Hy.Product Coke Oven.

The iron industry of this country has
been adopting the by-product coking
process at u marvellous rate. There
are practically no by-product coke
plants in the United States, which do
not recover ammonia, tar and light oil
(crude benzol). In the vast majority
of the plants also surplus gas Is re-
covered and utilized either at the plant
itself or by distribution to outside con-
sumers. There are possibly two or
three very small by-pr0duct coke plants
at which tar and ammonia are not re-
covered for disposal to the outside mar
kets, but these would certainly repre-
sent considerably less than 1 per cent
Of the total by-product coking capacity.

Candles for the lunch or dinner tn
BILE, candles for the living room and
candles for the dressing table are
among the gifts that delight everybody.
Among them r classed small electric
lamps {often made to simulate the old
fashioned candle) Which are used as a
substitute for canales. Glass candle
sticks prove easiest to keep clean and
shining and are therefore the hest
choice for the dining room and the
dressing room. Brass or gilded candle
sticks, or those of mahogany. are liked
for living rooms or the library.

Emigration from the eastern states
to the middle West began in a small
way soon after the close Of the Revo-
