and consequently requires more
air for combustion to penetrate
through the fuel. The heat that
is generated cannot be wiped
away easily and the temperature
may build up sufficiently to
soften the impurity in the coal.
Clinkers can be made by
blasting" Blasting" means i'm
proper control of air by damp
ers. Let us assume heat is want
ed upstairs. The fire is probably
shaken vigorously and the damp
ers open aoide. When sufficient
heat is obtained upstairs the fire
is suddenly and completely
checked. Thus a tremendous
amount of heat is "bottled" up
in the furnace and the fuel bed
temperature Immediately goes
up in a hurry. If this temper
ature becomes high enough, the
natural impurities in the coal
will soften, then melt and run
together and form what is
known as a common clinker.
Here is what to do if you
think a clinker has formed in
your firebed. Take a straight
edged poker and pierce the clink-
er. Be careful not to stir the fire.
Open the drafts wide. The cold
air will flow through the per-
forated mass, and when this cold
air comes in contact with the red
hot mass, it suddenly becomes
chilled and will break up because
of the sudden contraction which
takes place.
This is sometimes called "burn-
ing out clinker." Then nurse
the fire back to normal with cor
rect firing to its proper depth.
Don't forget to reset the damp
ers before leaving the basement.
Ask your fuel dealer for firing
instruction and charts and elm
mate this trouble. Proper ham
ding of the equipment and the
fuel will greatly minimize clink-
er formation. (23)

Radiant Living
RADIANT
ENERGY
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth

One of the most fascinating
countries of ancient times is the
land of Egypt. This is especially
true concerning its religious
thought.
There was Amenhotep ", for in
stance, some nineteen hundred
years before the birth of Christ,
no broke away from the many idols
of his day and declared that the
only God that actually existed was
the glorious sun which beamed
down upon them every day.
He based his conviction on the
scientific observations which he
made, that all life on the earth is
sustained by the radiant energy
which streams from the sun.
To express his conception more
clearly he adopted, as a symbolic
description, circular disk which
represented the sun. From the
circumference of this, he extended
straight lines in all directions
which represented the beams of
light streaming forth from the sun
carrying the radiant energy of the
sun in all directions. At the end
of each of these lines he drew a
tiny hand, in which was grasped
the Egyptian sign which represent
ed the fact that the sun imparts
the gift of life to all that it touch
es.
What Amenhotep " observed
and depicted is indeed true in the
realm of the Spirit. All life is sus-
tanned by that radiant energy
which streams forth from God.
Declared the Apostle John: God
is light and in Him is no darkness
at all.
To have that life which is abund-
ant, healthy, prosperous, and hap
py, one needs to expose himself to
the radiant energy of God.
AS the same Apostle has also de-
clared: eff we walk in the light $
He is in the light, we have fellow
ship one with another and the
blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sim"

TT is a common saying "The
L Coal Clinkers." But this is
not true. 1t is a physical impos-
sibility to make coal clinker. 1t
is the refuse in the coal that
causes clinker trouble. The heat
from the fire will cause this
refuse to soften and fuse, and
upon cooling will form a crust,
commonly known as a clinker.
And yet with anthracite coal
(haM coal), the small amount of
impurities have such a high
fusion temperature that in home
heating, clinkers should never
occur, but now and then we do
have clinker trouble. However,
the coal should not be blamed.
Clinkers are actually "manufac-
tured" by wrong methods of ham
ding and improper firing.
1t is the easiest thing in the
world to cause clinker to form.
All one has to do is to mix red
hot Goals with the ash. How do
we unconsciously mix red Goals
and ash? By pulling out a clink-
er that has already formed,
through the fire door. By using
a hooked end poker-always use
a straight poker. By stirring the
fire unnecessarily. By shaking
the CRATES too vigorously. By US
ing ashes for banking. By burn
ing rubbish or garbage in the
furnace.
Avoid doing the above things
and you will never be bothered
with clinkers. However, there
are several other ways in which
clinkers can be made to form.
They can be formed by burn
ing a coal too small in size. This
small size coal will pack SO
tightly that it is very difficult
for the draft to pass through the
fuel bed. Contrary to what many
people believe the smaller size of
hard coal does not burn fast.
But this size coal packs more

A ROYAL INSPECTION

Detachments of u. S. Marines
have been inspected by kings,
queens and famous figures all over
the world. A few years ago an in
cident happened to Crown Prince
Olav of Norway proving beyond
doubt that Marines are alert and
can deal effectively with any
strange situation.
Prince Olav visited the USS Ten
nessee while it was anchored in
New York harbor and began his in
spection of the battleship's Marine
detachment. The Leathernecks
were spic and span. Photographers
and newsmen stood ready to record
the royal inspection. Great care
had been taken to assure a perfect
performance.
The famous visitor went down
the first rank and each Marine
came to a snappy inspection arms.
Completing the first rank the
Prince began inspecting the second
rank from the wrong end.
The situation was rather tense.
Officers and men knew something
had to be done to avoid embarrass-
ing royalty. 1t had to be done i'm
mediately without excitement.
The hero of the incident was the
last Marine at the end of the Sec
ond rank, farm boy from Kansas.
Without waiting for orders he caus-
ed an otherwise awkward situation
to be overlooked by coming to a
perfect inspection arms. All tense
ness vanished. Each man followed
the Kansans's suit right down the
line until the inspection was COM
pleted.
1t was an excellent performance
and clearly demonstrated the
qulck-thinking qualities of the u
S. Marines.
