There are still large quantities Of
timber in the United States, the re-

what is left lies west of the Great

There were falls which were oppo-

were In the shape Of horseshoe. All
about them were icicles and they

gray day to wild gray green color
while on the bright days wore beau
tiful shade of blue green.
The Fairy Queen and the other fair
ies stood up on an Ice mountain which
looked up at the greatest of all the
waterfalls, and the Fairy Queen said :
"Old Man Winter, have seen the
buds come out In the spring, and ]
have seen the flowers appear. I've
seen the soft green moss and the new
ferns and the lovely green grass. I've
seen the splendor Of midsummer. and
I've seen the glory Of autumn.
"But never have I seen anything
more wonderful than the work Win
ter has done here, whether on the
fine days when the beauty almost daz-
zles me. or on the stormy days when
the beauty is so wild and wonderful.
'I've never seen anything to equal
this"
And Old Man Winter smiled and
his smile was like breath Of fresh
cold air.
"rm glad you like some of the work
we do. We get good deal Of abuse,
but we do try TO give a great deal Of
beauty to the world. We're glad that
you think we have!"

TEST FOR INDUCTION COIL
Simple Way to Find Out " the Sec
ondary Winding Is In Good
Condition.

To test the secondary winding Of
an induction coil connect volt meter
and a slx-volt storage battery to the
secondary terminals. The voltmeter
should be connected in series, that Is,
break the wire leading from battery
to coil and attach each terminal Of
the yoltmeter to an end of the wire
that is broken. If the current will
not flow from the battery the winding
is open. II the winding is In good
condition the voltmeter will show a
reading of half the storage battery
voltage.

CARBON MONOXID

GRADUAL INCREASE IN DEATHS
Running Of Motorcar In Closed Garage

Dangerous Practice, Accord
ING to Scientists.

With the onset Of cold weather
comes the open season for fatalities
resulting from carbon monoxid poison
ing by inhalation of the exhaust gas
Of automobile engines running In small,
closed garages. says the Journal of
the American Medical Association.
The last few years have seen grad
ual increase in deaths resulting from
this peculiar combination of circum-
stances. Cases have been reported
which involve inhalation Of gas from
bathroom heaters as well as from both
gasoline launches and automobile en-
gines.
Person Quickly Overcome.
The gas responsible, carbon mon
oxid, is one which quickly overcomes
persons exposed to IL above certain
concentrations, so that II has been i'm
portant to determine the limits neces-
sary to cause fatality. In an endeavor
to determine this necessary concentra-
tlon and exposure, Prof. Yandell Hen
derson, with the aid of a number of
colleagues, carried on some studies
preliminary TO the problems Of ventila-
tlon involved in the proposed vehicu-
lar tunnel under the Hudson river.
Among other conclusions reached by
the experimenters, the most important
was the determination that, when the
time of exposure In hours multiplied
by the concentration of carbon mon
| oxid In parts per 10000 of air equals
three, there is no perceptible physl-
| ologic effect. When II equals six, there
is just perceptible effect; when 1t
equals nine, headache and nausea are
Induced; when 1t equals 10 or more,
the conditions are dangerous to life.
If motorcar should give off one cubic
foot of carbon monoxid per minute In
a closed room 10 by 10 by 20 feet, the
atmosphere would reach the dangerous
concentration Of Is parts In 10000 In
three minutes.

BOY KILLED BY FORD CAR
Louis Ham Loses His Life in Acct
dent Near School.

Louis Ham, 8 years old, the only
son of Mr.. and Mrs Walter Ham. 1416
Madison street, was fatally injured
about O'Clock Thursday afternoon
when he was struck by a Ford car
driven by Gerald Puffer, a salesman
for the Trefry Motor company. He
died on the way to the hospital a few
moments later, as the result of a frac-
tured skull.
The accident occurred at Madison
and East Fifteenth streets. The boy
was on his way home from Van Buren,
school. He is said to have leaped
from a bread wagon into the road in
front of the approaching Ford. Puff
fer applied his brakes so suddenly that
he slid the rear wheels for some dis
tance but it was too late.
Louis had been out of school since
Christmas as the result of operations
for the removal of his tonsils and
adenoids Thursday was his first day
in school since Christmas. His father
works in the carpenter shop of the
Topeka Railway company and his
mother in the bakery department of
william Green & Son.
In the Ford with Puffer were T.
N. Virgins, of the Palace Clothing
company; c. Campbell, of the Throop
hotel, and Ray Beers of the Fashion
shop. All claimed chat the Ford was
being driven slowly and that the ac-
cident was unavoidable. Two other
witnesses of the accident said the car
was not travelling at a rapid speed.
Dr. H L. Clark, county coroner,
said no inquest will be held.
