ekVlfHAT Margaret sees in that girl l

was saying, when the talk was of the
difficulty of getting suitable compan-
Ions for the children. And Mrs. Cal
kins was quite right. Nobody can un-
derstand exactly. It's just as great a
nystery as the one that keeps your
friend guessing why you married your
husband, or wife, as the case may be.
Johnny and his friend were chums
tor many years because they had the
same birthday; and Grace and Ger
.rude found each other through writ
ing the initial G. in the same way. But
another little girl with fiaxen hair and
pale eyes selected her friend because
the latter had such nice dark hair and
skin and eyes. You may not be so SEN
sitive to color; yet it was the wearing

is that Margaret herself could not

her friend.

opportunity to cross, being admitted

Of teeth. But after the beginning Is
made almost any two children can
learn to like each other fairly well. and
the longer they associate the better
they come to understand each other,
the more accustomed they become to
each others ways, the harder will it be
for them to give each other up. Chill
dren's friendships are not deliberate,
calculated selections; they are haphaz-
ard growths. They can therefore not
be reasoned about to any purpose by
the parents, and much less by the chill
dreE themselves.
If they are accidental in their begin
nings and habitual In their continuance,
these childhood friendships are never
theless source of grave concern to
many parents. Margaret's mother could
see in the girls friend many things
that Margaret herself could not see,
and many of them were of kind that
she would rather not have in her
daughters immediate neighborhood.
Mrs. Calkins remembered the story
that they used to tell the children years
ago, about the barrel of good apples
with the single rotten apple, and the
sad fate of all those good apples. And
she feared that Margaret would
catch" all the faults of her friend.
That is why she made heroic efforts to
discredit that young lady In Margaret's

By-Product Coke Oven.

The iron industry of this country
has been adopting the by-product cox
ing process at marvellous rate. There
are practically no by-product coke
plants in the United States, which do
not recover ammonia, tar and light oil
(crude benzoD.
In the vast majority of the plants
also surplus gas is recovered and util-
lied either at the plant Itself or by
distribution to outside consumers.
There are possibly two or three very
small by-product coke plants ut which
tar and ammonia are not recovered for
disposal to the outside markets, but
these would certainly represent con-
siderably less than 1 per cent of the
total by-product coking capacity of
the country that is not now equipped
with benzol-recovery plants, and the
by-product coking plants now under
construction have either contracted for
benzol-recovery equipment or indicated
strong probability that such provi-
sion will be made.-Metallurgi and

Aztec Runners.

Communication (among the Aztecs)
was maintained with the remotest
parts of the country by means of
courlers. Posthouses were established
on the great roads, about two leagues
distant from each other. The cou-
rier, bearing his dispatches in the form
of n hlerogiyphlcal painting, ran with
them to the first station, where they
were taken by another messenger and
carried forward to the next, and so on
till they reached the capital. These
couriers, trained from childhood, tray

There are extreme cases in which IL

FIND VOLCANO in MlNDANAo
Recent Eruption Was Apparent, Lieu
tenant DonneIIy Says Of the
Discovery.

Mindanao has new-volcano, accord
ing to the Mindanao Herald. Lieuten-
ant Donnelly. while on hike into the
interior of Lanao province, discovered
an active volcano in the Piagayungan
range of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant
Donnelly says of his discovery in the
following report:
"June 5, 1916, the undersigned, in
command of combined detachment
of the First Cotabato company, and
the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad
northwest through the Plagayungan
mountain range, came in sight of an
active volcano which from all indica-
tions had recently erupted a discharge
of volcanic ash and either smoke or
flame.
Prom the fact that foliage in the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
scorched as though by flame, hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the scorched
leaves retaining their form, it was
thought that the eruption had been
recent. At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de-
stroyed the fragile remnants of the
burned foliage"
