OHIO COUNTY's COAL.

Interesting Thesis on the Coal Veins
i{of the County Prepared by G. R.
Whitman, Student at the West
Virginia University.
G. r. Whitman, student at the
West Virginia University, is; preparing
a graduating thesis, and has taken for
his topic. ''The Geology OF Ohio Coun-
Ity." Writing to the 1ntelligencer, Mr..
Whitman says: II was out over the.
county few weeks ago, and found
much inquiry about the Goa, which was
found In drilling a well for oil on the
Smith farm, below West Liberty. I
believe / saw an inquiry about this coal
in the 1ntelligencer. In answer TO this
INJURY and others, send you a brief
report OF the coal" 3;s y
Continuing, Mr. Whitman says:
According to the report OF the strata
passed through in drilling the Smith
well, on Short creek. near West Liberty,
the coal layers OF the lower productive
measures seem to have attained an I'm
QSudl uCStIupLlel.l,u llu tle lNleiNCIllIl5
strata to be somewhat thin.
The drillers report was given me by
Mr.. Smith, the owner Of the land on
which the well was drilled. After
making u study OF the same measures,
Us reported by Prof. Orion In the Ge-
illogical Survey OF Ohio and DR.. ]. c.,
White, in his Stratfgrapfy Of the BIZ
luminous Coal Field OF Pennsylvania,
Ohio and West Virginia, In the United
States Geological Survey. the probable
Identification OF the different Goals pass
ed through. with the report as given
me, is as follows:

The most important OF these Goals are
doubtless the Pittsburgh and the Lower
Freeport veins. Is The Pittsburgh vein
Is too well known in Ohio county to need
description. 1t is mined on Short
Greek. along the river front, and out
Wheeling creek as far as Elm Grove.
The Lower Freaport, or Steubenv!lle
Shaft coal Of Prof Orton's report. has,
as found in the Coal fields to the north,
a thin seam above, ana separated from
the main layer. This seam grows far
Their and farther from the main layer
as the Smith we'll is approached. and
has, according to the report, reached a
thickness of six feet at the well. ~
The main Lower Freeport seam has
also gradually reached a thickness OF
ten feet. 1t is four feet ut Steuben-
Vile, four and one-half feet at Bril-
liant and six to nine feet at Rush Run.
so that the thickness OF ten feet at
West Liberty is no surprise. 1t Is re-
ported as seven feet in the glass works

Although tbs coal Is over 700 feet be-
low the derrick floor at the Smith well.
1t is probably not over 400 to $50 feet I'M
der the Ohio river ut the mouth OF
Short Creek. II is 265 feet at Rush
Run and $50 feet at Wheeling.
Mr.. Smith was kind enough to furnish
me q sample OF this vein from the well
on his farm. will give my own analy-.
sis OF the sample. together with an
analysis by Lord OF a sample from

Spring Wraps

A jacket that has been worn a season or
two is usually such a very good garment
that one cannot afford to cast 1t aside
though 1t may be faded and out OF style.
The cleaning OF Jackets varies according ia
their color but in all cases it is begun with
a thorough brushing to remove dust. Black
cloth may be cleaned by being sponged
with equal parts of ammonia and warm
water. A light jacket, or wrap may be-
effectually freshened up by a thorough
cleansing with fullers earth. The entire
surface TO be cleaned must be covered with
the powder and garment rubbed all over
with soft flannel cloth, then the powder
must be brushed out with clean stiff
brush. A light gray jacket which had be-
come solled was cleaned and dyed pretty
shade of red with diamond dye fer WOOL
The sleeves were made smaller and sewed
in place and the whole garment carefully
pressed and II was prettler than when
new and the fashionable shade OF red.
There are many useful things that can be
made from old cloth II L is OF good quail
ity: Among them Is a nioe wrap, or Jacket,
whish can be made from he best part OF
an old suit or discarded overcoat. often
all that is needed Is to rip the garment
carefully and wash and Iron nasaaAGaass~s-
And there is other material which may DO

an accurate pattern Sd each piece can be
placed on the cloth before cutting Il out
and the piecing can be managed In such
away as to be concealed By the trimming.

the inevitable avoirdupois, for which,
of course. madame was blamed, and
more than once has she had to part
"bad friends" with pet customer VINO
couldn't understand why Mrs. Will
lowy's gown was so becoming and hers
looked such a fright. For the benefit
of nv readers who have on hand tight
fitting skirts that are too good to be
discarded l would advise that they ar
range a separate double or single box
plait down the back. Some OF the
newest skirts are fashioned with the
detached plat, which, it is claimed,
holds the shape better when made dis
tinct from the skirt. The new plat
is PROPERLY adjusted by long slip
stitches, which hold it intact from belt
to hem. If it is impossible to match
the material of which the skirt is
made, taffeta silk, either black or
matching, may be used for the plat,
and bands of it introduced as foot
trimming, which combination will re-
lieve any lack of harmony.
The narrow, all around plaits which
first appeared on skirts have grown
deeper and less regular in length and
are made to simulate yokes or tunic
effects. At times they travel the full
length and are made to simulate
yokes or tunic effects. At times they
travel the full length of the skirt in
front, to end gradually at the back in
shallow three inch tucks.
The most popular variety OF the
plated skirt is formed of a contin-
uous row of box plaits, with no spac-
ing between. These are pressed into
shape as far as the knee and then flare
into a cumbersome flounce. The gen
eral effect is similar in appearance to
the eelskin skirt and is said to be the
compromise offered to the faultless
figured women who haven't the stage
privileges of exploiting their seductive
charms. The third skirt of the moment
is a new addition of the old circular
kind, sporting box plat or maybe
two box plaits at back.
Crepon, the latest cloth fad, is quite
as respondent as OF yore, with bis
tered surface dotted in contrasting col
ors or presenting monotonous
scheme. Broadcloths hold their own
for tailor gowns, and all soft, clinging
materials in wool, silk or cotton find
abiding places in the big shops where
women congregate. The only requisite
quality in demand is f1imslness.
Colored velvet ribbon and every va
riety of lace is used for trimming bod
ices, and silk cord instead of braid

