makes is favorite with rural house.
keepers as summer wood, because il
is particularly adapted for hot days in
the kitchen.
The fuel qualities of chestnut adapt
it particularly to work in brass foun-
dries, where it gives just the required
amount Of heat and it is therefore in
favor. Coastwise vessels in Florida
pay twice as much for Florida button
wood as for any other, because it
burns with an even heat and with
minimum amount of smoke and ash.
The principal disadvantage Of the
resinous pines is their oily black
smoke.

THE FUEL VALUE OF WOOD

The fuel value of two pounds of
wood is roughly equivalent TO that Of
enc pound Of coal This is given as
the result Of certain calculations now
being made in the forest service lab
eratory, which show also about how
many cords of certain kinds of wood
are required to obtain an amount of
heat equal to that in ton Of coal
Certain kinds of wood, such as
hickory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple,
ash, elm, locust, longleaf pine, and
cherry, have fairly high heat values,
and only one cord of seasoned wood Of
these species is required to equal one
ton Of good coal
II takes a cord and half Of short
leaf pine, hemlock, red gum, Douglas
fir, sycamore, and soft maple to equal
a ton Of coal, and two cords of cedar,
redwood, poplar, catalpa, Norway pine,
cypress, Eastwood, spruce, and white
pine.
Equal weights Of dry, non-resinous

GOVERNORS GIFT TO LIFE
CONVICT 4 XMAS PAROLE

/ Windsor, Dee. "a Governor Fetch
er brought Christmas JOY today {,
Jerry Bradley. who has been year,
longer ii the State prison here thar
any other inmate Bradley is giver
a conditional parole and will be re,
leased from prison tomorrow morning
after having been in prison for more
than quarter Of century.
Jerry Bradley was sentenced "a
State prison for life for the murder Of
Margaret Shea, his housekeeper, al
Stamford, Bennington county, rs years
ago last May. He was twice tried in
Bennington county court and both
times convicted Of murder in the Sec
ond degree and sentenced for life.
There was always a little doubt in
this case Bradley and four other men
we're at his place in Stamford when
the murder occurred. All the party
were intoxicated and many thought at
the time that possibly more than one
was concerned, but at the trial the
others testified against Bradley and he
was convicted. He is part Indian and
part negro, while the others in the
affair were all white, and they were
acquitted.
For several years there have been
efforts made to secure Bradley's par
ole. Lieut. Governor Howe Of Ben
nington, the Rev, FIR. McGarry of
Mortified, but formerly Of Windsor,
Mrs. Maxwell Evarts Of Windsor and
others have interested themselves in
his behalf and have urged Governor
Fletcher to allow him chance TO
spend his old age outside prison walls.
Visiting Board Asked Parole
At, the recent visit of the State
board Of visitors to the prison the
other members of the board united in
asking the governor to parole Bradley.
The State board Of penal commission
ers also approve the parole which is so
drawn that any governor can return
Bradley to prison if he departs from
the straight and narrow way. "Or for
any cause whatsoever"
The average duration of life terms
in this country is said to be fraction
over II years while Bradley has been
behind bars for more than a quarter
of century. In some countries life
term prisoner is automatically releas-
ed at the end of Is years.
While Jerry Bradley has been in the
prison every person connected with the
has changed He has been
there nearly ten years longer than any
other prisoner and has seen great
changes in the prison in his time.
Since he has been in Windsor more
than dozen life prisoners have been
who have served less time
than he but he has never given up
hope of being freed. His prison rec
ord is excellent and he is known as one
Of the best workmen in the prison.
He has two sons and one daughter,
but does not know where they are. He
Is SO years old He is the only life
prisoner or long term prisoner releas-
I'd by Governor Fletcher during his
administration.
The form Of parole is made so that
f it is found that his long term in
prison has given Bradley any constitu-
.ional weakness or condition, or if he
S found unable to support and care
or himself he can be returned to the
prison. Owing to the fact that Brad
ey has no home he will remain at the
prison until place is found where he
an get new start in life.
