COAL IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Mr.. Robert 2. Porter writes to Chi
cago journal of a visit to the principal
cities of the five great coal regions in
England and Wales. More than half a
million of tie English population are
employed under the coal miners regula-
ton act. The annual product exceeds
135, 900, 900 tons, of value of $3.50, 00O,-
900. The coal field of South Wales is
the largest of the five, except that of the
Clyde basin. The amount of coal pro-
duced IN this field is $4,000, 900 tons,
and, at this rate, the supply will last
1900 years. The North and South Stat
fordshire coal fields yield over IA, O0O,-
600 tons. The Lancashire coal bearing
tract produces 100000 tons, a third
more than ten years ago. In this dis
trict are the deepest mines III the British
Isles, one 500 yards and the other TIT
yards. Motifs, Derbyshire and Yorkshire
form another, and the largest field
Nearly 26, 100000 tons were produced in
1880, while IN the great northern district
of Durham and Northumberland 80, OOO,-
900 tons are produced. Of the 0,000,-
900 credited to Ireland and Scotland.
only 1,000,0 900 tons come from Ireland. It
is estimated that 135, 900, 600, 900 tons are
in reserve at depths not exceeding 4, 900
feet. If drawn upon at the present rate,
the supply will last thousand years.
Mr.. Porter says that his observations in
the coal regions confirm the remark of
an English writer, that England's rich
and refined civilization is built upon a
basis of ignorance, pauperism and vice.

The DriIIers of Oil Wells.

The men who drill oil wells become
wonderfully expert at their work; or per-
haps it would be more accurate to say
that only those who are very expert can
get work. A correspondent who has
watched the process thus describes a
driller's skill: "He has spent years
learning his trade, and learns something
new with each well he drills. He knows
the qualification of the earth more
infinitely than any geological books
teach, and he can tell how near the bit is
to 4the oil-bearing sand by the little
particles that cling to it when he takes it
out, or by the few grains of gralet wash
ed out of the bailings. With his hand
upon the cable he marks its quivering as
delcately as physician with his finger
on patients pulse, and by the faint
variation of the tremor understands what
the bit is doing, sometimes almost half a
mile down the narrow hole. The style
of different drillers varies as does the
handwriting of different men, or as the
touch OF players upon the piano. They
know each others peculiarities, and an
experienced driller can frequently tell
who is in derrick without seeing him if
he is allowed to watch the work awhile,
or, what is more important in these davs
of mysteries, if he knows the driller he
can guess the depth of the well within q
hundred feet if he gets his eyes on the
outside machinery for short time"

THE AMERICAN WOOL CLIP.

The census returns gives one hundred
and fifty five million pounds as the
amount of wool clipped from thirty-fve
million sheep in the United States in the
spring of 1880. This shows encouraging
progress since 1870, when the reported
clip was hundred million pounds from
twenty-e1ght million sheep. Nearly a
fourth of the entire production of 1880 is
returned from two states-namely, Ohio,
which is credited with twenty-five mill
sheep, and California, which shows near
~ seventeen million pounds of wool and
four million sheep. In 1870 the CLIP. of
California was eleven m ilIion and that of
Ohio twenty million pounds. After
these two states come, in 1880, Michigan
with twelve, New York, nine; Pennsyl-
vania, eight; Mi ssouri, seven, and Wis
consin seven mi lion pounds. The rapid
growth of sheep raising in Texas is
shown by the fact that the number of
sheep increased between 1870 and 1880
from seven hundred thousand to nearly
two millions, and the amount of wool
shorn from million and quarter to
nearly seven million pounds. The in
crease IN the production of wool has also
been marked in Michigan, Missouri,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, but in New
York the reported clip of 1880 was more
than a million and half pounds less
than that of 1870, while the number of
sheep was yearly half million smaller
In 1880 than in 1870.

A Delicate Point.
From the New Yoak Times.


