DETERIORATION OF COAL.
Claim Made That Fuel Kept in Free
Alr Loses Much of Its Steam-
i ing Power.
The question of storing coal for fleets
bas assumed such importance that the
experiments made in England to over-
come the deterioration due to continual
stowage possess a definite interest,
says the New York Herald. It is
claimed that coal kept in free air quick-
ly loses between 10 and 20 per cent. of
its steaming power, while coal deposited
under water in prepared basins suffers
but little loss. In the experiments un-
dertaken at the suggestion of the ad-
miralty coal that had been submerged
from three to ten years atthe Alexandra
docks, Newport, a:@ other specimens
that had drifted from wrecks into the
River Usk were submitted to a compar-
atlve test with the best fresh mined
Monmouthshire coal. The result was
that the Usk coal stood first and the
Alexandra cock second, both by a sur-
prising margin of superiority.
Our expcrience In the Philippines,
where the conditions are especially se-
vere, does not show the asserted deteri-
oration of 10 per cent. in 12 months, but
there is such a sensible loss in efficiency
that the new idea seems worth a careful
examrmation. Submerged storage is
cheap, and the coal, easily recovered
when needed, can be dried so speedily
by exposure to the sun that the danger
of spontaneous combustion in the
bunkers is obviated. Coal is a prime es-
sential of war power, and we must
rather extend than diminish our efforts
to store it.
ZACHARY TAYLOR'S TOMB.
Resting Place of a Great General and
| President Is Neglected—Few
Visit the Spot.
| “Z. Taylor. Died 1850.”
That is the inscription on the tomb of
|{@achary Taylor, twelfth president of
the United States, according to the
[Cleveland Press.
| A correspondent who recently visited
the tomb of “Old Rough and Ready”
|says for over half a century it has lacked
{the care of a kindly hand and is fast fall-
‘ng into decay.
| Apparently nobody cares.
The tomb lies five miles from Louis-
ville, and is off the road. Ivy riots over
the weather-beaten blocks of granite.
he fastenings on the door are red with
rust. So far as is known no key haa
jturned the locks for 50 years. Visitors
are rare. It is doubtful if half a dozer
|tourists visit the tomb in a twelve-
‘month.
{ And this neglected spot is the last
resting place of the hero of the Black
Hawk and Florida wars. Here is the
dust of that great soldier who with 4,000
{American riflemen drove in retreat 20,-
000 Mexicans under Santa Anna at
Buena Vista. Here 2re the remains of
the American Cortez and president of
ithe United States.
! He who conquered the swamps and
everglades of Florida and made Mexico
surrender is forgotten by his country-
‘men. Not one in 10,000 knows the place
‘of his sepulcher.

FWIXT LIZARD AND BIRD.
The Hoatzi~ 5 Curious Animal and an
| Jraportant Link in Evolu-
| tion of the Fowl.
One of the most interesting birds
known to science is the hoatzin, say
Jerrard Grant Allen and Leonard But-
tress, in an article on “Bird Babies,”
Pearson’s. Indigenous to South
erica, this precocious youngster
has made itself famous by the arboreal
feats which it performs while yet at
. iy tender age. On the “thumb”
d “forefinger” of the young hoat~
pins wing appear tiny claws, and,
armed with these, the tiny creatura
= As out of its nest and clambers
{about the boughs of trees, using them
a8 hands, by means of which it hooks
ftself along. The progress, indeed, ex-
actly corresponds to the early pedes-
trian efforts of the human baby, whose
rst perambulations are made with the
tance of friendly chairs and otner
ture. These little claws of the
tzin are used only in infancy, drop-
{ping oft as soon as the power of flight
bas been attained. The chief interest
of the species, however, attaches to
e fact that it is one of the most
rimitive forms of bird now in exist-
once, and affords an important link
with the ancestry of the fowl of to-day.
nally, as is generally known,
rds were evolved from the lizard
ily, and the hoatzin forms a com-
jparatively early step in, the progres-
sion from reptile to bird. Even when
ts wings are full grown, so imperfect
re they that no upward soaring can
be negotiated, and their only use is in
making short flights from a higher to
‘® lower branch, while the ease with
which the hoatzin climbs affords an-
er indication of its proximity to the
trike

Fever That Seldom Diew Ont,
Do you know there is such a thing as
‘newspaper fever” and that {it just
sorms and burns its way into a fellow’s
system and remains there as long as
life lasts? It is a fact, says the New Or.
leans Times-Democrat. Men who work
around newspaper offices know it to be
true. They know it is true not only to
the men who work in the business, but
many others who never happen to get
into tho business at all. There is an old
legend to the effect that If a man once
takes the Mississippi river water he
will keep coming back to the same old
river, no matter where he goes. It isthe
same way in the newspaper business.
Taste it once and you have got it (n your:
eystem for good.
‘When bilious try a dose of Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets and realize for
once how quickly a first-class up-to-date
medicine will correct the disorder. For
