Railroads Saving Coal.

Railroads are necessarily, large users
themselves of coal Something like %
per cent of all the coal mined goes into
the fire boxes of the locomotives. 1t is
evident then that any material saving in
railroad consumption becomes something
very worth while. Among the many pa
triotie organizations of war times of
which the general public knows little or
nothing, is the Railway Fuel association
which held congress in Chicago this
week, to devise ways for further conser-
walton of coal. From the many splendid
addresses at that meeting, the following
interesting high spots are selected:
Few consider that practically all the
freight and bunker coal which goes into
by rail, and the ships will from now on
rapidly increase in numbers. This throws
an ever-increasing tonnage on the rail
roads, to care for which enlsts the best
effort of every railroad man. The men
whose uniforms are overalls will do their
part as faithfully as the boys in khaki
The estimated coal consumption on the
railroads of this country, this year, is
| 1866, 100000 tons, costing $3.50, 900, OsO Prac-
tically all boilers scale from impurities
in the water, and deposit of only one
sixteenth of an inch increases fuel cost
10 per cent. Scale one-quarter inch thick
is common, and this increases fuel cost
60 per cent. Failure to properly wash
| locomotive boilers alone cost in fuel vast
ed last year $50,000,00O Figures for sta
tlonary boilers are not given, but the loss
there is in millions also. Firemen, engi-
neers, and owners can all help in reducing
i this great waste by better care of boilers
The necessity for keeping our general
industries busy is scarcely less than that
1 of the munitions works Here the fuel
/. cost is a little over one per cent of the
total cost of manufacture, but this one
per cent is vital Hence the mine which
i produces one ton extra, or the family
which saves one ton during the winter
has enabled the employment of 100 mer
one day.
How apparently insignificant economy
aggregates astounding totals is shown il
the statement that if locomotive firemer
will save only one shovelful per mile the
years saving will amount to over 10000
tons. This will provide factory fuel tc
keep 100000 employed for one year The
same responsibility to save rests on ev
cry user of coal, large or small.

How Huns crucified a Kitten.

All lovers of animals will shudder at
this part of Harvey johnson s story,
told in the August American Magazine.
johnson is 14-year-old boy who has
fought tower there and in telling of
his experiences, he says:
Talking about animals makes me
think of something / III never forget if
l live to be q hundred You We heard
what the Germans have done to men
and women, and even to babies. And
mebbe this won t seem much alongside
of those things. But-welll Somehow
1T seems to me the meanest piece of
devlltry grownup man could stoop to.
1t was down on the Somme, when
we were pushing the Germans back.
We came into ruined village close be-
hind them, and / saw a broken tree
trunk lying across pile of bricks. And
on that tree trunk was a kitten-and it
was crueified therel | guess you d call
it erucified. Three of its little paws
were fastened to the wood with bay-
onets. The fourth was hanging free
and the little thing was still mewing.
Oh, Gee! You know, you just looked at
that little kitten and you wanted to
cry! Of course / was a man and I did
not. But you don't know how that
made me feel. Can you think of men
doing q thing like thata I supposed
they figured that we'd believe they
were regular devils, and be afraid OF
them. They ain t got the right kind OF
sense. But you IL fight that kind of dew
il and wish you had a hundred hands
! to do it with. -
