that where the men were firing, and,
giving the alarm, they would rush
across the room and pelt lead into
their hides or scare them away.
The battle was kept up for about
seven hours with the loss all on the
side of the Indians. Finally they held
a big pow-wow, and, after killing all
our horses, mules, cows and hogs, they
rode off up the river. Satisfying him

ut may now be accepted as geolog-
ically certain that. between Dover and
Bath there occurs a more or less in
terrupted trough of coal measures Of
$50 miles in length, and of breadth
varying from two to four miles, mas
ured from north to SOUTH" Dr. Hull
believes, however, that this trough is
interrupted by many flexures and
disturbances and that it cannot be ex-
pected to compensate for the possible
exhaustion Of the Lancashire and mid
land areas, says the Spectator. Nor,
though he considers that 1t must extend
under the channel toward Dover, does
he think that it could be worked under
except at an enormous depth, the diff
culties of intruding water would be too
great. Taking each coal field separate
ly, DR.. Hull discusses it's probable lat
eral extension under everything strata,
and, on the basis that about 1000 feet
represent the downward limit OF prac-
tical working, he arrives at estimates
in round numbers of the amount Of
coal that will be available at the end
of the century. The total for the
United Kingdom is S1,6S3,O0O,OO0 tons.
AS the output of coal for 1896 was over
195,000,0 900 tons, on the extremely i'm
probable assumption that the rate Of
production which has more than
doubled since 1860, will remain prac-
tically stationary, these figures of Dr.
Hull would give life of about 400
years to our coal mines. Within this
period, then, an enormous readjust-
ment of social conditions and probably
of commercial conditions is bound to
occur.

Yet Miss Anne Cunningham Saved
Mount Vernon to the Nation.
The story of how Mount Vernon was
saved to the Nation by a woman was
entertainingly told to the Boston
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton by Miss Alice Longfellow recently.
Miss Longfellow's story was about
Miss Anne Cunningham, gentlewom-
an of old Virginia, who, when passing
up the Potomac river one day in 1853
and hearing the steamer bell toll when
passing the grave of Washington, be-
came possessed with the desire to re-
store it. The place was then occupied
by great granddaughter of the first
president, John Augustine Washing
ton. 1t was in state Of decay, and
the generous hospitality of the owner,
who treated every passing stranger as
a guest, made the expenditure of money
for repairs utterly impossible. When
Miss Cunningham ventured to tell him
of her plans he was filled with horror
that women should do that which
should so emphasize the degeneracyl
of men. But the determined woman
sent out urgent appeals. Her first call
was to the women of the south, and
on July II, 1854, the first meeting
was held. Edward Everett was one of
the first to offer his services, and as
a result of his lectures S6S,000 was con-
tributed to the fund. Northern peOple
withdrew when they learned the prop
erty was to be turned over to Virginia,
but on March II, 1856, the Ladies

The Cricket a. a Thermometer.

Professor A. N. Dolbear contributes
to the American Naturalist the fol-
lowing interesting note regarding the
variation Of speed in the chirping OF
crickets. He asserts that the varia-
ton of speed depends so closely on
the temperature that the height Of
the thermometer may be calculated by
counting the number Of chirps to the
minute. Says Professor Dolbear:
can individual cricket chirps with
no great regularity when by himself,
and the chirping is intermittent, espe-
cially in the daytime. At night, when
great numbers are chirping, the regu-
larity is astonishing, for one may hear
all the crickets in field chirping
spontaneously, keeping time, as il led
by the wand Of conductor. When
the numbers are so great the resting
spells Of individuals are unnoticed,
but when the latter recommence they
not only assume the same rate, but
the same beat as the rest in that field.
The crickets in an adjoining field will
have the same rate, that is, will make
the Same number OF chirps per minute.
but with different beat, as one may
easily perceive by listening.
"The rate Of chirp seems to be en-
tirely determined by the temperature,
and this to such a degree that one
may easily compute the temperature
when the number Of chirps per min
ute Is known.
"Thus at 60 degrees F. the rate is
80 per minute.
"At 70 degrees F. the rate is 100 q
minute. q change Of four chirps min
ute for each change of one degree.
Below temperature Of so degrees the
cricket has no energy to waste in
music, and there would be but 40
chirps per minute"
