THE CASE OF SpOTFORD.

Wellman's Washington Letter.
Many stores have been printed concern
ing Librarian Spofford's wonderful men,
ory and his knowledge of the whereabouts
of books and phamplets in the overgrown,
crowded. tumble-tumblety library. 1t
would be almost impossible to eXaggerate
these stories, for | have personally tested
Mr. SpofTOrds powers of memory. lie
not only knows where every book Is, but
appears to be fully familiar with its con-
tents, its various editions, its author, Its
merits and dement's. Mr.. Spofford is a
library in himself. Some critics have
pointed out the evils arising from keep
ing Il man so long In one post that he
finally imag!nes himself life fixture and
that he has a sort of proprictorsh,p right
over the property intrusted to his care.
There is some pcrt.nence in this as to Mr.
Spoffords case, but to offset IL he has
been the faithful and pa.nstaking ser
want OF public men having occasion t0
search for information, an indcfat!Sablt
worker to stnve off chaos in the fas,
growing and ill-equipped library and Il
friendly guide to !nnumerable young mer
and women seeking helpful literature.

John Stauffer has made an impor-
tant discovery of anthracite coal on his
farm. back of Cherry Run. w. Va,
twenty miles south of Hagerstown.
With the aid of his son and one hired
man HE has mined during the past two
or three months twenty tons of coal.
and landed the same at the top of a
50-foot shaft by hand. The coal was
carefully covered, and the mining went
on in the strictest secrecy by the light
of AN ordinary coal oil lamp. Stauffer
has now started from the bottom of
the shaft to tunnel into the mountain.
The vein is very thick, and the coal
has been pronounced equal tn the
Shamokin Valley product. Stauffer's
tract embraces 200 acres, but the land
is poor and his means are limited.
Some time ago options were secured on
neghboring lands, but prospecting met
with no results. Before Stauffer had
Investigated the extent of the vein he
is now working he tried to enlist the aid
of local capitalists in the formation
of q company, but was not successful.
After this he started right in to work.
keeping his movements secret and
making, 1t is said, surprising discov-
cries.
Washington Post: 1.-THE wonders OF
modern engineering were eloQuently and
impressively discussed in one of the pa
pors read before the American Association
for the Advancement of Science at It's re-
cent session. Referring to coal as pre-
served plant tissue. the speaker said that
man can mine enough OF it in Il day to
obtain l33 horse power for ten hours and
that product of one mans work for one
day is equal to the physical labor of l,SoO
men for u ten-hOur day. In Great Britain.
the speaker said. coal does the work of
10000, 900 men. We have seen no estimate
of the amount of work reckoned on this
basis, which coal performs i'm the United
States, but II must be equal to many times
the number of men enrolled by the census
takers. The superiority of Americans in
| the matter of labor-saving devices for
agricultural work was shown by the state
ment that one American farmer raises as
| much grain as three in England, four in
| France, five in Germany and six in Aus
| tria; that in the Uo'ted States. one man
| can raise food for 30 persons. whereas in
| Europe the feeding capacity of one man Is
| limited to thirty persons. In conclusion
| the speaker made the cheering prediction
| that I'm the end the advance of engineer
ing will obliterate the line between capital
| and labor in a manner satisfactory to all
| concerned This IS totally discordant with
| the views of those pessmist.c writer's
| who descant upon the irrepressible con-
| fi!ct between man and machine and in
| every laborsaving invention new de-
vice for the oppression OF the working
millions. But it accords with the lessons
| of experience, and that fact Is its ample
| vind.catiOn."

The king took up his glass, but find
ing it empty, flung 1t angrily on the
floor where 1t shivered to fragments
at Count Nikolas' feet: and he shifted
in his chair and cursed softly under
his breath. Nikolas sat with the dice
box in his hand and a smile ON his lips;
for he knew that the king could not
pay, and therefore must play. and he
was In the vein and did not doubt win
ming from the king Zenda and its de-
mesne. Then he would be the greatest
lord in the kingdom and hold for his
own a kingdom within the kingdom
and the two strongest places In all the
land And a greater prize might then
dangle in reach of his grasp.
"The devil spurs and l gallop," said
the king at last. And he took up the

and ratified the dice inside them. The
king threw; his throw was a six and a
five, and a sudden gleam of hope lit
up his eyes: he leant forward in his
chair. gripping the elbows of it with his
hands; and his cheek flushed and his
breath came quickly. With ibow

threw The dice fell and rolled on the

count said. with smile of apology and
a shrug of his shoulders:

For Count Nikolas of 'Festenburg had
thrown skies, and thereby won from
the king the castle and demesne Of Zen
da. And he rose from his chair, and
having buckled on his sword that had
lair on the table by him and taken his
cap in his hand, stood looking down on
the king with a malicious smile on his
face. And he said with a look that had
more mOckery than respect in it:

matters to transact in Strelsau, and
would be at my castle of Zenda to-
night"
Then King Rudolph took a sheet of
paper and wrote an order that the
castle and all that was in 1t and all
the demesne should be surrendered to
Count Nikolas of Festenburg on his de-
mand. and he gave the paper to Niko-
las. Then he rose up and held out his
hand, which Nikolas kissed. smiling
covertly. and the king said with grace
and dignity:
Cousin, my castle has found a more
worthy master. God give you joy of
it." And he motioned with his hand
to be left alone. Then when the count
had gone he sat down in his chair
again and remained till it was full day
neither moving nor yet sleeping. And
there he was found by his gentlemen
when they came to dress him. but none
asked him what had passed.
Count Nikolas,. now lord of Zenda,

long in Strelsau; but in the early morn

RAILROAD NOTES.

It may not be generally known that
locomotives destined for exceedingly
fast runs require training, as do horses
for racing, but such Is the fact. When
a locomotive Is built for speed 1t is first
put to work on some small branch line
with light trains and kept there until
it becomes thoroughly accustomed to
running and all parts are brought
down to their proper bearings. 1t Is
then taken on more important portions
of the lines and gradually worked up
by increasing speed until 1t is finally
given it's place on the great flyers"
1t takes several weeks to train a loco
motive to really fast running.
If railroad speed continues to in
crease at the present rate, the two
miles minute steam engine may he
here as quickly as the mile I'm two min
utes trotting horse. The recent great
runs on the Northwestern and Great
Northern roads from London to Aber-
deem have attracted the attention OF
railroad men here, and 1t Is not unlike
ly that something will be done soon
to bring 1.-THE speed record back to
America. The American railroad men
do not admit that the record has ever
left here. All they will admit Is that
for $40 miles an English train has made
faster run than any American train
ever did for the same distance, and
one reason no American train has ever
done 1t, they say. Is that there does
not happen to be any stretch of track
$40 miles long, except on the Lake
Shore road. The officials of that road
do not believe in extraordinarily fast
time, and will not permit trains on
their road to made record time. The
fastest train they ever ran was the
Chicago flyer. during the Worlds
Fair. That train made the run from
New York to Chicago In twenty hours.
In discussing fast running IL might
be timely to remark that the Lacka-
wanna. while 1t does not boast of any
unusual bursts of speed. can. neverthe-
less. do so If it wished to. The man
agement contents itself with simply
convincing the travelling public that
Delaware, LackaWanna and Western
trains are not liable to rear end col
lisions from a funeral procession. Be
tween New York and Buffalo 1t has a
train service and road bed that cannot
be cXcelled, and this together with
the fact that hard coal only IL used
makes 1t the most popular with trav-
cling men of experience. During the
