RUN AUTOS WITH COAL GAS
London Motorists Find 1t Cheaper
Than Gasoline at Present High
Price of Latter.

Great interest has been aroused by
the reference made in the London
Telegraph recently to the economic ad-
vantageS of the utilization of coal gas
as q substitute for petrol (gasoline),
says that newspaper. 1t has been es-
tablished by actual practice that 25O
cubic feet of coal gas-the ordinary
gas that is used for household illtmina-
ton purposes-eQuals one gallon of Pc
troll when applied to the work of driv-
ing a motor vehicle. IF gas costs Y
cents 1000 cubic feet it is equivalent
to petrol at IS cents gallon, and at
96 cents 1000 cubic feet is equivalent
to its competitor at "A cents gallon.
AS petrol cannot be bought today
for commercial purposes at under As
to IS cents gallon, it will be seen
how great is the economy effected. So
far as the alterations rendered neces-
sary to the engine of a motor vehicle
are concerned, the only additional eX-
penditure is about $500, and the gas
bag container for the storing of the
vapor costs $75. Thus, for the ex-
penditure of $3.50, an ordinary petrol
using motor vehicle of any description
can be converted into a gas driven one,
and the driving expenses reduced enor-
mously.

plane Carries Fl People.

Rather meager reports from England
bring the news that the British have
finally been successful in their attempt
to build huge airplane, for machine
has been produced which carried
pilot and 20 passengers to an altitude
of 1000 feet on q test trip. Details of
some of the most recent forms of giant
airplanes show that these have as high
as 1000 horse power divided between
four. or in some cases two Rolls-ROyce
water-cOoled motors. In the way OF
equipment, these planes are provided
with two or four machine guns, at least
one of three-inch caliber. They are
supposed to carry 1900 pounds or more
of bombs. and have u speed of 50 to
100 miles per hour. Incidentally, this
is a record for passenger carrying, the
previous record being y, by the Rus
sian Sikorsky and the Curtis super
America type.

WILL NEED METRIC SYSTEM
United States Will Find Adoption of
New Measurements More lmpor-
tant After War, Is Claim.

When the war is ended we shall
have greater need than ever before
of an international standard OF
weights and measures, says the Amer
lean Penman. The continent of Eu-
rope and South America use the meter,
the gram and the liter. 1t is absurd
for us to use the metric system for our
money and yet cling to the archaic
yard" pound" and gallon" These
terms are AnglO-SaXon traditions,
childish in these days.
The growth of our large cities has
almost destroyed the old-time exact
appreciation of weights end measures
by our people. The latest generation
in the cities does not know what a
''bushel," peek" or 'Guart'' actually is.
nor do they know correctly what Il

recover the lost ground.
The unity of the kingdom once more

How Hotel de Vile Was Built.
1t is somewhat remarkable that up
to the period to which our subject be-
longs so important q city as Bourges,
and one so given to building, should
have remained without hotel de
Vile. But such is the fact, and the
city fathers were content to hold their
meetings in q church chapel known as
ia Comtale" from it's foundation by
one of the counts of Berry. This
church was damaged and its chapel de-
stroyed in 1887 by one of those de-
vastating fires so common in medieval
towns, whose timber houses, crowded
in narrow and tortuOuS streets, offered
such ready food for the flames. The
whole northern quarter Of the city,
which was then reduced to ashes, was
promptly rebuilt, and the municipal
authorities. seized upon this opportu-
nifty to house themselves wOrthily. The
original building of the hotel de vile
standing at the back of the court and
still substantially intact was then
erected. In the sixteenth century inn
portant additions were made.
The building is rectangular, contain
ing one long and one square room on
each Of it's two floors, and an octagonal

principal feature in the elevation, and
on it were lavished the richest decora-
tive efforts. This tower was originally
surmounted by an open story, or "bel-
videre," to which the now useless tur-
ret stairs led, and which provided a
point of observation over the town,
useful for the detection of incipient
fires. This was removed during res
toration and replaced by the present
cornice and conical roof.
The great hall within has a richly
nodded timber ceiling and is adorned
by q noble stone chimneypiece. On Its
mantel q frieze of quatrefoil lozenges
is decorated in every panel with
belled sheep (Brebis clarinee) repeat
ed from the arms which the city took
from its cloth industry and which were
once carved on the central shield sup
ported by a shepherd and sherpherdess.

teenth century that BOurges was
granted by royal patent the privilege
of bearing three f1eurs de lys in chief

Humor From British Tar.

An incident illustrative of the quiet
humor of the British tar is thus de-
scribed:
In Modros harbor, in the eastern
Mediterranean, coxswain Of the navy
ran his picket boat into trawler, and,
knowing his error, listened with dis
ciplinary patience while the irate mas
ter expressed his views on royal naval
picket boats in a wealth of invective.
The silent coXswain pushed off, but,
passing under the stern of the trawler,
looked up at one of the crew and
shouted:
"What do you feed your old man on?
Acid drops ?"-London Tit-Bits.

to causes such as these that the
French city of Bourges is still so rich
in buildings of the medieval and
Renaissance periods, says writer in
Country Life.
Bourges proclaims by it's name the
antiquity of its Importance. 1t is one
of those tribal capitals so numerous
in France which still preserve the
name of an otherwise forgotten peo-
pie, while the title it bore in the days
of the Roman empire has long ago
passed out of use. The circumstance
is all the more remarkable in this case,

survives, still further corrupted, in the
form Berry" The province of that
name, occupying as it does the very
center of the realm of France, has
been described as constituting a com
pendulum or epitome of the whole by
the varied nature of its conformation
and produce.
Once Leaders In GauI.
If the true heart of France has had
its seat rather in the He de France
and Paris than in Berry and Bourges,
there have been times when the latter,
too, have. formed a determining factor
in the national destinies. When the
Jurisdiction of Rome hardly extended
beyond her walls, the Bituriges held
the hegemony of Gaul, and in Caesars
day their power proved one of the
hardest nuts he had to crack before
his conquest could be completed, while
the wealth they had amassed through
their position on the direct route from
Italy to the ocean was an object of de-
sire. The town, situated on rising
ground surrounded at all points but
one by Il belt of swamp, was strongly
defended by walls and towers Of tim
Der and stone, on whose imposing and
not unpleasing mien Caesar comments.
In the later middle ages Bourges
blossomed again into rich crop of ar
tistic production, including the noble
Cathedral of st. Etienne and also the
great Palace of John. duke of Berry,
the luxurious and art-loving uncle of
the mad King Charles VI, which, with
his neighboring castle of N1ehun-sur-
Yevre, were reckoned the wonders of
the age, but have both disappeared
with the exception of unimportant
fragments. Later still followed the
interesting group of domestic and mu-
nicipal architecture.
1t is probably no accident that it
should have come into being in that
same fifteenth century which saw
Bourges for q brief space once more at
the center of the nations affairs.
