A New York genius has invented n
machine for the self propulsion of
ships. 1t consists of long, strong plat
forms, rugged out on either side OF n
vessel, that rise and fall with the roll
of the waves and operate propeller.
The motion of these platforms in II
strong sea would be similar to that of
the pump handles of the old fashioned
fire engines when the "boys' were

well as to force it forward They would
operate in dead" calm nearly us well
as in storm, for the ocean is never ut

An EleYen.TOn Lnmp of Coal.

Ohio has added an eleven-ton lump
to its show in the mining building at
the Worlds Fair. 1t is chunk of
anthracite coal, dug in the Hooking
Valley region, and is thought to be
the biggest thing of its kind in the
world. 1t contains 5O4 square feet,
weighs 22,250 pounds, and one hunk
of this size would be sufficient to keep
an ordinary household warm for year.
The miners had much difficulty in
getting the piece out OF the ground.
They cut space along the sides
across the top, and then boltcd scant-
ling about it and shipped it as slab
of polished marble would be. There
are some chunks in the New South
Wales exhibit that are large, but this
hunk surpasses the story of the Oldest
miner. 1t took 500 to build the
foundation for it and the "e,t OF Ohio
