SCOT, the principal trouble maker in
smoke, is the product of incomplete
combustion, and is formed partly by
the mechanical removal of ash by the
chimney draft and partly by the
decomposition of the volatile portion of
the fuel which is formed by the proc
ess of destructive distillation- The
character of SCOT varies with the dis
lance from the CRATE at which it has
been deposited. as well as the tenn
perature of the furnace. amount of air.
and method of firing. The acids con-
tanned in SCOT attack mortar, masonry.
woodwork, metal work and building
material generally. In many European
cities it has been found that SCOT
causes the rapid disintegratiOn of stat
uary and public monuments. The dam
age done to inside decorations appears
to be no less important than the effects
upon the exterior of buildings. Smoke
is visible proof of imperfect cOmbus-
ton of fuel, and consequently evidence
of waste and inefficiency.-New York

that Lancaster has no ball team and

sure the Base Ball Editor of the Citizen

designing person.

NOTES
FROM CHAUTAUQUA n. Y.

As 50 many Central Kentucky people
are interested in Chautauqua this year,
perhaps some notes from here may be
of interest.
Chautauqua is indeed beautiful for
situation, 1t is in Southwestern New
York on the northwest shore of Lake
Chautauqua at an altitude of 400 feet
above sea level, and seven hundred
feet above Lake Erie which is only ten
miles distant.
On the waters of Lake Chautauqua
may be seen little row boats. sail boats.
motor boats and steam boats, The boat
levee is well equipped. The bathing
beach fine.
AT Chautauqua is found the best
muscallonge fishing in the state. This
is the largest of the pike family. The
excellent fishing is due to the fact that
the only place in the country where
muscallonge is scientifically propogated
is on this lake at Bemus Point when
millions of fish are placed in its waters
every year.
Weekly excursions are made from
here to Buffalo at the exceeding low
rate of Sl.Z5 and to Niagara Falls for
$3.50.
The health of Chautauqua is a mat
ter of supreme Importance. and Is care
fully looked after by the Board of
Health. The drinking water is furnish
] ed by artesian wells on the hills above
| the grounds.
Chautauqua is childrens paradise,
with its spIendidly equipped pay
grounds; kindergarten, sand piles. day
nursery, boys and girls clubs and child
ren's choir.

to do so, and fines We're assessed in

served, and in every case where parties
who refuse or fail to work the road
when summoned, he proposes to enforce
the law. More attention is being given

exacted of him in this regard or else
find the strong arm of the law being
