The Marquis Roland was killed

the present duke, her eldest son, be-
came in reality the master of the

Vast Wealth in Liberia.

The Sun and New York Herald a few weeks ago was probably the first newspaper in our country to announce that Liberia, in West Africa, had just come into view as very rich in natural resources, both agricultural and min eral. It is nearly as large as the state of New York, fronts on the Atlantic for about 300 miles and it's coast belt Is only about twenty miles wide. North of the coast belt the whole country is vast forest, through which Sir Alfred Sharpe of England has recently penetrated. He has in- formed the Royal Geographical so- ciety of the enormous population of this, till now, unknown forest land and of the unexpected resources, in- cluding gold and other minerals, that await development there.

LARGEST POWER HOUSE BOILERS
 IN THE WORLD

The largest power house boilers in the world are now being installed in one of the Ford Motor Company's Detroit plants. To demonstrate just how big they really are, eight full grown Ford cars were driven into one of them recently.
 The cars were lined up just out side the building, then, one at time, they were driven inside, caught up in a rope sling, hoisted to the second floor and driven into the huge boiler. Each boiler is enclosed in brick set tings, with specially designed furnac- es for burning pulverized coal. This in itself is new feature in this kind of boiler. While some experiments have been made with pulverized coal, yet, no boiler has ever before been specially constructed to use it. But Henry Ford departs easily from pre- cedent in power producing plants, and once satisfied that pulverized coal is practical, he ordered special equip ment designed and built for the new Power House.
 The boiler furnace will consume eighteen tons of coal an hour. The coal, which is ground so fine that it passes through an unusuallye fin screen, is fed into the furnace from near the top. Inside, it is caught up by an air current which keeps it in circulation, and it is burned while in suspension. It touches neither the sides nor the bottom oil the furnace, until as ashes it drops underneath into an ash pit.
 From the time the coal for these boilers leaves the Ford mines in West Virginia and Kentucky until it is car ried away as ashes it is never hand led by hand. All of the operations are handled mechanically-dumping, pulverizing, carrying to the bins, stoking, even to carrying the ashes away in small dummy cars.
 A battery of eight of these huge boilers is being builta one is already completed and operating successfully.

New Method of Identification,

Not only are the finger prints of ev' cry human being different but the po sition of the bones of the fingers, and also the shape of the nails are differ. ent. Doctor Beclere, a well-known stu. dent of radiography, utilizes this fact In new method for identifying crimi. nals. The method consists in making an X-ray photograph of the hand, showing the bones and the fingernails. Ordinarily such a photograph would not show the flesh, but in order that the record may be complete the fingers are soaked in an opaque salt by means of which all the lines and marks are clearly shown. Doctor Beclere considers that the possibility afforded by his discovery of keeping a record of nails as we'll as of finger prints should prove of the greatest use in identifying criminals.

Radio Control for AirpIanes.

There can be doubt that if the war had lasted few months longer we would have witnessed the leading ar mics employing great fleets of air planes controlled by radio means. The United States army had progressed pretty far along this line when the armistice was declared. The same can be said for Germany. Now we learn that the French have demon strated that five or six small and in- expensive bombing planes, without pi- lot can be successfully guided by a shepherd" in a larger plane through the means of Hertzian waves.-Scienti- fc American
