Z. c. Fulton writes from Vienna to the
Baltimore american: Throughout Austria,
along all the lines Of railway, there Is piled
up large masses Of species Of Ignite, which
Is used as substitute for coal In generating
steam. It Is rather In the form Of fakes than
Jumps, and Is Of brownish black, rescm
bling rotten or decayed wood more than It
does coal. 1t Is broken ur into small pieces,
aud piled In baskets, from whence II ls sup
piled to the tenders Of passing locomotives.
IL emits strong black smoke, but II does
not annoy the passengers with dust or SCOT.
Judging from the immense quantities TO be
seen, the supply must DO as extensive as coal
Is with us, and Il must DO very easily mined.
There Is an abundant supply Of wood, mostly
pine, In Austria, her mountain regions being
dense pine forests, but this fuel Is used even
on the Crown Prince Rudolph Balm, which
passes through pine forests and mountains
clad with heavy timber. The fuel used for
domestic purposes In Vienna Is wood and
charcoal, and as most Of the people do their
eating In the restaurants, there arc many
houses in which fro Is never lighted for six
or eight months OF the year, except to q
spirit lamp or pan Of charcoal.

part, q like performance having taken place at
the residence OF Mrs. Mel. The facts OF this
