SHALE ACCEPTABLE As FUEL
Satisfactorily Used Now In Esthonla,
IL May Be Taken Up by Other
Countries.

Railroads In Esthonia seem In fair
way to discard coal in favor Of btu
minOus shale, a substance common
enough In geological formations to
make the Esthonian experiment widely
Interesting. Lacking coal, the Estho-
MAN provisional government has been
investigating the possibilities Of shale,
and, as the report comes by way Of
Helsingfors, shale Is now being used
for good many purposes. The gas
factory at Reval, for example, is using
shale exclusively for making gas But,
SO far, shale has not been adopted
as fuel, and wood is being burned
In the fre-boxes. The factory prob
ably waits to see how completely shale
can be used to run railway trains,
and the railway factory in Reyal Is
now experimenting with fre;bo1es
suitable to using shale in locomotive
That 1t can be successfully used. how
ever, seems to have been proved. Cost
Is strong argument for the use Of
shale, and 3 marks for a pood, or
some 30 or 40 pounds, of shale, as
against 80 marks for the same meas
ure of coal makes it very much cheap
er. 1t would be odd, but not impos-
sible. If later events should show that
In using shale for fuel the lttleknown
country Of Esthonia is leading the
world.

MAKES NEW USE OF ECHOES
Inventors Idea May Do Away With
the Old Practice Known as
"Heaving the Lead"

An inventor In Oakland, Cal, has
found a new and practical use for
echoes, and as a result the time may
come when the practice Of "heaving
the lead" at sea will be known only
in historical novels and old maritime
history. The marimeter, as the new
device Is called. sends a sound FROM
the keel of the ship to the 3ttom Of
the sea the sound comes back as an
echo. and the journey, automatically
recorded on a diaphragm, is translated
into terms of length. The report shows
the depth Of water between keel an6
bottom. calculated from the known
speed Of the sound-wave in salt water,
snd the knowledge may be acquired at
the rate OF four soundings a minute,
which Is very much faster than by the
older methods The marimeter, to be
sure, has only recently gone to sea,
II indeed the steamer Governor. which
will carry the first of them, has yet
left dry dock in Seattle, Wash. But
the instrument promises to add ma
ter;al,y to the security of ocean trat.

TolH of the Famous.

In his book, THE End of the Chap
ter" Mr.. Shaw Leslie tells the follow
ing story:
"My grandfather witnessed an effec-
tive piece of play in the house of com
mons during a duel between Disraeli
and Gladstone. During a heated flight
of oratory Gladstone upset some pens
on the table between them. Disraeli
rose, and, after calling attention to
the fact, slowly replaced them one by
one. The effect of Gladstone's speech
was lost by the time Disraeli had fin
ished."
Speaking of Dickens and Thackeray,
Mr.. Leslie says:
my grandmother recalled the ludi-
crous incident which brought them to-
gether. AS they both left the Athe-
aaeum, unknown to each other they
seized the same hat. The effect was
ludicrous enough to appeal even to
professional humorists and they shook
hands"

FIRST PARLIAMENT IN 1859
FROM That Time Dates the Entry Of
the Commons Into Power In
the State.

The goth of January, 1865 was a
great day not only for the English
speaking people but the world; it was
the time appointed for the meeting of
me first parliament In England.
Mathew of Paris in his chronicles
HIST uses the word Al reference to a
COUNCIL OF the barons in 1916 but 1t
was in the year 1895, during a civil
wal which very much resembled that
OF the seventeenth century, being for
10" against an arbitrary power as ex
pressed by royalty, that the first par
harnt1lts. properly so-called, were as
sembled. 1t was at this time that
Simon de Montfort held King Henry
in his power.
inns parliament was summoned in
sucn q manner that there should be
TWO knlghts for each county. and two
cltlzens for every borough; the first
clear acknowledgment Of the commons
element in the state. The meeting was
held In that magnificent hall at West

commons sat in the same place with
their noble associates. probably at the
Doftom OF the hall. little disposed to
assert controlling voice nor joining

"Busin ess" and Social Life.

Each business person has a self that
assumes direction and control during
office hours and should have quite @
distinct and separate self for after
business hours. The moment the lid
Of the office desk is down he ought
70 change automatically into his 80
cial" self and let his business self have
a complete rest until the lid Of his
desk is raised the next morning. In
that way the self that must be so
keenly alert, that must concentrate so
surely during the day, can sleep for
eighteen hours out of every twenty
four.
The person who has mastered the
secret of thus alternating his mental
currents can stand enormous strain,
carry heavy burdens and overcome IN
told resistance without being in the
slightest danger of a nervous break

Science and Soap Bubbles.

Sir James Dewar. the English pro-
fessor of chemistry. who has made
soap bubbles which he kept intact for
more than year, says that when a
soap bubble becomes very old say in
three or four days, it offers the only
possible example Of the molecule Wis
ible to the naked eye. In the soap
bubble ordinarily there are about 100
layers of molecules, but scientific treat
ment has produced black spots in
which there is only single layer, so
thin that Sir James estims ties that 1t

Fair Offers Big
To-Day Program

Rlchmond.-The magnitude of the
1920 Virginia State Fair has forced the
directors to extend the duration Of the
exposition from one week to ten days,

invested in premiums and attractions
and the extensive program arranged
1t being impossible to present all of
the features in the customary six
Lays. The extended time will give
everybody in the State an opportunity
to visit the Fair and the program has
been so arranged that, no matter on
what days one decides to come. the
big exposition viii be seen in full

Following is the daily program:
Monday, Oct. +Openine Day.

Wednesday, Oct. IS and Thursday,
Oct. 14-Automobiie Days.
There Will be something doing in
every section of the big Fair grounds,
every minute Of every day, and the
program is SO arranged that it will be
