fications of Gibraltar.

A Description of the IMPROBABLE Forth
fications of Gibraltar
The great sight of Gibraltar is the
Notifications, which are on an i'm
mense scale, rs the whole circuit OF
the rock is seven miles But not all
this requires TO be defended, for on
the eastern side the cliff is so tremen-
dous that there is no possibility of
scaling it. 1t is fearful to stand on
the brow, and look down to where the
waves are dashing more than q thou
sand feet below. The only approach
must be by land from the north, or
from the sea on the western or south
ern side. The two latter are defended
by succession of batteries carried
along the sea-wall, and up the side of
the rock, so that there is not spot on
which an assailant can set his foot
which is not under the fire of guns.
The northern side is pierced by the
great galleries cut in the rock,
which are the unique feat
ure of Gibraltar, that distin-
guishes it above all the other fortresses
of the world. These were begun more
than hundred years ago, during the
great siege, which lasted nearly four
years, when the inhabitants had no
rest day nor night After we have
passed through one tier, perhaps a
mile in length, we mount to q second,
which rises above the other like the
upper deck of an enormous line of
battle ship. Enormous indeed it must
be, if we can imagine double-decker
q mile long! AS we tramped past
these endless rows of cannon, it oc-
Cured to me that their simultaneous
discharge must be very trying to the
nerves of the artilleryman Gf he has
any nerves., as the concussion against
the walls of rock is much greater than
if they were fired in the open air, and

Profits of a Baker.

A baker will toss barrel of flour
into n trough. Then he losses 104
pounds of water on top of ii. A quan-
tity of yeast is added, and then the
jolly baker has 800 pounds of dough
to operate on. The 800 pounds cost
him SIS. In short order the dough is
turned into twists" high loaves,
pan-loaves, and other styles of the
same quality. The ovens heat re-
duces the 800 pounds of dough
TO 26O pounds of bread. The baker
sells his bread at the rate of four cents
a pound, or at an advance of 80 per
cent. over what it cost him. There
arc l, 400 bakers, great and small, in
this city, and to them is committed
the trust of supplying bread for l, $780,
600 persons. There are many bakers
in this city who make 1, 800 loaves of
bread per day and sell it for from $50
to $105 or at n net profit of about $40
Little money is lost in the business,
and most bakers do cash trade 1t
is very seldom that bakers fail. The
business is steady, reliable and at
tended by very few risks, unless in
COMPETENT workmen. N Y Journal

The WORLDS coal.
Figures Showing That the Supply Is Writ
ually Inexhaustible.

Figures Showing That the Supply Il Writ
ually InexhaustibIe.
The reports of the United States
Geological Survey declare that om
stock of coal is likely to hold cut yet
for several centuries. The area Of
known coal fields in this country is
1872, 900 square miles; that of Great
Britain at u. 900 square miles, and in
GLIDING the European fields and ex.
elusive of China, the aggregate an.
inual output is 401, $500 gross
tons, of which Great Britain furnishes
1871 600, 600 tons, and Germany So, 000.
1000 tons, Spain furnishes only l, 000,0 0C
tons, and our own country over
LOG, 600, 600 tons, two-thirds Of
which consist of bituminous coal. Dur.
ing the twelve years ending in 1885
the output of coal in the United States
mines increased $4,000, 900 tons, but
we have as yet merely touched the sur
face of our coal resources, and it is
probable that the area of coal fields is
very greatly understated. Thirty
years ago the official estimate was
about 1917 900 square miles. Ii we es-
Itimate 5000, 900 tons to each square
mile some idea may be gained of the
magnitude of our coal supply. There
is certainly enough to allay all anxiety.
In 1855 the whole output of our coun-
try was only 1000 900 tons, about
as much as Scotland produced,
and as late as 1858 coal was
sent from England to Boston
and New York for factories an d for
private consumption at So to $40 a
ton. But outside the countries men,
toned above we should note France,
with 10000, 900 tons annually, and
Belgium and Austro-Hungary with
over II, 600 900 tons each. France has
an estimated coal field of 2, 0S6 square
miles, Austro-Hungary one of 1900
square miles, while that of little Bel
GUM is reduced to about $40 square
miles. Two countries that should be
taken into consideration because of
their possibilities are Russia and China.
These have an estimated annual yield
of 4, 100000 tons each, but Russia has
a known coal area, scarcely touched,
of 80 900 square miles, and it is prob
able that under the vast ex-
tent of the Pinsk marshes
still further wide deposits may
be found. China also has an un-
known but practically limitless ex-
panse of coal area. The provinces Of
Che-Keang Kenng-Soo, Hoo-Nan and
Shan-Se. contain vast areas of coal
lands. Hoo-Nan has q, 700 square
miles of coal fields, principally anthra.
cite, and it is estimated by German
scientists. who have given the subject
strict attention, that there is Goa,
enough in China alone to keep the
entire world in fuel some hundreds O.
millions of years, From these fact:
the exhaustion of the coal supply is
seen to be very remote danger in
deed, and it is very possible that the
coal measures may considerably out
last the duration of man himself upor
this earth. - Chicago Inter- Ocean.
