Tombstone epitaph., 1916-11-05

ny Dr. William E. Philips, director of the bureau of economic geology and technology of the University Of Texas. showed that twelve pounds of the garbage fuel bricks will burn on an average of two and n half hours in a small stove, as against two hours and twenty minutes of the same amount of lump bitumin- ous coal, and will produce the same amount of heat as the latter. The average cost of manufacturing the fuel at the Austin plant is about sl.75 6 ion. without considering the revenue derived by the city from the sale of by products, such as rags. tin cans. bottles. brass, copper. zinc, rubber. etc.
 Dr. F. NJ. Gum of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. who recently delivered q series of lectures on sani- tation and garbage disposal at the University of Texas, expressed the opinion that the process which MT. Culver invented is one of the most promising schemes so far advanced for handling city refuse. that It appeared to him that It was the best way of getting rid of waste and rubbish in a sanitary manner. and that the method might work a new epoch in the garbage and fuel problems of the country.

fruit Is the breakfast of the average person. IL is the meal which most housewives complain about the often- est. being hafl to give variety.
 Grapes are one of the fruits most enjoyed in the fall and are most wholesome fruit; apples. pears and peaches all have wholesome acid. very beneficial to the digestion.
 Plain boiled rice makes a welcome breakfast cereal: omelets of various kinds give a change from the every day shell-cooked. poached or fried egg. A most apPetiz.GS method cf serving eggs is to drop them into individual ramekins. cover with cream, dot with bits of butter and season with salt and pepper; place in the oven in a dish of hot water and bake until the eggs are set.
 Where fresh mackerel Is obtained. no more tasty dish can be offered than broiied mackerel or the fish backed in cream Place It in a dripping pan with a little water. skin side down. and place in the hot oven: when the water has evaporated pour over the fish cupful of good cream; heat through and serve, adding the season. ings at the last. not to curdle the cream, although that need not entirely spoil the dish. but 1t does detract from its appearance.
 Chops, liver and bacon, sausages of various kinds, are all meats used for breakfast. Only a small portion should be served. as 1t Is much better for the health to eat meat but once day and that at the heavy meal, or dinner.
 Hot breads are liked for breakfast, and griddle cakes the year round never seem to lose their popularity. For the Sunday breakfast It Is wise to have an entire change. As 1t is a meal of 1,ore leisure than everyday breakfasts, 1t may be a little more elaborate.
 A fruit that Is subacid Is best to serve in the morning: cereal with cream is given. though the practice of serving acid fruits asd cereals with cream Is quite general.

belt three feet wide and carried 10 huge grinder which reduces 1t to fine pieces. From this grinder 1t Is conveyed to a puiplng ma chine. where hot water and live steam is applied together with Il cer- tain percentage of tar. which acts in conjunction with the hot water and steam as a thorough disinfectant of the product and also as deodorlzer of the smoke of the fuel while being con- sumed as well as a deodorizer of the fuel itself The mass is thoroughly mixed in this machine and is reduced to a pulp. From this machine the mass Is conveyed to a mixer. where coal dust is added In the desired pro portion, according to the purpose for which the fuel Is to be used. For steam purposes. where rapid combus- tion is required, coal dust is unneces- sary. although a very small percentage is sometimes used. while for domes- tic purposes. where slow even fire Is desired. the best results are ob- tained by the addition of 90 per cent of coal dust. From the mixer the mass drops into molding machine where it Is nodded into bricks. Then if is conveyed through a drying kiln where the bricks are thoroughly dried.
 All conveyors, elevators and machin- cry are tightly inclosed so that there is no escape of dust. and the only oior in the entire plant Is the smell of creosote that Is contained In the tar. For this reason it Is perfectly possible 10 establish plant Tn tine business or residential districts of city without heinz offensive.

Is almost miraculous.
 Among the advantages claimed for the new fuel are that IL will not slack. no mntrer how long it Is kept In stor- age. that ii Is impervious to water. and that 1t burns to ashes without leaving a semblance Of clinkers. It also produces practically no ordor and very little smoke when burning. There is a very large percentage. often as high as 9 per cent. of the ordinary coals, that escapes through the grates without being consumed. so that it ire

PLANT THAT MAKES %CE"
Habits of the Frost Weed Have Long Proved a Puzzle to Bot
 anist6<

Late in autumn. after producing two sets of blooms. the frost weed becomes miniature ice factory and forms crystals of ''ice" about the cracked bark of the root. On each little brok- en rootlet there appear cakes of "ice." exactly right in size for the refriger- ator of fairy queen. As yet no bot anist has been able to discover the secret of the plants ice-making.
 The ice appears dten long before ice is formed on the ponds. and can he found by digging up the deeply set rootlets.
 Two blooming seasons Is another peculiarity of the plant. Early in June 1t sends out 3 wealth of golden yellow blossoms, having five petals each and set at intervals upon the thickly ieaved stem.
 Then late in August the plant flow CTS again, producing blooms identical with those of the earlier season.
