THE MINERAL WEALTH OF PENNsYLvA-
NIA.-The product of the three anthra
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania for the
year 1868 was 13,074,257 tonsa very
considerable increase over 1867. The
bituminous coal product for 1868 was at
least Is 100000 tons. 1t is stated that
$40, 100000 was distributed among the
producers OF the product of the oil lie
gions, at least 1OO,O0O,O00 gallons were
exported, valued at S27,000,00O in cur
rency, and adding the domestic consump-
ton, the value is not less than S37, ,OOO,-
900 for 100000 gallons Of petroleum
produced. The product of iron for S6S
was as follows: Pig iron of all kinds,
S72 1925 tons; from forges and bloomcries
80, ,164 tons; rails, 253 $50 tons; manu-
flctured iron, including sheet, plate, hoop,
nails, &c, 265.82l tons, valued at the
current rates at $G8,000,000. The aggre-
gate value of the annual product OF these
three articles is Sl95, 5,O00,000-a sum
nearly three times that Of the annual pro-
duct of the precious metals in the United
States.

A New VELocrPEDE.-Th Detroit FREE
Press says: Quite FURoRE was created on
the streets yesterday by the appearance ola
velocipedist on tricycle. or three wheeled
velocipede, whirling along at tremendous
rate of speed. This velocipede was invent
ed manufactured by a gentleman residing in
Ipsilant, who claims to have ridden on it
from that place to Detroit, q distance OF
twenty-Gight miles, and to have made a mile
in Ypsianri, OIL Thursday last, in two min
utes and thirteen seconds. The wheels are
forty-two inches in diamiter and is propelled
by means Of double handcrauk, no treade
being used as on other yelocipedes. On each
side of the nub Of the forward wheel is a
grooyed pulley, and attached to the straight
portion of the crank are two more pulleys,
the four being connected by belts. At each
revolution of the pulleys the vehicle is pro-
PEELED distance Of sixteen and half feet.
and when an culinary rate of speed is attain
ed, it runs quite easily. Its weight is forty
nine pounds, and the inventor claims that it
will sustain two hundred pounds without
danger of collapsing. 1t certainly possesses
one feature that renders it superior to those
now in use, and that is the comparative ease
with which it can be run on ordinary carriage
roads.

MAIDSTONE.
Curious History of Remarkable Mad
Stone.

For the first time in our life we saw, yes
tsrday, genuine maidstone, and heard its
history from the owner, who inherited it
from Lis father The fortunate possessor is
Colonel b. Lee Milan. of Waterford, Mar
shall county, Mississippi. Colonel Milan is
u prominent citizen of his county, and his
statements set at rest any doubts which we
may have had about the efficiency of tho mad
stone in curing the bites of mad dogs, cats,
snakes, spiders, or other venomous animals
or insects Colonel Lee Milan is native of
Madison county, North Alabama, from
whence he removed in 1885. The family
came from Virginia, and the Colonel inherits
also the middle name, being u second cousin
of Gen. Robert T.. Lee.
The maidstone in his possession is about the
size OF hens egg, as heavy us so much brick
and rather more porous, and is of light
clayish color One end is fat, as if it had
been sawed of, and grain runs through the
stone from enu to end, as if it had, in some
former age, been so much wood or bone.
About fifty years ago this stone was split in
three or four pieces, but was carefully lnsten-
ed together with a wire, which still performs
its Office. The stone was brought from Chi.
ma in the year 1910, by DIR. Barker. The DIR.
died in few years, and the stone was sold
at public sale among his other property. -
Mr.. Jarvis Milam, the Coloncls father was
the purchaser and at his death he willed
the stone to the present owner. with the con-
ditlon that all the family should have the use
of it rs often as necessary, free of choice.
As TO its virtues, Colonel Lee Miom states
that it has been applied with success in over
one thousand cases. and has only failed in
two, AMI in those the part affected could not
be successfully reached. He has used it him
self over two hundred and fifty times When
applied it adheres as ifhy suction, and usu-
ally remains on ten or twelve hours. When
the poison is all eXtarcted the stone falls off
During the process a very offensive stencil
fills the room, making the air sickening in
the extreme. The stone is then soaked in
warm water from twenty four to thirty siX
hours, when it becomes ceansed aud is again
ready for use. Colonel Milan assures us he
can cure any case Of dog, suake or other bite
where madness or dissolution has not actual
ly set in. Cures have been effected even as
long as two weeks after the bite. Last week
the stone was used successfully in several
cases. 1t is known for many leagues around
and the people come from far and from near
to he healed.
Colonel Milan has been offered FIVE thou
sand dollars for this wonderful stone, but
always refused TO entertain the proposition.
He said, playfully, yesteaday, that he might
sell it for ten Thousand dollars if the buyer
would promise to always allow him the use
Of it. Great is the maidstone. We are
converted What says the medical world?
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1869-03-12

FIVE months since, Dr. Ridley, Of
Boston, amputated the leg of five year
old son of his, who had been injured by
being run over by an omnibus. For
this damage to his son he collected six
thousand dollars. 1t now turns out that
the boys great and next to the great toe
were alone injured, and this not sufficient
to acquire more than two splints, bandages
and little care. But, to recover dam
ages, the Christian father gave him chic.
roform, amputated the leg below the knee,
aud recovered pay for the damages he
alone had caused
