Gasoline From Water Gas
From the chemical laboratory
comes the promise of an important
new source of gasoline in the fu-
ture. This source is water gas,
which forms a part of most city il-
luminating gas. and is obtained by
pawing steam over hot coke.
As the results of experiments in
the Kaiser Wilhelm Research Insti-
tute for Coal Production in Ger-
many, Prof. Franz Fischer reports
in Popular Science Monthly that by
using a catalyst, or substance which
accelerates chemical action, gasoline
may be formed from this water gas.

Oranges in Saikatchewan
M. J. Peckinpaugh has succeeded
in growing oranges at his home in
Midale, Saskatchewan. He planted
the seed eight years ago and has
been tending it with great care ever
since. The bee has been 'bearing
for three years, but this is the first
year that the fruit has been of or-
dinary *ize. This year it bore eight
; oranges winch are fully ripe. Midale
• is 80 miles north of the northwest
| corner of North Dakota.
Boom in Handcuff Trade
Birmingham, England, is the cen-
ter of the handcuff trade, and vir-
tually has a monopoly on the busi-
nesa. Thus the makers are able to
form the beat ideas as to the preva-
lence of crime in all parts of the
world. Recent orders for “irons”
from China, South America and ]
Australia are said to apparently in- I
dicate that those countries are ex- j
Charm of Cleopatra
Manner, Not Beauty
For her beauty, as we arc told,
was not such as to strike those who
saw her; but converse with her had
an irresistible charm, and her pres-
ence, with the character which was
somehow diffused about her be-
havior toward others, had some-
thing stimulating about it. There
was sweetness also in the tones of
her voice, and her tongue, like an
instrument of many strings, she
could readily turn to whatever lan-
guage she pleased, so that in her in-
terviews with barbarians she very
seldom had need of an interpreter,
but made her replies to of them
herself and unassisted, whether
they were Ethiopians, Troglodytes,
' Hebrews, Arabians, Syrians. Medes
or Parthians. Nay, it is said that
she knew the speech of many other
peoples also, although the kings of
Egypt before her had not even made
an effort to learn the native lan-
guage —Plutarch
Sealed “Lave Neel*
In 1890 James Williams brought j
his bride to the ‘Hove nest” he had
built in La Grange. After a few
months she died. Williams turned
the key in the door of the cottage i
and never went hack. He died a
few weeks ago and the place was
■old. Everything was found just as
it had been left 35 years ago.—Chi-
cago Post.
Drought-Prvot Corn
. Thirty-two varieties of drought-
, resistant rorr. have been planted oa
{ the farm of George Theis, Jr., in
i Clark county, Kansas, in in effort
j to find a drought-proof corn. The
I different varieties were gathered
■ from all parts of the United States.
I Harvey J. Sconce, noted plant
. breeder of Sidell, HL, is to make
I observations.

—. At That, Bedfellow
Wae Quiet Sleeper f
A Capper’s Weekly reader sends I
in the story of a Missourian who H
missed his train at Memphis and fl
had to put up at a badly crowded I
hotel. He agreed to double-up with H
I another man already in bed. Not fl
I washing to awaken his bedfellow,
who bad a sheet over his head, prob-
ably to keep off mosquitoes, the new- |
remer undressed quietly and slipped ,
into bed. Soon he heard steps and j
a young man and woman came in I
and sat down by the window. “Not
knowing what to do I lay still,” he ’
afterward told a friend. “Directly H
I heard the girl say, ‘Will, ain’t you II
I ashamed to try to kiss me when 11|
I we’re settin’ up with a dead man?* H
A dead man ’ I reached over an’ •, |
I felt him, an’ sure enough it was a !||
I corpse. I rose instantly and it was II
a race ’twixt the three of us to the I
hottoTn of the stairs I if N
first. But I didn’t scare that cou- I
pie any worse than that curpae I
■cared me. To thia day I don’t g
know whether that clerk made a n
mistake er played me a lew down, I
dirty trick.” ' j
