conl and Cold Weather.

A careful and prolonged series of ex.
pcriments made in Germany appear to
furnish absolute proof that coal suffers
an important loss by continued ex-
posture to the weather. Anthracite
and camel suffer least, but ordinary
bituminous coal depreciates nearly
one-third in weight and nearly one
half in gas-maling property after
long exposure. Weather waste of soft
Goals is therefore always to be taken
into account in establishments where
large amonnt of coal is required.
The loss is believed to come from a
slow oxidation that takes place, the
consequence being the practical burn
ing of portion of the coal in the pile,
and the result is a lessened heating
capacity.

How Teeth Grow.

An eminent dentist is authority for
the following: at would take too
long to describe the formation of the
teeth, but it may interest you to know
that the enamel is derived in the first
place from the epithel gum, or scarf
skin, and is, in fact, modified skin,
while the dentine, of which the bulk
of the tooth is composed, is derived
from the mucus layer below the epithe-
lium. Lime salts are slowly deposited,
and the tooth pulp, or nerve, is the
last remains of what was once pulpy
mass of the shape of the future tooth,
and even the tooth pulp in the old
people sometimes gets quite obliter-
ated by calcarous deposits. The thirty
two permanent teeth are pre-
coded by twenty temporary deciduous
or milk teeth. These are fully erupted
at about two TO two and one-half
years old, and at about six years Of
age a wonderful absorption sets in, by
which the roots of the temporary teeth
are removed to make room for the adj
vancing permanent ones. The crowns
of the former, having no support, be-
come loose and fall away. One would
naturally suppose that the advancing

in the absorption of its temporary
predecessor, but we have many facts
to prove it has no influence whatever;
indeed, the interesting phenomena of
the eruption and succession of tee { h
are very little unders TODD. I may re-
mark in passing, that a child of six,
who has not yet lost any temporary
teeth. has in its jaws, either erupted or
Uninterrupted, no less than ffty-two
Geeth, more or less formed.

THE performance of the young
Newburger Donoghue in skating at
the rate of hundred miles in little
over seven hours, beating his Norwe-
gian competitor, as we'll as the Amer
lean who had held the worlds record
at 100 miles for fourteen years, is
so remarkable that some explanations
seem to be considered necessary.
His wonderful feat is in measure
accounted for by the fact that he
wore new skate, which resembles
the dull blade of a carving knife
about two feet long. 1t is said to
give the wearer about the same adj
vantage over his competitors on the
ice that the bicycle sulky gives the
trotter on the race track. The new
skate does not explain everything,
however. Young Donoghue has
shown himself to be very marvel
lous skater, and it will be long time
before his record is eclipsed.

ing that France regards its reply to the Ill
timatum as a refusal to grant the French
demands, and being most DESTROYS of main
tanning peace, has telegraphed instructions
to the Siamese minister at Paris to inform
NJ Devele, the French foreign minister,
that Siam accepts the ultimatum in its en-
tirety. The despatch adds that the Siam
ese governmental opes that the blockade
will cease, that diplomatic negotiations will
be resumed and that an early settlement of
the troubles will be effected.
1t is stated on good authority that
France demands as security from Siam that
the terms of the ultimatum will be carried
out, the temporary custody of Chantaboon,
town near the gulf of Siam; also that
Siam shall establish no military stations at
certain named places near the frontier of
Cambodia, or within certain distance of
the Mekong river. France intends to take
decisive steps to insure Slams carrying
out the terms of the ultimatum. The
blockade of the Siamese coast will be con-
tinued, it is said, until Frances demands
are satisfied. The French force now pres
ent in Siamese waters is believed to be suf-
ticient to make the blockade effective.
The uneasiness among the people at
Bangkok, far from lessening, is increasing.
Seven more French gunboats have arrived
at Koh-Si-Chang, making total of 10
now there. Negotiations are still going
on but the progress made is not reported.
The intentions of the French are awaited
with fear and apprehension.

