PuIverized Coal.

With the commercial. advent of pull
verified coal many engineers who
made preliminary tests with the sub

never become an important factor in
power development At that time the
remarkable ability of the internal
combustion engine became known and
coal-power engines. as a whole, were
given but short period Of life In
vestigations have proved. however,
that coal as power factor will live
for many years to come at least in
this country. as the United States con
tains more than half the available
coal deposits Of the world.
Pulverized coal has one decided ad
vantage-t burns almost smokelessly.
Injecting the pulverized material into

simpler means also than with lump
coal Boiler repairs are less frequent
in factories using pulverized coal than
in those employing lump coal.

ODD FORM OF RESIGNATION
Acceptance of Official Position Auto
matically Elects Member From
British Parliament.

In the cases of Arthur Henderson's
and some other notable defeats in the
English parliamentary elections the
comment of English papers is to the
effect that, as Il matter of course, a
seat will be found for the person de-
feated.
This means that some generous and
supposedly important member of the
party who has been elected will re-
$ sign and that his constituency will be
kind enough to elect the defeated man.
The technical process of such pro-
ceeding is odd and. to an American,
amusing.
The elected member takes 1.-The
stewardship Of the Chiltern Hun
dreds.' That Is, he accepts a commits
sion as royal official for the district
once known as the Chltern Hundreds,
and, having done this, he can and
must resign his membership in parlia-
nent, as member cannot hold royal
commission of honor and profit.
Thereupon some one is elected in
his place, and he forthwith resigns
his appointment to the Chiltern Hun
dredS, an office which has no duties,
but nominal salary of 20 shilllngs,
which makes 1t place of honor and
profit and hence is inconsistent with
membership in the house. and the Of
flee is open for the next member who
wants to resign.-From the Outlook.

SHOWS SUPREMACY OF MAN
Single Blast of Dynamite Has Power
to Destroy What Nature Took
Centuries to Build.

The next time you pass one of the
excavations that are being made in
the solid rock here. there and every
where in New York these days for
foundations of new buildings. stop,
look and wonder, says the New York
Sun. Every foot Of rock that is de-
stroyed by these workers with pick
nature spent hundred years to make.
For Stratified rock forms at the
rate of about one foot in a century. SO
it follows that If you see an eXcava-
tion through stratified rock 80 feet
deep this means that within few
weeks time 5000 years of natures
labor has been destroyed through the
brain and Drawn of man.
This is one thing to wonder over
when looking at such an excavation.
But it is not all.
When this rock was being formed
man had not appeared on the earth.
Yet the earth in those dim ages OF
the past teemed with living creatures.
Creatures that, through the passing of
untold millions of years, developed
from weak invertebrates into huge,
weird monsters unlike anything known
today. They ruled the earth, the air
and the water. And part of their do
ninion was this region Of New York
where mans dominion Is now SUI
preme.
Some of these creatures. as they
walked over this region, stepped into
shallow water and left the imprint of
their footsteps in the mud. which, as
it hardened into rock preserved the i'm
print, perfect outline on the sur
face Of the stone. Others, sinking to
the bottom of deeper water that was
then where Is now dry land, We're
buried in the mud AS this mud turned
TO rock, their bones fossilized into the
water from the land and the streams,
settled to the bottom and, in its turn.
was hardened into stone. And SO,
layer on layer, rhe rock was formed
miles in depth As IL formed it i'm
prisoned and turned to fossils the
bones of many bizarre creature that
no nun ever saw, but whose likeness
and history may be found In these
records Of stone.
A blast of dynamite! The rock
falls shattered. Men lift the pieces
into containers. The great cranes, as
by magic, lift the containers and dump
the contents into the wagons waiting
above Who cares II the work of 80
centuries is destroyed? Soon this

COOPERATIVE CREAMERY.
(Farm Bureau News.)

If a cooperative creamery had
been supplied with necessary equip
ment to enable caring for cream.
produced from 500 cows or more
during 1922, in Hancock county, the
Bar Harbor market alone would have
left $11,370 more money for the
benefit of the producers for cream
used during June, July, August and
September, than was left. This
above mentioned amount of money
goes outside Hancock county from
Bar Harbor alone.
The following figures are used to
show what price could have been re-
ceived for cream on butter fat
basis if we had been equipped with
a cooperative creamery. Figures
supplied by Julien Emery, Salisbury
Cove, show that he used 548 gallons
of 40 per cent cream, costing him
$2.42 F. O. B. Newport. If this
cream was shipped by express, you
have to add 10 to s cents express
charge; if shipped by baggage, 5
cents a gallon. 1t is safe to say the
cream cost Mr.. Emery $3.50 per gal
Ion.
Mr.. Emery gives conservative
estimate on the balance of Bar Har
Dor as follows: Peach, 500 GAL;
Marshall, 900 gal; B. S. Higgins,
800 gal. Butterfeld, 700 GAL; Kit
tredge, 800 gal; Paul Russell, 800
gal; Soper, 800 gal; and scattering
1000 gal, a total of 454S gallons at
an average cost of $3.50 per gallon.
or total cost of $11 $40; or figuring
gallon of cream weighing S.32
pound and this being 40 per cent
cream there was 75c paid per pound
of butter fat for cream at the rate of
40 gallons day or more.
Average price of creamery butter
in Ellsworth last year was At cents,
or butter fat sold at 5305 cents in
the form of creamery butter. AL
lowing that the cows produce half
of their seasons butter fat during
summer months, and the balance
had to be sold at creamery butter
prices, averaging the two prices
gives us Ga cents per pound for but
ter fat during the entire season. AL
lowing $50 pounds of butter fat
from each of the 500 COWS during
the season would give a total of
$4,000 pounds of butter fat, and al
low 10 cents per pound butter fat
for gathering, standardizing and dis
tributing would net the producer 54
cents per pound of butter fat fur
nished to creamery, and also allow
$500 for running expenses of the
creamery. AS the number of cows
increases, of course the overhead is
reduced and the producers will real
ize proportionately more per pound
of butter fat.
