Replacing Gasoline as Fuel.

Gasoline at 60 cents or more per gal
Ion has stimulated British search for
some other fuel for automobiles. Coal
gas Is being tried in many cities, and
Consul Claiborne, at Bradford, inti-
mates that, as its chief disadvantage is
Its bulk, complete success in its use
awaits only facilities for compression
or storage. AS now used, the gas
drawn from the main Is carried in a
rubber-lined canvas bag of mattress
shape, which is strapped to the top of
the motor omnibus or to the rear Of
the automobile. The gas in the bag is
connected to the induction pipe. and
the engine is worked by the suction
process in the same manner as the or
binary gasoline vapor induction. Tn
trial of gas for four months, system
of motor-driven omnibuses operated bv
the Grimsby municipality is said TO
have reduced the fuel cost per mile
nearly two-thirds, the price per gallon
Of gasoline and that per 1000 cubic
feet of coal gas being each CT cents.
The only change in the motor has been
the fitting of a butterfly valve in the air
intake pipe for regulating the air sup
ply; and as an advantage from the use
of gas, ii Is claimed that the engine is
cleaner and the valves do not require
grinding so often.

German Coal Shortage.

Amsterdam.-Thec coal famine Is in
creasing from week to week through
out Germany. Although large num-
Der Of miners have been brought back
from the front and thousands OF war
prisoners are employed In the pits,
even the ammunition factories cannot
get sufficient fuel. The use Of electric
power and gas has been reduced 20
per cent everywhere, but this measure
fails to bring relief. Many cities have
been compelled to prohibit cooking
and heating with gas, and large num-
bers of towns had to shut down their
lighting plants. The manufacturers
of war materials have warned the gov
eminent that they will not be able to

ALLIGATOR FOUND IN SEWER
Employee of Pittsburgh Bureau Of
Highways and Sewers, Pulls
Out 3-Foot Saurian.

Pittsburgh.-The North side has
been famed for many things. Now II

If you don't believe 1t, ask George
Moul, perfectly reliable employee Of
the Bureau of Highways and Sewers.
He has the proof on exhibition at his
home In Lockhart street. He got 1t
yesterday when he was sent to fix
Il sewer In Royal street.
He had lifted the manhole and was
prodding to remove the obstruction,
when Il strange face, with rather evil
looking eyes, bobbed in his range of
vision.
After the first shock Moul grabbed
the head and drew forth 3-foot alli-
gator. He got rope and led it to his
home and is trying to dope out how
the Florida native got this far North.

OuS oEanCA OF the 0SEVlCG
A special duty that the women of
the country will soon be called upon
to undertake is only family defined
as yet. In their prompt organization,
their far-sighted plans for economy
and their toll for the comfort for the
armies, they have SO far greatly met
their great opportunity. But few
months from now, against a strange
sky; another opportunity will stand
out in strong relief.
Not all of the men who want to go
to fight may go. Because of too
many years or of too few, on account
of physical liability or of binding du-
ties at home, great company of
American men will be obliged to stay
behind. Their peculiar part will not
be a simple one; to carry a stout
heart in war time beneath civilian s
coat may prove no small achieve
ment. They will do their best in the
circumstances to be sure; but it is
with those very circumstances that
American womanhood will soon be in
timately concerned.
During the months just past more
than one wife or mother or daughter
has made a little spirit: 81 IL keep
brave as a lion till he's gone; otter that
! may give way little" And after
that perhaps she will. But what of
the husband or son or the brother
who must also see the boy go, and for
whom giving away even ever so little
is unthinkable? He too, has got to be
considered. In fact, his case will by
its very nature be harder than the
case of womankind; without knowing
it. he more than almost anyone else
will need first aid. For the soldier
at the front will he far Loss sensitive

Cats Destroy Birds.

Cats occasionally catch a mouse, but

David Kimchi drew attention to the
verse in Ezekiel which says: 'Take
thou also unto thee wheat, sand bar
ley and beans, and lentils, and mil
let, and ftches, and put them in one
vessel and make the bread threof. :"
"The prophet" commented David
Kimchi, "thus warns the disobedient
children of Israel that, during the
siege of Jerusalem, they will no long
er be able to make their bread with
pure wheat, but they will have to mix
" it all kinds of grain and vegeta-

dred years old and Ezekiel wrote sew
