A Flemish Jawbreaker.

Some new words have been necessarily
added TO the English language since the
introduction of the horscless carriage,
and the vocabularies of other tongues
have also naturally been similarly en-
riched in all countries where such car
riages have become popular
with few exceptions, all these words
are technical, and their true significance
is only understood by the electrician and
the machnist. The members of the
Flemish Academy OF Anvcrs recently de-
termined TO frame a word which would
be readily Ineligible to all who under
stand the language of Flanders and who
have ever seen horseless carriage, and
the result was that after much deep
thought they framed the following word:
"Snelpaardelooszond derspoorwegpetrolrlj-
tuiE."
This euphonious word signifies "a car
riage which is worked by means of pc
troleum, which tlavels fast, which has
no horses and which Is not run on rails
That is, from one point of view, a fine
example of multum in parvo but it may
he questioned whether one extraordinarily
long word is preferable 10 half a dozen
short words.
The Flemish people, however, think
differently, and the Academy of AnVcrs
has been highly cOmplimentcd by them
on its linguistic skill as seen in this
unique word.-New York Herald.

ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.
Advance of Price is Expected on
Julv l.

with reference to the anthracite coal
trade the Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal says:
Sales agents continue toassert that an
advance of 25c per ton is sure to come
July 1st, but buying at seaboard points
remains rather light. At Boston a con-
siderable amount of coal is going at re-
tail at the low prices prevailing, but
there are no reports of coal being sold
ahead of these figures. In the West,
as money is abundant, the producing
interests are preparing to sell a lot
of coal there this fall. At present de-
mand Is kept down by warm weather.
Owing to the late opening of naviga-
tion and to labor troubles at Buffalo
and some of the upper lake ports the
press for cargo room down the Lawes
is now 50 great that many large car
riers are likely to go back light rather
than delay the coal to be carried at low
figures. The vessel men apparently
control the situation, and rates as high
as 40c to Duluth are spoken of, and
a Soc rate is not improbable.
There is some coal going into stor-
age at Eastern points, but so far there
is no apparent attempt to force coal
on the market, and prices hold up
well. If another month passes without
break, fall trade should be satisfac-
tory to everybody. There seems little
likelihood of any serious troubles; col
lieries are buster than usual at this
time of the year. Quotations at New
York are still at the May figures.

tract it is no fault Of City Engineer
Joseph +. Phillips, Unlike any other
contract for improvements or repairs
into which the city has entered, the
city engineer is in the present instance
made inspector. Ever since entering
upon the office Mr.. Phillips has con-
tended for the placing of all inspectors
in charge of his department and now
that it has for once been done he pro-
poses to show that what he has con-
tended for is a wise move.
His first step as inspector was to con-
denim a train load of sand which the
Barber company had purchased and
accepted from r. II. Howe. Mr.. Phil
lips specified that coarse sand should
be used and gave the company a
sample of what he wanted. When the
first train load of the sand was de-
livered the company was satisfied with
it and thought it just the proper thing,
but Mr. Phillips staked his Judgment
against that of the Barber company's
experts, declared the sand too coarse
and refused to allow it to be used.
