1t Is not so much, however, the Ques-

question OF how much the enterprise
Of these two cities-with the aid OF the

may stimulate cooperation among all
the cities Of the gulf and thereby line
up a strong force in fight against the
North Atlantic and the great lakes.
Within five years Galveston has pulled

to climb the mountains that intervene

There IL no doubt that the electric
charge Of q cloud comes from an ini-
tisl charge multiplied by induction.
The initial charge may be acquired by
evaporation, for We know that cleo
tricity may be generated In that way.
Or 1t may be generated by the friction
Of vapor-laden air, which. moving as
wind, comes in contact with objects on
the earth's surface. This vapor Is COM
posed Of very minute particles Of wat
er, each OF which becomes electrified,
the charge accommodating on its sur
face. Now, as these particles Of drops
come together and are condensed into
larger drops the surface area In re-
duced In proportion to the volume and
an increased electric accumulation is
the result In other words, when two
drops are condensed into one, there is
the same quantity Of water and Of
electricity was when the drops were
separate, but there Is a good deal less
surface, and the electric charge Is in
tensified to that extent The drops so
formed attract smaller drops by their
greater power, and thus condensation,
with continual increase Of power, goes
on rapidly and a thundercloud begins
to form. As the cloud is sent forward
by the wind 1t affects the earth's sur
face by induction, and the earth's
surface affects it in the same way, the
cloud becoming positively and the
earth negatively charged. This goes
on rapidly, electric energy being con-
tinually drawn to the cloud from the
air, and the same quantity being re-
PEELED from the earth below. Thus Il
is that the thundercloud forms so
quickly and acquires SO great an cleo
trio power.

he and two others were engaged in de-
molishing a still on Pritts' farm in
October, 1899, father and sons were
seen approaching along a path. They
stopped their work on the still and
waited their arrival, when the three
leaped out at the men and covered
them with their reyolvers. Bill"
Pritts escaped. Deputy Collector
Dickson said that the still was then in
operation. Hot embers were lying
beneath the affair and a mess Of some
thing was in the still. Six barrels Of
mash, he said, were in the stillhouse.

the following May by himself and
Deputy Marshal A. McBeth. He was
found near house Of one OF his neigh
bors. The ofieer said that when he
caught the defendant the latter denied
being 'Bilr' Pritts and said that at
any rate he had done nothing wrong.

COAL CONSUMPTION.
Per Capita Increase Fifty Per Cent In
Ten Years

Per Capita Increase Fifty Per Cent In
Ten Years.
In spite of continued effort to In
crease the efficiency of engines and
boilers the progress of invention Is
such that coal is becoming each year a
more and more important article Of
commerce. So short time ago, view
ing the history Of the world, as 1881
the annual coal production Of Great
Britain was 24,000.0OO tons; for the
year 1901 the coal production will
probably be 240,000,O00 tons, an in
crease Of 1000 per cent. In 1881 the
population Of Great Britain was "a,
100000 and the next census, 1901, win
probably show about 10000, 900 In that
country, an increase of Sc 2-3 per cent
in seventy years. Therefore the pro-
duction Of coal has increased from one
ton per capita to six tons, and the rate
of increase has been fifteen times az
great as the rate OF increase in popu-
lation. In 1910 the production of btu
minous coal In the United States was
between 100000 and 1000, 900 tons.
and the production Of anthracite was
100000 tons-say a total Of $780,
600 tons. says the Engineering Maya
zine. At that time the population of
the country was 1900, 900, so that
there was probably less than one-sixth
OF a ton used per capita. Compare that
with the present tonnage Of 220, 600, 900
and a population Of approximately IT,
100000. and 1t will be seen that Amer
lea Is now using per capita eighteen
times as much coal as she did sixty
years ago. In fact. since 1890 the per
capita increase has been so per cent.

romance has placed famous old "Bill
near the top Of the list Of the queer
characters developed In the mountains

men OF his class, Pritts had many
stanch friends among his neighbors,
and these assisted him frequently In
eluding the officers Of the government
Among the people Of the mountain
region It is not regarded as a crime
to cheat Uncle Sam out OF the tax on
whisky. Men otherwise honest would
not scruple to trafiic in whisky that
had paid no tribute to the government,
and those who endeavor to collect 1t
have a rocky time OF 1t. The moon
sinner is seldom without notice Of the
presence of revenue officers In the vi
cinity OF his still, and he has ample
time to conceal all evidences OF his
Illicit occupation. His patrons can
never be induced to testify against
him, and the officers, even though
they may be morally certain OF the
guilt of a suspect, have a hard task
to procure the evidence necessary to
convict. Bill PriIts was fortunate IN
having the good will Of his neighbors.
and on that account he long enjoyed
immunity from arrest The officers
now claim to have proofs of his guilt
and are confident of being able to give
him a long term in the penitentiary.
During his trial Pritts manifested the
greatest unconcern. He admitted that
he drank all the whisky he could get

and made the admission as though II
were a good joke and it tickled him.
He admitted. however, that he had
done so twenty years ago. He was
as delighted as a youngster when
United States marshals told Of the
trouble they had experienced in cap
turing him. Like many another man,
Bill Pritts is a mixture Of simplicity
and guile. but the proportions are
hard to determine.
