Mining Notes.

The Cleveland correspondent of the
Coal Trade Journal Of last week says ::
The middle of Jsly has come ard gone,
and still lake shipments continue to
hold off just what the ;rouble is. it is
difficult to find out. Rates are mot high,
and vessel men insist that they must
Eoon advance, but still the coal does
not come forward in any great quanti-
ties Two important coal projects have
come..to the knowledge 'of your cores
pon'ent within few days past. One
is the building Of belt road and the
reclamation of large stretch OF lake
front Mt the western extremity Of the
city for coal and ore docks. The other
enterprise is the Clavelani AMI South
ern nailroad whose or :anizatiol was
referred to M my letters about a year
ego. This proposed rr ad has survey
ed line throug, Cuyahoga. Medina,
Wayne, Holmes, Coshocton. Musking-
nm. Morgan, Perry, Hooking. Athens.
Meigs, Vinton, jackson. Gall.a and
Lawrence counties, and is about 250
miles in length. 1t will be essentially v
! a coal road. The line strikes coal in
Medina County and from that point to
, the Ohio River runs through a contin-
uous coal and iron field. The counties
through which the line passes mined
last year 4. l29. $40 tons Of coal, or near
ly 81 per cent Of the total amount min
ed in the State. Just what the ned IS
for more coal in the market is not ap-
parent, but the projectors are enthu-
siasiic and bound to push the road to
completion.

The Coshocton distric. strike is still
unsettled. The miners are acting very
unwisely in this, since having invited
arbitration they absolutely repudiated
it, when they supposed an award was
about to be made against th,m. At
this rate arbitration will now be a by
word.

A StraitsviIle correspondent OF The
Ohio State JOunal says:
The miners of No. mine are dissat-
isfied, as they are not getting an equal
share of the work, and meeting is con-
templated in regard to the matter and
have a committee to wat upon Mr. Wal
ter Crafts in order to get an equaliza-
tion Of the work. From the hard times
experienced in the valley for the past
three years it is evident that no ole has
any money put away for rainy day,
and If the work stops the necessaries of
life stops also consequently the men Of
No. 9 are placed in very critical con-
dition and their petition should have
due consideration. and if possible some
thing done to relieve them.

One healthy indication of..increasine
prosperity in the valley is found in the
fact that our mineral lands are again
attracting the attention of eastern cap
italists. Messers Nelson and Camp
were conducting a party through the
valley this week, who were anxious to
invest in our coal lands. Nelson and
Camp have several large tracts of land
for sale. and are doing, as the boys say,
land Office business in real estate.

duces rain," and this is about all everybody
does know about it, and knowing no more, this
amounts only to a juggling of words. Telling us
that vapor goes upward without being able to
tell us how it gets upward is simply telling us
nothing about evaporation.
Place drop of water on piece of glass in
the open air exposed to the heat of the sun and
it soon evaporates. The heated nitrogen APP
proaches the drop and draws from it part of
the oxygen. This reduces the size of the drop
and liberatcs portion of its hydrogen by TAX
ing away oxygen that was formerly united with
it. This hydrogen thus liberated still cings
about the diminished drop because it is attract
ed there by the oxygen and hydrogen still in
the drop. As nitrogen continues to draw off
the oxygen in the little drop, the drop gets
smaller and smaller and is wrapped deeper and
deeper in the liberated hydrogen clinging
around it until the hydrogen is sufficient to lift
the remaining particle of water and thus carry
it balloon fashion up to cloudland If this is
not 50. what then lifts solid particles of yapoT
up high i'll the air: 4 particle of water can
not displace its weight in atmospheric air and
therefore could not rise by its own gravity no
matter how small that particle of water may
be, and If it is not balanced by pure hydrogen
surrounding it how can it get into the air?
The surface of the sea cyaporates under the
rays of the sun in the same manner illustrated
by the single drop, namely, by nitrogen draw
ing off oxygen and leaving surplus hydrogen
to raise the remaining or diminished particles.
Clouds are simply high fog, drops of water
falling from them unite with each other as they
fall and thus we see that the highest drops
come from the highest clouds. When clouds
are low the rain is very fine.
hydrogen by itself is neither explosive or
combustibla but will produce the greatest heat
when burned i'll air, or in other words when
in the presence of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon

The valuation of real and personal estate of
New ork city for this year is very little less,
according to the New York Herald, than 81 :
421 ,000,00t> nearly S32, 900 900 more than the
remaining national debt of the United States.
OF this immense sum only S211 900, 900 are
assessed upon personal property. The Boston
Transcript says that last year the personal
property of Boston was valued for purposes OF
taxation ut $3.50, g., and commends the
more liberal policy pursued in New York as
regards the taxation of personal estate. The
Transcript further says: 1.-The effect of laying
the chief assessment upon real estate is to ell
courage business of all kinds, and as business
increases real estate grows more and more val
liable. That is the most direct course to pros
perity. so far as taxes govern public thrift, for
any city to pursue" 1t is of course extremely
difficult, If not impossible, to equitaby adjust
the burdens of taxation. At best this result
can only be approNimated As for Belfast the
driving away Of personal property under Tax
payer rule has left real estate to carry most OF
the load.