Engl"nd's Legislators Exhibition of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Restored I'm the Name
of the Premier.
Inc British House of Commons repre-
sented a Donnybrook fair rather than n
dlgni1ed legislative body on Thursday
night of last week. On Tuesday Gladstone
mad given Sir Joseph Chamberlain severe
word-lashing, accusing him of not having
fought the home rule bill fairly, but of
having misconstrued everything that
would bear misconstruction, and misren-
resenting everything that could be misrep
resented. Thursday night when Mr..
Chamberlain rose to deliver the final
broadsde of the opposition, he spoke sa
tirically of Mr. Gladstone, declaring that
what he said was always the voice of God
AT this point his mark HNever since the
time of Herod" was interrupted by such a
roar from the Nationalist as has not been
heard in the House since the DAYS of Par
nell. I. p. O'Connor shouted Judas
so that the epithet could be heard through
out the House and the rest of the Irishmen
took up the cry. The clock had then
struck ten and the chairman Mellor tried
to put the closure, but his voice could not
be heard. Several of the conservatives
tried to have Mr.. Connor's statement re-
tracted, and in the excitement blows were
exchanged between Tory Ulstermen, sec
onded by some Conservatives, and the
members of the Irish national party.
Soon there was a grand fight, and curses,
yells of pain and gross insults rent
the air. Finally Mr.. Marjoribanks, a
sturdy Liberal, by repeated appeals in the
name of the premier succeeded in stem
ming the tide of the conflict. Mr. Balfour
had been absent during the riot. Mr..
Gladstone, sitting bolt upright, had watch
ed the scene with infamed face and an
expression of sorrow, Indignation, and
establishment which will never be effaced
from the memory of those observing it.
Chairman Melor sent for Speaker
Peel as soon as order who restored When
the speaker entered several Conservatives
rose and pointing to Mr. Gladstone ex-
claimed
"There sits the author of it all.
Speaker Peel, stern and dignified, took
the chair. Mr.. O'Connor apologized ''if
any words of his had contributed to bring
about this most regrettabe state of af-
fairs" Order was fully restored and
different schedules of the bill were voted
upon and carried. 1t should be said that
knock-downs were scored during the melee
and that after it was over several of the
contestants had badly bruised faces.

Only 100 National Hanks Have Failed
This Year.

This Year.
Because of the conflicting statements re-
garding the number of failures of national
banks, Comptroller Eckels has prepared
the following statement, which will un-
doubleday strengthen public confidence:
"Recent dispatches having appeared in the
newspapers to the effect that since January
/, 1893, 200 banks have failed, the follow
ing statement has been prepared that the
public may be properly informed:-
"Instead of the 200 having closed their
doors, but 105 have gone into the hands of
the comptroller of currency. Fourteen of
this number have already resumed bust
ness under favorable conditions, and pos
sessed of the confidence of the commune
ties where located, and during the ensu-
ing week it is expected several others will
have complied with the requirements of
the comptroller and re0pened, while prior to
Sept. an equal number will resume.
'Out of the total of los closed, but 81
have gone into the hands of receivers, the
balance either having re0pened or are still
in the hands of examiners with strong
prospects of reOpening. Five of the 10j
banks are capitalized in the amount of
81 100000 each; one at 100000, six at
$500, 600, 80 at $50, 600, and the remain
ing at 100000, S2j0,OOO, 100000 and
less, but more than $4,000; the greater
number, however, being from 500, 200 to
$4,000.
"By geographical sections the failures
are distributed as follows: New England
states, 2; eastern states, ,; middle and
Mississippi valley states, -; northwestern
states, 8; western states, %; southern
states, %; total, 10j.n
Mr.. Eckels makes this resume: Number
now in operation, 37Sj; number failed
since Jan. l, 1898, 10j; number re0pened,
IA; number in hands of receivers, 80 !;
number in hands of bank examiners. with
