OUR COAL PRODUCTION.
America Has Mining Advantages
Not Possessed by Great
britain.

After the lapse of century of ac-
tive mining, hundreds of millions of
tons of coal have been extracted from
the limited areas of Great Britain,
and it has come to such a pass that
the high prices hitherto prevailing
are absolutely required to meet the
expenses of production and transpor-
tatiun, for now it is necessary to go
deeper into the ground for the coal
Thinner seams have been worked, the
more attractive deposits having been
exhausted. All the entries now are
long, comparatively few new mines
having been opened in Great Britain
in the last ten years, says a writer in
the Engineering Magazine.
A moments thought will make it
plain that underground haulage and
hosting are enormously expensive
methods of sportation, and that "A
certainty that the factors will increase
in importance every day. as the coal
industry grows older. makes 1t plain
that the United States coal fields AL
most untouched as many of them are.
grow steadily in advantage as re-
CARDS the supply of the world. Cen
orally speaking, there is not coal
mine in the seaboard bituminous re-
gions from which coal has to be hoist
ed. 1t can in every case be drawn out
in cars. sometimes up grade, it is
true. but quite as often the cars run
down grade. Then. too, the Amer
lean mines are generally new. All
devices are contrived with the view of
handling a large tonnage as economi-
cally as possible, and the present
shipper of bituminous coal is not
hampered by arrangements made years
ago when trade requirements were
less important. Very notable, too,
have been the arrangements for the
transportation of coal.

BIGGEST OF WATERSpOUTS.
Enormous Column That Was Seen by
Vessels Crew In Gulf of
Mexico.

A column Of water 60 or 10 feet in
height that covered an area nearly
100 feet square was a sight that Capt
Liddle and the crew of the steamship
King Bledoyn, which arrived from
Mexico, off Campech. bank, saw on
the morning of September IS.
Capt. Liddle, in describing the un-
usual spectacle TO New York Times
reporter, said
''It was about 6:3O in the morning
of the 10th, when we were in latitude
23.14 and longitude s7.O7, while off the
northeast end of Campeche bank. in
the Gulf of Mexico. that we observed a
column of water whirling in the air
at height of apparently 60 or 10
feet and covering an area that ap-
peared to be about 100 feet square.
The column, which looked like a
mass OF steam. made a beautiful
sight as it snot into the air. All
around it the water was foaming and
frothing like breakers IN a shoal. As
to what it was, don't /. now: it looked
like a volcanic eruption, though /
never heard of any volcanoes in that
region. 1t may have been de to an
upheaval caused by an earthquake"
Capt. Liddle said that the spectacle
was visible for half an hour, and that
as the King Bleddyn gradually sailed
out of sight of it the water Gained
down and then suddenly rose again
shooting a steaming column high into
the air.

DEATH A PUBLIC BENEFIT.

the Cost of the War in
SOuth Africa.

1t is seldom that the death of an emf
nent man is viewed as Il public blessing,
yet there are sordid men here, says a
London paper, who view the recent de-
mise of the marquis of Butte as in a
measure providential. The death rate
upon his estate will amount to a very
considerable sum. AT rough estimate
Lord Bute's possessions may he set
down at 5000, 900, the larger portion
of which consists of money drawn out
of or still invested in the Butte docks.
When l3 years ago the docks ceased TO
be his private property he left about
a2,000,000 in the company and took
about 100000 out. Whoever the
chancellor of the exchequer may be in

Alex Wiper Wednesday evening, Nov
IA, The contracting parties were Miss
Katharine Elizabeth, youngest daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Wiper and Mr.
Joseph D., Oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wesley James. The number of guests
was somewhat limited, only the imme-
diate relatives and few friends be-
ing present. At the first strains Of
Mendels ohn's wedding march, which
was so gracefully rendered by Miss
Mamie Mckee, the guests arose as a
tribute of greeting to the bridal party,
which quietly entered the parlor and
took their places in front of the drap-
cries and flowers ani beneath the for
al bell. The impress made on the
minds of all as the happy couple stood
there ready to take the nuptial vows,
surrounded by their dearest relatives
and closest friends, was one that will
linger long as life itself The lovely
scene of youth, beauty and grandeur
seemed typical of their purity, true
love and upright lives. A little gold
clock in the background, one of the
presents to the bride, suggested that
the hour was fast approaching and

The bride wore white satin trimmed
with lace and carried a shower bou-

PLAY IN EUROPEAN BANDS.

Many years ago there were colored

in France and in Germany the cymbal
and the kettledrum players were near
neighbors to the sun" In the latter
country their performances were not
confined 10 the instruments just named
and Frederick William |. of Prussia
had, in fact, whole orchestra of them.
They were mainly recruited from the
African colony Grosz- z-Friederichsb burg,
founded by his grandfather, and even
when that Prussian possession was sold
to the Dutch in 1920 the dark-hued vir-
tuosi still continued to be imported.
They were quartered in a special bar
racks in the Friederichstadt, and the
fact is perpetuated IN the name of Moor
street in Berlin, and which was the site
of their habtation. Gradually they dis
appeared from all the European bands,
but it has been decided to revive this
old fashion practice. and two colored
performers are forthwith to join the
musicians of one of the regiments of the
Prussian guards. Queen Victoria has
many more subjects of dusky hue than
any other sovereign, and some of them
would look very picturesque on horse
