The Outlook tn the Coal Trade.

Of course it is folly to expect that coal can be sold for any length of time at a loss. and the cost of mining and trans pOrtation to day would not allow, without loss. of price much below S4 per ton If. O. b.) aEthe shipping ports. Cost of pro- duction will now be considerably lessen ed, wages will be largely reduced proba- ply as much as twenty-five per centum- and thousand little items which. were formerly passed as essential will now be Topped of Till the demand for coal has increased the more expensive mines will be closed, and all others worked at their full capacity. A greater economy in min. ing and in the preparation of coal will be sought for and found. and the plan which we have long been advocating, of investi- gatlng, m Q systematic, thorough manner. the question of the best manner of break ing and preparing coal, so as to lessen, as far as possible, the present waste which amounts to from twenty-five to thirty-ehree per centum of all the coal passing through the rolls-will folio W be- fore long. The cost of production which many of our mine owners to-day consider as low as it is possible to get it, except perhaps iu the few cents Q ton which can be taken oil wages, must and will be re. duced to an extent that even our pro- gressive "operators" now deem impossi- ble; and selling prices that to-day are considered to be, and are, absolutely ruinous,> will be looked upon in the not very distant future with much more com. placency. We anticipate for some time Tn the future the reign of prices for coal, as for iron, lower than have ever before obtained in this country, and this not be- cause of ''war among the coal companies, but rather as the consequence of the re. lative proportions of supply and demand. and the natural tendency of the laws of trade and progress in the arts.
 The coal companies must look to larger business and greater economy to compen- sate for smaller profits on the ton. and they will. m time, though possibly through much tribalation, accommodate themselves to the new conditions of the trade. We look to the future with hone and confidence. Even the anthracite coal trade. still in its youth. could not expect eo arrive at the strength and enioym ents of manhood without some of the reverses lknock-down) and tribulation incident to the growing age; and the lessons of adyer. slty, though unpleasant to learn. will place the trade upon the basis of a solid prosperity that it could never attain with out them. There are few, possibly none of our coal operators to day who appre. ciate the extent to which the cost of pro- ducing anthracite can and will be rednc. ed. These economies will come gradual. Iy with the adoption of improyem ents
 which cannot be introduced all at once for many of them are not even known or suspected: but the fact that the Jaws of trade, the growth of our industri es. and other causes. near and remote. seem to foreshadow for the future. during some

ToUaHENED GLAss.-The new process for making tough or unbreakable glass, has been greatly improved since it's first announcement and the material in the form of lamp-chimneys, tumblers. etc. IS now offered in commercial quantities. The success attending the experiments al- ready made have inspired further re- search in the same field, and number of new processes, of more or less value, are reported. Iu the original process, glassware, raised to red. or melting heat. is plunged into bath of oily and fatty matter, and the result is to give the glass an entirely new character. Instead of breaking with starlike fracture under a slight blow, it resists serious blows, and besides a certain amount of elasticity above that it had before, displays a toughness and cohesion, many times in excess of it's ordinary character. If brok en at all. it disintegrates, and flies into a great number of'minute particles, resem- bling quartz sand,-"Ihe Worlds Work::" Scri6ner Jor October.
