Communication From the Sea by
Carrier Pigeons.

krOnE tie New OrfeanS INES.
Mr.. Joseph Cooper, who is
now working a lowboat line out
| side OF the Tow-boat Associa-
tion, who has, in consequence,
no rights and privileges with
regard to the telegraph line OF
the Association, has hit upon u
novel method of getting his dis
patches transmitted from his
tow-boats to his Office in this
city. Last year when Captain
Black was outside the Associa-
ton that enterprising sllipown-
er bought several dozen Belgi-
um carrier pigeons, and was
trianing them for use, when he
decided again to enter the AS
sociation. Having no further
use for the birds, he did not
know what to do with them, un-
til Mr.. Cooper came around,
made inquiries and bought them.
MIR. Cooper constructed a cote
back of his Office and therein
put the pigeons. In a day or
two these latter became domes-
ticated in their new quarters.
For some time past they have
been regularly employed iu
bringing in messages from the
tow-boats at the pass, and Mr..
Cooper is delighted with his az
The carrier-pigeon
in his service is quicker than
the telegraph. For example:
When a Cooper tow-boat takes
charge of a vessel, say at tho
distance of thirty miles off shore,
q pigeon is turned loose. The
fleet bird circles around u mo-
ment, and strikes a bee line for
home. The distance straight is
about one hundred miles, which
the pigeon traverses in about
one hour and quarter. Should
all Association boat meet a yes
sci so far from land, a dispatch
can not be sent until three hours
thereafter, i. e., not till the YES
sci is towed to the telegraph
station at Port Eads. As a
consequence, the carrier-pgeon
line brings a message to the
city fully three hours ahead Of
the telegraph line, and Mr..
Cooper rcjoices over this sue
cess.

the window, he heard the sound
of footsteps on the stairs.
"Nobody coming to see me, |
devoutly hope" was his wish.
But the hope was vain, for the
next minute there was tap at bis
door, and in answer to his re-
signed "Come in!" his landlady
flung it open, and with. BEAM
ing face ushered in-who? A
little lady in a blue silk dress,
and a hat with a most bewitching
feather in it, who ran up to him
and clasped her arms about his
neck.
ooh, Allan, how could you
how could you write me such q
note! I'll never-never forgive
youv'
"Meta-Meta! my love, my
darling girl! What is this? What
does it mean?' said Allan, too
bewildered to comprehend how
this state Of affairs could possi-
bly, have come about.
at means this: that you are a
bad, bad, good-for-nothing man,
who wants to get rid of me, and
l won't be got rid of-now do
you hear? Do you understand,
ungrateful man?''
mo, l don't understand; Pm
afraid there is some mistaken
Eyes, there is a great mistake;
the greatest you ever made in
you life. l dare say it was my
fault. | made you think me a
mean, heartless, mercenary, little
wretch, ,and it was shameful in you
to believe me, and | didn't think
you would have acted so, but
I'll show you that Pm just as
good and forgiying as can be
and I've a great mind never to
forgive you or love you any
more!" With which very lucid
and consistent speech, Miss Har-
ding hid her face and cried more
than ever.
"Of course, / know It'll Papa
knows it (see papa there; you
didn't think / would be so i'm
proper as to come to gentle
mans room without him, did
you, sir?) and he says it's all the
same; and you are just as silly
as can be-"
"Pardon me, Meta,> blandly
interposed Mr.. Harding,of whose
presence Allan had been in total
Inconsistencies; "that was by
no means my expression; / only
said"
What he said, and what Allan
said in return is too long to be
repeated here. Suffice it to say,
that Allan, in the strength of his
newly restored love, felt equal to
making a dozen new fortunes;
but as one will be sufficient for
his needs, let us hope that it will
not be long before he succeeds
in attaining it. He is already
on the road to renewed prOspcri-
ty. He has been married now
for over a year, and in all the
Queen City of the West there is
not a happier couple than Mr..
and Mrs. Allan Grey.

Eve All Do Fade as q Leaf"

"We ALI Do Fade as q Leaf"
Falling all around,
Floods Of wOndrous glory,
Silent as the snow-flakes,
Breathing each story;
Like shower Of sunbeams
In the autumn mellow,
Fall the leaves Of crimson,
Russet, brown, and yellow.
Sobbing out low music,
When the wind is sighing,
At the thought so mOurnfnl
That the year is dying;
Fen the leaves are fading;
With the thought comes sadness:
Ahl my spirit longs
For the land of gladness,
For the golden pavement,
For the flower immortal;
Fain my feet would press
Toward the pearly portal;
Falling all around
Floods of wOndrous glory
All things here must fade
This the leaflets story.

STORY OF A MARTYR.
A Fathers Heroism to Screen His
Sons Crime.

NOt SIcdt WiIIe since Q
prominent physician of Denver,
COL, was called to attend a pa
tient in the last stages of what
appeared to be consumption, but
which, upon examination, PROV
ed to be simply wearing away
of life-a decay of the energies
of mind and body. Although
we'll supplied with money, the
stranger was seemingly without
friends or relatives. He wrote
no letters and received none.
An alien to the tenderness and
charity which sanctify the affec-
tions, he seemed to be drifting
out of the world, in which, for
him, all the flowers of the heart
had perished-a bleak and des-
olate old man, fastening out of
the sunshine into the winter of
the grave. After making a
thorough examination of the
case, the doctor told him that
although he could find no or
ganized disease, yet he Was dy-

The next instant the man was
dead. He had kept his secret,
and sacrificed his life in keep

The Anthracite Coal Fields.

Tho average annual quantity of anthracite
coal marketed from the Pennsylvania region
Is 20 600, 400 tons. To obtain this amount 1t Is
necessary to mine 50,000.000 tons, 300o0,0O0
tons being wasted. The great bulk Of this
waste Is tho fine screening from the breakers,
called culm. Tho area Of tho anthracite coal
fields In Pennsylvania is 40 square miles.
IL Is estimated that when mining began lin
1920 there were II. 190, 2s8 900 tons of mar
ketabIe coal in this field. About 375,000,00D
tons have been mined and marketed L. w.
Shaeffer, Of Schuykill county, Pa, leading
engineer Of the anthracite region, estimates
that the natural annual Increase In the
amount of coal mined will be such that by
tho year 1000 anthracite to the amount Of t.,
i6i 720,s ,s27 tons will have been mined He
calculates that II 100000 tons II year will ne
the maximum annual product Of the Penn
sylvauia fields, at which rate of production
t5ere will be no more anthracite coal at the
end OF i56 years from the beginning Of the
next century Hence the people who inhabt
this country In 205G will have to fall back
on btuminous coal. which is pentifully de-
