 Aside from It's attractive business aspect, the enlistment of American money and effort in the great task of reconstruction that will remain at the end of the war will tend to cement still more closely the ties that bind the two great Republics together, and will en- able Americans to discharge in part the debt they owe to France for her friendly interest in the welfare and progress of the United States from the beginning of its life as a na- don.
 In judging the industrial status of any nation. It's production and con- sumption Of coal. iron. and steel and the growth of its transportation sys- tems are highly significant factors.
 In 1869, French industries consumed o1 million tons of coal. of which i3.5 millions were taken from home mines. Tn 1912. the consumption was 61 mil lions. of which fl million tons were taken from home mines.
 Tn 1869. the French output of cast iron was 1,3s0,000 tons, and of steel. tOG0ON0 tons. In 1914, France pro. duced 5,311,0 900 tons of cast iron and 4,635 00O tons of steel.

The first thing that a human being should recognize about himself is that his character is his distinguishing feature. It is not the amount of money, the amount of power, the amount of brains, that a man has, but his character, that indeIibly stamps him.

THE THRONE IN THE HOME.
Whore Two Should Rule az. One to In
sure Real Happinesa.

"a man may build throne for the
woman he loves" says the Mothers
Magazine, ''but he will find that to
make her q queen he must mount it be-
side her, for only where two rule as one
can either hold true sway. Whether
married or single, we do not live unto
ourselves alone All the world some
how is affected by what we are, and in
the married state we have greater
obligation than merely to keep the
peace or to observe the conventions or
to demonstrate how we can improve
upon Gods law of life and love.
1T is we'll that we should use every
God given power of mind and spirit,
every quality and grace and virtue at
our command, before and after, in or
der to live up to the privileges and re-
sponsibilities Of marriage. But mar
riage fortunately is a thing of the
heart rather than of the intellect, and
it Is our wrong attitude Of mind to-
ward matrimony that would drag it
down to our own level and limit Of
comprehension and make it merely
human mistake instead Of divine gift.
IF we would make 1t blessing in
stead Of curse, If we would have it
encompass all of our needs in Joy and
sorrow, If we would have it endure
with us through life and eternity as the
sublime fact Of our existence, we must
live up to it hour by hour in a spirit
OF faith and hope and charity"

Tho Track of Sha Earth.

If the sun and earth and the earth's
orbit could be seen, then the track of
the earth would be spiral around that
Of the sun. Go take broomstick, wind
wire around 1t like thread on q spool,
take out the stick and stretch the coil
until the space between each turn Is,
say, one-third OF an inch and make a
hundred turns Of the wire. Then this
spiral or coil would represent the track
of the earth through space during a
hundred years. The sun moves toward
the star Vega at a speed Of twelve
miles per second and carries the earth,
all the planets and their moons along.
But they all move around the sun at
the same time and therefore traverse
spirals, represented fairly by extended
coils Of wire.

A Comparjaon.

a German military critic said that
Robert e. Lee was Americas ablest
soldier. But when Lees army OF in
vasion came up into Pennsylvania It
didn't cut down tree, trample gar
den or steal pig. Indeed, Lee was SO
good soldier that he said the burning
OF Chambersburg was military blum
der for which he was not responsible.
The officer in oil Americas wars who
did the most burning, hacking and rob-
bing was BENEDICT Arnold after he had
turned traitor to his country. But the
chief effect Of 1t was to solidify the col
ohists into an effort to win the Revolu-

Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Sprague of

short visit was paid to Orr's Island
where Mr.. Sprague used to reside five
or six years ago when he was purser
on the Aucocisco and well known and
liked by all the summer people in the
Bay. Mrs. Sprague, before her mar
rage in March to Mr.. Sprague, was
Miss Betcher of Chicago, III. This

country. In view Of this success much
attention is now being devoted to the
development Of the plan here and
abroad.
About $50 cubic feet Of coal gas is
required to equal gallon of gasoline.
For this reason suitable containers
have not been found. The best ar
rangement now consists Of gas bag
made of balloon fabric, fastened to a
light wooden rack on top Of the car.
From this supply pipe runs down the
edge of the wind shield on the carbu-
rotor side of the engine and dis
charges the gas either directly into the
carburetor or into the intake near the
carburetor. A check valve obviates
the danger Of backfire, and cutoff
enables the driver to use gasoline while
carrying gas, or vice versa. In the
same pipe is a connection for the gas
supply main 20 be used when the gas
bag Is filled. The operation requires
about ten minutes.
A difficulty, however, Is that an en-
CINE propelled by coal gas develops
only 90 per cent Of the power that Is
obtained from gasoline. 1t Is neces-
sary, to drive at high speed to get
the best results. One remedy, how.
