The Land Of windm,,l,.

Great tapping sails all over the land
make Holland look as If a flock Of huge
sea birds were just settling upon II.
There are said to be at least 10000 of
these windmills in Holland. They are
employed in saving timber, beating
hemp, grinding corn and many other
kinds of work; but their principal use
is for pumping water from the low
lands into the canals and for guarding
against the inland freshets that SO
often deluge the country. Many of the
wlndmills are quite simple affairs, but
some of the new ones are admirable.
They are so constructed that by an in
genious contrivance they present their
fans or wings to the wind In precisely
the right direction to work with the
requisite power. In other words, the
miller may indulge In n quiet little
sleep and leave his mill to study the
winds and make the most of them
without his assistance.
II there is only little wind every
sail will spread itself to make the most
of 1t; but If a big elbow" should come,
they will all shrink up and give 1t only
half chance to move them. IL you
want to see windmills in all their glory,
you must pay visit to the land of

1t is authoritatively stated that the
famous Kinzua viaduct, the gigantic
iron girder and trestle bridge in Nc
Kean County, Pennsylvania, south Of
Bradford. is to be replaced at an early
date by a new and wholly different
structure. Work on 1t was begun on
May 5, 1882, and 1t was completed and
opened for traffic less than four months
later, on Aug. 90, 1882. 1t is 3O1 feet
high at the highest point and until
the completion of the Garabit viaduct
was the highest bridge in the world.
The Garabit spans the Truyere in the
south of France, is 1,S49 feet long and
at the highest point the rail level is
4O1 feet above the river. 1t was de-
signed by NJ. Elffel. builder of the FAM
Gus tower, and was completed in 1884.
The Klnzua bridge is 1900 feet long.
Its completion gave to the New York,
Lake Erie and Western Railroad d.
rect communication with the coal fields
Of Western Pennsylvania. The Buf.
falo, Rochester and Pittsburg has a
traffic arrangement with the Erie for
the use Of the bridge. The valley of
the Klnzua. which this great trestle
spans, is fifteen miles south of Brad
ford and one Of the widest regions yet
left in Western Pennsylvania. Until
recently, perhaps even yet, bear were
plentiful and deer occasionally found

MYSTERY OF THE MAlNsPRlNe.
Some Breakages Not Yet Understood
Desnite Much Investigation

Some Breakages Not Yet Understood
Despite Much Investigation.
Despite the investigations regarding
the structure of mainsprings and the
efforts to improve them; despite the ex-
perimentation and theorizing on the
subject, some of the causes of the
breaking of mainsprlngs remain an un-
solved mystery. Many, indeed. are the
known causes responsible for breaking,
such as faulty construction or temper
ing, careless handling, leading to the
formation of rust and poor fitting, but
after all these which are recognized
have been eliminated there still re-
mains the fact well known to watch
makers that the best springs Will, in
spite of the most careful handling and
proper adjustment, unexpectedly
break, sometimes in number Of
places. 1t will thus happen that of two
springs made at the same time by the
same process, of the same material,
tempered in the same way and handled
with the same care, one may last for
years, while the other may break after
two weeks use, or even while being
placed in the barrel.
When 1t is considered that the spring
is but from .0oS to .OO9 of an inch in
thickness; that the material must be
subjected to process which shall give
1t high state Of elasticity. and at the
same time enable 1t to do Its prescrib-
ed work for years, slight molecular
daarrangement in Its structure may be
expected to occur from causes too In
significant for observation.

experience that they have many more

Hawaii and Porto Rico,

While this Republican Congress is
treating the people of Porto Rico, who
are mainly of civilized, If ignorant,
race, as strangers, it is adopting into
the family the Hawaiians, only few
thousands Of whom are white, and
nine-tenths of them are conglomera-
ton the like of which can scarcely be
found within the same area in any
other quarter of the globe.
Hawaii, with its native leprous Kama
kas, its barbarous Chinese and Japa-
nese coolies and its various mixed
breeds, all utterly unfit for American
citizenship, is going to be erected into
territory Of the Union, with Legis-
lature of Its own and with all the no.
litical paraphernalia that leads to ulti-
mate Statehood with Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress.
Hawaii is at present governed by an
oligarchy having great influence with
the Republican party leaders. Its mem.
bers are clever, INSCRIPTIONS and rich,
and they will undoubtedly succeed IN
maintaining themselves in office. They
can be depended on to assist in filling
the party campaign chest when 1t is
necessary, whereas the Porto Ricans
are on the verge of starvation and are
without ruling class, hence Its Diff
ference in treatment.-NewY York News.

Woman. Mos, w,n,on. a -.


