He shows that the pres- sure under the sharp edge of the skate, along the short portion of the steel curve which is at any moment in con- tact, is great enough to Iiquefy thin line of ice. and this gives the skate it's "bite."

The Worlds Coal Supply.

or the 50,000, GOO tons of coal which constitutes the entire worlds supply, one-third is taken from the coal mines of the United States. The British Isles produce 21S, S,000, GOO tons, Germany 124 100000, and the other European na- tlons make up, in few million tons each the rest. Spain contributes 20,- 000,000 to the sum total which amount is not sufficient for even home con- sumption. China, though rich in nat ural deposits, mines but little of her coal because of her use of primitive methods.

In wet seasons such fires are most common and are due to storing the hay, etc, in a damp state; fermen- tation fellows, with great rise of tem- perature-a process due entirely to the action of microbes; the hay is changed to dry, porous and earhonaceous condition. and it presently takes fire. It will consume slowly, until accident brings the external air to it's help, when the ineandescent mass bursts into flame, and the microbes which caused the initial mischief are de- stroyed in a funeral pyre of their own making.
