Bacteria In Coal.

Mr.. G. Potter has recently shown
before the Royal society in London
that in certain conditions of exposure
to the air charcoal, coal, peat and 9th
er amorphous forms of carbon under
go a slow process of oxidation pro-
duced by bacteria. 1t is suggested that
this fact may account for the deteri-
grafton of stored coal, it's gradual loss
of weight, and its occasional sponta-
neous heating in ships bunkers. If the
bacteria are not the sole cause of these
things they may induce them, chemical
oxidation accompanying and continu-
ing that begun by the organic agents.
The carbonization of vegetable Goals.
says French writer, is due to the in
tervention of microbes at the begin
ming of their fossilization, When the
coal reaches the air again, other bac-
terra take UP the work of fermentation
that was interrupted millions of years
ago.-Youth's Companion.

CHAPTER x.

Early that year, the touch of autumn
came to the air. Often, returning at
shutdown from the afternoon life class,
Samson felt the lure of its melancholy
sweetness, and paused on one of the
Washington Square benches, with
many vague things stirring in his
mind. He felt with a stronger throb
the surety of young, but quickening,
abilities within himself. Partly, 1t was
the charm of Indian summer, partly
a sense of growing with the days, but,
also. though he had not as yet realized
that, it was the new friendship into
which Adrienne had admitted him,
and the new experience Of frank cam
araderie with woman not as mem
Der of an inferior sex, but as an equal
companion of brain and soul. He had
seen her often, and usually alone, be-
cause he Stunned meetings with
strangers. Until his education had ad-
vanced further, he wished to avoid
social embarrassments. He knew
that she liked him, and realized that
it was because he was new and virile
a sort of human novelty. She liked
him, too, because it was rare for a
man to offer her friendship without
making love, and she was certain he
would not make love. He liked her
for the same reasons that every one
else did-because she was herself. OF
| late. too, he had met a number of
men at Lescott's club. lie was mod
estly surprised to find that, though
his attitude on these occasions was
always that of one sitting in the back
ground, the men seemed to Ike him,
and, when they said, See you again,
at parting, it was with the convincing
manner OF real friendliness.

Der. when the distances were mist,

laughed, but his face again became

OLD CRAFT OF ODD DESIGN
MesopotamIa Boat, Known as Kufa,
Known to Have Been in Use Be-
fore Christian Era.

The Kufa, curious circular boat
made of basketwork, and seen mo-
where else in the world, Is a COM
mon sight in Mesopotamia. The fer
rymen charge only cent each pas
senger. There is one good point about
these strange craft-they are not cas-
lily upset. Their carrying capacity also
is great, and the kufa men pack in
their passengers like herrings In a bar
rel. had the good luck to take pho
tograph of the actual building of a
kufa on the banks OF the Tigris river,
says a writer in the Wide World. They
are made of date palm branches
woven together with rope made out OF
leaves of the same palm, thickly plas-
tered on the outside with bitumen.
They range from four to twelve feet
in diameter. Nowhere but on the
Tigris and lower Euphrates rivers can
one see these curious craft. which
serve principally for the transport of
passengers, country produce and
beasts of burden across the river.
About three men are required to make
a kufa OF respectable size, and II
takes them some twenty days to build
It. Like the kelek, the kufa is of
great antiquity. for both these strange
craft were in use long before the time
OF Christ. The evidence OF this is in.
disputable, for on the bas-reliefs taken
from the palace OF Sennaeherib both
craft are clearly represented.

laughed. And for me to have dinner
with you alone, unchaperoned at q
country inn, is by New York standards

on wickedness." Then, since their at
titude toward each other was SO
friendly and innocent, they both
laughed. They had dined under the
trees of an old manor house, built a
century ago, and now converted into
an inn, and they had enjoyed them
selves because 1t seemed to them
pleaslngly paradoxical that they should
find in q place seemingly 20 shabby
genteel cuisine and service of such
excellence. Neither of them had ever
been there before, and neither of them
knew that the reputation of this estab-
lishment was in its own way wide
and unsavory.
The repairs did not go as smoothly
as the chauffeur had expected, and,
when he had finished, he was hungry.
So, eleven o'clock found them still
chatting at their table on the lighted
lawn. After awhile, they fell silent.
and Adrienne noticed that her COM
panion's face had become deeply, al
most painfully set, and that his gaze
was tensely focused on herself.
What is II, Mr.. South?" she de-
manded.
The young man began to speak,
in steady, self-accusing voice.
Il was sitting here, looking at you,"
he said, bluntly. Il was thinking
how fine you are in every way; how
there is as much difference in the tex
ture of men and women as there is in
the texture of clothes. From that
automobile cap you wear to your slip
pers and stockings, you are clad in
silk. From your brain to the tone OF

Samson had hesitatingly taken the
gloved hand, and its grasp was firm
and strong despite its ridiculous
smallness.
Il reckon he'll be back presently"
The boy was in doubt as to the proper
procedure. This was Lescott's studio,
and he was not certain whether or not
it lay in his province to invite Les.

Possibly, he ought to withdraw is
ideas of social usages were very vague.
Then, think I'll wait" announced
the girl. She threw off her fur coat,
and took a seat before the open CRATE.
The chair was large, and swallowed
her up.
Samson wanted to look at her, and
was afraid that this would be impolite.
He realized that he lad seen no
real ladies', except on the street, and
now he had the opportunity.
"Pm glad Of this chance to meet
you, Mr.. South" said the girl with a
smile that found itsf way to the boys
heart. After all, there was sincerity
in foreign" women. George talks of
you so much that feel as If I'd known
you all the while. Don't you think /
might claim friendship with Georges
friends?"
Samson had no answer. He wished
to say something equally cordial, but
the old instinct against effusiveness
tied his tongue.
81 owe right smart to George Les
cott," he told her, gravely.
That's not answering my question"
she laughed. do you consent to be-
ing friends with me?"
Miss" began the boy. Then, real
izing that in New York this form of
address is hardly complete, he hast
ened to add: Miss Lescott, I've been
here over nine months now, and I'm
just beginning to realize what rube
am. haven't no" Again, he broke
off, and laughed at himself Il mean,
l haven't any idea of proper manners,
and so I'm, as we would say down
home, plumb skeered of ladies'"
AS he accused himself, Samson was
looking at her with unblinking direct
ness; and she met his glance with
eyes that twinkled.
Mr.. South" she said, II know all
about manners, and you know all
about a hundred real things that l
want to know. Suppose we begin
teaching each other?"
Samson's face lighted with the rev.
authorizing effect that a smile can
bring only to features customarily
solemn.
Miss Lescott." he said, Tets call
that trade-but you're gettin' all
the worst of it. To start with, you
might give me lesson right now in
how a Teller ought to act. when he's
talkin' to a lady-how ought to act
with you!"
Her laugh made the situation as
easy as an old shoe.
Ten minutes later, Lescott entered.
WELL" he said, with 4 smile, shall
introduce you people, or have you
already done 1t for yourselves?"
oh" Adrienne assured MIN, "Mr.
South and l are old friends" AS she
left the room, she turned and added:
THE second lesson had better be at
my house. If telephone you some
day when we can have the school-room
to ourselves, will you come up?"
Samson grinned and forgot to be
bashful as he replied:

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat II Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder 5others You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
oyerworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
baekache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys win then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with hthia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.-Adv :
