Oldcnburg said
 The stolen Koran is unqucstion- ably one of the most famous volumes of its kind By Mussolmans through out the world it was regarded as very holy. personally have seen hundreds of worshippers of Allah walk into the public library and bow bcfor" the book. A beautiful legend surrounds this volum" the blood spots on it's covers are said to be those of Mo. hamet himself l don't know tn" motive that may have impclled thos" who stole it. do not believe the story that Turks have stolen it, as the soviet government already has promised to return it to any properly designated body representing the Mo hammedan church.
 Photographic copies of the volume ar" to be found at the library.
 The volume came originally from Turkey where it was presented to n number of Russian scholars as gift to the Pctrograd public library.
 A few days before the theft, num- Der of American collectors offered $1 900 .o00 for it.

HOW THECOAL SHORTACECAN
 BE OVERCOME

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9-With the same degree of energy, enthusiasm and patriotism as manifested by the women of the United States during the year in saving sufficient wheat to feed all of the allies. the owners of steam plants and the firemen can save in the next year forty five million tons of coal. and thereby reduce materially the threatened coal shortage. accord ing to the United States bureau of mines. department of the intrior.
 In the average steam plant. for every hundred tons of coal burned, only fifty seven tons are actually used in mak- ing steam The bureau of mines de Clares that 1t is entirely feasible to increase the average efficiency of these plants from 57 to G. per cent, saving fifteen tons of coal out of every one hundred tons used. As 300.OOO,OO tons of coal annually are necessary to supply all the steam plants in this country. the same work could be done with 225.noo.00 tons, with d saving of about 45.OOO 900 tons.
 In the average boiler plant accord ing to the statement of the bureau. 25 per cent of the heat of the coal burned is lost up the stack That is. out of every 100 tons of coal burned tn" heat of thirty-fy" tons literally goes up tn" stack This loss. which th" bureau believes can be greatly reduced, is caused by the admission oi too much or too little air 10 hlrn tn" coal properly. IL takes fourteen pounds of air to burn one bound of coal and this can be guagod by the us" Of proper apparatus which is cX- plaincd by the bureau of mines in a pamphlet just issued for the benefit of the tir"mcn
 'lsing just plain, ordinary intclli- g"nc". We can save a minimum of 45.- ooo,oo0 tons in q year" said Van II. Manning. director of the bureau. yes torday 'Fh" methods to be used are easy and simple 10 understand The saving can com" through the good will and steady honest effort of the iir"mon and the engineers aul the announcement and appreciation oy th" owners and managers of rlant. There k no miraculous powder tha'. when dissolved in water and sprnklcl over coal. will make it give up moro heat and produce more steam All powders sold under such prctenscs ara frauds. Also there are no patented devices that. when attached tS,- th. boiler, will automatically make large savings without the effort of the fire. man or the engineer Many patented fucl-saving devices have elements of merit but they must have careful. intelligent attention to do good work.
 Whcn plant uses $50 to $lOO worth of coal day. efforts to save ten per cent of it will pay. The days Of low-pric"d coals are gone. probably never to return. But whether or not il pays in dollars and cents. 1t is plainly up to the fireman to save. for what h" wastes may be depriying d munitions plant or some other essen. tial war industry of the coal needed to help win the war. g
 'Owners of power plants, engineers and tremen may obtain complete de. tails of how this fuel may be saved by applying to the bureau of mines" "

Liahtnina Breaks Dish.

During a thunderstorm in New
York state surprise and wonder was
caused in a certain home by an I'M
usual accident that accompanied a
sharp bolt of lightning. The latter
struck very close to the house in ques-
ton, causing the telephone to SNAP"
so that those in the room heard it dis
tinctly. Following this report a glass
dish containing some steel beads,
standing on a table about twelve feet
from the telephone, broke into pieces,
scattering the beads on the floor. The
apparent explanation for the phenom-
non is that when the lightning caused
the spark at the telephone there was
a discharge of electricity into the room
and that the beads, being of polished
steel with numerous sharp edges, Of
fered a path of least resistance TO the
discharge, which, seeking a ground,
burst the dish.

Wireless to Detect u.Roats.

To assist naval airmen in detecting
the presence, and then determining
the position of enemy submarines, a
delicate instrument of considerable
ingenuity has been produced, OBJ
r a writer. An adequate concep-
ton of its character is afforded with
out necessarily discussing it's techni-
cal details, which for obvious reasons
are withheld. Roughly, it consists of
a compact buoy that carries a receiver
which converts the sound waves from
a submarines propeller into electrical
energy. When thrown overheard by
an airman, it floats on the surface of
the water. Upon the approach of a
submarine within a certain radius of
it, the antenna attached to the buoy
sends out wireless signals which are
in turn picked up by receiving instru-
ments installed on the aircraft. The
presence of a boat within this area is
thus announced. Its general position
in relation to the buoy, as well as its
movements are indicated by the in
tensity of the signals.

attended a short while ago.

there 1 seemed to recognize a bar or
two.
presently, consumed by curiosity, 1
leaned over and asked my hostess the
name of the piece.
"She looked at me in surprise for
some seconds; then said, somewhat

thought, but 1 kept my opinion to my

had been put in upside down, with the
result that the piano had played the
fugue backwards"

USED STRING TO STIR ANGER
Irvine Swung In Air, London Busman
Explained Indicated other Cab
by's Brother Was Hanged.

