Ir Rudolph Diesel of Munich lec- U at the Institute of Mechanical timers in London recently, on the istrlal importance of the Diesel p, Kine of which he is the inventor. declared that by this engine the moDoly of coal had been broken and ft the problem of using liquid fuel power production in its simplest most general form had been solv- it could be used with all natural iid fuels. What the steam engine I gas engine were for coal it was liquid, but was much simpler and Lre economical. Researches, he bed had shown that there was prob- fv Is much liquid fuel as coal in L globe. . New petroleum sources, fd Dr. Diesel, were continually be- r developed; new oil districts were Jng discovered. The world's pro- Iction of crude oil bad increased ree and a half times as quickly as b production of coal and the ratio increase was getting steadily high- |. Forty per cent of the present pro- liction of mineral oil, he added, was ready sufficient to supply the whole ival and mercantile fleet of the )rld with power if they worked it the Deisel engines. x Passing of the Parlor.

Some |f the big houses have the drawing jm, but in the average home, the liv- ig room has taken the place of the larlor. It is only another sign tbat leople are realizing the necessity of paving a house furnished in real, DiijellKe fashion. HELPFUL HINT3.

It is too much to expect of a dell- ite young creature of the opposite sx, whose constant education has fed her to believe that some mere ian. dazzled by her beauty and en- thralled by her many charms, will link to one knee on the parlor rug uid beg her to be his'n--It Is too much lo expect that she will at once grasp the opportunity," or that she will even tnow the opportunity when she sees Obsolete Garment. a :^^w York firm of petticoat manu- Itactjrers failed with $700,000 of Iia- Ibllities recently, and gives the ex- planation that women's skirts are so tight they have quit wearing petti- coats Did you know that?--Kansas City Star.
