Storing Coal In Water.

The advantage of storing coal un.
der water where deterioration is much
less than in the air. are appealing
more and more strongly to engineers.
1t has been generally recognized that
the gases concealed in the pores of
the coal-oxygen in particular-are
responsible for both heating and de
terioration, and their escape should
be prevented as far as possible. Coal
immersed in water is practically seal
ed, and little oxidization takes place
Experiments have shown that coal
kept under water for the space OF
three years lost less than 3 per cent
in efficiency, while supplies stacked
in the open often show a decrease in
value of from to per cent in a
single year. in tropical countries the
decline is greater than in the temper
ate zones.

Two blocks away we fell under the

A Cuban refugee met us at the door
and dared us to come in.
We were offered an apartment on
the eleventh floor which had never
been occupied. The reason was obvi.
Gus. The walls were too close to-
gether. 1t might be a success as a
place to press autumn leaves, but not
as place to live in unless the tenants
went through life standing up. We
therefore declined with thanks and

faith in Cuban refugees.

Plea for Shade Trees.

Shade trees are rapidly dying out in
many of our streets; this is frankly
admitted by civic officials. For years
past spasmodic efforts have been
made for better care of the trees
generally, but little of a practical ma.
ture has been achieved. One cause
for this is the meager amount an.
nually voted for tree culture, care and
planting. This city spends less on such
work than any other of its size on the
continent. In many of the big United
States cities the importance of max.
ing streets attractive, by the planting
of shade trees, is demonstrated by
their appointing special commissions
who have sole charge of this branch
OF the civic service. The results thus
obtained have been most satisfactory

ONE DAYS FINE WORK
Rural SChooIhouse in Tennessee
Is Transformed.
Dirty, Oisreputable Building Repaired,
Painted and Decorated in Eight
Hours by Normal School
Teacher and Pupils.

Rural School Letter No TO-" of Feb
ruary 10, 1914, issued by the bureau O
education, Washington, D. c., relate.
this story of "One Days Work on {
Country Schoolhouse"
| 1t took just one working day of eigh
hours to transform Tennessee rura
schoolhouse that was in very bad cc1i
dltlon into building of which any
community would be proud. What was
accomplished in this instance by com
munlty cooperation could be carried
out effectively by any county superin
tendent, teacher or school improve
ment association
This unique and practical demon
stration in public-school improvement
was engineered by Prof. ID. Riley Ha.
worth of the East Tennessee State
Norman school. Professor Haworth
first secured the cooperation of the
county board of education of McMinn
county, in which the demonstration
was carried out. He also secured the
cooperation of the public school teach
ers of the county and of the patrons
of the Neil school, the plan being to
show what any neighborhood can do
in one day by united action In the i'm
provement of school buildings and
grounds.
A band of teachers, school patrons
and normal school students marched
out to the Neil school early in the
morning to begin operations. An Off.
made photographs of the school
grounds, the building and interior at
a. m, before work began. and again
at p. m, when the days work was
completed The before" and "after"
pictures made it look as if miracle
had taken place.
The building at 8 a. IN. was in as dis
reputable a condition as it could be
and still be used for school purposes.
The workers were armed with shovels,
hoes, axes, carpenters tools, paint,
whitewash and soap. They nailed on
new boards where they were needed,
painted the building, built chimney,
cleaned up the rubbish, scrubbed the
floor, renovated the entire interior,
constructed a bookcase for the teach
er tinted the walls a pearlgray color,
and hung pictuSes. The old desks were
removed and new desks, supplied by
the school district, were placed in the
building.
The outlay aggregated, in cash, $33.
1t included IL gallons of paint, gal
Ions of linseed oil, paint brushes,
one-half bushel of whitewash, 81 worth
Of weather boarding and lathing, 2
pounds of nails. window shades. ma
terial for sash curtains, 4 pictures, |

library and one American flag. When |
the work was completed the building |
presented as attractive an appearance
as the best one-room country school.
One of the most delightful features
of the day was the social enjoyment |
that resulted from the gathering to-
gether of such large group of work
ers. At noon a picnic dinner was
served by people in the neighborhood
