the season. Six tables Of bridge were

MOISTEN COAL BEFORE USING
Fuel Should Be Thoroughly Damp
ened to Secure Extreme Value OF
Product for Heating.

Dry coal does not produce as mucn
heat as coal that is considerably
damp. It is, of course, a fact that
greater heat makes the fuel more
valuable, and it is essential to know
how to secure the most from ordinary
fuel.
Coal that Is to be burned in fur
mace, a stove or crate for immediate
heat will produce nearly one-fourth
more heat when wet than when dry.
Coal that is to be placed in a stove
or furnace to be closed up so as to
produce a long-continued, moderate
heat will produce a little more than
one-third more heat IL there is plenty
of moisture than can be secured If the
coal Is real dry.
Large Jumps Of III can be soaked
In a pail of water for a half hour, ana
the heat will be increased nearly one
half. This is done in cases where the
lumps are used in stoves tightly
closed, such as those known as air
tight furnaces.
Several pals OF water thrown over
a ton of coal will increase Its vaiue
greatly to the consumer.
Coal will burn briskly In wet ana
almost airless mines, and 1t is SAID
the heat Is intense.
When there Is fire and the coal
pile burns, 1t Is difficult to drown tnat
portion of the fire with water.
We might as well secure little OF
the heat stored in burning water as To
permit IL ali to go unused

LITTLE HARM FROM METE0RS
Narrow Escapes Have Been Recorded,
but Deaths or Serious Injuries
Have Been Few.

The area of the earth's surface oc-
cupied by towns and villages being
comparatively small, the possibility OF
@ shower of stones falling within a
town is extremely minute; the like
lihood OF living creature being
struck, says Lazarus Fletcher In the
new Encyclopedia Britannica, is still
remote.
The first Yorkshire stone-that Of
the Void Cottage-struck the ground
only ter yards from a laborer; the
second, that of Middlesboro, fell on
the railroad only 40 yards away from
some plate layers at work; stone
completely buried itself in the high
way of Kaba; one fell between two
carriers on the road at Charsonville,
throwing the ground up to a height OF
six feet; the Tourinnes-la-Grosse me-
teorite broke the pavement and was
broken itself.
The Krahenberg stone fell within
a few PAGES of a little girl; the
Anglers stone fell close to lady stand
ing in her garden: the Braunau mass
went through the roof of cottage;
at Macao, in Brazil, where there was
a shower OF stone, some oxen are
said to have been killed.
At Nedagolla, in India, a man was
30 near that he was stunned by the
shock; while at Mhow, also in India, a
man was killed in 1927 by a stone
which is a true meteorite and is rep
resented by fragments In museum
collections.

It is credit to the people OF this
city as we'll as to the management OF
the Hippodrome theatre that these big

tinuously the entire season which
closed in the spring. Other cities the
SIZE OF Keokuk and many that were

Evening Post.l
NEW YORK, July 20.-For the list
less apathy Of the day on the stock
exchange there were at least two
obvious causes-one the assertion OF
denial Of guess work and further post
ronement in the long delayed rate de-
cision; the other, rather disturbed
condition on European markets. 1t is
out OF the question to say anything
new about the rate case unless to
sus gest that the particulars publish
ed Yesterday as an authent1ce version
of the coming decision which have
been for months conjectured on gen
eral principals and by nothing more.
Wall streets present attitude may
be summed up as based on the con-
viction that this decision will come
when it will come; that it will be what
lit will be; but that until it comes,
everyone will keep on saying that 1t
lis useless to do anything in advance
lof it. The continental stock ex-
changes were much unsettled. The
reason was not clear and as usual I'M
der such circumstances variety of
conflicting explanations was cabled
over. British consols were distinct
l. strong in the face of these other
markets, but that was doubtless e
cause CT the new leaf turned in the
Ulster matter" Europe sold fairly
freely here at the opening and there
were some irregular declines in the
midday tradings; but except for some
minor stocks, the days movement as
a whole was unimportant. Statements
O! the country's foreign trade for
June showed the months imports and
exports practically balanced as against
ar import excess of s1,9s7,000 in May
and one of S1o,271 900 in April. Thus
the abnormal character of last spring 6

lrapidly corrected.
