Making Coke Suitable.
For Household Fue;

p ENDERING coke available for
heating purposes in domestic
stoves and hearths is a novel sugges-
ton. 1t has not hitherto been prac-
ticable to do this, because coke burns
too quickly and with too intense a
heat. Damage is also done to stoves
and hearths. The rapid combustion
calls also for more frequent replen-
ishipg Of the fire.
An Interesting method of overcom-
ing these difficulties and making coke
a suitable fuel has been worked out.
The coke, preferably of medium size.
is introduced into liquid mass which
contains, mixed in water. a mixture
of about thirty parts of coal dust and
twenty parts of. loan. The mass is
well stirred with the coal and is alb
sorbed greedily by the highly porous
coke, SO that all pores are filled with
this mixture. According to its size,
coke is left from twelve to twenty
four hours in this bath. and after IL
has been removed 1t is treated, with
a mass. also composed of coal-dust.
loan and water, but lesssliquid than
the other bath. The coal dust and
loan may be employed in equal parts
and may be mixed to a thick paste
with the thick sediment from the
previous bath. The coke is stirred
into this paste with shovel or by
the use of a revolving drum until
the mass has formed a complete coat
ing on the coke. The Jumps. after
they have been slightly dried. are
preferably powdered with pure coal
dust to improve their appearance.
The. dust introduced into the coke
by the bath and the coating is claim
ed to serve as a substiis:t.>n for the
fuel substances which have been re-
moved from. the coke. while the loan
or some other non-combustible earth
will prevent too rapid combustion.
The drying is preferably performed
in. the open air.

Queer Explosion.

A QUEER s,rt of an explosion OF .
\ small glass tube having walls
half a millimeter in thickness and
containing twenty-five :milligrams Of
the purest radium bromide was re-
ported by French physicist. The
tube. had been in use for eleven
months. At the time Of the explosion
it had Just been removed from a bath
of liquid afr. A loud report accom-
panied the explosion. which occurred
in dark room. and the glass was
scattered all through the room in al
most microscopic particles. and the
scattered radium shown in the dark
ness like a starry sky. 1t was cal
culated that the pressure In the tube
must have been equal to at least
twenty atmospheres. and II lis sup
posed to have been due to the evolu-
ton OF gaseous decomposition prod
ucts from the radfum.

quick Italian way.
Eyes. am sorry to be impolite,

piqued. "Soon you will regret that
you did not negotiate, I assure you.

One point was certain-the trio
were absolutely confident that their

7\O the editor: l don't suppose
they's one man in million that
is satisfied with their job but
everybody is always wishing
they was somebody else or had some
body elses job or something. That is
the reason so many correspondent
schools makes big money because
when the average man reads in the
ads that he can triple his earnings
but cut down his work to almost
nothing by taking a 6 mos. course of
study by mail. why he won't loose no
time subscribing to the course.
Well friends they certainly can't

and 10 matter what they say ball
them out and explain why.
Like for inst. suppose Mr. Skull has
got spades with ,honors and tie
ace and king of hearts and small
clubs and no diamonds.
Well say they all agree that they
would bid it 3 or spades. Then you
call them a name and tell them under
the modern school Of bidding the right
bid would be four or five diamonds
because the opponents in this way is
libel to have all the trumps and when
they have led them out. your spades is
good. whereas If spades was trumps
they would be good anyway, but no
good for suit.
This is the whole secret of teaching

"cTRANGE that she should win each

Then, laughing. I added: well. let
them continue. They will come to
ruin sooner or later. To win always
is, as you know, quite impossible.
Those who break the bank return
again and give US back all they have
taken-with one or two exceptions"
"Darnborough took 10000 pounds
from us not long ago." he remarked.
"Tfue. A lucky chance. But this
young woman will soon pay us back
all she has taken-and more. Never

I went home that night quite con-
fident that the trio were doomed in
the long run to utter ruin.
My disillusien, however, came
quickly.
Next day at the same. table and
never losing a sou, they won 10000
pounds sterling, all of which. before
banking hours, they placed in the

Before doing so they smiled at the
