slowly into the chilling water. The girl

There are but four anthracite "o>l-
fields in Pennsylvania, and their aea.rc-
gate area is but 1873 square miles. ..c-
liable engineers estimate that 5,,o
amount Of coal the four fields VIII Y.,.l.
if the present wasteful method O. nlia-
ing be continued, cannot be more t,;:2
5000, ,000,0 900 tons. But the supply
will be exhausted in a century, if not
sooner. Beside Pennsylvania, Rhode'
Island and Virginia are the only States
which produce anthracite coal, and
their supply is insignificant. The ser
vice performed by anthracite coal in
the development of the resources OF the
United States has been so great that
the prospect of the exhaustion of t;ie
supply, even century hence, must be
regarded with much concern. The de-
claration that long before the century
ends anthracite coal will be luxury
which only the rich can enjoy viii
cause popular demand that the waste
full method of mining known as the
"pillar and breast" be abandoned, and
that the more economical method en-
p1oyed in English mines be substituted
for it.
It is true that the supply of bitumin-
Gus coal seems inexhaustible, although
the annual product of our bituminous
mines does not much exceed AZ, 900, 900
tons, which is about fourth of the
coal product in England. Ohio, which
ranks below Pennsylvania and Illinois
in the production of bituminous coal,
can produce more than England, whose
capacity is already severely taxed. But
the iron and steel industries of the
United States could never have reached
their present proportions but for the
anthracite coal, and the exhaustion of

MEERNCHITM.

The place most productive Of this
mineral is known to be near the town II
Eski-scheir, in Antolla. Asia Minor. i
recent account by Herr Adler state
that the preparation of 100 boxes CT
meerschaum there takes twelve to tif-
teen persons two months, and costs
about e12O. In Eski-scheir the aver
age price Of the box OF mercantile ware
has varied since 1873 between aboat f6
to e10 Qast year it was about tie
former). Refuse ware can be had ut
about an eighth of the price. There
are ten qualities, and each is to be had
IN four sizes, there being twenty-five to
forty pieces of the first size per box,
and $50 to l, 800 pieces of the fourth
(the box is thirty inches long, eight
inches broad and fifteen and one-half
inches deep. In the last two decades
the export of meerschaum has consid-
erably increased; from 5000 boxes in
1855, it has risen to II, 100 in 1881. In
Constantinople the trade is managed by
about fifteen firms Austrian, Bulga-
rian, Greek, Armenian and Turkish
who bring their wares into the Vienna
market. The large importation into
Vienna may be said to date from be-
tween 1850 and 1860, when the produc-
tion of pipe-bowls and cigar-tips was
greatly increased for export to En-
gland. France and North America. In
1860 a considerable export of pipes to
San Francisco was first developed,
while large quantities of cigar-tips were
sent to America and Australia via Ham

EDUCATIONAL QUERIES.

Does the committing to memory Of
sentences and definitions in many cases
really convey any idea to the child's
mind of the subject matter attempted to
be taught?
Is it not suggestive that a story full
of historical or geographical facts told n
group of children, by one who likes to
tell them such stories, will hold its
place in their memories without any
repetition, while the same children may
drone whole day over half a dozen
answers to be memorized without know
ing in the least what they mean or i'm
ply?
Is the mind a reservoir to be crammed
with facts or opinions which may or
may not be facts?
Or is it rather a mirror which the
more it is polished the better therein
