The enterprises Of one motorcar
manufacturer extend even to the own
ershlp OF mines In West Virginia,
from which he digs coal for his motor
car factory.
In the plant at River Rouge, Mich,
eight enormous boilers are being in

pulverized coal and gas simultaneous
ly. This Will be accomplished by FIR
Ing the coal vertically from the top
and injecting the gas horizontally
through the side OF the furnace, the
coal flame and gus flame uniting at
the proper point for greatest efficiency.
These furnaces will burn 1000 tons
OF coal per day, and from the time
the coal leaves the mines In West vir-
glnia until It's residue is carried away
as ashes, II viii not be touched by hu.
man hands. All requisite operations

True Traohoma Easily transmitted.

At n recent meeting Of the Ameri.

Mullin, surgeon, U. s. Public Health
service, started lively debate In the
section on preventive medicine by
reading a paper In which he asserted
that much OF the so-called trachoma
which afflicted the eyes Of American
children is not trachoma and not con.
taglous.
The original cause OF this lnflamma
.tion Of the eyellds Is unknown. but
II is known with certainty that II Is
transmitted with ease from one eve 10
another. There is another type, called
folllculitis, which is not contagious

ment; and, even with this, II Is by
no means certain that II Is ever per.

improved Lighting system.

The advantages of electric lamps
that can be moved about from one
place to another may now be consld-
cred In installing the lighting system
In the home or elsewhere. The new
system requires no cord connection,
but a novel type OF plug. to be used
with a special outlet, gives PORTABLE
ity not only to the lamp bulb, hut
to the entire fixture. The outlets are
located In the parts Of the room or es-
tabllshment where occasional as well
as permanent lighting may be desir-
able. The plug has curved blades in
stead Of the ordinary straight ones,
and Is easily attached to any fixture.
The outlet has two parallel slots in
n rounded triangular center. As the
plug Is inserted with the curved blades
pointing upward, electrical and me
chanlcnl connection are formed, and
the heaviest household fixture is safe
ly supported. The outlet VIII also re-

simply necessary to lift the fixture
from It's old location and plug II Into

BRIDE oBScUREs THE GROOM
Louisiana Court Has solemnly Held
That the Man Does Not Attract
Any Attention.

II is at last judlcially determined
that the groom at a wedding is merely
a necessary incident, accessory, or
piece Of furniture. The bride Is the
whole cast. In q divorce action In
Louisiana, In which defendant denied
he was the man who had married
plaintiff, and his identity with the
bridegroom was In issue, the court
says:
"The only evidence introduced by
the defendant In support of his de-
NAL that II was he who married plain
tiff in Indianapolis on October o,
1911, was the testimony Of the Pro
bate Judge who performed the cere-
mony and that OF the proprietor Of the
Imperial hotel. The Probate judge
and the proprietor OF the Imperial
hotel both testified that they had ldcn-
tilted the plaintiff as soon as she had
spoken TO sthem when they stepped
of the train In New Orleans; and
from that circumstance, counsel for
defendant argue that the Probate
judge and the proprietor of the hotel
would surely have been able TO identi-
~ the defendant II he were the In
dlvldual to whom plaintiff was mar
ried by the Judge In presence OF the
hotel proprietor. We do not think So
With due respect for his honor the
Probate judge, and for the proprietor
Of the Imperial hotel, II may be that
the bride attracted more attention
than the groom" - From Vests

LOOK FOR IMPORTANT FINDS
AreheolooIsts Believed on Verge Of
Great Discoveries In Districts
Of Central America.

Important medical and economical
discoveries that will be of great value
to the modern life OF the peoples OF
the world are on the verge OF being
made at the present time I'm several
districts OF Central America by Ameri-
can psychologists.
This prophecy was made by Prof
William Gates, president Of the Maya
society, in an address delivered at the
meeting, at Johns Hopkins university,
Of the Archaeological Institute Of
America, the Pathological association
and the Maya society.
Prof. Gates brought forth in his
talk the fact that in Central America
there has recently been discovered the
evidences OF an ancient race of peo-
pie, with civilization as old and as
cultured as that of the ancient Egyp-
tlnns.
The plans of an eminent group OF
American Psychologists for further ex-
ploratlon of the remains of this
ancient race were dwelt on by the
speaker. These workers, he declared,
hold forth the promise to- the Ameri-
can people of new region, rich with
archaeological material, the surface Of
which has yet only been scratched.
Among the most important discover
les expected TO be made there are the
uncarthlng OF further native medical
works, some Of which are already In
the hapds Of the Mnyn society, that
will add valuable specific pharma-
copoeia and medical knowledge to that
