EkeLANp.s COAL FIELDS.

A French author, Monsieur e. Loze,
has recently discussed again the ques-
ton of the probable duration OF the
British coal fields Assuming that the
prosperity and power of Great Brit
ain depend upon her supply of coal,
he thinks that ''the end of Britain" Is
due within the coming century. He
fixes the date 1850 for the complete
exhaustion of the attainable supply of
coal in the British Isles. To this
statement the English scientific jour
lal, Nature. replies that Monsieur Loze
has failed to take account of recent
Investigations proving that mining can
be economically carried on at much
greater depths than 1000 feet-the lima
it assumed by the French author-and
consequently that the British coal sup
ply will last indefinitely longer than
his calculation shows.

THE MORTALITY OF orr1Es.

The latest bulletin of the Department
of Labor contains three statistical ia
bles of unusual interest. showing the
number and cause of deaths, during
the last fiscal year, in one hundred and
twenty-nine cities having a population
of thirty thousand or more.
Like all statistics, these figures
sometimes require to be explained. For
instance, the highest death rate Of
any city in the country-almost thir-
ty-five to the thousands that OF
Charleston, while New Orleans, Sa-
vannah and San Antonio all had a
death rate of more than twenty-five
to the thousand. But this does not
prove that they are unwholesome
places. Each has very large color
ed population. and exceptional mortal
ity here swells the general average.
The really deadly" cities are foreign
ports, like Bombay. where the death

The chalk-line is very often a great

a veritable nuisance in the way OF

AT the Paris exposition one method
used IN the showing of stock could be
copied to advantage by most, if not
all, of our live stock shows on this
side Of the Atlantic. After the pre-
miums were all awarded there was a
cnange OF the position of the animals.
The prize winners were all placed to-
gether, where they could be inspected
by the public and comparisons made.
In this country the animals that are
competing are together while the
judge is doing his work, but after that
time they are separated and each one
is led back to his stall. The man that
wants to look at the prize animals
can find them only after a pretty thor
ough hunt, for they are scattered here
and there. AS they are so far apart
he generally does not try to make any
comparisons between them. If they
were put together they would be in a
position where the visitors could get
the most out of them as an object
lesson. Probably the owner of the
herd on this side of the water thinks
N-NNN - SASy nave " GOiue 10 HIS SIdllS
to find the animals the visitors will
be obliged to notice also his other
stock and thus he will get more adj
vertising out of it, But it is from
the standpoint of the public that we
must view the whole matter. Shows
are not presumably held to make a
medium through which the exhibitor
may advertise his stock, but for all
of that even such advertising is en-
tirely legitimate, and it is proper that
the breeder should take account of it
when deciding to show his animals.
But the manner of making the ex-
hibits and stalling the animals should
be settled by the managers of the
show, who must take into considera-
ton as the first factor the instruction
that the contests are intended to give
to the people that come to see them.
We cannot help but believe that the
French method OF stalling the prize
animals is commendable.

rNvENr1oNs OF THE PAST.

The experience of the patent Office
with its hall of models" throws an
interesting light upon the progress OF
American invention. For many years
the government required an applicant
for a patent to submit a model of his
invention. If the invention were ma
chine, none of the three dimensions
OF the model was to exceed II inches.
The models were displayed in show
cases on the upper floor This extern
sive collection of little engines. pumps
and moving machines came to look
somewhat like toy shop, and to it
hundreds of visitors were attracted.
But SO long ago as 1880 it became
evident that the practice of receiving
models must be discontinued. The
space they occupied was needed by the
office for its regular business. So the
models then on hand were sorted over.
and the most interesting ones were re-
tanned, appropriately grouped, as a
patent office museum. They have since
been frequently sent, as a part of the
governments exhibit, to great fairs
like that at Chicago in 1893. The rest
OF the models are now kept on two
floors of large storehouse near the
patent office. which have been rented
Tor that purpose. The few visitors
who chance to stroll through that will
derness of show cases are reminded OF
the diverse channels in which Amer
lean inventiveness has sought an out
let.
1t is singular fact that, to under
stand a machine, the patent Office ex-
aminers prefer a mechanical drawing
to an actual model. so trained have
they become in translating the conven-
tional marks of diagram into the
physical reality for which it stands.

