The Worlds Coal Supplies.

The Deutche Handels Museum has re-
Gently issued some interesting figures re-
lating to the worlds coal fields outside of
the North American continent. Ac-
cording to these, Holland, Belgium,
Switzerland, Denmark, Germany and Bo
hemia possess coal mines of a surface area
of about SO, 900 square miles. Russia
alone has %, 900 square miles. The de-
posts of the island of Formosa amount
to something like 10000 square miles,
some of the coal veins ranging up to
ninety-six feet in thickness. The coal
fields of Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy,
Greece, Turkey and Persia cover about
1900 square miles; those of India,
5000; and those of Japan 5000 square
miles; while those of China are esti-
mated at the enormous figure of 400, 900
square miles. Moreover, the Falkland
Islands, Patagonia and Peru are very rich
in coal, while the southern part of Chill
is one immense deposit.
In Brazil veins varying in thickness
from seventeen to twenty-five feet are
found in abundance, and in the United
States of Colombia there is an abun-
dance of the mineral. Mexico and the
Vancouver Islands are also well supplied,
there being probably not far from 20, 00O
square miles; while the deposits thus far
discovered in Tasmania, New Caledonia
and Natal are estimated TO cover 100, 00C
square miles, the larger number of these
deposits not yet having been worked
Without reckoning the immense stores Of
coal in the United States, and merely re
lying upon those given above, there seem'
to be but little prospect of coal famine
during the present century.

An Indian Burial Place.

About ten days ago, writes r. G. Ho-
miller to the Washington Star, visited
the Indian graves near Romney, West
Va. 1t seems that ashes played an im-
portant part in the burial ceremony, as I
found from half peck to five bushels of
ashes i'll each grave. The method of
burial so far rs | CAN judge from careful
examination WAS rs follows: They dug
or scoOpcd out Il hole from one to five
feet deep by two feet wide aud three feet
long in the hard stiff clay which under
lies Il covering of two feet of soft sandy
loan. These holes were filled with ashes
and cindcrs among which were parts of
the skull, and horns of deer and bones of
other animals, though they showed no
signs of being burned on charred. On
top of these ashes the body was placed
and then covered with the sandy loan.
AT the bottom Of one of these graves
we found II pot made of clay, about TWEEN
ty-two inches in diameter by nine inches
deep, the sides of which were of clabor-
ate ornaincntat.on, the principal being a
carved face about every six inches around
the top. In the pot was the upper shell
of Il turtle, .aw bone of II squirrel and
several clam evidences Of food
placed in the grave for use on the jour
ney 70 the "hnppy hunting grounds"
The pottery consisted of three kinds
yellow, brown and black. The first was
for common use with but little ornameu
ta!ion; the second was ornamented to
some extent, but the last was the ROYAL
Worcester OF Indian art production, and
was, without doubt, placed in the graves
of these only who were greatly distim-
guishcd.
Among the articles found was a knife
made of copper roughly beaten out. The
blade WAS five inches long by one and :.
quarter inches broad, and lis dull, sand
stone sharpcncd edge must have required
strong muscular cxcrtion on ilc part OF
the operator to remove the scalp of his
dead enemy.
The graves are scattered over Il space
OF about ten acres, and are on what is
called the Island farm, which consists of
about ninety acres. The owner thinks
the entire island was burying ground.

How Trout Remember.

''Somc time before the death of Seth
| Green, the celebrated fish culturist and
naturalist said Il phiadclphian who
takes great interest in piscicut,iral mat.
tiers, II paid II visit with him to tie fish
hatchery Of New York State at Caledo-
MIA In one of the ponds there at that
time were 5000 large brook front, every
one Of which had been captured with the
iiy-ticd on barbicss hool:s-in unfrc-
quented brooks in the Adirondack re-
S!ons. These trout, Mr.. Green said, had
convinced him that fish have reasoning
power and memory. When they were
hooked, and were reelcd in slowly by the
careful fishermen who were capturing
them for the State pond, they had time
and opportunity to note the form and
character OF the tackle that made them
prisoners. According to Mr.. Green they
never forgot that experience.
''Thc trout had been in the pond long
time, the females never being allowed to
spawn there, ard would follow Mr.. Green
as he walked along the edge of the water
tossing bits Of liver into it. TO slow
that his theory about their memory was
correct, he would carry cane and fish
rod concealed behind his back. If he
took the cane from its conccalmcnt and
held it out over the water, the fish paid
nc attention to ii, but the moment he pro
duccd the rod with its reel and line at
iachcd, away the trout scampcrcd like a
lash to distant part OF the pond. Mr..
Green told me that he would permit any
one TO cast fly in that pond TO his hearts
content, as he was satisfied that rot one
OF the trout would come near it, so WV
idly did they remember their enemy OF
tive years ago. -PkiIadelj,hin Press.

many Of them know Just why they are
Scarce and expensive! How many of
them know, for Instance, that there are
two kinds of seal, the hair seal and the
fur seal! That the skin OF the hair seal
is absolutely worthless when compared
with that of the fur seal and is never
made into cloaks. IT. is coarse and
rough, AMI is generally tanned and used
Tor the manufacture of pocket books,

everywhere, while The fur seal are prac

Hundreds OF thousands of hair seals are
captured every year in the Northern AT.

the FUR seal has never been seen there.
There was Il time, however, when the fur
seal was found almost everywhere else.
Seals formerly aboundcd in the South
