about children. He loved 'em all until
they got into long dresses and trous-

Europe Wants
Our Coal

The prospects, as seen by impartial
observers after several months have
elapsed, indicate that American coal,
both anthracite and bituminous, is n a
fair way to win a permanent demand.
Our consuls in Europe report that the
London gas companies are pleased with
their experiments with our gas coal.
Fifty per cent more gas has been
yielded per ton by some samples. Not
withstanding a considerable margin in
favor of British coal in the matter of
prime cost, the demand for samples is
growing, and our anthracite coal which
has been heretofore unknown in Eu-
rope, is found superior to any mined in
Great Britain. There is, however, a
disposition to insist on 20 to so per
cent Of carbon, as European coal OF
lower percentage than that is simply
lnexhaustible.
France produces 100000 tons and
consumes 100000 annually. Hereto
fore she has imported from Great
Britain, Belgium and Germany Car
diff coal does not break up into as
small Jumps as American coal does;
but Pocahontas coal gives almost equal
results for steaming purposes. IN both

sert in a parenthesis other things be-
ing equal" in calculating on the for
elgn market for American coal. The
great trouble is not in the quality of

here, but in the ocean freight rates and
the thoughtlessness Of American coal
men, who fail to study European GUS
toms as to size of coal and the metri-
cal system Of measurement and analy-
sis.
Even in Russia American coal equal
to the best Welsh coal is selling for a
slightly lower figure. Prices in Austria
are excessively high, and Italy, too, is
feeling the scarcity severely, having no
native deposits. American coal is just
invading Spain and Algiers, and in
both the consumers find it equal in
quality to what they have been using.
Honesty and common sense in push

to result in great European market

since then the Countess has lived in
