A Colossal Cotton Fire.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. G.--Three cotton
warehouses on Juniper street were
burned last night. with | | 200 bales Of
cotton. Loss ESQ, 900. The walls OF
one wberehouse bulged out and fell upon
a part OF iremen, killing three and &C.
rlously injuring a number Of others.
The fire, which was confined within
the walls Of the three warehouses burned
itself out at about 2 o'OclOck this after
noon. The salvage will be trifllng.
LATEK.-It is now stid that there
were ~, 600 bales of cotton in the build
lngs, all of which was DESTROYED. 1t
was the largesv fire that has occurred in
Liverpool since the burning of the land.
ing stige in 1874. 1t Is believed that
that fire was smOldering among the cot
ton for hours before it was discovered.
The cotton was slowed close TO the
walls, and when the water soaked into
the bales it caused them TO swell greatly,
and this ls thought had much TO DO with
the wall falling upon the flremen.

\ DifnCult PrOblem.

Weighing the earth is a problem
which has often interested and amused
scientists, and various efforts have been
made to determine with some degree of
accuracy the probable approximate
weight of the globe on which we live.
I'm l772 series of curious experiments
was made by Prof. Maskelyne in
Mount Schihallion, in Scotland, by
which he determined the singular fact
that the attraction exerted by the
mountain mass on the plumb line
'auscd it to deviate nearly six seconds
from the perpendicular. Long and alb
Strnse calculations followed, on the de-
tails OF which it is not necessary to
dwell, but the result was, taking the
diameter Of the earth rs 7,912.4I miles
and the weight OF cubic foot Of water
as 62.32 pounds, the weight of the earth
was calculated to be 5,S42, 900, ,O0O, 900,
000, ,000, 900 tons of 9 ,240 pounds each.

The south,s Coal Deposits.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan 6.-The
Tradesman in its annual review for
1898. just published, says that the coal
deposits Of the Southern States are es.
tlmated from its returns TO underlie
62 345 square miles Of territory.
Southern coal mining was ?Ot prose
cuted extensively until 1880, when the
output was 3.944 255 tons. In 1890 H.
b4O.283 tons were mined, and the output
Tor 1872 Is estimated at l9,2Ol POO tons
west Virginia is at present the largest
producer of coal, followed by Alabama
Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia. Texas,
Arkansas and Georgia in the order
named.
When the extensive improvements in
river navigation, now under way, are
hnished it IS believed that Alabama and
tennessee coal can be delivered at tide
water for expectation at from Sl6O TO
$2 per ton.
Coke manufacture in the South, the
Iradesman says, is of recent origin, not
reaching 100000 tons till 1876. From
1883 steady increase is shown, In
that year 1,030,642 tons of coke were
made In 1890 1854 1928 tons, and the
manufacture of coke for 1892 is estj-
mated at 4,250,OO0 tons.
The figures given show that a ton of
coke weighing 1000 pounds req Tires an
average of 3,110 pounds of Southern
coal and costs $1667. Alabama coke,
analyzing 91.60 per cent of pure carbon,
Is now regularly produced.
