If they are allowed to accumulate they exclude the air from the ash pit and cause the grate bars to burn out. I Grate bars in a furnace should last-a long time if the ashes are not allowed to pack up against them in the ash pit. Ashes are disagreeable to handle at best and the coal that gives less ashes for a ton should have the preference. Our Wilkes-Barre coal gives lots of heat and little ash.

WINDSTORINSAMONCTIMBER They Are Indicated by Little Diagonal Streaks or Wrinkle* Aoroea Grain of Wood Washington, D. C., Feb. 19.—Little diagonal streaks or wrinkles across the grain of n piece of timber not only be tray weakness, but sometimes indicate periods of stress through which the wood passu 1 when it was growing. Th»y may even be taken as a sop at check ; on the official record of wind storms, as in the ease of some lumber tested at the forest service laboratory at Madi son, Wisconsin. The marks are caused by what aro called "compression failure*," which occur when the fibers bend or 'bucklo under a too heavy strain. In cutting up lpgs collected for experiments at the laboratory, it was noticed that these compression failures appeared on the north side of a number of trees which came from the same loca.ity in Florida. IBy counting the annual rings of the wofltfr and from knowledge of the time I when it was cut in the forest, it was decided that the compression failures must have been caused! by a severe wind from the south a'bout the year 1898. Inquiries were made in Florida and it was found that a hurricane had. in j fact, swept over the region at the time i indicated. The experiments have determined that thfc strength of a piece of woO.l may be seriously impaired by slight compression failures due to rough han dling. Dropping a beam across a skid may cause a compression faililre at the point at which the beam strikes the ■ skid and it will 'be at this point that the beam gives way when it breaks uu | der a strain too severe for the weak ened fibers to withstand. Hitherto un accountable breakage in hickory wagon | spokes and other presumably strong material are now attributed to comprss ' j sion failures caused by wind storms in | the period of growth or bv Har.t usuage in lumbering and manufacturing pro cesses. *:: ' • t, i ARNOLD DALY j Arnold Daly, who through his work ' in "Candida" became in such a short space of time one of the most talked-of actors in America, has signed with i Pathe to take the leading part in their new serial "The Exploits of Klaine." I That Mr. Daly stands in the very front rank of the theatrical profession to-day I is self-evident, and that he has been ; signed by Pathe for the new serial j i proves conclusively that 'The Exploits • ; of Elaine" will be a vastly different] [preposition from "The Perils of] rt*auline" in that the new story will re- I j quire most artistic interpretation, and j I not depend so much upon sensational I incidents for its interest. Mr. Daly is an object lesson to the i ambitious young American bv proving that there is plenty of room at the top and that true ability will be recognized i in spite of all handicaps. Some ten I years ago he tvas office boy for Charles I Frohman, surely a sufficiently humble beginning in the theatrical profession to satisfy the most ardent admirers of such works of fiction as "From Cabin Boy to President." Born in New York, he showed the average New York boy's sublime indifference to the favorites of I fame, and they still tell stories along i Broadway of young Daly's scornful attitude towards the famous play- i wrights and theatrical stars who called ! upon Mr. Frohman. At an early age Mr. Daly was con- j vineed that he could act and"eventually i prevailed upon Mr. Frohman to give him a chance in a small role. He soon j showed that he possessed an intutitive dramatic sense and his rise was steady, i He was -fortunate to have a part in ! "Pudd'n Head Wilson," under Frank j j Mayo, whose splendid experience and ' ! " ne talent gave him much invnluable I j knowledge. After that engagement he I | played the boy in Win. Gillette's farce ' ■ "Because She Loved Him Mo,' which | j was followed bv the part of the mad | lover in "Barbara Frietehie,' with Julia Marlowe. Engagements in "When We Were Twenty-one," "Hearts Aflame." and "The Girl From Dixie" followed. All this time Mr. Daly's art had been broadening and taking on a finer qual ity, Unconsciously and gradually he had bceji fitting himself for his great I success "Candida." It is interesting to 1 note that this great production, which afterwards played 132 days in New! ork, was first put on for matinees ; i only by Mr. Daly to demonstrate "a i I worthy play which could not be com- i ; mercially successful in New York!" I LShortly afterwards against all advice. Mr. Daly needing a plav as a stop gap, . determined to try "Candida" on the I : New York public. It was done and | ! ?fch day saw a growth of receipts. I j Before long it was the most talked-of I j play in the city and Mr. Dalv was i | famous.—Adv.» Photoplay To-day "The Leopard's Lair" is shown to- | day at the Photoplay, alonir with a j two act Vitagraph drama, "For An ■ other s Crime,*' featuring Leo Delanev j and Leah Baird. "Broncho Billyh I | Greaser Deputy," with Helen Holmes, the fearless girl, in the lead. "The I Escape on the Fast Freight" is another ' thriller. This time Helen, the telegraph | operator, fights with a fugitive on top iof a fast moving freight train.
