How to start Coal Fire.

Although coal fire always burns
Better, especially at the start, when
lighted from the bottom, it has been
found to be much more economical of
zeal II the paper and kindling wood
are placed above the coal, says Popu-
Tar Mechanics Magazine. A few small
Goals and cinders are spread over the
top Of the kindling wood to enable a
coal fire to be started. After the top
layer begins to burn properly, the fire
win spread slowly downward, If the air
draft Is right. This method secures the
most complete combustion because the
gases from the unburned coal at the
bottom must pass through the burning
layer at the top, and thus become COM
pietely burned. 1t Is admittedly hard
er to build and control this kind of
FIRE, but the saving In fuel often justi-
3es the extra trouble.

NATIONAL HEROES OF FRANCE
laxare Hoche and Ferdinand Foch
Are Names to Be Forever Held
In Grateful Memory.

Marshal Foch Is taking particular
satisfaction at this time Of the con-
summation Of a great victory to pay
homage to the fame of Lazare Hoche.
the famous young general who escaped
the Revolutionary guillotine eventual
ly to command that army Of the Sam
bre-et-Meuse which, though at first
disorganized, badly fed and badly
equipped. performed the brilliant seven
months campaign which established
the reputation of French arms on both
sides Of the Rhine. To this day. at
Weissenthurm stands a monument to
It's memory and that Of its brilliant
young chief. No wonder Marshal Foch
takes pleasure In recalling Lazare
Hoche to his countrymen. OF Hoche
1t Is said that he once proudly wrote
to the minister for war of his day,
"Je suis la patrie." The French Of
the present century would throw up
their hats at such a sentiment as en-
Enthusiastically as the contemporaries Of
Hoche and Rouget de Lisle. With the
great mass of them, though they do
not perhaps express II so tersely, Foch
is 'la patrie" In the sense that he GER

IN DEFENSE OF OLD BELIEF
Now Explosions Produce Rainfall 10
Explained by Eminent English
MeteoroiooIst.

Belief In the influence of explosions
In producing rainfall is persistent, de-
spite contrary evidence brought out
by meteorologists. Recent support for
the view has been noted by William f.
A. Ellison, and he contends in the
English Mechanic that the tOrrential
rains that have visited southeastern
England during the last few years
have been directly due to the gunfire
Of the war. A spring of drouth has
followed the signing Of the -armistice.
Clouds following airplanes have been
Htely observed In clear weather, and
Mr. Ellison argues that the true ex-
PLANTATION is not the churning Of the
sir by the propeller, but the discharge
into dust free saturated atmosphere
of minute solid particles Of carbon,
which become nuclei for the condensa-
hon Of the moisture. The same thing
las been noticed In the clouds drift
ing away from tall chimneys, although
the visible smoke ceased near the
chimney tops. In the absence Of water
vapor no amount of gunfire can pro-
auce rain, but the English climate
usually supplies the saturated atmos-
pierre, and the explosions and the fine
Gust particles, 1t is declared, add just
the meteorological balance, causing
necessary con iltions to upset the pre-
eipitation.

How Bamboo Needle. Are Made.

The operation Of making bamboo
needle for the monograph is a rather
prolonged and intricate one, for the
wood must pass through several oper-
Rtfons before 1t becomes suitable for
the purpose. The hard point of the
needle is formed from the enameled
eortical surface of the cane. The poles,
20 feet long and from 2 to 31s inches
In diameter, carefully selected. are
sawed into pieces about an inch
long and split into prism-shaped
blanks for needles. To force out
the sap and replace It with oil
md wax in the myriad cells Of the
zane the bits are put in drip kettles
and lowered into watts laden with an
ely mixture at $40 degrees f.. where
they remain forty hours. Then they
go into tumbllng barrels containing
hardwood sawdust. where they get
cooled and polished.

HOW GAS. OIL. STEAM
NV ARE COMBINED IN

LATEST TYPE OF ENGINE.
The London Times Of May n
reports the Invention by an Eng
lishman of a new form Of prime
mover, consisting of combined
internal combustion (gas or oil)
and steam engine. With the or
binary gas or oil engine one of
the greatest mechanical prob
lens Is the removal Of the heat
generated by the combustion of
the fuel, and In the majority Of
cases this heat Is lost or wasted,
In the sense that II Is not con-
verted into useful work.
In the new invention arrange
ments are made to utilize the
waste heat for the generation
Of steam; and the piston. after
being driven In one direction by
gas or oil, is driven In the other
by steam. BY this means the In
ventor hopes to increase the
fuel efficiency at least 20 per
cent, and to increase the elas-
tfcity Of the engine by storing
steam In a reservoir so as to
sustain for a short time a large
overload which would ordinarily
stop the engine.
