Coal In Ancient Times.

Pliny. in his natural history, describes
rnthracites found in Africa rs a black
schistose useful in medicine, but no men,
ton is made of its inhammabihty. Jet
was called black ambcr-succinium
nigrum. When Roman traders told Of
the burning of amber for fuel by the
natives on the shores Of the Back sea, it
is supposed the material was a variety Of
Ignite, and not amber as reported.
Coal was probably used in China as
fuel long before it was known in the
western world. About the middle Of the
Thirteenth century Venetian traveller
and writer, Marcus Paulus Venetus, gives
the following account:
Through the whole province Of
Cathay, black stones are dug out Of the
mountains, which being put in the fire
burn like wood, and when kindled con-
tinue to burn for a long time. .
II lighted in the evening they keep alive
the whole night"
The ancient Britons made use Of coal
20 ceriain extent. Stone hammers
have been found in coal groupings, and
the name-formerly "colen-is Of British
origin. After the conquest the Romans
began to use it, for coal cinders have
been found in Roman walls, and Roman
coins in beds Of cinders. But coal was
not brought into general use until the
reign Of Charles ], in 1095.-Henry @.
Hanks in Overland Monthly.

How Thread Is Numbered.

Everybody knows the sizes OF thread.
Every seamstress knows whether she
wants No. 30 or 60 or 100. and knows,
when she hears the number, about what
is the size of the strand referred to; but
how the numbers happen to be what they
are, and just what they mean, not one
person in thousand knows. And vet it
is a simple matter to explain, was the in
formation accorded to a reporter by an
employe Of one of the largest spool cotton
manufactures in the United States.
When $40 yards of yarn weigh 1000
grains, a pound of cotton, the yarn is
No. /. IL 1850 yards weigh pound, it
will be No. 2 yarn. For No. so yarn it
would take 80 multiplied by $40 yards to
weigh pound. This is the whole Of the
yarn measurement. The early manu-
factured thread was three cord, and the
viread took its number from the number
of the yarn from which it was made.
no. 60 yarn made No. 60 thread. though
in point of fact the actual caliber of No.
60 thread would equal No. 20 yarn, being
three GO strands.
When the sewing machine came into
the market as the great consumer. un-
reasoning in its work and inexorable in
its demands for mechanical accuracy,
six cord cotton had 10 be made as a
smoother product. As thread numbers
were already established, they were not
altered for the new article, and No. 60
TX cord and No. 60 three cord are iden-
teal In size as well as in number. To
lffect this the six cord has to he made Of
garn twice as firm as that demanded by
the three cord. The No. 60 six cord
would be six strands Of No. 100 warn.
Three cord spool cotton is the same num-
Der as the yarn it is made Of Six cord
pool cotton is made Of yarn that is
lOuble its number. As simple thing
Us thread is there are 1000 different
Sinds made.-New York Mail.

per eyelid, the lower one Is drawn down
by the disengaged fingers, and behind
this the piece at once places itself.
In extracting glass OF composition
eye the easiest way is TO catch hold Of it
between the fingers and draw il outward.
Should any difficulty be experienced the
head Of pin or some blunt instrument
inserted under the head at once removes
the obstacle. This is where the folly of
using glass eyes becomes apparent, for if
not allowed 10 rest or fail on a handker-
chief or some soft material they break,
and their replacement at frequent inter-
walls costs considerable amount.
Glass eye making requires judgment
in the selection Of proper glass. This is
composed Of sand, soda, saltpeter, pot
ash, lime and chloride Of lead. All these
ingredients are put into melting pot
for a period Of twenty hours and Sub
jected TO heat of / 500 degs. The sand
and other chemicals then unite in FORM
ing liquid. The rllss blower then uses
an iron pipe heated enough TO make the
glass stick to il. This is stirred in cir
cular direction until a ball is formed.
The pupils, which are made. in the same
manner, from glass % different shades
and colors, are now inserted into this
globular mass, and allowed 10 cool, after
which the congealed 81 stance is paired
off in any form or manner required

No scarcity Of Salt.

II is said on the best authority that
10000, 900 bushels Of salt are consumed
in this country. The average American
gets away with fifty pounds Of salt every
year. The quantity taken at time Is 90
small that a person hardly notices 1t, but
a years consumption Of salt by one per-
son Is almost a bushel. An Englishman
gets along on twenty-five pounds year,
and in France an ordinary man swallows
eighteen pounds between New Years
day and December. IL calculations
amount anything there Is no danger Of a
scarcity Of the saline article, for famous
statistician has declared that II all the
salt In the ocean were piled together. IL
would make bulk equal TO 80, 1000. 900
cubic miles, He never saw all this salt,
but he says Il is there, and all that need
lie done is TO get il safely ashore. e.-Cu-

been generally unfavorable to all crops
except rice. In q few of the northern

THE PkNSiDAS UEBzTE.

The Senate debate on the Dependent Pen
sions bill illustrates the attitude Of the two
parties toward Union veterans. The chief
purpose alike of the Pensions Committee OF the
Grand Army, in formulating the present
scheme and Of the Senate Committee in amend
ing it. has been TO bring in a measure which
the President will have no plausible pretext for
returning with veto. A careful study has
been made of his veto message. and the clauses
of last years bill have been revised with a view
to avoiding the objections urged by him. AS
The debate has proceeded signs Of dissatis-
faction with the method pursued have multi
piled on the Republican side. The attempt To
adapt the Pensions bill TO tho prejudices and
prep0ssessions Of President who has shown
an utter lack of sympathy with the Union
veterans is deprecated by many Senators. They
consider it unpatriotic to split hairs over the
disability qualification and to confine the
benefits Of the bill to those who are absolutely
on their backs in bed or wholly incapacitated
for the performance of labor. They evidently
fear that a measure which has been qualified,
strained and rightly defined for the purpose of
obyiatine the Presidents criticism will practi-
calIy prove imperative. Senator Frye and
many of his colleagues frankly admit that they
do not like the bill as it stands and would pre-
fer scheme for providing for all disabledl
soldiers, no matter how or when or where
disability has been incurred. They will vote
for the present bill under protest, as an IN
adequate and niggardly relief measure. They
would gladly substitute for it an act Of sub
stantal justice to the veterans.
On the Democratic side little interest is
shown in the debates save when distinguished
Confederate soldiers choose to = nounce the
Grand Army as political organization OF pro-
fcssiona mendicants Senators Blackburn
and Beck have taken the lead in denunciations
OF this sort, representing that the Union soldiers
were an army Of bencfciarics, and that the
