PROHIBITED THE USE OF COAL King Edward | of England Ordered Execution of Man Found Guilty eof ‘ Burning Bituminous Fuel. In 18068 King Edward I of England issued a proclamation making the use of coal as fuel in London a capital offense. : : ;

One case is on record where an accused was tried, found guilty of burning coal, condemned and promptly executed. - !

Prof. V. S. Babasinian, professor of organic chemistry at Lehigh university, who is just completing extensive research work on coal tar derivatives, recounts several amusing incidents. - - The invisible gaseous products of the combustion of coal were early pronounced detrimental to health and vegetation. Resentment became intense when ladies of rank, their fair faces made f#rer by liberal applications of powder, underwent a curious change of complexion whenever they sat néar 2 coal fire. S

The nature of the smoke and odor from burning coal remained a mystery until after the middle of the Seventeenth century, when an alchemist de-‘ vised an ingenious process of heating: coal in the absence of air. The liquid| obtajned was known as “oil of 'coal,"‘ and was sold as & most potent remedy! for many ailments, i e

Then followed the isolation of large quantities of the highly inflammable gas, “spirit of coal.” When coal is distilled for illuminating gas it yields an = enormous quantity of black sticky by-product, now known as coal ‘tar. . . .

In 1845 Mansfleld isolated a most important compound, benzene, in this byproduct. 1n'1856 an elghteen-year-old investigator produced the first artificial dye from coal tar. . :

From 1860 to the present day the research chemist has subjected coal tar to the most searching scrutiny known to modern science. His efforts have been rewarded by the discovery of no less than 150 intermediates from which- are produced the most gorgeous colors, the deadliest poisons, the most powerful explosives, solvents, Insulators, - substitutes for sugap perfumes, tanning materials, flavoring extracts, accelerators, photographic developers, antiseptics, antipyretics, analgesics, diuretics and purgatives.— Kansas City Star. -

CAVE MEN RULED BY WOMEN

Female’s Cunning and Wit Outcome - of Her Lack of Physical Strength, Say French Professors. ‘

Recent research by some French professors into the ways of women of 100,000 years ago have givén an unexpected Jjolt to preconceived ideas. They declare that woman in the days of our cave-dwelling ancestors was. regarded as of the more important sex. Men held a secondary position, tolerated for the sake of the food and skins provided. Women ruled, and were inventors of the earliest arts and sciences. It was the woman’s ingenuity which devised snares for animals and made plans for storing food against times of ‘scarcity. Women taught ways of making clothing from skins ‘of animals and by the efforts of their brains improved the lot of all the human race. Woman’s cunning and wit were the outcome of her lack of physical strength, which obliged her to resort to strategy rather than force.

On the whole, the prehistoric woman apparently held the same position and ruled man in the same manner that she does today, according to thesa professors.—Detroit News. S

His Unexpected Reason.

After a violent quarrel the betrothed couple had decided to part. During a passionate scene the girl tore the diamond ring from her finger and threw it on the floor at his feet.

Calmly the young fellow picked up the ring, dusted it with his handkerchief and placed it carefully in his pocket, S :

“S 80 he remarked, coolly, “you have jilted me. Who has supplanted me?” “I don't like to tell you,” she answered, averting her face, . ; “Tell me,” he insisted, “No.» { - “Give me his name and address.”

“No, Percy, no,” sald the girl. “You want to kill him, I know!” “No, I don't,” replied the businesslike Percy. *“I only want to sell him the ring.” ;

The Customer Had One.

~ “Yes, sir,” sald the barber, “my poor - brother, Jim, has been sent to an asylum. He got to broodin’ over the hard times, and it finally drove him crazy. He and I worked side by side, " and we both brooded a great deal. ' No money in this business now, you know. Prices too low. Unless a customer has a shampoo, it doesn’t pay ' to shave or hair-cut. I ecaught Jim trying to cut a chap’s throat because he i declined a shampoo, so I had to have the poor fellow locked up. Makes me i sad. Sometimes I feel sorry I didn't ' let him slash. It would have been our revenge. Shampoo, sir?”"—Sydney c(Australiap Sun. . :

Helen Among the Missing. '~ When Rufus Steel and Dick Hotaling met recently they compared domes, “It seems to me,” said Steel, “that the last time I saw yon there was a halr still standing, over toward the southwest section. What has become of 1t?” “Ah, yes,” sald Hotaling, “that was Helen. Helen 8 dead. You'll notice I'm naming them mow instead of numbering them. It seems more affectionate.” -~ - Ll - $5.00 in Gold Free every night ai the Eagles Big Indoor Carnival. 46b2i Harvey Rice has been ill for ten days suffering from a bad cold. » William Norris is ill at his home in Albion from a stroke of apoplexy.
