Cobbler puts Life Into Ashes.
John Ellmore an inventive shoemaker,
whose worldly possessions in his cobbler's shop and his home would bring
$200 on the block, bas within his grasp a
discovery which may bri ng him millions
and restrict the coal output of the United
States. Although the Pennsylvania Railroad officials profess indifference, it is
known tbat if Ellmore's discovery comes
into general use the present price of bituminous coal cannot be maintained.
Ellmore, itis stated, has succeeded in
producing a compound wbioh revivifies
or recreates the combustible element in
common coal ashes, at the same time
•creating a heat of greater intensity than
that evolved from tbe highest grade
of coal, when fanned by a forced
draught. Today in an ordinary cellar*
furnace, six parts coal ashes and one part
of coal, all saturated with the cobbler's
mysterious solution, produced a . wbite
hot fire, whose caloric was more intense
after it had been burning two hours than
it was at tbe end of the first hour.
Two teaspoonfuls of Ellmore's compound, costing 25 cents, dissolved in three
gallons of water, is claimed to be sufficient to treat three-quarters of a ton of
ashes mixed with one-quarter of a ton of
coal, and will bring out more heat and
evolve it for a longer period than one
ton of pure coal, bituminous or anthracite. So convinced iB Dr. H. K. Hoy,
one of tbe leading practitioners of Altoona, that Ellmore's secret is very vain-
able, that he has agrees to back the manufacture of the compound and to enlist
capital to produce it on a large scale.

May Interest you.
A    New
Bill
Passed.
Interest in tbe Thaw case has changed
to dread that the jury may disagree and
the whole obnoxious business will have
to be gone over again.
That the Indians who are papils at the
Carlisle school are "inchin" along in the
race toward civilization is evidenced hy
many facts. The Pittston Gazette calls
attention to tbe fact that the seh .ol produces "some of the best baseball and
football players in the country, and at
the commencement exercises; to be held
a few days hence, the Puritan opera,
Priscilla,' is to be given by the boys and
girls of tbe institution. This is the flrst
musical play ever rendered en tirely by
Indians, and is especially intended to indicate to visitors the capacity of the Carlisle scholars."
A bill that will be appreciated not only
by owners gi spirited horses but by all
persons who drive through the county
districts, and especially farmers, was introduced in the legislature at Harrisburg
recently. The bill makes it unlawful to
propel traction engines along publio highways in townships from November lQtb
to May 15th, fixing a penalty of $20 for
violating. Often in the spring these
mammoth engines are propelled alongtbe
country roads, sinking deep in mire and
ruining the roadway for the balance of
the summer.
The April Woman's Hone Companion!
A distinct contribution to contemporaneous literature is the epic poem, "At
Pilate's Judgment Seat," byThomasNel-
son Page, in the April Woman's Home
Companion. In this poem, which occupies two fall pages of the magazine, Mr.
Page departs from the usual procedure
and describes the Judgment from Pilate's
point of view. The result is a masterly
and novel treatment of the most marvelous trial soene in the world's history. The
noem is strikingly decorated by Herbert
Paus. Another important feature in this
number of the Woman's Home Companion
is a characteristic editorial by Edward
Everett Hale, "Some Reminiscences of
the Nation's Oapitol." Homer Davenport, who recently visited the Arabian
Desert for this oiaeazine, has a notable
article, entitled "The Arab Horse in Legend and Story," in which is given a
wealth of first-hand im formation on a very
interesting subject. The ever helpful subject of home building is treated hy Henry
Harrison Lewis in an article, "Selecting
the Site," which describes in detail this
important preliminary in home construction. An unusual strong arrav of fiction
headed by a timely short story, "Mrs.
Basket.'s Easter Bonnet," by Mary E.
Wilkins Freeman and including Josephine Daskam Bacon's serial. "The Do-
mestic Adventures." and short stories by
Jennette Lee, Temple Bailey, Lulu Jndcon
