SULPHUR FROM SHELTER GAS
Methods of Handling Fumes Proposed by University Professor Regard
 ed as Most Important.

In regard to getting the sulphur fumes out of shelter gas, Prof. $. w. Young of the Leland Stanford univer- sity lately presented to the American Institute of Chemical Engineers a pa per on proposed methods whereby the result of the process is crude sulphur. This would, indeed. be a godsend. When copper and other ores are smelt- ed they must also be roasted to get the sulphur away from the metal. This is easy enough to do, but the fumes that escape into the air are the fumes of sulphurous acid, and If there is anything that disposes a farmer to carry pitehfork and double-barreled shotgun along with him when he goes to make his protest 1t Is these very sulphurous fumes in the air. In fact, in some states the laws now forbid the liberation of the gases of burning sul- phur in nearly every activity except that of volcanoes. Volcanoes are ex- empt.
 It is possible to collect this sulphur ous gas and make sulphuric acid out of it, but some plants are so located that transportation costs forbid. Sul- phur, on the other hand, may be stored out of doors So long as desired and sold whenever there Is q good price available for 1t.
 Two methods are known, wet one and dry one, but both depend upon the tendency of sulphur to get out of combination with oxygen in the pres ence of certain other bodies. Vast quantities are likely to be thus pro duced.-Ellwood Hendrick.

 There is very little fullness in the wide yoke made with stripes running round the figure, but plenty of it in the lower part or the sKIrl willcn IS plaited into the yoke. The plaits are pressed flat and the plaits almost con-

difficulty of avoiding the commonplace because a large proportion of the buy CTS of black hats are women of con- servative taste. But there Is no direc- tion in which successful effort in de. signing meets with so much profitable appreciation.
 Not all little black hats are con- servative in shape and trimming. Shapes that are daring. or even q bit rakish. are permitted in black, and admired. So that there Is little black hat for everyone, and everyone wants one and should have one, if for no other reason than appearing occa- sionally in all-blaek. There is nothing somber about black in millinery this season, because of the brilliance of braids and trimmings, nearly all little black hats are of lisere-a braid with Il highly polished surface-lacquered ribbons, jet beads and otf>Sr shiny or naments add luster to the shape

TRICK WAS COSTLY TO HIM
Conjurer Who Hound" Coins on Street Car Floor Forced by Con-
 ductor to Turn Over Money.

A conjurer performing at a local theater got on a street car with two members of his company, and after a while, moved by some sudden impulse, he pretended to find sundry quarters, stooping here and there, and producing them from under the seats, on the floor, anywhere. 10 the amaZement of the passengers. says the Toronto Mail.
 His two friends laughed heartily at the joke. Not so, however, the conduc tar who came forward and sternly de handed the twelve 25-cent pieces he had picked up," in order that he might hand them over in accordance with the regulations governing lost property found in the cars.
 In vain did the finder" protest that it was only conjuring trick. The conductor obviously did not believe him. And in the end, in order to avoid a compulsory visit to the police station, he had to give up the coins.

Let Nature Rule.

In gardening of extent be true to art and nature and do not wreak viola ton of either on the landscape for the sake of being original. It is not neces- sary or indeed best for your garden to possess any feature or effect that will distinguish 1t from many others. Your large garden should be marked for it's fidelity to nature so far as the latter may be followed while still recogniz- ing the fullest use of the premises by man.

BUILT FOR KINGS DAUGHTER
Famous French Road Constructed BY
Louis XIV to Render Travel
More Easy.

The high road running along the
edge of the plateau of Craonne
France, frequently mentioned in the
official communiques during the second
battle of the Aisne, and which is going
down to history under the name of the
"Chemin des Dames,' (the ladies'
way), dates from the time of Louis
XIV.
This road, beginning at the Paris
Maubeuge road, about ten miles north
east Of scissors, crosses the plateau
of Craonne, distance of about twelve
miles, then deseends into the valley Of
the Ailette to cross the Vauclerc
woods to the domain of the ancient
chateau of Dove, near Bouconville,
where the Princess Adelaide, Sophie
and Victoire, daughters of Louis XIV,
visited one of their ladies of honor,
Nine. de Narbonne, every summer.
The roads Of the region were de-
testable. Out Of consideration for the
princesses a new paved road was built
along the crest Of the plateau and from
that fact it derives the name Of the
"Chemin des Danes"

room TO wait, and there saw upon his
table an abusive and scurrilous type
written letter in German addressed TO
the emperor. Then it suddenly dawned
upon them that the affable young man
might be the actual author of those
infamous letters, about which all Ber-

next day, and watched, subsequently
learning, to their surprise, that he was
the son of General Won Trautmann,
and, further, that he had as a friend
one Of the personal Wallets of the EN-
peror, from whom, no doubt, ne OBJ

persons at court.

whereupon he admitted to US that he

fathers release"
"And why did he not do so?" I asked.
Because next morning he was found

EDITORIAL NOTE. William Lee
Q1eux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won Heltzendorff,
the Iatters revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the pOssessor of its fnnermost
secrets.
The English ssWho's Whoo says of
him. "He has intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental coun-
tries and f. considered by the govern
ment (of Great Brittany an authority on
such mntters-o Another authority snyss
s.Few people have been more closely RS
socinted with know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than he.'
LeQueux probably has more sources
of secret information at his command
than any contemporary in civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vnst store of secret information through
a specially organized department with
which LeQueux works voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeItzendorR became an In
Innate of LeQueux several years prior
to the outbreak of the war; he has been
living in retirement in France since
August, 1914, and 1t was there that Lee
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permission to
make public these revelations OF the
anner life of the acknowledgements
the democracfes of the world might
come to know the reul, but heretofore
hidden, personalities of the two domi-
uant members of the autocracy they nre
now arrayed against.
