The Oldest Herbariunl.

The oldest herbarium in the world is
in the Psychologist Museum at Cairo,
aud consists OF an incouspiCuous collcc-
ton of dried portions of plants. These
portions of plants and ilowers were taken
from wrcaths and garlands in the coifins
with mummics, where they were placed
by the ancient Egyptians as death offer.

set in earthen vessels ON tho floor of the
sepulchre rs tue Iutuisu'o "a 49, t.:
resting place of their beloved ones.
Many of these floral remains are so well
preserved that, after being treated with
warm water, they can be handled like
modern herbarium specimens. The
colors, too, are preserved in a relnarka-
bic way. The most important matter ia
connection with these plants is theu
ace. The remains Of funeral food arc
found in tombs rs far back as 5000 years
before Christ. Five hundred years later
grains of mustard seed, capsules of flax
seed, gourds, lcntils, beans, figs, pino
needles, juniper berries and other cdibles
are found. The richest acquisitions in
leaves and flowers to the hcrbarium were
made from the tombs constructed be-
tween the eighteenth and eleventh CEN
,urics b. G. Among tho flowers chiefly
employed in floral decorations for the
dead were the blue aud white lotus, the
rel poppy, the Oriental hollyhock, crown
chrysanthcmum, saifiower, pomegranatt
flower, willow leaves, grasses and pep
permlnt. Celery leaves came into rcquisl-
tion later, and onions, leeks and garlic
played IN important part in the offerings
to the dead. One of the general conclu-

The Worlds Consumption OF Coal.

A statistician has lately been engaged
in estimating the worlds consumption of
coal. He divides his figures into four
groups, embracing respectively the guam
tity Of coal used in heating steam boil
ers, in the production Of gas, in the ex-
traction of metals from their ores, and
for household purposes. 1t may be
taken, he says, that the total steam en-
gine capacity OF the globe is equivalent
to 100000 horse po wer, and that,
having regard to the utilization of other
fuels, the quantity of coal burned with
the object of producing steam averages
A pounds per horse power per hour, or
au hourly aggregate of $4,000 tons. In
all probability, however, this is an under
estimate, as the efficiency of the worlds
steam engines is calculated by some to
be 10000, COO horsepower. With re-
spcct to the manufacture of gas, the
hourly consumption Of the illuminating
acriform fluid is gwen as 5, 600, 600 cubic
metres, which would necessitate the dis.
tilation OF at least 10, 900 tons of coal
per hour. More difficult to calculate is
the consumption of coal for the produc.
tion of power and heating gas; it may
bc estimated, our authority thinks, at
1900 tons per hour. A largo quantity
of coal is used in the reduction of metals
from their ores. 1t is calculated that in
this way some 5000 tons of the mineral
are consumed every hour. A special os
innate gives the quantity burnt hourly
by works and factories at 5000 tons.
The most difficult calculation is that of
the domestic consumption of coal. 1t is
estimated at 55, 900 tons per hour, or
1890, 600 tons per day of twenty -four
hours. This figure, however, appears
rather small considering that in Great
Britain and Germany alone the daily
output of coal in recent years has aver
aged GOO, 900 tons, and that the extrac-
tion in all other countries may be rcck.

OF African pigmies. They are aIl war

Francois were astounded to see the Batus
scramble out on boughs overhanging ens

over the whole southern part OF the
Congo basin, and doubtless much sd-
ditional information about them will DO

Very little is known of them ut present
except the fact of their existence.
Schlitcher says that, like the Akka aud
the Wambutti, their intercourse with
.he various tribes OF ordinary stature
among whom they live is usually of
friendly nature, partly because the Bautu
tribes are afraid Of them and partly
because the pigmies supply these
tribes with flesh aud skins in ex-
:han2e for vegetable food. cook
ing pots, and other articles that may be
.egarded as among the 'uxuries of Afri-
san pigmy life. Moreover, they are
thoroughly at home in the forest, aud
are, therefore, valuable to their Bantu
friends as spies aud scouts IN time Of
'suds and warfare. The sites Of their
,ncampments and villages arc always
carefully selected to prevent surprise,

dnct language of their own, of which
We have little knowledge.
1t is now very generally believed that
Ill these dwarf tribes are the remnant of
he original population of Africa, who,
aauy centuries ago, were decimated and
widely scattered by the intrusion of
stronger peoples. While there is no di-
ect evidence proving this hypothesis,
here are circumstances which give it
much strength, and among them is the
inprobabiliry that the various scattered
pigmy tribes could have immigrated into
'erritories already occupied by the Bantu,