TIE YOUNGER pLATT

Indeed, it is claimed that the younger
member of the family is the origina-
tor of the idea, and that by its pas
sage he hopes to make himself a power
in state politics. He is credited with
an ambition to step into his fathers
shoes when the man from Tioga re-
linquishes the state leadership. Some
people who are close to the senator say
that the older man leans considerably
upon his son for advice and that he
would be pleased to see him become
the party leader eventually. AS the

Absorption OF the YoIk.

Bulletin 61. Rhode Island ExperI-
ment Station: Another phase of con-
stitutional weakness is the failure to
absorb the yolk at the normal rate.
Just previous to breaking the shell the
chick takes into the body cavity the
large unassimilated remnant of the
yolk of the egg. The point at which
the abdominal walls meet after clos
ing in the yolk-sac can be plainly seen
as bare spot, the navel The yolk-
sac thus within the body cavity is con-
nected with the intestine by a mar
row tube through which the liquefied
yolk enters the cavity of the intestine,
where it is digested and absorbed.
This, as is well known, is the reason
why chicks require no food for at least
twenty-four hours after Matching. For
the next two or three days, as the
chick acquires strength, the yolk is
supplemented more and more by food
from external sources. and normally,
at the end of perhaps week, the yolk
has practically all been absorbed. IT,
however, through anatomical alb
normalities, inherited weakness, or
other cause, the chick fails to assim-
ilate the yolk, the bird does not get
the natural food and may thus be
weakened. and at length the unab-
sorbed yolk decomposes and poisons
the chick. This is the most prolific
cause of bowel trouble" Many breed
erS have remarked that chicks Matched
from eggs which have been subjected
TO much variation of temperature in
the incubator are most subject to
bowel trouble" and that this may
kill almost the entire hatch. The
cause was found by us to be in the
non-absorption of the yolk This hap
pened in large proportion of those
chicks which died previous to hatch
ing, and 1873 per cent of the matched
chicks examined showed abnormalities
connected with the yolk-sac.

WHITE SWELLING or THE KNEE.
This is the old name for chronic
tuberculous Inflammation of the knee
joint, that is to say. an Inflammation
produced by the same germ that, when
seated in the lungs. is the cause Of
consumption. 1t is disease chiefly
affecting children, although adults are
not wholly exempt from it.
The trouble usually comes on insidi-
ously, without any evident cause; but
sometimes it follows an acute infiam-
nation resulting from a strain, fall
or other injury. The first symptom
viii probably be slight limp. which
may be intermittent, coming and go
ing irregularly for a time; and with
this there is apt to be an indefinite,
dull pain.
Soon the joint grows a little stiff,
and is slightly fixed, and any attempt
TO straighten the knee causes pain and
an involuntary jerking OF the leg or
OF the entire body. At night the child
occasionally starts in his sleep and
cries out, but if awakened says he has
no pain.
After a longer or shorter time, our
ing which these symptoms gradually
become more marked, examination of
the knee will show slight swelling,
and If the knee is compared with its
fellow it will perhaps feel warmer to
the hand.
The degree and kind of swelling
vary; usually it is hard and unyield-
ing, and not of very great size; less
often it is very large and feels like
olstended bladder. 1t always looks
larger than it really is, because the
muscles of the leg and thigh are vast
ed away.
The Inflammation, il untreated, may
subside spontaneously after some
months, leaving a stiffened and bent
knee; or it may break down and dis
charge for very long time, depressing
the patients strength and eventually
causing his death.
The treatment of the disease is two
fold, local and general TONES, good
foods, cod liver oil OF cream, plenty of
fresh air and sunlight, and everything
to build up the general health are of
the greatest Importance, for local
treatment will be of little use IL the
patients resisting powers are weak.
Local treatment consists chiefly in
giving rest to the joint. This is usu-
ally done by casing the leg is plas-
ter of Paris bandage, or by means Of
specially constructed splints. The
splints are often made in such way
that the patient can go about without
crutches. and without danger of jar
ring the knee.