The conversation turned on the
wonderful pungency and power Of in-
vective of the old-time London cabby
as narrated by Charles Dickens In
"Pickwick Papers" and by other au-
thors of that and a subsequent time.
"a few years ago." said DR.. John III.
Oliver, in the Indianapolis News, 81
paid my second visit to London. The
cabby and his horse had passed away.
The h%orse-drawn omnibus was no
more, the petrol-driven bus having
taken its place. / told q Briton whom
/ met over there that 1 liked to sit on
the outside next the driver, that I
found him a most interesting charac-
ter.

ance, but he is not at all us interesting
as his predecessor of the old fashion.
1 was seated beside one Of these old
time drivers going through a street
crowded with vehicles when a bus
coming from the opposite direction
was in collision with our bus. The
wheels of the two locked and then the

two drivers began. 1t was the perfect
flower, yes, the full fruitage 1 thought
Of profanity and abuse.
"'But 1 was mistaken. There was
more and worse to come. When the
wheels had become unlocked and we
were slowly moving away, my friend,
the driver, drew from his pocket a bit
Of string and holding it above his
head swung it slowly to and fro.
"'The other driver at once jumped
down from his bus and, whip In hand,
struck at the string-shaker. The wealth
of epithet he then used showed that all
that had preceded it was as mild and
kindly as the softest baby chatter. Our
driver answered not a word, but as he
drove slowly on continued the string
shaking.
"I wondered what there could be in
this simple bit of dumb-show to make
the other busman so frantically angry.
Then my driver gave the explanation:

War Curbs Suicide.

Sir Bernard Mullet, registrar gen.
eral Of the British empire, announced
recently that suicide had fallen off
strikingly in England since the begin
ming of the war. The explanation is
that the national unity of feeling, the
subordination of self and the sharing
of sympathy on all sides makes the in
dlvidual's personal injuries less i'm
portant and induces him to forget his
own desperation. Personal indulgences
and excesses of immortality, causes Of
insanity and melancholia, are curbed
and minimized naturally by the econ
omles enforced upon the populace.
Discipline in eating, dressing, working
has also a beneficial effect in keeping
the mind sane and free from morbid
broodlngs.

Another Puzzle,

SIS 1t possible for a person to say
something that will be a lie if 1t is
true?"
"Yes. If q liar should say Il never
told the truth in my life,' it would be
a lie If it was true"
"How so?"
Because that statement would be
n instance Of his telling the truth,
and thus it would be false on the face
Of 1t. And If he should say the exact
opposite, that would of course be a
lie, too. But leave that supposition
out of the question, for it may confuse
you. Just remember this-that If a
fellow says he never told the truth,
he must be lying"
"But If he's lying, then he's telling
the truth, because his statement would
merely be another lie. So his record
wouldn't be broken after ALL"
eyes, that's true, too. You see, that
proves that it's impossible"

Church Gives Every Man.

There is a little French church in
the heart of Philadelphia which has
given and given to the great world
strife, ever since the wal began, life
blood and widows mites, and in the
face of poverty is still giving, giving,
according to a Philadelphia correspond
ent.
Not one man between seventeen and
fifty years old remains in the member
ship of the little church of st. Sauveur.
All are at the front, some are with
the French army, some are with the
United States forces, but all have gone.
All are fighting for the same great
world ideal.
They have left mothers, wives and
little ones who do not complain, but
give to the last penny, not only for
those they love, but for the relief of
all suffering.
Nearly all of them are working peo-
pie, but, in addition to the struggle
for bread and butter, they have found
the way to adopt and support four or
phans in France. In addition to the
incessant knitting and sewing for the
little war orphans here these brave
women have also found time to make
and send countless wooden comforts
and relief supplies to the war victims
In France and Belgium, the orphans
and the wounded. They also subscribed
to the starving Armenians.

Arrived Safely In France.

Two newspaper artists have been
occupying a studio in Gramercy Park
for five years. They came to New
York together and were a sort Of
Damon and Pythias combination, says
a New York correspondent.
One went into the naval reserves
and the other tried for aviation but
failed on account of his eyesight.
The other week the sailor boy
dropped in before breakfast. He said
he was going out for a little cruise
and the handclasp was a bit firmer
than usual as he said good-by.
A few mornings ago the artist at
home received this cablegram from
France: ARRIVED. Safe" His friend
on the other side. And when 1 saw
the artist at home he turned his
head and shook some suspicious
drops from his eyes. But he was
mighty proud.

reply:

Love-.

If love were the only heaven we shall
know,
I could not ask a fairer Paradise.
Nor forth with sunny laughter gladlier
go,
Beneath whatever dark or perfect skies.
For marble mansions of eternal light,
And golden streets and cities tourmaline.
With all their glossy beauty burning
bright,
Have not the lure of loves immortal
sheen.
And thus I toss the golden ladders down,
Turn from the gates, and take my way
with thee,
Oh, Love, that makes a heaven of the
town,
And brings the pale moon trembling DER
the sea.

Crop and DRUG Plants.

One of the projects outlined by the
committee on botany of the national
research council is the search for wild
plants which may be used as wartime
substitutes for the more costly crop
plants. During the Civil war DR.. John
Porcher, a Southerner, published a
book giving a list of plants Of the
South which could be substituted for
m~uch-needed food and drug plants. 1t
ls suggested that information might be
obtained from hunters, trappers,
woodsmen, farmers, Indians and the
foreigners, who pick up considerable
food from the countryside. Similar in
formation is desired concerning plants

A Brussels Joke.

What amounted to a practical joke
was played on the Germans by the Bel
gians in Brussels. The Germans an
nounced q grand concert of German
music at the opera house. A syndi-
cate of Belgian bankers and brokers
bought all the seats except m and
the royal box. General Baron Won Biss-
ing was delighted at this evidence that
the Belgians were not averse in times
of foreign occupation to listen to a
German concert. But on the night of
the concert not a single Belgian used
his ticket. When Won Kissing arrived
at the opera house it was empty save
for n solitary auditor, a German
landsturm soldier.