Mrs. Pagets tableaux vivants for
the British soldiers was tremendous
success. A friend who witnessed the
last rehearsal writes a very interest
ing descriptive criticism, which 1
print, as in it are offered some new
and clever ideas which one may find
available in the future:
Tonight is the great night of Mrs.
Paget's tableaux. What they are to be
like I have already some idea, as half
of Sunday was spent at Her Majestys
theatre watching the rehearsal. OF the
marvellous enterprise and clever energy
required for such an undertaking only
those who have tried their hand at or
ganization can guess. The result is al
ways delightful, sometimes dazzling,
while only one or two tableaux and
some hesitation at times in the mask
showed signs of the amateur hand

Dependencies, a tableau which is
really brilliantly effective. Lady
Westmoreland looks quite lovely in
her scarlet robes over pure white and

guards on the platform form a gay
background to the dresses, some Of
which are quite superb. Lady Fec

THE AESTHETIC IN DRESS.
Some Gowns Worn at Mrs. Pagets
TabIeaux Vivants.

Looking backward we find that the
bellies of century ago wore the class
ical robe, clinging and simple, with
high baby waist reaching point just
below the arms. Peering into the fu-
ture, the mirror of fashion reflects
similar costumes, and there is noted
a revival of empire and vatican styles
suggesting the building Of aestheti-
cism We are much more deliberately
adorned now, but the trend of fashion
Enthusiastically leads us to suspect
quaint caps and heelless shoes, which
marked the beginning of 1900. Bole-
ros of fantastic shape and abbreviated
proportions, broad girdles hugging the
waist for depth of six inches and
trailing, unlined skirts are the recog-
nized couriers of the coming craze.
The arrival some time ago of lace
scarfs, Powered gauze, fichus and tus-
can straw capotes in measure pre-
pared us for the radical changes to
be expected. Early spring frocks en-
body one or more of the characters
tics mentioned, and by the end of the
season aestheticism will be full
blown blossom. Colors, too, are dom
mated by aesthetic influence. The
soft maize shades, blues, lavenders and
even scarlets are charmingly free from
any element of assertiveness and in
sure a continuation of the so-called
pastel shades in their exquisite fadi
ness. So much information is CLEAN
ed from an observation of early con-
Bignments.
The vexatious habit back skirt has
retired into obscurity. To some it
was wondrously becoming, to the great
majority a direful failure, though
voted popular in the beginning with
alarming unanimity. Modistes are
calling Paquin, who has succeeded in
its final overthrow, thrice blessed, for
the tight skirt has proved the greatest
stumbling block modistes have had to
encounter in the last twenty years.
The saddle back was seldom signal
triumph. This fact was often due to
the patrons physique-votaries Of
fashion paying practically no heed to
their proportions, but clamoring Wild
ly for the latest. The tight fitting
skirt afforded no opportunity for con-

make delicious fancy cakes.

The proportion of made-up bouquets
ordered from florists is small compar-
ed with the large quantities of cut
flowers that are delivered loose in
boxes. Loose flowers keep longer
than bouquets. But all flowers need
to have their stems slightly cut every
day before being placed in fresh water.
1t is mistaken belief that ammonia
or other drugs put in the water will
prolong their freshness. II the flow
ers begin to droop they can sometimes
be revived by placing them in a cool
place or even on the ice for a short
time. BY placing cut flowers in re-
frigerator over night they can be kept
beautiful and enjoyed by day for a
much longer time than if left in a
warm room all the time.

work well without proper tools.
A kitchen outfit costs little. New
oil cloth for the floor, table and sink
is cheap and all very much to the
contentment of the maid.
Neat tin and wooden boxes with
labels are delightful acquisition to
the kitchen closets and much more
pleasant to handle than leaky paper
bags.
Paper with pinked edges for the
shelves will work wonders for the gem
eral effect and growing plant or two
gives an air Of luxury which surprises

An expert cook vouches for the ex-

OF five, or as many as the kettle will
hold, should be young. tender and well
drawn and cleaned, but with the feet

and the wings trussed 10 the body.
Then the chickens are suspended from
the pole by the feet at such a distance
that all but the feet will be immersed
in the hot fat One chicken at a time
is put on the stick, SO that the fat will
not become too cool. After they are
