GREAT COAL CONSUMERS.
Immense Amount of Fuel Used on Large
Ocean Liners.

Immense Amount of Fuel Used on Large
Ocean Liners.
Ocean steamships consume much
more fuel than the average person is
aware of. Take for an instance the
vessels of the Orient line, which make
regular trips between Australia and
Great Britain. The fastest steamer of
that line, says the st. Louis Republic,
is the Austral, which makes the voyage
from London to Sydney in SIS days.
During the "trip out" she never uses
less than 1850 tons of coal, and on the
return voyage often as much as 1000
tons. She has three coaling stations,
and bunliers that will hold 1880 tons
without overcrowding. English-Amer-
lean liners" like the Oregon consume
$50 tons of coal per day for every day
between Liverpool and New York.
The Sterling Castle went to China for Il
load of tea. She brought back cargo
of 1920 tons of that staple Chinese COM
modify, but consumed 5000 tons of coal
in making the round trip from Liver
pool. Immense stocks of coal are con-
stantly kept on hand at st. Vincent,
Madeira, Port Said, Singapore and other
Oriental coaling stations, there being
often as much as 100000 tons in store
at the last named place.

A FAIRY L.AMPLIGHTER.
An Ingenious Little Story of tho Last
Hours of the Poet Keats.

| An Ingenious Little Story of tho Last
Hours of the Poet Keats.
Affection often inspires ingenuity. In
a recent life of Joseph Severn the mar
rative of the artists care of the poet
Keats in his last illness includes new
and graceful incident, says the Phila-
delphia Record. Severn, worn out with
watching and tireless service, would
sometimes drop asleep and allow the
candle to go out, thus leaving the sick
man in darkness, which he dreaded.
Realizing that this was liable to occur,
Severn hit upon happy device to keep
the light still burning. One evening he
fastened thread from the bottom of
the candle, already lighted, to the wick
at the top of another unlighted one set
ready near by. Not being sure that
the experiment would succeed, hs had
not mentioned it. and when, later on,
he fell mapping as the first candle was
burning low, the invalid was too con-
siderate to awake him, but lay patient
ly. awaiting the extinction of the flick
ering flame. Suddenly, just as he ex-
pected gloom and blaclness, the con-
Meeting tllrcad-too fine and distant
for him to see-caught fire and tiny
spark began to run along it. Then he
walked the sleeping nurse with an ex-
clamation of j -ul surprise.
Severn! Severn!' he cried. "Heres
little fairy lamplighter actually lit up
the other candle!"
But it was only the good fairy Of
many sick rooms, loving forethought,
that lighted the candle.

FROM THE MOON TO IOWA.

believe it is now pretty generally
! admitted that acrolites or meteorites
come from volcanoes on the moon.
One of the most remarkable of these
falls OF stones from the upper region of
the air occurred in May, 1879, the stone
falling upon the farm of Mrs. C. H..
Perry, of Emmett county, Iowa.
Efforts were made to have the stone
removed to the museum of the Daven-
port 1a.) Academy of Science, but as
such proceeding would entail an ex-
pense of something like 5000 the moss
backs of that institution let the scheme
fall through, the attempt to raise the
money having resulted i'll fiat failure.
Finally Mr.. Berge, of Keoluk. made
a trip to Emmett county for the pur-
pose Of inspecting the curiosity, says
the Philadelphia Press.
After giving it thorough chemical
examinati on he came to the conclusion
that 1T was wholly unlike anything in
the aerolite line that had ever been
attracted to our globe. BY fine sys-
TEN of chemical tests he found that it
was composed of earth, triolite, iron.
nickel, cobalt, gold, silver, magnesia,
alumina, soda, hthia and potassium.
Berge bought the oddly of Mrs, Perry
for S1eO, and gave the tenant of the
farm $50 more for his fright" and his
help.
1t was removed to Keokuk and ex-
hbited there for some time. At last
the curators of the British museum,
who had learned of the odd combine
ton OF minerals in the stones makeup,
sent an agent to purchase it. After
much pickering the royal institution
gave Mr.. Berge $4,000 for his moon
stone" 1t weighed 431 pounds.

the lungs the nose is the principal organ

OUR INLAND NAVIGATION.
Great Commercial Possibilities Before the
American Republic.
The great waterways of this country
are capable of wonderful growth and
improvement. The recent disasters
upon the Mississippi should be guarded
against as much as circumstances will
allow.
And speaking of the Mississippi, the
day is not far distant when its northern
arm will be connected with our inland
oceans and ship may sail from New
Orleans to Chicago. Then will come
the Nicaragua canal, by which that.
same vessel may proceed directly into
the Pacific and down the western coast
of South America.
There is no doubt, says the New York
Ledger, that ship canal will be cut
from the lakes to the Atlantic. Con-
gress has already been asked to provide
for surveys and make estimates, and
when Brother Jonathan gets SO far, the
end is assured. Canada is charging
those waterways which would admit
British war vessels from the St. Law
renee river to these lakes, and at pres
ent we have no avenue of approach.
Under these conditions, in few years
from date, the grayhounds of the ocean
will traverse lakes Erie, Huron, Michi-
gan and Superior, anchoring in Chicago
and Duluth. A direct connection, via
the enlarged Erie canal and the Hudson
river, will open up another stream for
traffic to New York. Talk of ship
building and revived maritime interestsl
What will one behold who lives another
fifty years? That not only railways but
naval supremacy belongs to this repub-
lie. And that supremacy will entail a
Importance which to-day is
only feebly Swallowed.
