had fallen so soonl there had been such little

Like stony sphinx, and Bessie wept softly be-

human nature does not often get the chance
of seeing.

all.
"Well, dear" she said, awhat no YOU cry

THE FUEL QUESTION.
HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF SOFT COAL.
The Statement that the Railroad Com
P.ny Would Refuse to Furnish
Cars Denied.

READING, January 7.-Heavy ship
ments of soft coal from the bituminous
regions passed down the Reading Road
o-day, and the amount of this coal is
daily increasing. There has been no in
crease in shipments from the Reading
coal fields. A considerable number of
private collieries now being worked are
on the lines OF the Lehigh Valley and
Pennsylvania roads. The uneasiness lest
manufactures will be obliged to stop for
want of fuel is abating. New supplies
are being obtained by those i'm need, but
1t increases the expense.
READING REFUSING CARS DENIED.
PHILADELPHIA, January 7.-Port Rich
mond and Elizabethport continue their
usual activity. Coal is being trans
ferred without interruption, but the
strikers give no signs of weakening. In
terest in the strike now centers princi-
pally in the mines. The published state
ment that the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company would refuse to fur
nish cars to collieries at New Lincoln,
Pa, in the event of the operators Of that
colliery continuing the payment to its
miners of the eight per cent. adopted on
the $3.50 basis, is positively denied here
to-day. a statement was made in a
special dispatch to the Reading Eagle,
which dispatch was extensively pub
lished in the journals of other cities, that
Levi Miller, of the firm Of Miller & Co.,
who operate the colliery at New Lincoln,
had informed a committee of miners
that he could not continue to pay the
eight per cent. advance because the
Company had notified him that
If he did SO the company would refuse
to furnish HIM with cars. Mr.. Miller
to-day telegraphed to this city that this
statement was a mischievous misrepre-
of the truth. That he had
never made such a statement to any
Dne, and that cars ordered for the
colliery since the Inauguration of the
strike had been promptly and cheerfully
furnished by the Reading Company.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

COOPERATION OF THE SENsEs.-Some
curious experiments have led DIR. Urban
schitsch, OF Vienna, to the conclusion
that the exciting Of one sense organ m
creases the acuteness of the others, the
different sensations seeming to reinforce
one another. Hearing . sound will
bring out the just indistinguishable
color of distant disc. The ticking Of a
watch is heard more plainly with open
than closed eyes, the fact that we listen
to music or speaking with the eyes
closed being due to other reasons The
sight of red and green increases percep-
tions of sound; that Of green and red
weakens them. These colors affect sem
sations OF smell, taste and touch in like
manner. Touch and temperature act
reciprocally. When the skin is tickled
and plunged into warm water, the tick
ling ceases; when into cold the tickling
brings out the feeling Of cold. These
observations offer IN explanation of the
singular associations between colors and
sounds that some individuals retain.

TRAVELLING BY FLIGHT.

Hos IT Is Possible Tor Men to Fly In the Air.
Sundays Detroit Tribune contains an
article from the pen of Prof. Proctor, in
which the latter avows his belief that
the art Of flying can be mastered by
man. The following extracts give an
idea Of the plan he thinks practicable;
From my Florida home can watch
the turkey buzzards floating leisurely
along on outstretched wings. often not
giving a wing stroke for many minutes;
sometimes-unless my watch upon them
has been less steadfast than have sup
posed-not for a quarter of an hour or
more. At times I have seen them SO
close at hand, for this somewhat repul-
sive bird is not troubled with fears in
the neighborhood of man, that / have
been able To note the listlessness of
their aspect as they float in wide circles
around my house. Ii IL evident that
i'm this form of flight, at any rate, a bird
has little occasion To exercise that supe-
rior strength of the pectoral muscles, on
which, accoiaing to Boreili, the power
of flight possessed by birds depends.
There may, indeed, be no occasion for
the actual exercise Of strength in the
Onward floating which forms 30 iInpor-
tant feature of the flight of the buz-
Zdfus the dibhtioSS anu Hidiiy OtneT
birds. OF :course, this Is by no means
saying that great populsiye energy is
not exerted by all birds in flight. Apart
from the atmospheric currents the buzz
Zard and the aibatross can only float as
they do by virtue of onward velocity,
obtained through the intensely energetic
action of their wings, worked by tile
pectoral muscles, ON whose strength Bo-
relli insisted. But it II an important
first step towards the mastery of the
problem of flight to note that great dis
tances may be foated over without any
fresh exertion Of strength whatever, es-
pecially when we consider that the ini-
tial velocity necessary to render such
floating possible, may be obtained on the
solid earth-as, indeed, is the manner Of
some birds.
The great difficulty which man has
first To overcome is that of maintaining
his balance in the air. OF course, when
he tried wing fiaDping and that too with
his weak chest muscles-he was bound
to come to grief. Confidently launch
ing himself from some lofty wall or
tower, with wings fastened to his arms,
on scr.e plan tested for the first time in
this dangerous experiment itself, ne was
lucky IL he escaped with q broken arm
or leg-the more probable result being q
broken neck. But even such steady on.
ward floating as we See in the buzzard's
case, though not accompanied by any
violent, and Tor man, unusual exestion
i not TO be managed without long and
careful practice. Man, who was long IN
learning 70 balance his body on land
