WORTH CONSIDERING.

PhIIdueIphla Record.
Mr.. Paul Kavanagh, of the Board of Ed
ucation. is right in the opinion that the
magic lantern can be made an important
auxiliary in making education attractive
to the youthful mind. Children get most
of their learning with their eyes, and pic
lures tighten the drudgery of study. 1t is
not impossible that the ideal school of the
future will largely run to biographs, and
that education will become continuous
performance.

PERTINENT 10 INDUSTRY.
Lime Dealers Get Notice Of an Ad-
vance.
THE COAL. BUSINESS BOOMING.
PATENT BEING TRIED AT THE
BELMONT - OTHER ITEMS OF
INTEREST FROM WORKSHOPS
AND FACTORIES.

The coal merchants of the city who
carry commercial lime as side issue.
and other dealers as well, are puzzled
at present to known what has gotten
into the manufacturers of that article.
1t is suspected that a trust must have
been formed or some combination ar
ranged to regulate prices. Much of the
finishing lime handled here comes from
Toledo and other Ohio cities, and local
merchants have within the past day or
two received circular letters from
divers firms with which they have been
dealing, informing them that the price
has been advanced fifteen cents on the
ruary /. One of the firms deigns to
give a reason for the advance and as
signs the increase in the price of pro-
duction. This increase, the letter
goes on to affirm, is the result of the
upward tendency of fuel. The local
dealers Cake this explanation with a
grain of salt, and are inclined to the
belief set forth in the beginning that
a trust has been formed, or at least a
scale of prices agreed upon.
A patent which gives promise of
working considerable revolution in
the skelp and bar departments at the
Belmont mill is being tested on the
new bar mill. The device consists of
a chute which returns the iron to the
rolls and does away with the rougher
and two assistants. 1t has been tried
with 8, 33s and 35s skelp and has
been found to work we'll, but the
heavier gauges have not yet been
tried.
The La Belle mill is practically all
on this week and making good time.
The only exceptions are tin mills Nos.
5, 6 and 7, which have been off for two
weeks on account of the break in the
disc CT the engine. 1t is thought, how
ever, that repairs will have been COM
pleted in time to allow these mills to
resume early next week, perhaps Mon
day. The dipping department and the
one plate mill are on as usual. The
plate mill which has been off, will not
be put in motion for few days yet
There is reason to believe that the
work of constructing the new plate
mill at the La Belle will be inaugu-
rated as soon as the weather will per-
nit. The machine shop, the black
smith shop and the tack factory will
be cleared away to make room for the
new Improvement.
The coal business of the city has
been on the boom since the cold wave
struck the city. Dealers are now
thronged with orders, and it is taxing
their facilities to the utmost to keep
ahead of the trade. Some of the coal
yards have done more business the
past week than they did almost the
whole of the month of January pre-
vious.
The La Belle pottery is having good
week Of it, and the Wheeling plant is
also all on except the sanitary depart
ment. A day has not been set for this
latter department to resume.
The Board of Directors of the La
BELLE met yesterday morning and
elected John E. Wright President vice
c. A. Robinson, and Walter E. Bes-
wick secretary, vice Mr.. Wright, pro-
