The Philadelphia American, WHICH is near
enough to the coal fields to understa the
situation thoroughly, alleges that there is no
sufficient reason for the advance Of coal An
attempt has been made to explain it by the
Reading strike, but notwithstanding that
strike statistics show that more anthracite
coal is being mined this year than last when
II was cheaper. The retail dealer says he is
not making as much as last year, because his
coal costs more. The operators say that
wages and freights are so high that they can
not afford to sell for less. ut is neyerthe-
less evident" remarks the American, that
somebody is making more money than be-
fore" and it hints that there is combine"
somewhere and that the scare about coal
famine is used for the purpose Of getting
large price for very poor coal

Annual weeds increase and spread
chiefly in cultivated ground; peren-

meadows and pastures. Some of the
latter are crowded out by dense
growth of grass and clover but with

The Great Increase in It's Area Within
the Past Fort, Six Years.
An appendix to the new Indian statisti-
cal abstract contains table showing the
increase in the area and population of
India since 1S42 In that eyar the area
was $4,000 square miles, in 1914 it in
creased to SIT, 900, in 1847 to 694, 000 in
1913 to 500, 600, an ! SO down to 1866
more or less was added every year lex
sept 1852 } until it reached S32, 900 square
miles, land in 1855 it rose to $4,000. At
this it remained until 1865, when this in
creased to SEQ, 600; in 1882 this rose to
So, 255, and in 1868 to 947. 1877 square
miles So that British India in 1886 was
half as large again as it was in 1912. Per-
haps this extraordinary increase will be
better understood when put in this way:
ince 1912 an area equal TO that of
lrance, Italy, and Belgium has beer
added to British India, that is to British
territory in India. excluding the native
states In 1912 British India had an area
equal to that Of France, Spain, and the
German Empire to-day: by 1852 an area
as large as Italy and Portugal together
was added to this; by 1862 further area
as large as Hungary was added, and by
1852 this was increased by the area Of
Holland, and By 1886 an area equivalent
to that Of the whole German Empire, OK
GLIDING the kingdom of Prussia, was
added to this. The area of the native
states under British protection, which are
not included in the above, is roughly
equivalent TO the combined areas of the
Austro Hungarian Empire. Spain. Portu-
gal, and Italy.

The Parrot and the Owl.

The question having arisen, "Why do

to discussion and left the decision to the
Serpent. The Parrot went back several
thousand years to prove that Adam a[e

who came after him had been obliged to

sours in drawing comparisons, making
deductions, and clinching his points. When

the Serpent asked the Owl to begin.
