LISTEN TO AMBITIONS VOICE
Desirable Companion May Fail to Call
Again If She Is Not Accorded
Recognition.

Most young people seem to think
that ambition is a quality that is born
in one and which cannot be materially
changed, but the greatest ambition may
be materially injured in many differ
emf ways. The habit of procrastina
ton, of postponing. the habit of pick
ing out the easier tasks and putting
off the difficult ones, for example. will
very seriously impair the ambition.
Whatever affects the ideals affects the
ambition.
Ambition often begins very early to
knock for recognition. If we do not
heed its voice. if it gets no encourage
ment after appealing to us for years
it gradually ceases to trouble us, be
cause, like any other unused quality or
function. it deteriorates or disappears
when unused.
Be careful how you discourage or
refuse to heed that inner voice which
commands you to go forward, for il
you do it will become less and less in
sistent until finally it will cease to
prod yoa and when ambition is dead
deterioration has set in.-From "Amb'
ton and Success" by 0rison SWEET
Marden.

How to Start Coal Fire.

Although a coal fire always burns
better. especially at the start, when
lighted from the bottom, it has been
found to be much more economical of
coal if the paper and kindling wood
are placed above the COAL says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine A few small
Goals and einders 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
will 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 tbeetop, and thus become com
pleteiy burned. 1t is admittedly hard
er to build and control this kind of
fire, but the saving in fuel often justi-
fees the extra trouble.

"sread Cast Upon the Waters" she
Said SmiIingly.

rain was pouring outside and the
girl across the hall let tantalizing
odors escape her doorway. Suddenly
he determined TO ask her for cream to
go with his coffee.
AS he went swinging through his
doorway he almost collided with
Lydia, who stood just outside blush
iEgly offering him tray containing a
generous share of her good dinner.
BREAD cast upon the waters" she
said smilingly. "and the cranberries
YOU cast back into the bag have. re-
turned to you. / just couldn't bear
not to share my Thanksgiving dinner
with some one;" there was a tremu-
lous catch in her voice. "And you
seemed TO be as alone as I; will you
take this?' timidly.
'You are unspeakably kind" said
the young man, as he took the tray.
'And wonderful cook besides" lnhal-
ing the odor of the tempting food. 81
was coming over to ask you for some
cream on the chance that you'd be
neighborly, but didn't dream of such
neighborliness as this
Lydia caught the yearning glance
in his eyes as he looked through her
open doorway at the daintily set table,
and as she returned to that table there
were tears of gratitude in her own
eyes at the thought of having at least
shared some of her Thanksgiving with
another.
As for the young man across the
hall, he. did some hard thinking as he
ate his lonely dinner. The drift of his
thinking was discernible afterward z:
his muttered remarks as he stood with
his hands in his pockets and staled out
through the rain-rippled window at the
reflection of the lights in the shiny wet
street below.
"The way to a mans heart may be
through his stomach" he said. ''rm
not so sure of that; but the way to
cure a taste for lone living is to try
it when you have neighbor as charm
ing as mine. I'm thankful / tried it,
but I'm quite convinced of its folly.
And now TO convince my neighbor!"
And subsequently he succeeded in
convincing her.

IN DEFENSE OF OLD BELIEF
How Explosions Produce Rainfall Is
Explained by Eminent English
Meteorologist.

Belief in the influence of explosions
in producing rainfall is persistent, de-
spite contrary evidence brought out
by meteoroIogists. Recent support for
the view has been noted by William f.
A. Ellison, and he contends in the
English Mechanic that the torrentiaI
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
lately observed in clear weather. and
Mr. Ellison argues that the true ex-
PLANTATION is not the churning of the
air by the propeller but the discharge
into dust free saturated atmosphere
Of minute solid particles of carbon,
which become nuclei for the condensa-
ton of the moisture The same thing
aas been noticed in the clouds drift
ing away from tail chimneys, although
the visible smoke ceased near the
chimney tops. In the absence of wafer

The operation of making bamboo
needle for the monograph is a rather
prolonged and intricate one. for the
wood must pass through several oper-

the purpose. The hard point of the
needle is formed from the enameled
cortical surface of the cane. The poles,
20 feet long and from to 312 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

HOW GAS. OIL. STEAM
49, ARE CONFIRMED IN
LATEST TYPE or ENGINE.
The London Times of May 27
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
cafes this heat Is lost or wasted,
in the sense that 1t is not con-
vefted into useful work.
In the new invention arrange
ments are made to utilize the
waste heat for the genera ton
Of steam; and the piston, after
being driven in one direction by
gas or oil, is driven in the other
nv steam. BY this means the in
ventcr hopes to increase the
fuel efficiency at least 20 per
cent, and to increase the elias

steam In reservoir so as to
sustain for a short time a large
overload which would ordinarily
stop the engine.
