SUBMARINE MINING.
An Enterprise with some Novel Features
in New South Wales.

An Enterprise with Some Novel Features
in New South Wales.
It is proposed to carry into effect o
project which aims at bringing from
Sar below the lowest depths of Sydney
harbor, New South Wales, the coal
which geologists had predicted would
be found there, and which has actually
been tested by diamond-drill borings-
Transport, in recent issue, contains o
very aattering account Of the scheme
now being foated on the London mar
ket from which the following par
ticulars are obtained:
Important coal fields have been de-
veloped both north and south Of
Sydney-at Newcastle and Bulli-but
up to the present the Intervening area
zhas been left practically untouched,
although plainly shown on the govern
rent geological maps Of forty years
ago. The unquesttonable advantages
which would follow the opening Of
coal mines in the very heart Of the
capital Of the colony have led to the
formation Of company, and induce our
contemporary to take most sangutne
view Of the outlook. Sydney is an I'M
portant shipping port, where the lines
Of many steamship companies con-
verge, end the coal of the bed in ques-
|. tion Is IL demand tor bunker use and
export.
The borings were made under the
superintendent Of the miners depart
ment Of New South Wales, partly on
account Of geological interests and
partly With t very practical ulterior
view Of raising revenue. The seam
was found within 80 feet of the depth
predicted by the geologists, in bore
hole 2.7oo feet deep. For 1900 feet the
bori rings passed through compact
sandstone, claimed to be impermeable
to water. The seam itself Is 10 feet 8
inches thick, Of which feet is clean
coal free from sand. The shafts to be
sunk VIII be within 300 feet Of deep
water, so that the situation will be
Unique, the saving on cost Of transpor-
tation from the nearest mines now
working being about Is cents to 81 a
ton. The parent company has secured
surface site Of small extent, but has
concessions over 1,40O acres below
ground (and water), and it Is expected
That several other collieries will be
started, for which there IS said to be
room.
There Is nothing extraordinary In
mining under water, as implied ip the
statements. This has been done on the
Cornish coast and in the copper and
iron mines of Michigan at Silver islet,
Lake Superior, but the opening Of
greet collieries ip large shipping port.
With o delivery from the shaft mouth
directly into vessels alongside, is some
thing which only the mines of Wash
ington and British Columbia can rival.
It Is also proposed to utilize the smaller
coal, screened from the bunker coal,
for large electric Installation and also
10 make cokesand establish local snelt-
ing works.

NEW YORKS NAME.
Not So Bad as 1t Would Have Been Had
Forks Old Names Survived.

Not So Bad as 1t Would Have Been Had
york's Old Names Survived.
Now that New York's name is under
discussion, it is well to be thankful that
the contraction Of old York's original
Eurewic took place before the qualify
ing New" was added, for if Yorkis bad,
New Eurewic would be unbearable,
says the Sun. York's still earlier name
OF Eboracum would have gone no bet
ter with New" end her Celtic name
Of Caer Ebroc would have been even
worse than any Of the others with
third element preixed. The syllable
'.wic," which has almost disappeared
in the contraction of Eurewic to York, is
rather the Saxon vic, meaning an abid-
ing place, than the Danish wick, mean
ing a station for ships, surely an ap-
propriate sutfix for so great seaport
as the chief commercial city OF the new
world.
New York is really no worse Off,
however, IN the matter Of its name than
good many other cities are or have
been. York, with or without the New,
is better than Midtown, which Is no un-
fair translation Of Lutetia, the ancient
Roman. name for Paris, bestowed upon

takes It's name from the fortified hill:oS

now stands. Dublinis aname conceal
ing two unattractive syllables meaning
the black pool, and Liverpool is literal
" the pool OF the living creatures, so
called because wild fowl abounded
upon the waters Of pool near the site
Of the city. Brussels is conjectured to
mean either swamp or thicket, and
Rome may be merely the early Latin
equivalent Of the crossroads from the
fact that the local lines Of travel met
at the Forum Berlin is eonjectured
to mean the short lake. Other guess
ers take it as the free and open place,
the river island and the marshy spot.
Names that are commonly accepted
as Of but single word often contain a

The Great Increase In the Number OF
Cases Of PaTesis-
Ip connection with the cock-sure
statement Of Mr.. Howells, says the,
Medical Record. that the present race
was never 50 healthy and strong as
now, it is interesting to read the fol-
lowing paragraph written by Dr.. T.
S. Clouston, superintendent of the
Morningside asylum, Scotland. He
says:
lone terrible SesWes brain disease,
with mental symptoms, Is certainly in
creasing. That malady might
be described as breakdown Of the
great center Of the mind and motion in
the brain It always goes on from bed
to worse until 1t renders it's victim ut
terly helpless IN mind and body and
kills him In o. ,ssg years No cure and
scarcely any mitigation of this latter
day curse has got eea7devised. It is o
disease. Of cities, Of restless lives, OF
active brains in their prime; sometimes
Of dissipation and debauchery, Of life
at high pressure. commonly
During the past year the asylums Of
Scotland received $50 new cases; those Of
England, -1,4oo cases, and those Of Ire
Land, SO, The asylum statistics Of this
country show an even greater number.
In a single asylum in this state, for
example, that of Ogdenburg. there
were among e5e-admissions 81 cases Of
general paresis. This would make the
proportion of general. paresis over per
cent -
Among seven state asylums, to which
i,s4e patients were admitted in 1890,
there were 60 cases Of general paresis,
Or little over per cent. If per
cent. be the general ratio Of this dis
ease IN the state Of New York, then the
total number Of paretics among the
$4,000 insane would be about e4o. AS @
matter Of fact, the number is greater,
because Che proportion, Of this disease
Is larger in the New York and Kings
county asylums than in those Of the state
at large. But even If there were but
1000 cases of general parests among
the 100000 insane people Of this couu-
try it would be the extraordinary evil
6ence Of the development Of disease
which in the last century was certainly
not known even If it did exist.
