There are May speculations as to
what is to be the fuel when coal is ex-
hausted, as some think will happen
within few years. As a rule, coal Is
required TO generate electricity. Water
power will do il in certain localities.
Ii is believed that the electric currents
in the air can be utilized, but no very
successful experiments have been made
in that direction. 4 gentleman prom
inently connected with one of the sci
entific institutions of the Government
expressed his opinion that as we have
an abundant supply of water, we will
be compelled TO use it forfuel. 1t mas
been demonstrated that 1t can be
burned, but practical method must
be found. Hydrogen and oxygen, the
component parts of water. when sepa-
rated, furnish plenty of fuel. Could
we get these gases into the shape we
need the disappearance of coal mines
need not be a source of alarm. In a
small way, some stoves have been
made to burn water. Ii, after build
ing a coal fire, Just the right quantity
| of water could be conducted to the
bed of Goals, the fire could be kept up
| until the stove burned out. One droI
more than the necessary amount, how
ever, would put the fire out. 1t Is ex
pected that science and invention VII

Il recognized authority on the cnl-
ture of coon cats, and is the largest
breeder Of them in Maine.
The propagation of the coon Cat has
Of late years become quite an industry
in some sections Of the State, though
but few can make ii success. Thirty
years ago Mr.. Nudd made his first ex-
periments, and has since made q study
Of their habits and development. Now
he breeds hundreds of them annually,
and they are readily disposed of at
fancy prices all over the country. On
the outskirts Of Waterville is situated
the Linda Vista farm, where Mr.. Nudd
breeds cats, aud there he talked enter
tainingly regarding his rather novel
business.
Thirty years ago." he said, there
was no great commercial demand for
coon cats, and what are now consid-
cred the choicest strains were little
known. They used to think that the
coon cat was q cross between the COM
mon cat and the raccoon or the polecat,
but after a long series of experiments

distinct kind of a cat themselves. Dis
section seems 20 prove conclusively
that the old idea is physical impossi-
bility.

Coon cats are much more delicate
than the ordinary house cat and re-
