HOW CHARCOAL IS MADE
Method OF Burning ls Much the
Same, No Matter Where the
Process Is Carried On.

The usual method Of making or
burning" charcoal is to build up a
cone-shaped pile Of wood, about twelve
feet in height and ten to forty feet In
Misunderstanding a central hole or
chimney; then to burn it from above
downward, and from the outside in
ward. The trees are cut down in
winter and should be fairly dry. The
wood is built up with the bark out
ward, the largest places being placed
furthest inside, and a covering of
turf. or of charcoal dust and soil, is
placed over the whole, leaving holes
at the sides of the bottom for air.
The first three or four days bring out
the moisture onto the cover. The
openings around the base are then
covered, and holes are made about
halfway up. When the smoke ceases
to issue from these, they are closed
and other holes are made below. Tar
products which collect when the
charcoal is nearly burned, are re-
moved by means Of pipes or CUTTERS
When the air-holes cease to omit
flame and smoke they are covered
and the pile is allowed to cool for
two or three days Then the charcoal
Is drawn" and any pieces still burn
ing are quenched with water or sand.

CHRISTMAS TREES WILL LAST
Little Danger That In Years to Come
the Children Will Be De-
prived Of Joy.

DON'T Join any gloom group that may
De trying to form society for the pre-
Ventlon of cruelty to Christmas trees,
ADVISES a writer ia the Kansas City
Star.
Inc forests are there to be used, and
II, as we utilize the trees, we make it
possible by replanting for our children
and our children's children to have
trees, there is no reason Tor not having
Christmas trees as well as all the lum-
Der we need.
That is the way the scientific for
ester, the man who grows trees like
the farmer grows wheat, looks at this
matter Of Christmas trees.
While there is still some regrettable
ruthless cutting OF spruce and fir for
the Christmas tree market in northern
states, many Christmas trees are now
by-product of the forests. There are
small trees in every properly managed
Woodlot that must be sacrificed so
tnat the others may have room to
grow. These make fine Christmas
trees.
Christmas trees are also being
raised in nurseries. Baby spruce and
hr trees are planted by man so that
the babies and children of man can
have Christmas trees in their nurs-
cries. And Christmas tree is
usually between the ages of Eve and
ten years, just about the age Of phe
child who enjoys Christmas most. In
the future years, it is expected that
nearly all of our Christmas trees will
be raised by nurserymen from the
forests

The United States naval observatory
says: THE sun and moon seem larger
near the horizon because Of an optical
illusion. The horizon appears to be
more distant than the zenith because
the eye in looking toward the horizon,
rests upon many objects by the way.
The sun or moon near the horizon and
at the zenith is seen to be the same
object in both positions; but when
near the horizon, it seems larger
because the distance is apparently
greater, the mind unconsciously reason
ing that being so much farther away,
the sun or moon must be larger in
order to look the same.
''The moon at the horizon is really
about 1000 miles more distant from
the observer than when nearly over
head: and its apparent diameter, as
measured by an astronomical in
strument, is actually less by about one
sixtieth."

DON'T SWALLOW THEIR YOUNG

The yentral scales on a female snake

scents danger she contracts the muscle
On the back of her neck, which i'm

pie to think they take refuge in the
mother snakes stomach.
1t requires careful and skilled dis
section to detect the pouch, because
the skin shrinks when a snake is
killed. When the poison gland is re-
moved it tightens the skin under the
neck, and the youngsters can't get
into the pouch. In the female snake
between the pharynx and the gullet
there is a peculiar, ld-like valve,
and anything passing this valve can't

Weeds.

What hidden virtue is in these
things that it is granted them to SOW
themselves with the wind, and to
grapple the earth with this immiti-
gable stubbornness, and to flourish in
spite of obstacles, and never TO suffer
blight beneath any sun or shade, but
always to mock their enemies with
the same wicked luxuriance? 1t is
truly a mystery and also symbol
There is sort of sacredness about
them. Perhaps. If we could penetrate
natures secrets, we should find what
we call weeds are more essential to
the well being of the world than the
most precious fruit or grain. This
may be doubted. however, for there
is an unmistakable analogy between
these wicked weeds and the bad hab-
it's and sinful propensities which have
overrun the moral world; and we
may as we'll imagine that there is
good in one as in the other.-Haw.

DAMAGE DONE BY ICE STORM
Destruction Of Trees 10 ineomparabIy
the Worst Part Of the Whole
sale Devastation. 4

One Of the most distressing conse-
quences Of an ice storm is the IRE
parable damage done to trees. The
telephone and telegraph poles can be
replaced. Wires can be restrung.
Train and trolley schedules can be re.
stored. One and all these are mani.
mate things. But trees are living things
and can no more be restored without
lapse Of time than any other living
thing. 1t takes a generation to crow
fine tree, remarks a writer in the
Worcester Telegram. It takes a de-
cade to line a residential district
street with shade, second decade for
Shat shade to increase and become an
asset to the neighborhood third de-
cade sees the trees which have grown
up with the children become, instead
Of subsidiary attraction, the princi-
pal one in the neighborhood
Yet In single night the careful
solicitude, the care and nurture Of
the trees is destroyed. The great
limbs which residents have watched
grow for years, the towering tops
which twenty years before barely
came to the porch roof and which for
the last ten years have given grateful
shade through the summer and au-
tumn are broken, split and sundered
The thirty years have gone for
naught.
Other ephemeral things, such as
telephone service, trolley schedules
and trains will resume their accus-
toned routine within a day Or two
after the skies clear.
Only the shattered trunk Of the
trees untimely cut down by the ice
Will remain as reminder
1t takes a generation Of man to
grow a fine tree.

Air Mail Stamps.

Over forty varieties of specially de-
signed postage stamps for air mails
have already been published, much to
the joy of the philatelists. Italy has
the credit for the first air stamp which
was issued by the Italian postal au
thorities as long ago as 1917. The
United States. Canada, Newfoundland,
Sweden, Spain. Switzerland, Esthonia.
Colombia and the Belgian Congo have
all considered it desirable to issue spe-
cfal stamps to their peoples. Tunis
has even produced a second contribu
don. Needless to mention, Germany
and Hungary were early in the field,
rightly considering it an excellent
means of educating the public in the
practical side of aviation.
