There are practically no by-product ctke plants in the United States, which do not recover ammonia, tar and light oil (crude benzol). In the vast majority of the plant also surplus gas is recovered and util ized either at the plant itself or by distribution to outside consumers. There are possibly two or three very small by-product coke plants at which tar and ammonia are not recovered for disposal to the outside markets, but these would certainly represent con siderably less than 1 per cent of the total by-product coking capacity of the country that Is. not now equipped with benzol-recovery plants, and the ty-prdouct coking plants now under construction have either contracted for benzol-recovery equipment or indicated a strong- probability that such provi sion will be made.

DISPATCHES FROM URALEI6H Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo pled Gathered Around ths Statu Capitol. Raleizh. . 1 That the increased cost of living has been more than counter-balanced by "the increase in wages is a notable conclusion set out by Commissioner of Labor and Printing M. L. Shipman ! in the "Trades" chapter of his forth- i pomintr iQic rpTvrt Thfl Increase in VUUAtUQ fc V W f V mrm ' cost of living, he says has been slight and there is improvement over the showing made a year ago as to condi tions of labor. Skilled labor is finding employment with marked regularity and there is every indication that un skilled labor is coming in for much more regular work and at better wage. The commissioner says it is a mat ter of regret that there cannot be put into effect some method where by unemployed in the towns and cities could be gotten in touch with farmers in need of labor. He says that while wages paid by farmers are not as high as are paid in town3. most farm laborers being negroes, "but it is likely that if farmers could secure white laborers, they would be willing to pay a considerably higher rate of wage and furnish employment the year round, then, too, there might be put forward many arguments for the unemployed to take up farming or trucking on their own account. The report shows the following average wages for the different trades: blacksmiths, $2.28; book binders, $4; boiler makers", $3.89; brick -masons, $4.16; building inspec tors, $3.20; cabinet makers, $2; car penters,' $2.28; conductors, $4.50; electrical workers, $3; engravers and jewelers, $3; locomotive firemen, $3.24; flagmen, $2; track foremen, $2.56; cotton mill mechanics,. $2.50; molders. $2.75; printers, $3.66; plast erers, $4.10; salesmen, $2.83; weavers, $1.42. Millions of Tons Available Ore. That North Carolina probably con tains the largest deposits of chromite, from which Is male chromium, used in the manufacture of chrome steel of any state in the eastern part of the country, declares Dr. Joseph Hdye Pratt, state geologist, in a statement of the mineral resources of North Carolina as relating to the location of proposed gvernment armor plate plant in this state. "North Carolina con tains enormous deposits of iron ore ; that are located in many sections of the state," says Dr. Pratt. "While but few of these have been operated dur ing the past years on account of the low price of pig iron, yet with the in. creased price of pig iron and better transportation facilities, I believe many of these deposits can now be profitably operated. "To a depth of. one hundred feet there are at the present time iron ores available in North Carolina as follows: "Magnetite, 6.500,000 tons. "Titanic magnetite, 1,510,000 tons. "Hematite, 250,000 tons. "Limonite, 725,000 tons. - "As pig iron increases in price it will be possible to operate additional ores in the state and other ore re serves will become available, such as: "Magnetite, 8,975.000 tons. "Titanic, 1,300,000 Otons. "Hematite, 900,000 tons. "Limonite, 5,000,000 tons. "There are in the western part of the state deposits of chromite. This is the mineral from which chromium is made and which is used in the man ufacture of chrome steel. North Caro lina probably contains the largest de posits of this mineral, of any state in the eastern part of the country." Twenty-five Counties to Take Part.

Math. 10:25. - v Teachers ought to urge their schol ars to ' read Chapters : 24, 25 and 26 thoroughly, and with the use of a map locate the places mentioned. The data of this lesson is A. D. 59, and it oc curred at the crisis of the events which determined the way Paul should go to Rome, Nero being the emperor at that time. " " : l'."..- ' I. Paul in the Prison at Caesarea (w; 1.6). Paul was worn out, badly in need of rest, and is given duringrthla imprisonment much freedom. He was accompaniefl r by Luke, his physician, and Drobablysome'of his other friends. For almost 20 years Paul had been liv ing, a strenuous life, crowded lf nil of labors that would have crushed an or dinary man." Now for-some consider able time he had time to thoroughly master and assimilate the truth which he had been preaching, the results of which have come down to us In the form of letters, seven of which at least were written' during and after the events of this lesson. His Imprison ment also gave many of his friends opportunity to secure his counsel and guidance. The vlndlctiveness and hatred of the Jews is evident by this new plot whereby they sought the help of Festus against Paul. The corrupt Felix had been 1 succeeded by a more upright man, Festus. The scheme of these enemies of Paul and of Jesus had already resulted In giving Paul an op portunity to preach Jesus as the Christ and the judge of men to persons' who otherwise would not have been within the scope of his influence. Through his persecution he had reached leading officials nnd educated men of the Ro mans and of the Jews. Bunyan, in Bedford jail, and Luther In Witten berg Castle, are illustrations of the principle that, "difficulties are the stones out of which all God's houses are built." Felix, on giving up his office to his successor, left Paul bound (Cti. 24 :27) though he knew he ought to be re leased, but by this vile, iniquitous act, he gave Paul another one of his de sired opportunities to witness for Christ in high places. The shrewdness of-Festus saved Paul from falling Into the trap of the Jews, for God was guid ing Fes-is, and at the same time guarding Paul. . II. Paul's Appeal to Caesar (w. 7 12). The Jews made many and griev ous complaints, but without bringing a single witness to prove their asser tions. Doubtless these were the same old charges that had been brought be fore Felix through Tertullus two years before, and which now as then, could not be proved. Paul was permitted to answer for himself, and he declared that he had broken neither the Jew ish nor the Roman, law.. Most of the enemies of Christianity and of the Bible "lay many and grievous charges against it which they cannot prove." In all ages the enemies of God and his word mistake strong and confident charges and vilifications as proofs. Paul's life was absolutely clean, and he could say, ."I have not sinned at all" (v. 8 R. V.) in any "of the directions in which he was charged. Festus, as the newly appointed governor, desired to do the Jews a favor; literally, desired to gain their favor. Therefore he said to Paul, ".Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things be fore me?" This amounted to an ac quittal of Paul on the charges that would come under the Roman law. There remained only such charges as would naturally come before the San hedrin, and the question was whether Paul would accept an informal acquit tal from the Roman court on condition that he submit to a trial before his own people on the other count. Fes-' tus wished to throw upon Paul the re sponsibility of refusing to go to Jeru salem, and to avoid .displeasing the Jews. - v Festus got a courteous but a sting ing and well deserved rebuke from his prisoner. Paul was perfectly willing to take any punishment he deserved, even unto death, but, having a clear conscience, he had no fear of Festus or. any man. His appeal to Caesar was most unexpected. It confused Festus and bafHed the Jews. The Lord's own words on his midnight ' visit to Paul in prison are here suggested (23: 11). .: , Festus could make but one decision, "Unto Caesar thou shalt go." Paul's sincere and open character was the means of his safety and power. HI. Paul and Adrlppa (w. 13-22).
