At the present rate of consumption
our supply of anthracite coal is ex-
pected to last 200 years longer. In
creased care is being taken that the
waste in mining shall be as light
as possible. 1t is estimated that in
1898 the value of coal mined in this
limited area was SIS 100000, more
than half the value of the bituminous
coal mined in the whole country.
No other anthracite is mined except
in Wales. which annually produces
Varieties of Scotch, Belgian and West
phalian, sold for anthracite, are Of
the bituminous class. One reason for
anthracite being high in price is that
it is hard to mine. 1t lies mainly
along three rivers, the Susquehanna
with large centers at Scranton and
Wilkesbarre; near the Lehigh, with
prominent field around Mauch
Chunk, and along the Schuylllill, with
Pottsville as chief shipping point
Iron production would be but lit
tie affected by dearth of anthra-
cite West bound freight on the
great lakes would be reduced to an
important extent. The east would
suffer most severely. New York is
the largest anthracite coal market
in the world and, next to London,
the largest coal market of any kind.
The railroads are said to charge
three times more for hauling anthra-
cite than for carrying bituminous
coal. When they convey five dollars
worth of coal $50 miles TO tide wa
ter they charge two dollars and leave
but three to pay the miners and OPP
orators. Then they claim that their
mines do not pay enough to enable
them to raise wages. However, the
consumer is always charged full
price.
1t is said that whenever the price
of hard coal rises to over seven dol
lars per ton, the demand for soft coal
greatly increases, thus regulating the
price of the former There seems to
be an increasing tendency to. as fer
as possible, have appliances attached
to stoves and furnaces whereby BIZ
luminous coal can be substituted
whenever it may prove desirable.

Gypsy Moth Hunt susnended

The Massachusetts, Legislature, which
was in session nearly all summer, ad-
journed without making any appro-
priation to continue warfare on the
gypsy moth. Refusal to appropriate
funds was based on reports from the
regions where the moth hunters OPP
Grated. Residents regarded the meth
DDS employed as most costly and
wasteful. The apparatus of the moth
commission has been sold at public
auction, and the moths will be per-
mitted to take their chances with the
ordinary insect destroyers. Some nat
uralists expect that parasite will vet
destroy the insect that has spread
so rapidly for few years. About
S1,000,0O0 has been spent in pursuing
the insect, but a few were left each
year to be killed the following year
at large expense.

Egg eating, says poultry fancier,
can be prevented by keeping plenty
of ground bone, oyster shell and fine
gravel before your flock all the time
so they may eat at will, and construct
the nest in dark place. By doing this
you will seldom be annoyed by those
egg eaters. On those that have formed
the habit, pare off the upper mandible
quite blunt, also the lower, and put
china nest eggs in nests; they will
work awhile at those artificial eggs
and finding they cannot break them
will yield. This is the best cure l know
ok.--FarInsrs' Review.

One of the greatest problems that
confront those who must replace their
old fences by a modern wire fence is
that of securing an effective system of
bracing, for the general elasticity and
life of wire fence lies almost wholly
in the manner in which it is braced
from the end posts. No matter how
good or how serviceable woven wire
fence may be put up, just as soon as

Nearly thirty years ago Jonas
Silverman, farmer living near
Springfield, o., was swindled out
of 81, 800 by sharpers while on a
train near Valparaiso, Ind. The
criminals escaped and ere long one
of the three died. The other two
drifted to the Klondike year or
two ago, became rich and have
just returned to the States. They
hunted up Mr.. Silverman, paid
him the 81 800 and give him 81 ,0OC

Contrary to predictions made
ten years ago or Whereabouts, the
construction and operation Of
trolley roads has not seriously
disturbed the business of the
steam roads, Trolley lines are
especially numerous in Connecti-
cut, and The Hartford Courant
has been making a study of their
workings. 1t has found by an
analysis of Official reports that
while the trolley lines relieve the
steam roads of some local travel,
they add to the growth Of cities
and towns and largely increase
the freight traffic. Probably an
electric car line between Marietta
and Atlanta will help both towns.

The silver market has shown an
upward tendency during the past
few days. Bar silver is now quot
ed at about 50 cents per ounce.
This would make the commercial
ratio of silver to gold about 81 to
|, and the value of bullion in the
silver dollar about 81 cents. The
New York Herald says that the
resumption of silver coinage in
India is the chief cause of the
rise in the white metal. The price
is now higher than it has been in
four years.
