TurnIng Turf Into CoaI.

Another plan for turning to account
forces of nature as yet dimly under
stood is reported from Scandinavia,
where a savant has discovered method
of converting turf into coal The turf
is placed in retorts and gradually
heated TO 800 degrees The retorts
are then closed aud tho temperature
kept up for seven hours. The tar and
gas products are thus retained in the
coal mass to the extent of eighty per
cent, and the resultant is said TO con
tain sixty-iiye per cent. of carbon, six
per cent. of hydrogen, 81 water aud
five per cent. of ashes. Turf coal
gives about the same amount of heat
as seconds and has been tested both in
Krupp's iron foundry and for domestic
purposes,

Trolley service without Wire,

The electric trolley system to be in
troduced in Paris in time for the In
ternational Exposition of 1900 is vast
ly different from that commonly en-
ployed in the United States, inNsmuch
as the dangerous overhead wires are
absolutely done away with, according
to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The
new system is the inveption of the
French engineer, Bochet, aud, while
rather simple, it steers clear of the oh.
lection of unsightly obstruction which
is usually raised when overhead wires
have to go up. Bochet establishes
overhead contacts from electric lamp.
posts belonging to the city, the dis.
tance between posts being somewhat
smaller than the length of the electric
train, consisting of two or three cars,
so that contact is always assured at
one point at least. Through flexible
points of contact suspended from each
electric light post along the proposed
line the current will be taken up by
means of copper rail fastened along
the edge of the roof of the car not less
than fourteen or fifteen feet from the
ground. The contact point will slide
along that copper rail aud there is not
the slightest difficulty in establishing
continuous current if the points OF
contact are made sufficiently elastic.
The current is allowed to return to
the power station through the track Of
the line, as usual. This system Of
fers all the benefits of the overhead as
well as of the underground systems
without any of their shortcomings.

What Your Teeth Can Tell.

cit il possible" said well-known
dentist, for n medical man to tell
more of the disposition and constitu-
ton of a person by the teeth than by
any other part of the body.
1.-The first thing that an army doctor
does when man is brought up for en-.
listment is TO look at his teeth. If they
show any signs of decay, it is evident
that the mans constitution is delicate,
and his services as a. soldier are inn
mediately declined. Men with irregu-
lar teeth teeth uneven and imperfect
are declined by medical men where
there are arduous duties to perform.
1t is said to be sign of bodily weak.
ness.
Another popularity noticeable in
many persons is a spotted tooth. This
is tooth covered with dark specks,
and is usually found among persons OF
weak intellect; it is in fact, a sign Of in,
sanity Large teeth show braininess,
more especially if they be regular, A
set of perfect teeth is the surest sign Of
a good constitution.

Currency of Palestine.

Business is much transacted in
gold francs, there being much more
French than Turkish gold in circula-
ton. An anomalous financial condi.
tion exists in that, in smaller transac-
tions, the plaster is the unit of value
and its value is variable. Thus in
converting American gold into francs,
a loss of three and one-half per cent.
is sustained. If the conversion is
made into Turkish piasters, the loss
is seven per cent.
As so much of the business is done
by local money changers rather than
legitimate banking concerns, it is
difficult to know the exact amount OF
money in circulation. The banking
capital of Palestine is about $400, 900.
The actual amount of money in circu.
lation has been estimated, after care.
full inquiry, to be about 50, 600, 900.

The American Agriculturist remarks;
The English cooperative congress.
which has been in session this month
at Perth, brought out more forcibly
the astonishing success of cooperation
in this country. The English whole.
sale society, which supplies nearly
1000 local cooperative stores, reports
gratifying increase in its business,
while the Scottish wholesale society is
doing seventy-fve per cent. more trade
this year than last, These great whole.
sale associations have such an excess
of capital that they are employing it
to manufacture their own goods, The
success of these cooperative manufac-
turing enterprises is quite astonishing.
Indeed, the whole movement has now
reached such headway that storekeep-
ers aud manufacturers are trying to
ripple or restrict cooperation. Ihis
b not surprising when we reflect that
the Scottish wholesale is doing cash
business Of over $500, 600 a week,
while the English wholesale society
business reaches about $50, 900 a year.
The oo-operators are now turning THEN
attention to agriculture, and during
the past three years have established
a great number of cooperative cream
cries in Ireland to furnish butter direct
to English consumers. Further co
operation among farmers is being
planned The present position Of co
operation in England is an inspiration
for all our American farmers, who
realize that the wy out of our presen
difficulties is for our people TO tax,
hold comparatively to help themselves
aud help each other.
