Remove Ashes
Often
Ashes should be removed immediately after rak
ing. 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.

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.»

GIRLS BALK AT ROPE SLIDE
, Radcliffe students Object to College j
Fire Rules
Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 19. —Had-j
eliffe's girls are kicking over the ropes j
in their endeavorj to dodge the tire
rules for college dormitories.
Fire Chief Marjorie Bridgnian insists
that every girl in college must learn to
use the rope fire escapes, and iu the
next ten days must demonstrate to t'he
satisfaction of Dean Boodv that she
j has learned her little lesson.
At first it was intended that the col- |
J lege lassies should do the slide for life j
t down the hempen cords from their |
I rooms, but visions of college boys and !
!"townies" watching the performance
! caused a sudden rearrangement of pro- j
gram, and ropes iu the gymnasium are
now used. Chief Bridgnian says the j
mutineers will soon learn tlrat rope slid- i
ing is a valuable as well as enjoyable i
pastime.
