Early History of Anthracite Coal.

The first use of anthracite coal as a gen
orator of heat known to have been made
was bv blacksmith in his forge in the
Wyoming district of Pennsylvania, in
1869, and the first shipment for market
was in 1775, from where PittstOn now stands
to Carlisle, fol use in the colonial Govern
ment forges. But it was not until 1908
that the future value of the article then
known as @stone coaI7 became assured. In
February of that year an experiment of
using it in CRATE as fuel proved successful
at Wilkesbarre, and that experiment may
be said to have been the starting point of
a commodity that is probably of greater util-
ity and value to-day than aEy other known
to commerce, being leading factor in our
manufacturing industries, as well as the
chief generator of heat throughout the
whole country. Although its value was
ascertained more than a hundred years ago
it is only about fifty years since-it began to
be used to any considerable extent, and
not until 1929 was the.frst shipment made
10 New York This was owing more to
the lack Of transportation facilities than to
any other cause. From that year, when
the annual production was less than 1000
tons, the consumption has so enormously
increased that the annual production reaches
upward of 20,0O0,000 tons, to say nothing
about the production of bituminous or
soft coal

A II. Sherman, of Saybrook, is the owner
of hen whose record the past sImmer re-
lieves the dull history of fowls somewhat of
its usual r onotony. She laid one egg, and
after the usual period of incubation hatched
one chicken. Dissat' SIZED with the scanty
product OF her maternal effort, she immediate
ly commenced laying again and in due time
four eggs were produced. From these four
eggs four chickens were hatched. The FIST
chicken, during the second period of incubu-
baton remained with the mother and was
brooded by her. Another hen, with brood
of chickens, dying, and one of her chickens,
surviving the loss of the mother, was taken
possession of by the first chicken mentioned
above, and cared for and locked after as ten
cerly as if it had been its own. The old hen
recognized these six chickens as belonging TO
her family. At night she broods four of the
chickens while the Oldest one sits down by
her side and broods to the best of her ability

der her charge.-Ashtabula Standard.

The RAIN TREE.

The Consul of the United States Of
Columbia in the department of Lereto
Peru, has written from Yurimagus to
President Prado, informing him that
in the woods adjacent to the city of
Moyobamba exists a tree called by the
natives Tamai-caspi (rain tree) which
possesses some remarkable qualities.
1t is tree about fifty feet high when
at maturity, and of about three feet in
diameter at the base, and has the
property of absorbing an immense
quantity Of humidity from the atmos-
phere, which it concentrates and SUBJ
sequently pours forth from it's leaves
and branches in shower. and in such
abundance that in many cases the
ground it it's neighborhood is CONVEX
ted into perfect bog. It possesses
this curious property in It's greatest
degree in the summer, precisely when
the rivers are at their lowest, and
water most scarce; and the writer
proposes that it should be planted in
the more arid regions of Peru for the
benefit of agriculturists.- Panama

II cannot find much about this fish
in any of my books. This family of
ribbon-shape form consists of seven
genera and twenty six species. Mr..
Swanson remarks Of it as follows:
''1t contains the most singular and
extraordinary fishes in creation. The
form of the body, when compared to
fishes better known, is much like that
of an eel, the length of the body
being in the same proportion to the
breadth; but then it is generally so
much compressed that these creatures
have acquired the popular name of
ribbon fish, lath, Or deal fish. The
body, indeed, is often not thicker,
except in the middle, than is a sword,
and being covered with the richest
silver, and of great length. the undu-
lating motions of these fishes in the
sea must be Respondent and beautiful
beyond measure. But the wonders Of
the mighty deep are almost hidden
from the eye of man. These meteOric
silver-coated fishes appear to live in
the greatest depths, and it is only at
long intervals, and after succession
Of tempests, that a solitary individual
is cast upon the shore with it's delicate
body torn and mutilated by the ele-
ments on the rocks, so that with few
exceptions they are scarcely to be
regarded as edible fish.
According to this authority, the
Mediterranean has hitherto produced
the largest proportion of the family,
but it is distributed from the arctic
regions to the sunny shores of India,

THE WORKlNCMAN.

Let parasites of place and power
Still bend the supple knee;
The instincts of the slave are theirs
They care not to be free.
But freedoms studiest champion still,
Decry him all you can,
IL the horny handed son of toll
The noble workingman.
The hand that guides the gliding plow
Or makes the furnace glow;
That curbs the fiery iron steed
Or strikes the sledge's blow,
Is working out through all it's toll
The Great Creators plan
And earning honest bread the while
God bless the workingman!
The throbbing pulse of labor keeps
The worlds machine in play,
And drives the car of progress on,
More rapid every day.
Rob not the toiler of his need,
Let Justice lead the van;
Well does he earn his scanty hire,
The honest workingman.
The Shylocks and the shoddyites
Still press the worker down,
And clustering, call him communist
When e'er he asks his own.
Though gilded frauds may sneer
AT labor when they can
No purse proud snob was ever peer
OF an honest workingman.

THE RIBBON FISH.

Frank auckland, in recent letter
to Land and Water, says: Il have
received, through the kindness of a
correspondent at Nice, a very
remarkable specimen of a ribbon fish.
/ make him out to be regdiicus. /
have never before seen one of these
most curious fish in the flesh. 1t
measures five feet, is about quarter
of an inch thick, and is of silvery
hue, not unlike the color of the silver
hair tail. Upon the top of the head
there are filaments, which, when
stretched to their full, are about
eight inches long. The head is very
remarkable; altogether it is not unlike
the shortened head of horse. The
mouth is prehensile, and SO peculiarly
formed that it is quite worthy Of a
figure; the eyes are very large and
circular; the iris of lustrous silver
color. Behind the head the body is
two inches and half deep, IN the
middle two inches. at the tail quarter
of an inch. When held up to the
light it is almost transparent; the
vertebra can with difficulty be seen,
but with the movement of the fingers
each vertebra will give slight crack
at the junction with its nelghbOr.
The vertebra are longest and thlckest
towards the tail end, at which there
are sharp spine. It is covered every
where with a fine silvery powder,
which readily comes off in the hand.
| 1t has crest of about an inch III
height. which runs down the whole Of
the back. The rays forming the crest
are united to double pillars of very
slender bone. In substance it is very
