Editor MacGowan, of The (hu,,,-

upon The rapid development of the
coal industry in this section. TO point
out briefly some Of the most significant
OF these figures, the editor states thai
out OF 100000 square miles embraced
W'nlh the aggregate coal area of The
ohl'cd States, the South alone contains
n'o,ooo square miles, or 10 per cent. of
The entire area.

that the South produced 80 },l75 900
tons, or "a per cent. of the aggregate
national product. While the output Of
all the coat mines in the country has
steadily increased during The past few
years, the Southern industry has d, =

that OF any other section. Indeed. at
The present tImc, the South is not only
supplying lis own needs, but is even
supplying large quantities Of coal to
foreign markets.
Or course in some Of the States Of
this section the development Of the
coal industry has been much moro
rapid than II others. For example, in
the State OF Alabama only 1913 900 tons
OF coal were produced in 1880, barely
enough to make any impression what
ever upon the market; but in 1896 the

A SEA OF HrHAHFH..

On the evening Of November, 2Sth, 1873,
a fire broke out III the British ship Melanie,
loaded with 500 barrels of petroleum. An
awful mass Of flames shot up from the main
hatch and the vessel quivcred from stem to
stern with explosion Of the barrels Her
seams opened and the blazing petroleum
poured out into the river, spreading a belt
of fire around her. The master and scamcn
jumped overheard. Captain Sharp, whose
vessel was lying closely, propelled small
boat through the blazing river and after a
severe scorching and Imminent peril saved
the scamen from horrible death.

ENOLC rION OF THE EDITOR.

Journalism.

er and the Changes in Modern
journalism.
George S. Wolshons, one of the best
known and witticst OF Pennsylvania
newspaper r.1n, recently delivered
himself O. the following in response
10 tho toast, "Thc Reporter" to the
amusement Of the Pittsburch Press
Club
There arc tHrcc grand divisions in
newspaper journalists, report
ers and editors. speaking more &C
curat ;iy. There are thee stages of
devclopncnt a journalist is a cllf
reporter. He is - reporter in the
miniature tadpolc stage, when his
head is SO big that it takes all the
rest OF his person to shove it around.
If he is lucky, by and by he becomes .
reporter. Alter & reporters legs wear
OUT they make an editor out of him.
Ihe iinal stage OF " a.frog, you know
the extreme removal from the tad
poie--ls the bullfrog ; too stiff to jump,
too old and tough to cat, who just 81 Is
on the bank and bellows. That is an
editor.
In the old days tho editor called a
man chicken thief now-a.days the
reporter finds the feathers in his back
yard. The weapon of the old time
editor was the epithet; that of the
modern reporter is tho evidence. What
the editor used to assert the reporter
now proves.
If the people who complain of
what the reporter writes of them
would only consider what he does not
write about them, they would enshrinc
hlm in the dearest corner of their
hearts. The waste baskets of daily
newspaper in any town do moro to
keep its citizens in good rcpute than
any other agency except tho fear of
the law and the hereafter. Not all
that II reporter writes Is true. He is
not infallible himself, and of those
who arc the source Of his information
many are less 90. There are very
many men who can not tell straight
story. The man who tells the story to
the reporter is usually an interested
party. He has purpose to serve in
mctamorphosing this or suppressing
that. The reporter has no desire cx-
ccpt to get the truth accurately and
completely, and to write it quickly and
entertainingly.
"All men do not love the reporter,
and | am glad OF it. The fear and
haired OF bad men is chaplet above
his brows. 1t is the assurance of his
honesty to his badge Of honor as u
servant Of truth. If time ever comes
wben all men low" the reporter, it
Will be timo to bury him. He will
have forgotten his mission, betrayed
his trust and shamcd the noble fellow
ship Of men who have made the white
cross Of the pittsburg reporter the
decoration OF the legion Of honOr.'

Arctic Explorer Particularly Proud of
a Trophy Of His Last Trip.

turned from the Arctic, arrived ih los

a number of those who tool, part i'm

and Mrs. Lee of New Haven, VINO en-
joyed their honeymoon under the arc
tic circle, and six EsquimauN, while
in the hold of the vessel is the meteo-
rite which Lieutenant Peary first dis
covered in May. 1894. In conversation
with representative of the Associat-
ed Press the lieutenant said:
THE meteorite. which is firmly
wedged i'm the hold with twelve foot
timbers and tons of ballast. is II feet
long, S feet wide and 6 feet high. is
a solid ingot of nickel steel, estimated
to weigh about 100 tons. \ remark
able fact about this meteorite is that
its composition is just the same as
that of the material the government is
using for its armor plates at the pres
ent time, viz, % per cent steel and $
per cent nickel.
This meteorite fell from the skies
hundreds of years ago, and has Deen
the source of iron supplies of the Es-
I lISl ulStONtItNl II III May.
1894, and since that time have been
trying to secure it and bring it to
America.
I'VE have on board six EsquimauX,
namely, three men, one woman, boy
and girl. They will remain with
me here this winter to arrange the
chronological specimens, and will re-
turn with me next summer. These
people belong to the tribe from which
| shall select my colony next year"
In speaking of the last expedition
Lieutenant Peary sad 81 consider
the chief things accomplished were
the arrangements with the EsquimauH
for my next years journey. Then a
second event of Importance is the
bringing of the meteorite to this
country. The statements appearing
in the papers that we had discovered
some grewsome things about the hut
of the Greeley expedition is all non
sense. We found that the conditions
were such that we could reach the
place where the Greeley expedition
had made their camp, and although
it was August 30, we found things in
side the hut covered several feet with
snow. Our party began to dig round
and picked uD several buttons and Il
piece of wood marked Norman the
name of one of the Greeley party. and
several other thirps. These are all
the 'CrueSome finds we made.

Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