A perplexing question often arises un-
der the patent laws: Suppose a work
man in the employ of some large estab-
lishment invents valuable Improvement
IN the machinery or processes-does the
patent for it belong to him Or his en-
ployers They always say that they were
paying him for his time and are entitled
to whatever he accomplishes. He ar
CUES that inventing is a matter quite
outside the duties for which he was
hired. For example, pillow manufac-
turing company IN Indiana employed a
superintendent of their business, and he,
during his engagement, took out patent
for improvements he made IN the plows
they were selling. They sued him,
claiming that he should transfer the pat
ent to them, for they said that they were
led to engage him by his assurances that
he had large experience in making and
selling plows and devising improve
ments, and that he would devote his time
and services to manufacturing and per-
fectlng their plows; also, that the i'm
provement he had patented was made
partly by aid of suggestions from other
emplos and with materials belonging to
the company. The judge said that these
facts were not enough to make out their
case. Persons are not deprived of the
right to The inventions they make while
III the service of others, unless they have
been hired and paid to exercise their IN
ventive faculties for their employers. A
contract for the time, labor and skill of
an employe in manufacturing and selling
does not give the employer the right to
an improvement which the employe in
vents. If, in this case, the superinten-
dent was materially aided by sugges-
tions from other persons, be was not sole
inventor, and perhaps his coadiutors
were entitled to share in the patent, but
the fact would not give the employers
right to it.

Office BROKERAGE.
[From a Washington letter.


A fourishing branch of trade in Wash
ington is Office brokerage. Everyday
advertisements are seen in the papers Of
fering seventy-fve or hundred dollars
usually, but sometimes a much larger
sum, for places in the departments, gen
orally coupled with the offer to give Is
per cent, frequently as much as half, of
the salary obtained, and the salary men
toned is not more than sixty or seventy
five dollars. Now, when the bonus is
subtracted, there is not possibly enough
for anybody to live on, for being in the
department. requires decent dress and
surroundings. How do these people live,
and where does their living come from :?
Half of the downright scoundrelism in
regard to offices here is not known out
side. Sometimes it is the oficeholder
who feeces the government, sometimes
the officeho1der is feeced. An ugly story
came to light some days ago in regard to
a deserving young woman who got a
place at $75 month in the sixth audi
tors Office. She got it through lawyer
who had some kind of shady connection
with senator now in the senate. He
told her that the senator had pledged the
place to some one else, and the best he
could do for her was to give it to her on
the condition that she divided the pay
with the disappointed candidate. This
she did for two years, every month car
ryins $3.50 to the lawyer. At last she
began to suspect that she was being
swindIed, and, consulting with some ju-
dicial friends, they advised her to de-
post the money in bank, subject to
the lawyers order. Finally she went to
the senator and told all the circum-
stances. He was astounded at the con-
duct of his agent and remedied the mat
ter at once, begging her to keep quiet
but the poor girl did not get back the
81 600 she had paid up.

A Tree That Picks Up Stones,

So many curiosities of plant life have
of late years been brought into public
notice that the report of existence of a
tree which picks up stones, bones, bits
Of wood and other unconsidered trihes
from the surface of the ground, retain
ing them and suspending them in mid
air, hardly excites the incredulity now
adays with which such a statement
would have been received a generation
ago. Lieut.. Houghton. who recently
visited New Guinea and seyelal other
islands and groups of islands in the Pa
cifc, was the first to report The existence
OF such tree, though he did not explain
the means by which it accomplished
this unusual feat. It appears to be
species of fcus, allied to the well known
banyan tree, which throws out from its
branches air roots that eventually reach
to the ground, take root there and in
their turn become new stems, which per
form the same function, so that single
tree eventually extends so far in all
directions as to form complete forest,
In which all the stems are united by the
branches to each other he prehensile
tree in question sim hIy throws out
from it's branches lon exible tendrils
which touching the groGhd, do not take
root there, but Irvine themselves round
any article that may be within reach.
Eventually these branches contract, SO
that they fail to reach the ground; out
the finger-like processes continue to
closely grip the substance round which
they have twined themselves, and which
are consequently suspended in midair.
In this way articles of considerable
weight may be literally picked up from
the ground by the tree, and so held in
suspension.

A Party Platform.
From the Burlington Hawkeye.

- Julia wants to know " what party
platform is p Well, a platform, Julia
is one preamble and twenty resolutions,
strong in non essentials, vague in essen
tials; round the bush on tariff, and
rough as thunder on the Mormons:
clamorous for civil service reform, with
a reserved definition of civil service re-
form; down on corruption, loud in its
praise of purity, and determined to have
it if it takes every cent the party can
raise. The platform, you understand,
"Julia, is a legitimate and necessary
part of the campaign pomp and circum-
stance; it goes along with the banners,
transparenciesa and torches. Acampaign
platform is very much like the campaign
torch, indeed; it gives out great deal
of smell and smoke with very uncer-
tain, Pickering light.
