!. OUR DAILY BIRTHDAY PARTY
2 January 10.
!. !. -. :. 49,. =. X !. + !. :

DR.. Frederick G. COttrell, the young
California chemist who has solved the
problem of eliminating the smoke evil
in cities, and has turned his invention
over to the Smithsonian Institution
with the understanding that its earn
ings shall henceforth be applied to
the advancement of science, is 30
years old today. Cottrell is well
known in science, but almost unknown
to the reading public. He worked out
the problem of Kidding cities of smoke
and coal dust, and after his method
had been proven a success, he sacri-
feed it for the cause of science. Al
ready $4,000 has been earned for sci
ence, due to the unselfishness of the
young Californian. DR.. Cottrell was
born at Oakland, January 10, 1877, and
studied at the University of California
and the Universities of Berlin and
Leipsig. On his return to America
he became an instructor in the Uni
yersity of California. In 1911 he en-
tered the service Of the Bureau OF
Mines and became chief chemist of the
San Francisco laboratory. At a mod
est compensation he is giving much Of
his time to helping the mining indus
try. DR.. Cottrell sought his education
without wealth and is today COM
paratlvely poor man. His invention,
which has proved so successful, solves
troublesome riddle for big cities. BY
his process the solid matter in smoke
is precipitated electrically and does
not leave the smokestack or the smelt-
ers. What distinguishes DR.. Cottrell
from the regular order of inventors
is that he attributes his success to ex-
lperiments done by other scientists be-
fore him. He insists that all he has
done is to build from the basis they
had established. American and Eu-
ropean scientific societies have rec
ognized the value of his work.

The Rat That John Caught.
Hazard Herald.)

Hazard Herald)
John Sexton told us a rat story" a
few evenings ago and it is too good
to keep, so we pass it on.
John baited his rat trap one night
last week. Next morning he found
that two of the pesky rodents had be-
come ensnared, so he thought he would
just let them remain in the trap over
the next night and perhaps they would
attract others. On the second morn
ing John again inspected his rat trap
and found--only one rat, but he, as
John described him, was as large as
a tom cat. The two caught on the
previous night were of ordinary size
full grown" John said. There was
mystery. What became of the
first two rats you caught" we asked,
and John solemnly declared that "the
big rat had eaten up the other two,
cleaning 'em up as slick as a button
not leaving hide nor hair"

Stanford merchants and business men
to whom he had given cold checks and
paid them. He told Mr.. Weatherforl
that he would like to be taken to Sci
eDce Hill and have an opportunity to
pay the bank there what was owing
it on the check he had forged, but as
a warrant has already been issued for
his arrest by officers at Somerset,
Sheriff Weatherford was compelled to
take him there and turn him over to
the officers. McGuffle says he has
been away for some time and has made
enough money to pay off all he owes.
