Good Coal From Refuse.

Various devices for ecOnOmizing
fuel have been brought to notice in
Holland since the war caused diff
ficulty in procuring coal. 1t has
been found that 20 to 70 per cent of
combustible material remains in fur
mace refuse and a device has been
constructed which preserves a large
part of it. The refuse is finely ground
and placed in liquid with Il specific
gravity little greater than that of
water This is said to be very cheap,
generally refuse from factories. The
mass is agitated the heavier particles
sink to the bottom, while the combus-
tible material floats and can be ScOOped
off to be used in the furnace. 1t is
stated that 200 tons of refuse will yield
SO tons of good fuel.

Rev. Fred Winslow Adams, pastor
Of st. Andrews Methodist Episcopal
church in West Seventy-siXth street,
who recently read from his pulpit an
swers to the question, 'What are the
greatest safeguards against tempta-
tion?" received reply to his question
from Thomas A. Edison. He said:
II cannot answer the question as l
have never had any experience in such
matters. I have never had time, not
even five minutes, to be tempted to do
anything against the moral law, civil
law or any law whatever. If | were to
hazard guess as to what young peo-
pie should do to avoid temptation, it
would be to get job and work at it
so hard that temptation would not
exist for them."-New York Mail.

covered ihure than thirty miles; the
Indians whom they pursued had prob
ably made forty miles with no more
difficulty than they had put behind

The two knew that it was a losing
game, if one factor was not taken
into consideration = the probability
that sooner or later TOinette'S captors
would consider themselves beyond the
possibility of pursuit, would make
camp in the woods for two or three
days while they hunted game; it was
on this off-chance that the two young
men hung doggedly to the chase.

broke. The rain wrapped them in
gray garments of water, drenching
them to the skin instantly, binding
them with its resiStlesS rush. They
plunged wretchedly along through the

through the hOllows. Their deerskin

DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES
Rainbow Has Been Known Since the
World Began-Calied Symbol
of Consistency.

The rainbow is the result of estab-
lished physical laws, being caused by
the refraction and reflection of the
suns rays in drops of rain. These
laws were in operation from the crea-
tion of the world, and as the world
had existed some thousands of years
before the flood, rainbows must have
been a frequent and common spectacle.
1.-THE right Interpretation of Genesis
o.13." saws biblical authority,
"seems to be that God took the rain
how. which had hitherto been but a
beautiful object shining in the heav-
ems when the suns rays fell on falling
rain. and consecrated it as the sign
of his love and the witness of his
nromise." LANCE, learned German
commentator. says: 1.-The Hebrew word
translated as q sign of the covenant
does not imply q counteraction Of nat
ural law, or the bringing of a new
thing into nature. Any fixed object
NAV he used for a sign, and here the
very covenant itself, or a most impor-
tant part of it, being the stability of
nature. there is most striking con-
sistencv in the fact that the sign of
such covenant is taken from nature
itself. The rainbow, ever appearing
in the sunshine after rain, is the very
symbol of constancy. 1t is selected
from all others. not only for its SPLEEN
dor and beauty. but for the regularity
with which it cheers US, Wien we look
ont for it after the storm" The jew

around them. Their heads alone, pill
lowed on their arms, were above the
Sluicing streams. Once or twice, so
utter was their exhaustion, they slept.
It rained in showers in the morn
ing. There was no sun, no OppOrtu-
nifty to dry their clothing. They ate
q mOrsel of rain-soaked veniSOn, plOd-
ded on and on through the dripping
wilderness in logged silence too weary

at Ike and was startled at the sight
of Blackford's drawn blue lips and the
suffering lines of his face. When he
caught David's eyes on him, Ike forced
a smile that shone through the pour
ing rain.
Shouldn't be surprised if it rains
before the day is over" he grinned.
"Tm getting tired of this drought"
But the mortal WEAKNESS came back
to his face as David turned forward
again. All through the day he forced
himself forward, summOning every re-
serve of strength to compel his limbs
to persist in the relentless struggle on
ward. A sudden pain shot through
his side, almost making him cry out.
His head began to feel strangely light
and his pulses throbbed in his ears.
He wanted to cry out to David to stop.
The rain ceased and the breeze which
drove some early-yellowing leaves
downward was chilly; but he burned
with heat that made him dizzy.
Finally ne began to stagger from
side to side as he Walked; and then.
with a pitiful, inarticulate moan, which
David barely heard, he pitched for

Indiana Man Fond of Music

A man in Indiana has equipped his
house with an apparatus of his own
device, which enables him to have
music in any room at any time by
merely pr ing a button. A number
of monograph records are arranged
upon a table in the basement in such
a way that they can be moved by an
electric motor under the table. A
large horn is connected with the re-
producing mechanism, and this horn
sends the music into air passages
which are provided for every room in
the house. These passages can be
closed automatically in any room in
which the music is not desired, but if
left open the entire house is flooded
with melody.

old Spanish merchant, who had seen
George Rogers Clark storm Vincennes
80 years before, sat at David's side, a
fine old fellow of seyenty-five.
The only light visible was that in
the shop of the printer, Elihu Stout,
industriously aiding his apprentice at
the types or wiping his inky fingers to
exa line a proof pulled on the broad
hand-press. The moths and insects
futtered around his candles and the
sweat poured off his forehead; but the
Western Sun was due for publication
on the morrow and he meant to see
it through.
David listened with closer attention
when he overheard Governor Harrison
address q sQuare-jawed young man in
the uniform of a captain in the Unit
ed States army, telling him that he
had just written to Eustis, the sec
rotary of war, at Washington, and
had commended to the department the
work of the young captain in trans
forming the little fort near Vincennes
from a place wretchedly neglected into
an adequate stronghold. Vigo whis-
pered to David that the boy was Capt.
Zachary Taylor from Kentucky, who
had been placed in command at Fort
Knox but a few weeks previously.

Taylor flushed through his tan with
pleasure. He would have liked to say
that he hoped that Harrison might
some day occupy the presidential chair,
but he was as taciturn as most of the
men of the frontier; far less would
he have permitted himself to dream
that the great office might be his own.
