SHOULD COAL GIVE OUT.

What then? Are we utterly depend
ent upon coal, so that the wheels of in
dustry will stop and the forests be
consumed for fuel when coal gives out?
OF course not. 1t is an idle fear. AL
ready we have the beginnings of a new
method of utilizing natural energy
which will prove enormously more eff
fective than coal ever has been, and
will be practically ineXhaustible, to
whatever extent industry may expand.
Electrical energy, developed By wa
ter power, win run the worlds indus
tries. furnish its light and heat, and
be the universal substitute for all forms
of combustion methods. Water power
is practically unlimited. and it will be
utilized more and more il proportion
as the need for it arises and as it's use
becomes, at different places and at SIC
cessive periods, cheaper than coal. The
substitution Will proceed gradually. un-
til, when the coal supply finally is ex-
hausted, nobody will have anything
more than a curious or academic inter-
est in the matter, and probably not a
ripple will be produced in the Steady
onward flow of the worlds industry.
AS the use of water power to develop
electrical energy increases to the point
of formidable competition with coal,
electrical students and inventors Will
doubtless bring out Improvements
making it possible to store the power
or conduct it long distances at small
cost, until our factories, railroads and
ships can be operated by it, our houses
lighted and warmed and food prepared.
all at even less expense than is possible
today with coal.-Gunton's Magazine.

The recent consolidation of the sleep

interest in a bill which

| RATES. ularly at the opening of
each session of the SEN
ate. for the purpose of regulating the
rates charged for the accommodations
supplied by these companies. 1t looks
now as though there was greater rea-
son than ever for the enactment of
such a statute, based upon the prin-
ciple which governs the interstate com
merce law. The complaints against
the high rates charged by the Pullman
and Wagner companies have grown
in volume and insistence with the years
which have been marked by a great in
crease in the volume of railroad traf
fic and a steady decrease in the rail-
road fares. The sleeping car and par
lor car scale is entirely out of proper
ton to the cost of the service and the
ratio of legitimate profit. This, too,
in the face of the fact that no longer
are sleeping cars considered by the
great majority of travellers as luxur-
les. but are thought of as necessary
features of an ordinary journey. One
of the most significant phases of the
development of the steam railroad sys-
tenn of this country is the enlargement
of the personal field of the business

and he finds it necessary, in order to
economize his time as far as possible,
to do the larger part of his travelling at
night, when he can rest and when he
could not 90 business if he were not
travelling. Other classes, of course,
have come to think of the sleeper as
essential to a comfortable journey,
even on a short run. The accommoda-
lions furnished are greatly inferior to
those for which excellent hotels charge
much lower price. OF course there
can be no direct rivalry in this matter,
and the passenger has never felt the
benefit of whatever competition there
may have been between the two great
sleeping car companies. and those lines
which have maintained their own cars.
Nevertheless there was no such mo-

central companies consolidated and the
Independent lines agreeing one after
another to abandon the use of their
own sleepers. Under such circum-
stances the rescue of ex-senator Sher-
mans old bill from the files of the

be a reasonable likelihood.

chemical niger ty has invented AT
Omdurman it's effects were pulveriZing,
and, contrary to the belief of many
people, it proved so safe in the gun and
in transit that no accidents occurred
to British soldiers in using or handling
it. That is more than can be said of
the bursting charges in use by some
continental powers.
AS to the question of humanity. one
can scarcely see where it arises. Whist
ling Dick. in the Crimean war sent
huge round bombs which burst, and
when they did burst proved destructive
over a certain area of British works,
sometimes blowing sailors in the naval
brigade batteries to atoms. The mod
ern high explosive shell charges are
more destructive over a like area, and
incidental destruction extends farther.
But it may be questioned whether there
shells charged with black powder cor
dite, melinite or lyddite. In so far as
the use of those high explosives tends
to end a war. they may be regarded as
actually humane for the shorter a cam
paign is the more humane 1t is. since
the most severe sufferings are not due
to wounds which cause death. Uni
versal experience has shown that a
sudden death instead of lingering death
from wounds or disease is the most
merciful.
Lyddite, according to the latest in
formation accessible. gives very even
results on the practice ground, and is
now handled without fear by artillery
men, and the corresponding powders in
use by continental powers have also
improved in the direction of safety.
But slight notifications involving their
effect upon the individuals and the
works of an enemy can scarcely be
gagged completely. Everything, how
ever, goes to show that a shell charged
with melinite or lyddite will effect from
three to four times as much destruction
in a given area as a shell filled with
black or brown powder.

high explosives as
bursting charges in their shells, and it
is impossible that England should lag
behind in the dreadful competition.
The composition of lyddite is not
definitely known, or rather its exact
proportions as now used in the British
army are an official secret, and, as
every one knows who has dealt with
the high explosives, a slight and
scarcely perceptible variation of ingre-
dents means a considerable difference
of strength. But it is understood that
lyddite, like meIinite, is a picrate, and
that 1t has given the highest result in
the way of destruction yet attained by

of the meeting was the discussion of

order has been generally respected and
no trouble is anticipated in getting
firms hiring steam filters to have only
union helpers. At the Worcester Brew
