SPECULATION IN coal.
That of the Present Vas Never Before
Ennaliel.

The greatest work and the greatest
speculation in coal In the history Of
the world is going on in Western
Pennsylvania at present. Nothing
ever known in previous records can
compare with the stupenaous deals
that have been recently eonsummated
Nearly every acre Of land Ii Allegheny
couaty between the Ohio river and
the Washington county boundary line
has been purchased. says the Pitts
burg Post The Pittshnrg Coal Com
nany. the Pittsburg & Buffalo Coal
Company, the Werner Coal i Coke
Company and two or three railroad
corporations indirectly interested are
the chief spectators In this marvel
Gus deal for the control or the vast
bituminous wealth of Southwestern
Pennsylvania.
The area of Allegheny county is
100 square miles, Washington county
has $50 square miles and Greene eoun-
ty 620 square miles. Only part of
Allegheny county is underlaid by the
great Pittsburg coal bed, but the big
seam, with other workable beds is
continuous over the greater part of
the other two counties. so that IL can
be said within the area described there
are 2, 27o square miles, and over half
OF this is undeflaid with the greatest
bituminous coal bed in the world,
which averages about Il feet In thick
ness.
Allowing for coal already removed
and gaps cut by erosion In the deep
valleys, which eliminate the coal bed
calculations, IL is safe TO say that
within the area above described there
are |, 600 square miles Of one coal bed
which averages | feet in thickness.
Ii has been calculated by the State
engineers and surveyors that each
square mile Of horizontal coal bed
contains 1000, 600 tons for each foot
in thickness This would mean II =,
600, 600 tons for each square mile, or
for the 900 square miles, II, 900, 600.
600 tons Of coal, or enough Co load
275, 900, 600 cars of 10 tons capacity
each.
The figures 60 quite beyond the
limits or bounds Of human lmagina-
tion, but are correct. They do not
include, however, the many smaller
beds Of coal, some Of which can be
worked, and are being worked at pres
ent. Taking into consideration our
wonderful mineral wealth it is not to
be wondered that Pittsburg { suprem-
acy excites the envy of the world.

PROF. HODGES LECTURED
To the Members of the Y. II. G. A.
Friday Night.

Prof. Thos. Il. Hodges delivered the
second of series of lectures to the Y.
NJ G. A., or the University, Friday
night. His topic was, 1.-The Young
Man as Teacher" He took as the
foundation principles Of his discourse
a verse from Paul, ut is more blessed
to give than to receive, and two lines
from Emerson, IF man can com
municate himself, he can teach, and
what we are we shall teach, not
voluntarily but individually
The drift OF thought was as follows:
Those who have an inclination To
amass wealth need DOT enter the
teaching profession. Teaching has
become toe much Of business a
mere occupation "a trade. Formerly
teachers were held la the same high
regard as ministers: they were taken
as types of pure, noble manhood. II
would be better II We could return to
that standard.
The teacher must give more than
the mere products OF his labor-he
must give himself Science, litera-
ture, art etc. are the media through
which the teacher gives his soul to
others. Christ, the Great Teacher,
gave US the "Golden Rule" from his
life-he lived it, The teachers who
have impressed us most have not been
the most highly educated, perhaps.
but those who have touched our
hearts. Character is more than mem
tai acumen; it Is the essence of man
hood
Do not enter the teaching profession
for what you can get out Of it, but
for what you can put into it. On the
other hand, do not stay out OF the
profession because OF the great respon-
sibility; the young man who trembles
at responsibility is more likely TO sue
coed than the one who accepts ii with
over confidence Magnification Of
calling means minitieation OF self.

Nine. Also that | had signed the
petition to hang Yves. These reports
are all false. Dave paid IVES his

honest, upright, prosperous man

of the papers. Dave was an able
man and Christian. He paid his

wanted to pay him more for his
blacksmithing than what he charged
him. Dave was the first one to do
for Yves in sickness and accommo-
date him at ali times. The repu.
tation Of Yves is SO good aud long

not all SO either. Yves once before
reached for gun to kill L. II. Colt
