RESEMBLES FIRE OF GOALS
Into Great Britain, Gives a
Realistic Imitation.

The somewhat novel electric CRATE
fire that is being shown British
householders gives an ingenious inn
itation of flaming Goals. Each heat
ing element is an arc-shaped steel
trough, about ten inches long by Two
wide, across the top of which a
chrome nickel resistance wire is
wound back and forth in kind of
screen, with mica insulation. The
elements required are set as yerti-
cal panels in the fireplace. A cur
rent of 500 watts for each gives a
bright red glow, and as the air pass
ing upward from the bottom becomes
gradually heated, it is divided into
layers of varying density, causing a
shimmering effect like that seen over
railway rails on a hot day. This
radiation and the direct action of
the air coming in contact with the
heated wires make it practicable to
produce red or smoky flames as de-
sired, with cheerful play of light
and shade in contrast to the steady
glow of the ordinary heated radiator.
Of the heat radiated, about three
fourths is found to come from the
heating elements direct, and part Of
the remainder is sent out indirectly
from the metal over the fire, while
part is distributed in the warm air
discharged horizontally into the
room.

DIVISION OF FLORIDA URGED
Those Behind Scheme Consider There
Are Weighty Reasons for That
Radical Proceeding.

Because of differences of climate
and the character of the people be-
tween north and south Florida, agi-
tation has been started to divide the
state by a line running along the
twenty-ninth parallel. Another sug-
gested division line is the .Suanee
river, some twenty-five miles north
Of the twenty-ninth parallel.
The northern portion would con-
tain about $4,000 square miles,
q little larger than West Vir-
ginia and larger than Vermont,
New Hampshire and New Jer-
sey together. South of the twenty
ninth parallel there is something
like 4f000 square miles, slightly
more than Ohio and a little less than
Tennessee.
1t has been proposed to name the
new state, the northern half of
Florida, Jefferson, in honor of
Thomas Jefferson, while the south
half would retain the name of
Florida.
The suggestion for the division of
the state into two states was made
as early as 1914, but the matter was
dropped. Recently the state has been
thrown into a turmoil over the selec-
ton of a Democratic candidate for
governor. The northern part of the
state is pulling in one direction and
the other part in another. The
northern part of the state is inclined
to prohibition, while the southern
part, with Key West and Tampa,
would apparently prefer to retain
the old order of things.
While no formal campaign has
been launched looking to creating
sentiment for division of the state
the prospects are that one will be
under way before many months.
