Gu. Mineral Production.

FIR. Richard p. Rothwell, editor Of
The Engineering and Mining Journal,
has prepared for the forthcoming volume
OF .'The Mineral Industry" an ex-
haustive chapter on the products Of our
mines for 1892 5. The growth of Ameri-
can mineral industry, is unparalleled in
the worlds history. Fifty years ago it
was of little value, now it outranks that
of any other country and is nearly as
great as that of France, Great Britain
and Germany all put together. In the
production of coal, however, Great
Britain still exceeds US. How vast the
British coal mining industry is may be
gathered from the fact that her annual
output is now more than 1870 900, 900 tons
year. That is to say, the little kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland has coal
mines producing more every year than
the mines of our whole country do. The
main reason is that our mines are not
yet fully developed, although we dig
now eight times as much coal as we did
, oV CdlS dSOs
The hard times have of course affect
ed our mineral output. In the last half
of 1898 our iron production fell off enor-
mously and suddenly. Our combined
metal and mineral prod decreased
in 1898 over SIS, 100000. Metals fell off
more than minerals, such as slate, soap
stone, soda and sulphur. Of the $780,
100000 loss more than $50, 100000 was
caused by shrinkage in value and the
consequent diminished production of
pig iron alone. Because of this falling
off in pig iron cokemaking declined in
value 100000. This affected, of
course, bitumindus coal, of which there
was mined in 1898 $6,000,000 worth less
than in 1892. The prospect is that the
showing will be still smaller for 1894,
especially if the bituminous coal strike
continues long.
Looking over Mr.. Rockwell's carefully
prepared tables, we find that the mining
OF two products has increased in spite of
hard times. One of these, it is cheerful
to perceive, is gold. Three millions
more Of it were mined in 1898 than in
1892. The other increase is in anthracite
coal, the production of which increased
IN value over that OF 1892 by 81 ,00O,O 900.
Silver declined $6,0C0O0O.

Drop Their Tails and Scamper.

When suddenly frightened, lizards will

The discarded member, bouncing up and

A Chinese Labor Strike.
Some of our coal miners and mechant
les who claim it as their republican
privilege to quit work whenever they
please may perhaps like to know what
would happen to them if they struck in
the Chinese empire. Thousands of car
penters and other mechanics have been
for some time engaged in repairing the
imperial palaces at Picking. The stables,
Conservatives and even the Lighthouses
had to be gone over, patched up and
decorated in the latest style of Chinese
high art.
In the midst of their task the laborers
grew discontinued. Perhaps some oc-
cult wave from the coal strike in Amer
lea was waited through the air across
the Pacific and struck their little yellow

laborers to strike out. They laid down
their tools and vowed by all the orthodox
gods, and Shinto deities besides, and the
spirits Of their defunct ancestors, that
they would not do a lick of work till
they got higher wages.
Mark the result: The emperor heard
of it. He ordered in detachments Of
fresh laborers. He issue6 at the same
time his mighty decree that his soldiers
and police should arrest every son Of q
pigtail who was caught interfering with
the progress Of the work. TrembingsY

they will be dead too. The dispatch

RUSSELL 81. CONwEIT,

RUSSELL 81. CONWELL. c hurch-the
Grace Baptist, at the corner of North
Broad and Berks streets-he has built
up college, chartered by the state,
with curriculum modelled after Prince
toms, where 100 students are taking
the regular college course, and where
5, 800 others are getting instruction day
after day and night after night in all
sorts OF studies, practical and otherwise.
This college has faculty of 40 profess
ors, who give their whole attention to
this work. The students are the plain
people-the poor-and each pays SIS a
year tuition, and with these fees and
gifts that are coming in all the time the
college is self supporting. Next fall it
is expected that the college will have
5000 students. In addition to all this,
the church supports public hospital Of
% beds.
The church building is practically a
club. Its basement is fitted up in vari-
Gus suits Of rooms, where the members
spend their afternoons and evenings. In
one part OF the building the business
men have their room, where they sit
and chat or read or hold meetings of
various kinds. Over in another part of
the place the young men or young wom-
en- have their social apartments. The
boys OF the church have a military or
ganization and drill regularly, and the
athletic association has it's own athletic
ground.
DIR: Conwell, the man who has accom-
plished all this, started to preach in
Philadelphia 10 years ago with a church
OF 80 members. He had been preacher
only about two years before he went to
Philadelphia. Before that he had been
lawyer for 10 years in Boston and be-
tore that reporter, an editor and SOL
der He is self made man and was
born on farm in Worthington, Mass
Of years ago. He was a student at Yale
when the war came on, and at the age
OF 10 he led company from Massa-
chusetts to the field. He saw the sharp
est kind of service and during his SOL
der career was wounded twice. He
came out Of the war a lieutenant colonel.
Dr. Conwell's church is known as The
Temple, and his college is Incorporated
as Temple college. His salary is $1o,-
900 a year, but with his lectures he
| earns $25, 900 probably. To run the
church costs $4,000 a year. To run
the college costs $4,000. To run the
Samaritan hospital costs $4,000. For
five years DR.. Conwell supported the
college himself, giving part Of his salary
and the proceeds Of his lectures to it.
DR.. Conwell is not a sensational
preacher in the generally accepted use
Of that term. He often speaks on topics
Of current interest, but he also breaches
what might be called doctrinal sermons.
He has a slow, deliberate speech, res
onant voice, uses the simplest words,
recites anecdotes, gives much popular
information in his talks, rises to elo-
quence occasionally and always speaks
extemporaneously.

Frank James, the surviving brother of
Jesse James, whose reputation for nerve
was second to no mans, tainted under so
harmless a weapon as vaccine quill. He
arrived with his horses from Nashville,
and before being admitted to the fair
grounds was compelled to submit to vac
cination because of the presence of small
pox in the stables. AS soon as the quill
had touched his arm he tainted away, and
it was some time before he was revived.

A Word on Exports.

A free trader is always telling us that
under protection we are not able to sell
our goods in foreign markets, but that if
we have free trade we shall be able to
sell in every market in the world. Dur
ing the last 20 years England has been a
free trade country while America has
been protected. We can see how the ex-
ports Of the two countries have increased
from the following figures:
England. America.

It thus appears that during these 90
years tho average increase Of exports has
been only q per cent in free trade Eng

WHY Olives Are Cheap.

$40 you know what makes picked
olives 50 cheap" the furnisher of de-
lectables said the other day. You
wouldn't expect a California olive
grower to get rich when his olives are
sold at little more than the cost of
the brine. will tell you a secret-the
trick in the olive trade. Down in the
Genesee valley there are great fruit
farms. There is one grower who has
thirty acres of plum trees, seven
thousand of them now bearing. Each
one yields three or four bushels of green
plums. The plums are olive-shaped,
they are picked when green, sold to
buyer who puts them IN fancy labeled
bottles or in kegs, and they are sold for
olives. They SO much resemble the
genuine that no one but an epicUre can
detect that they are not Tricks in all
trades, aren't there?"-Bufalo News.