Why do women hesitate to tell their
age? By common consent 1t is regard
ed as very rude and boorish to ask
woman categorical question regard
ing the number of her birthdays. Yet
there should be no ditfidence. on the
point, and reticence on the subject is
hard to explain. Except for some rea.
son connected with business which
may find in accommodating years han
dicap, man is usually very open
about his age and as ready to proclaim
1t as his wife and sister are to conceal
theirs. Probably the feeling in the
matter had its origin In the long ago
when matrimony was the ordinary
woman's only desirable goal, and when
as she grew older her chances of find
Ing a mate diminished perceptibly.
The situation has so entirely changed
and spinsterhood has become SO invit-
ing that we should expect to discover
an alteration In the manners of women
on this point and to find them quite
candid as to their claims to maturity
or the reverse. Fifty years to-day looks
as forty did score of years ago. Thirty

trich plumes that formed her hat; to
the geometric curve of the towering
collar of her cape. At any rate, she
looked as If she might have sauntered
out of the pages OF some journal of
fashion-a beautiful denizen of picture
paper land, where skirts always hang
in Just the proper folds and trousers
never bag at the knee.
Everybody looked at her, the men adj
mirtngly and the women coldly, as they
always do when another woman Is bet

tiny with regal composure. She did
not seem aware that anybody else. was
present. AT last the car neared her
corner, and when she had pressed the
button and the wheels were almost at,
a standstill she arose calmly and glided
down the aisle. She was at the door
when the car came to full stop, and,
seeing her stagger slightly from the
shock, the conductor instlnctively laid
his hand upon her arm.
1t was courteous and respectful act
and one that might have saved her
from fall. but the instant his fingers
touched her sleeve the naughty beauty
leaped backward us If she had seen an
apparitlon. Her delicate face went
pale and her dreamy eyes blazed.
Don't touch me. sir!" she exclaimed,
with harshness that shocked and as
tonished every nearer. The conductor
was plain, kindly man, and, flushing
With modification and chagrin, he
turned back to his platform, while the
young woman gathered her skirts and
passed swiftly through the door. "Well,
| must say" remarked an elderly gem
tleman who had taken in the episode
over the top Of his newspaper, that
was about the most painful exhibition
of superciliousness ever witnessed in
my life. Pshaw! No wonder the poor
are embittered." There was growl
of approval and the conductor thrust
smiling face through the doorway.
Don't blame de young lady, gents"
he said, cheerily. "She explained it all
when she was gettin' off. She didn't
mean nothin'. You see, she's just been
vaccinated."

GREAT COKE AND COAL YEAR.
Tremendous Output of Both Expecte
in Mesferr Penuaxlvar,ia II, 1000

tremendous output OF Both Expected
in Western Pennsylvania in 1900.
This year will witness the greatest
era in the coke and coal regions OF
Western Pennsylvania in their history.
In the Connellsville coke region more
new ovens will be built than In any
previous year, and the coke production
will be increased fully 20 per cent.
There are now projected and in the
course Of erection more than 1000 new
ovens, which will be put in operation
by the middle of the coming summer,
which will run the total of the coke
region up to 21,O0O ovens. at the be-
ginning Of the present year there were
in operation in the region 1S,9O4 ovens.
During the past twelve months the
price of coke has nearly doubled, and
the demand to-day greatly exceeds the
production. AT the present price, So,
the business is most profitable. Two
years ago coke was selling for 81 n ton.
The production Of the coke region for
1897 was S,5OO,OOO tons, while during
the year 1890 9.520,OO0 tons was ship
ped from the Connellsville region. The
1897 product was valued at $4,000, 600,
while that of last year represented a
value of $2O.5OO.OOO. The enlarged ca
pacity will increase the product for
1900 to about 100000 tons, with a
value of nearly $3O,OOO,OOO.
Just now there Is famine in coke.
The famine is not acute because coke
can be had for immediate delivery, but
only in small quantities. Coke makers
are just now getting So a ton for fur
mace coke and 1925 for foundry coke.
Western Pennsylvania coke is now
bringing $500 at Cincinnati and $3.50
at st. Louis. All kinds of coal have
greatly advanced in prices, and to-day
there is not an idle mine in all Western
Pennsylvania. In many cases the
wages of the miners have been adj
vanced greatly. The coal famine has
induced many large Pittsburg consum-
ers to buy up coal lands. and many new
mines will be opened soon. Alarge syn
dictate, formed Of Pittsburg consumers,
has obtained control of more than
100000 acres of rich coal lands
around the city, and will operate mines

Suppose for every kindly word unspoken,
For every fault which careless hands

For every resolution made and broken,

All! then the way would be one stretch of

With only here and there flower to

Our feet would falter and our spirits

And life would be a burden hard to

The wicked harvest where the good

And vet to every heart in darkness hid

Who strives to keep US from the paths

And in the narrow way where faith

His name is Conscience. and he brings us

Or thorns on which remorseful thought
