BIG GAIN IN FUEL BRl0UETS
Uncle Sans Figures Show Production
In 1916 Was Increased SO Per Cent
Over Previous Year.

The production of fuel briquets In
the United States In 1916 was 295,-
155 net tons, valued at 81, ,445, 1862, an
increase compared with 1915 of 73,61S
tons, or 33 per cent In quantity and
9,946, or 40 per cent, in value, ac-
cOrding to Uncle Sans figures. The
production in 1915 was the greatest
recorded, exceeding that of 1916, the
previous high record, by 44,52O tons.
This increase in the production Of
fuel briquets in 1915 is attributed by

logical survey to the improvement in
trade conditions arising from the Wn-
usual demand for coal, and to great
er general appreciation of the value
of briquets for use as household fuel.
During the last two years the product
of many of the plants has been so
much improved that it gives off less
of the heavy, tarry smoke that domes-
tic consumers have found so objection

Hidden Waters,

Owing to many causes the amount
of water held in the rocks or other
materials that compose the earth va
ries greatly. The amount absorbed de-
pends on the porOSity Of the material,
the slope of the surface and the size
and abundance of joint cracks, tis-
sureS and cavities. The amount of
water in drift or surface material Is
dependent to some extent ON the ma
ture of the underlying rock, and the
amount that finds its way into the
solid rocks is dependent on the thick
ness of the everything deposits. The
amount of water contained in the
crust of the earth-to a depth of three
miles-has been estimated by different
writer's with widely different results.
A recent estimate is given by Mr.. Full
Ter of the United States geological sur
vey, department of the interior, who
concludes that the total amount of
free water in the crust of the earth
would make layer 100 feet thick over
the entire surface Of the earth. Other
writer's have estimated the amount as
very much greater.

would boil asparagus" which discov-
cry years ago has not been improved
upon. This tender, highly priced veg
etable should be cooked quickly to

method to have the whole stalk well
cooked at once Is to put the lunches
well tied into deep pan, an Old-fash-
ioned tin coffee pot Is an ideal dish, as
the asparagus then will stand upright,
The best sauce for asparagus is per-
haps plain melted butter. Dipping the
stalks into the butter and eaten as
one does celery. The following sauce
is rather difficult to make but is the
best Of all sauces for asparagus.

butter in small bits, beating with a

Asparagus served in n rich white
sauce served ON toast is dish most
common. Asparagus cut in small
pieces and cooked in milk is another
good way to save every bit Of the fla
vor. Season with salt, pepper and
butter and if liked, small amount of
flour may be added for thickening.
Asparagus cooked and added to an
Omelet is another good dish. Simply
fold in few tablespoonfuls of aspara-
gus as the Omelet goes into the pan.
Poached eggs served with u white
sauce and asparagus is another good
dish. Serve the sauce on buttered
