A Ballad of Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizab beth sat on her threshold
Before she had quite grown old,
The gown she wore was of scarlet satin
And her Golf was of silk and gold:
The Lord of Leicester knclt at her
And a lute-child played by her knee
1t was one of those hours that are
never forgotten.
And nothing to hear or see;
Lord Leicester talked of a day they re-
membered
When they were little together
Of young Queen Jane and a robe she
wore,
And the old Kings chain and feather;
The child with the lutte leaned close to
the Queen
And laid his head on her knee
To hear their stories of once on-a-tlme
When they were little as he.
And the Queen put hand on Lord
Leiccster'S shoulder
And hand on the lutte child's head,
Yet there was little she seemed to hear
OF the things they sang and said.
And the trumpets blew from under the
window.
And her face turned back to a Queens
again
And her eyes turned hard and wise.
And she said, II think I hear England
calling
That [ welded while I was fair,
And England is calling that is my
Child.'
And she went and left them there.
But Leicester was only a man after all,
And the boy was man-Child. too.
So the thing she was feigning before
she left them
! think they never knew.

BY-PRoDUcr COKE TESTS

The high efficiency of by-product
coke has been demonstrated by
tests recently made by the Bureau
of Mines at Washington, and in this
regard the Department of the Inter
ior calls attention to several facts
which should prove of general inter
est.
Tests conducted by the Bureau
at its Pittsburgh. and Minneapolis
experiment stations with different
types of steam boilers suitable for
heating seven or eight room houses
recorded as high efficiencies> with by
product coke as with anthracite.
The efiiciencics obtained with Pitts
burgh and Illinois bituminous coal
were eight to twenty per cent. lower
than those obtained with coke.
The anthracite used in these tests
was a mixture of egg and nut sizes
and was considerably cleaner than
that ordinarily obtained in the Pitts
hurgh market. The hy-product coke
tested at Pittsburgh was a domestic
size. made from mixture of several
Goals from the klondike region near
that city. The by-product coke
tested at Minneapolis was of
domestic size and made from eastern
coal.
With the same attention to the fire.
the Bureau of Mines found that coke
,ives much more uniform tempera-
.ure than bituminous coal. In addi-
ton. coke is a clean fuel and makes
neither smoke nor SCOT an advantage
difficult to express in exact figures.
1t Is nearly as good a fuel as the
domestic sizes of anthracite, and if
anthracite should be unavailable at
reasonable prices a by-product coke
would make good substitute.
Domestic fuel should preferably be
clean and smokeless. and should
keep the house at an even tempera-
ture, with little attention to the fire.
Anthracite suitably sized possesses
these properties to a large degree
and has been used for this purpose
for long time particularly near the
anthracite mines. Many thckly
populated districts are so far from
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-08-11

these mines, however that anthracite
can be obtained only at high price,
and the bituminous coal that Is
available is not so clean and requires
more frequent attention to the fire
to maintain uniform temperature.
By-product coke, in small sizes, is
good substitute for anthracite. AS it
is made from bituminous coal, and
the bituminous coal beds are very
extensive, it seems possible eventu-
ally to provide smokeless fuel in the
form of by-product coke for practi-
cally the entire country.
BY burning coke for domestic heat
ing, more soft coal will be used in
by-product plants. which save many
valuable by-products that are
wasted when the coal is used direct
ly in the raw state. The by-prod-
ucts of popular interest obtained in
the coking process are gas, light
oils, ammonia and tai.
The results of the foregoing tests
are given in technical paper BIS, by
Henry Kreisinger, John BLIZZARD, H.
w. Jarrett, and J. j. McKitterick.

paper 242. giving detailed ipstruc-
tons as to the use of coke for do
mestic heating. may be obtained from

Little Jack Rabbit sat by the win
dow of his little white bungalow in
the Old Bramble Patch. 1t was
raining hard and the Sunny Meadow
wasn't the least bit sunny, no in
deed, it was quite misty and very
damp. The Bubbling Brook was
making great fuss as it rushed
along, sometimes overlooking its
banks and making little lakes in the
hollow spaces.
"Ker dunk, ker dunk" went

the Old Duck Pond. He didn't mind
the rain. His rubber coat kept him
nice and dry. AS for his feet. guess
he'd never outgrown, his boyhood's
delight to wade in bare feet.
Down from the Farmyard waddled
Duckey Waddles on his big. wide.
wabbly yellow feet. He loved the
wet weather. Oh my yes. Pretty
soon. he went in for a swim; now
and then and sometimes oftencr

he fished about for little minnOws.

His Camp Cronies Present
The vault stands ivy-wrapped and
set back into the gentle hill with
little space before it. So the fun
eral train was halted at a distance
and the casket lifted down to be
carried to resting place before
the open entrance of the tomb.
A group of senators, who knew
this dead President under the
capitol dome before he passed to
the White House were already
gathered in waiting, in line across
the roadway that runs before the
entrance. With them stood the
comrades Of camping days, Ford,
Edison and Firestone.
The cabinet family came to stand
closer. at the foot of the casket
with their new chief standing sor-
rowfully among them. The admir-
ais in cleaning white lined the way
to the left, with the little party of
intimates and friends who made
the Alaska journey that death broke
so suddenly.

Then she stepped forward on his

flag draped casket. hardly visible in
the dim vault. She halted but a
moment in this final farewell. then
turned to walk slowly down the
roadway to the waiting motorcar that
