Danes Once scorned Coal Fires.

Coal and its products were not al
ways so popular as they are today,
Alexander Findlay, a Welsh chemist,
reminds us in his book, Ghe Treas
ures of Coal Tar"
"The introduction of coal, especially
as a domestic fuel, was for a long
time regarded with disfavor," he
writes. "Even in the seventeenth CEN
fury 1t met with an active boycott on
the part of the nice danes of London,
who would not come into any house or
rooms where sea-coales were burned,
nor willingly eat of meat that was Ell
Their sod or roasted with sea-coal fire.
doubtless by reason of the pollution
Of the atmosphere by smoke and of the
stencil produced by the burning coal"
Coal was more popular in England
in 1859. when mauve dye appeared as
n of the coal tar products and be-
came so much the rage that Punch re-
ferred to the fashion epidemic as the
Mauve Measles.

FRENCH CONFIDENT
or ALLIED VICTORY
Plan TriumphaI Roadway From
Paris to the Forest of st.
German.

Proof that France has never enter
tanned doubts as to ultimate victory
is shown in plans, conceived some time
ago and just made public, for the ere
alton of a triumphal way leading from
Paris to the Forest of Salnt-Germaii
as a monument to the victorious peace
of the allies.
1t is proposed that it should starr
from the Porte Maillot. The statue OF
the defense of Paris, eommemoratini
1870, crowns the long rise LEADING
from that gate. This statue, consld

thus completing the highway from the
Tuileries arch, along the Champs
Elysee, to the Arc de Triomphe at the
Etoile, passing along the Avenue de lie

Maillot and the new arch to Saint
German.
An electric railway running down
the center of the triumphal way. over
100 yards wide, would carry Parisians
to Saint-G ermain In 10 minutes along
the finest road in Europe.
1t Is said that a French, English and
American committee has been formed
to carry out the project after the var
II is estimated that the work would

Mule Meat

"1f the Germans capture any Ameri-
can mules" says the Birmingham Age
Herald, ''they may be tempted to try
mule steak" Perhaps so, but we trust
none of u friends over there win
ever be called upon to resort to any
such expedient. We are proud of our
mules, the great work they have done
and are doing over here and over there
for victory. So appreciative are we of
the mules services that we are ready
to stand hats off when he attempts to
bray the "Star-Spangled Banner :" but
we can never, no never recommend his
steak eve to the despised Boche as
anything approaching a gastronomic
dainty.-Nashville Banner.

Inventions.

A craze for invention is sweeping
the country. Many a man who has
never been able to invent an excuse to
hand the wife for getting home late
is now accomplishing wonderful
things. Already 100000 appliances
for the destruction of U-boats have
reached the patent Office. One man
has evolved a brick boat, built entire
ly of brick from the keel to the crows
nest. The chief value of this con-
struction is that the brick boat Will
fool the wisest U-boats. 1t sinks as
500 as 1t is launched and the U-boats
are never able to find it.-New York

Expert agriculturists in Australia

Importance of the bumblebee to the

steadily to the business Of protecting

or were driven away, as might have
happened not so long ago. when every

The "black maria" purchased by the

When the machine was purchased
the city had need for a car to haul

American Engineers Show Utter
Contempt for Huns.
WORK IN HAIL OF BULLETS
Throw Bridges Across mo Mans Wa
ter" Under Fire-Work as Quietly
as Possible, but Are Always Certain
to Be Located by the Enemy-often
Go Ahead of Infantry and Prepare
Way for Charge.

Daring and glorious feats of engi-
in building bridges over mo mans riv-
ers," in open contempt for sharpshoot-
ing enemy snlpers and heavy shells
which splashed about, are being mod
estly recounted by wounded engineers
who have just been brought into Paris
hospitals.
These were the men who, at the
Aisne and the Vesle, as well as the
Marine, often went ahead of the infan-
try to bridge the waters over which
the victorious Yanks poured on the
heels of the fleeing Germans. The
American engineers are being COM
mended on every side for their quick
and magnificent work.
Under Hail Of Bullets.
A story told by Sergeant Roland
Hoskin, whose home is at Ahmeek,
Mich, of how companies of engineers
squirmed through the American COM
m%unication trenches, carrying section
al parts Of the bridges, sneaked by the
American first line and slung their
bridges across the Vesle, as shells
shrieked and a hail of bullets rained
about them, Is particularly interesting.
Hoskin himself was injured later by
shrapnel as he was helping to carry
back a wounded comrade.
His story is typical.
"We don't lose any time, / ear tell

ed to him.
would be impossible to put up bridges
such as we have put up In the day
time.
"And when we get to the support
trenches It's some job working your
way along these bitches toward ths
front line, because the bridge section
you are carrying is always In some
body's way.
Bullets Everywhere.
son the Vesle we put up pontoon
bridges, creeping out beyond the
American firing line. We work as
quietly as possible, but we are always
certain of being located before the job
is completed. Then it's bullets every
where. But the job is soon completed
and we leave ii to the boys back of
us to go over and wipe 'em OUT
sour company put up a big bridge
across the Vesle just after the infan-
try went over, to carry our heavy ar
tillery across. The Germans found
out what we were doing and they
called for help from their guns. And,
believe me, they sent over some shells,
none Of them, however, getting near
enough to force us to stop.
"We completed this bridge In five
and one-half hours, and the heavy ar
tillery moved over 1t in good shape.
"For small bridges we generally use
cork or alright gasoline tanks.
"To say the least, it's exciting
work"
