Ttn'lronds in Ksthonla seem in a fair way to discard coal In favor of bitu minous shale, a substance common enough In geological formetlons to make the Esthoninn experiment widely Interesting. Lacking coal, the Estho ninn provisional government has been investigating the'possibilities of shale, and, as the report comes by way of Helsingfors, shale Is now being used for a good many purposes. The gas factory at RevnI, for example, is using shale exclusively for making gas. But. so far, shale has not been adopted ns a fuel, and wood is being burned in tbe fire-boxes. The factory prob ably waits to see bow completely shale can be used to run railway Irains. and tbe railway factory in Koval Is now experimenting with tire-boxes suitable lo using shale Inn locomotive. That It can be successfully used, how ever, seems to have been proved. Cost Is n strong argument for the n-e of shale, and 3 marks for a pood, or some HO or 40 pounds, of shale, ns against HO marks for the same meas ure of coni makes it very much cheap er. It would be odd, but not impos sible. >if later events should show that in using shale for fuel the little-known country of Esthonia is loading the world. A Nev ida woman has brought an CARRY OWN WOOD TO SCHOOL breach of promise against French Children Study Their Lessona in Cold Buildings With Shell* Torn Holes. Children of Laon, in the devastated Alsne district, have to take their own wood to school. Instead of’swingihg along merrily, as American children do, with their books under their arms, I each thin little youngster staggers along under nn armful of wood, shell- shattered tree trunks or hits of tim ber from trench and dugout. ft is the only method of keeping warm in the desolate schoolrooms. Under the conditions prevailing In schools in northern France, Lincoln’s persevering studies by the light of a big log tire cease to be remarkable. The back room of a cafe, the cold In terior of n village church with the wind whistling through apertures in the walls made by shells, or perhaps the one remaining room of the former schoolhouse are the places where the French children are studying without books, paper or pencils through the long, cold, dark winters of northern France. For blackboards the bare walls-are used. Charcoal or bits of chalk from the wldte cliffs of the country must | serve as pencils. A few of the more fortunate children have hits of slate from some shattered roof upon which they painfully execute their lessons.— Stars and Stripes. OPERA HOUSE Thursday, April 15th Philip II.
