! Smoke h caused by failure to burn
the combustible gases that arise when
fuel IL exposed to the fame. The edi-
TOT of Power describes these gases as
"a complex mixture of various hydro
rarhons. from some Of which carbon
separates on cooling in the form OF
la,npbiack or SCOT. The smoker fuels
also give OF tarry vapors. which con
dense and help to gather the carbon
Particles into fakes or 'smuts.
+ For the burning OF these gases ~
they are evolved from the coal three
conditions must exist: Air must Be
supplied above the fuel bed. the tem-
perature must be high enough to IN
sure ignition and there must be time
or space for combustion before the
mixing currents or gas and air are
cooled BY lowing into or among the
tubes Of the boiler"
firing coal In large quantities pro
duces so much gas that neither ait
supply nor combustion space is great
enough for its burning. Therefore coal
should be put on in small quantities n
frequent intervals.

Current for Heating Homes.

According to the Electrical World.
electric heating has been seriously
tried in a great many places in Nor
way, and reports made by royal COM
mission indicate that a pleasant, even
temperature is possible with an ex-
penditure of from 80 watts to 35 watts
per cubic meter of space-35 cubic
feet. This will keep the temperature
of a room at Ga degrees Fahrenheit
with auxiliary heating when the Their.
mometer registers as low as from 10
to S degrees Fahrenheit. Under these
circumstances electric heating is as
sumed to be cheaper than other fuel
when the energy can be supplied at
81 to sS.25 per horse power per annum
on maximum demand. - Scientific

Pigeons Learn to Swim,

The swimming of blue pigeons-the
familiar domestic birds-is the re-
markable sight reported to a Dutch
natural history journal. Some months
ago one of the doves was thrown into
the water in flight and rescued by
human aid, and since then they have
become more familiar with the water
Pieces of bread noticed in shallow
places evidently tempted them at first.
Gaining courage, they soon learned to
swim, and just before making his
report the observer saw two of them
sailing around like gulls a few yards
from his house. When they tired OF
the bath they quietly few out of the
water.

COLUMBIA St. MERCHANTS
FAVOR SUNDAY PICTURES
Some Favor Stores Closing
Others Want Them
Open

Every merchant along Columbia
Street is in favor of Sunday base
ball and picture shows on Sunday
evening. but they are divided as to
whether the stores should remain
closed or not. Some favor closing
all stores, others favor serving
patrons who can buy only on Sun
day, others want the front doors
locked and others want the front
doors closed. Anyway they all
agree that the stopping Of Sunday
baseball and motion pictures would
deprive the citizens of what little
amusement there is in this city on
Sunday.
} DR.. Joseph, of Joseph & Levy,
favors closing the stores on Sunday.
He is in favor of Sunday baseball
and moving pictures. H. Green
berg favors conditions in the future
as in the past, but thinks the doors
of all stores should be closed on
Sunday. f. A. Quick. of the Model
shoe store is in favor of Sunday
baseball and motion pictures, but
thinks the stores ought to remain
closed. B. E. Bagley favors motion
pictures, Sunday baseball and the
closing of the front doors. Strug
brothers favor both amusements,
but thinks all stores should at least
close their front doors on Sunday.
The Williams Drug Co., favor con-
ditions as they were until last week.
Mrs. W. G. Henry says it is ridicu.
lous to stop the picture shows and
baseball but favors a closing of the
stores, if a majority want it. M.
Hyman favors the closing of stores
but wants Sunday baseball and
pictures. N. Marx thinks that all
front doors of stores should be clos.
ed on Sunday but that the picture
show should be permitted to run.
Harry, the tailor, favors pictures
aud whatever is decided upon re-
garding Sunday closing will be sat-
isfactory to him. Chas. Warwick,
of the Grand, wants the picture
shows to operate, but thinks that
all stores should close at noon on
Sunday. Meyer Berenson, of Beren.
son Bros, wants picture shows and
stores to remain open but front
door closed. D. Bienn wants Sun.
day picture shows and the closing
is not worrying him as he never
keeps open on Sunday. Frank
Lusco, who conducts a grocery and
market, favors open Sunday as he
has a big trade in fruit and oysters
and Sunday closing causes him a
loss of fruit and vegetables. S.
Elias, of Uncle Sans Department
Store, favors amusement for all and
the keeping Of front doors closed.
A. w. Marth, of the United Store
favors picture and baseball but
thinks the stores should be closed
on Sunday.
H. H. Wilcox, Of the Bogalusa
Mercantile Co., was not at his place
of business when a reporter called,
but it is stated that he favors the
closing of stores, but thinks we
ought to have another ball park
and a picture show for Sunday
amusement.
