TILLAMOOK HEAL LIGHT, SEPTEMER 28^ 1905. CHEAP FUEL IN GERMANY. TWAIN’S VOW OF SILENCE. Among the several branches of German industry which deserve the attention of Americans by reason of their economy, their recovery or util- ization of some raw material which exists unused in this country, or be- cause they invoke the most intelli- gent application of scientific knowl edge to technical processes, may be reckoned the manufacture of bri- quettes from brown coal, peat and the dust and waste of coal mines. Briquettes form the principal do- mestic fuel of Berlin and other cities and districts in Germany; they are used for locomotive and other steam firing, and are employed for heating in various processes of manufacture. For all these uses they have three tangible advantages: They are clean and convenient to handle; they light easily and quickly, and burn with a clear, intense flaine; they make prac tically no smoke, and are, withal, the cheapest form of fuel for most pur poses. Like most other important fiernpn industries, the briquette manufac ture is controlled by a syndicate which includes among its members thirty-one firms and companies, or more than nine-tenths of all the pro ducers in the country, and regulates the output and prices for each year. From the official report of the syndi cate for 1901, which has recently ap peared, it is learned that the total output during last year was 1,566,385 tons, to which is to be added the ]rroduct of makers outside the syn dicate, consumed at works, small re tail sales, etc., making a grand total of 1,643,416 tons. The average selling price in large quantities was $3.16 a ton. Mark Twain has retired from the public platform for ever. His appear ance at Missouri university, where he I received his degree of LL. D., was his last as a public speaker. On this oc casion he talked for nearly an hour. 1 He was in a brilliant mood. There waa a flash in every word he uttered, and , and he proved the truth of the asser I tion of Julian Hawthorne, that no man ! tn the world can handle a joke for all it is worth and bi ing It out so forcibly I and clearly as Mark Twain. The audience laughed and laughed again, but some of them cried when the speaker said in tones that shook with suppressed emotion that he was bid ding Missouri and old frienda farewell forever. “Please announce in the papers,” said Twain, “that I have retired for ever from the public platform.” When interviewed concerning the recent dis patches to the effect that the German translations of his works have been excluded by the Russian authorities, Mark Twain was not a bit worried. “I am not in the least surprised,” said the humorist. “The books of hundred® of other authors are excluded every year from Russia, and the fact that my works are barred gives me IM tie con cern. I am but one of a vast number whose books have been excluded and are being shut out every’ day by the Russian authorities and I take it a.s no special compliment that I am among so many. “Russia has a great many Germans in its population and is gradually Rus sianizing them, and naturally it does not wish any literal tire circulated that would influence any of the people in favor of a monarchy. “In some of my works I may have said something that could have been colored into a pronounced expression CARP OUSTING WILD DUCK. of views against the Russian govern ment, and it is probable that this ac Vueletss Themselves.

Initial station in New York city is in the Cheabrough building, and on the top of the building the apparatus for send ing and receiving messages have been installed The system is of American invention, the work of E. H. Smythe, of Chicago, and Lee De Forest, a grad uate of Yale university. The system differs radically from that of Marconi, as messages can be sent an»l received as rapidly an the op erator can work, the speed of 40 words a minute having already been attained. IHstinct messages hs\e been received over a distance of 75 miles. PvwlahMttt er Reward England wants Kruger to go back to South Africa and settle an a farm.

On arriving in New York he is amazed to discover that the goatee is conspicuous by its absence, tobac co chewing unnoticeable and ex pectoration practically unknown. In this respect he finds the New Yorker far more cleanly in his habits than the Londoner, more especially on public cars and in public places, says an eastern exchange. The unre strained indulgence of spitting on and off the tops of 'buses and in rail way trains, and the random chewing and smoking of tobacco in and around London are simply odious, and make traveling intolerable and ofttimes disgusting even to a smok er. Here the strange prohibition against spitting in public places and the sensible regulation as to smok ing are so thoroughly observed that traveling becomes a pleasure. If London would only copy the most^ ad mirable example existing in New York in this respect the English metropolis would soon be rid of a most unwarrantable and filthy habit. H- LARSEN.

In New York scores and hundreds of men to-day are paying anywhere from $9.000 to $16,- 000 a month rent for suites of rooms, not homes which they have built for their families, but simply apartments which they’ have rented for awhile, says a yvriter in Homilitic Review. The godless magnificence, the selfish prodi gality, the overwhelming ostentation of the wealth of New York in certain circles cannot he described; but it is all an indication of the fact that the climax has well-nigh been reached in the display of what wealth can get. The world is waiting now to knw what wealth can give. It is the ne mesis of vast wealth that it brings its own retribution, and that retribu tion is the wearineM of being unable to find happiiieag in merely having things.
