Surprising Energy Stored In Single
Handful Of Fuel


"A pound OF coal can produce power
sufficient to pull large express train
distance of one-sixth of mile. going
at the rate of fifty miles an hour" said
an experienced locomotive engineer
recently.
you would be surprised" he con-
tinucd, "at the wonderful amount OF
work which the energy from this small
quantity of coal can do. For the pur-
pose of explaining. take, for instance,
pound of what might be called aver
age coal. containing about 10000 heat
units. This would be somewhat
smaller in size than q mans fist. If
this pound of coal could be burned
completely and entirely under water,
and all of its heat should go into the
water a temperature of 625 pounds
of water could be raised to the height
of one foot.
IF this pound of coal could be COM
pletely burned in water one foot deep,
with temperature of Ga degrees, and
all the heat from this coal be impart-
ed in the water, this water would be-
come 16 degrees hotter, thus being
suitable for a comfortable bath. II
adapted to mechanical work, the TO-
900 heat units in the one pound of
coal would be equivalent to 236 horse
power. The 236 horse power of po-
tential energy contained in the pound
of coal is enough to haul a train of
eight cars for a period of one-fifth of
a minute, or a distance of one-sixth of
mile going at the rate of so miles an
hour. 1t has also been found to be
able to draw cable tain i9clpdipg,
the gripcar and trailer. for distance
of two miles at the rate of nine miles
an hour. 1t would also be of sufh-
cient power to pull an electric car,
well filed with passengers, for two
miles and half at rate of ten miles
an hour.
"If the power in this pound of coal
is compared with the work of strong
man used to hard labor, it would be
found that there is more than sufi-
cient power in the pound of coal to do
in one minute the days work of eight
hours of five strong men. This is ac-
counted for in this way: The. work of
estimated as being equal to one-tenth
of a horsepower. The eight hours he
works is equivalent to 480. minutes.
Naturally, while working, a man
makes a number of stops, either to
rest or change the monotony of his
position. These stops, then, would,
without difficulty, take up onetenth of
the mans time Thus this would re-
duce the time of actual work down to
432 minutes. This time, at one-tenth
of the horsepower, makes the total of
his days labor amount to 45.2 horse
power.
'At this rate it is shown that 1t
would take 1900 strong men, working
constantly, to do jointly the same
amount of work in one minute as can
be done by the single pound of coal.
Another line of work in which the
superiority of pound of coal is shown
beside the labor of man is that of
saving wood. A man may consider
himself swift sawyer by making six
ty strokes a minute, each stroke of the
blade having progressed five feet
minute, but the circular saw, driven
by machinery. may be put through
seventy times that distance and saw
seventy times as much wood. Still
this little pound of coal has the power
to keep in operation $50 such saws"

A dean whose name may not be

to malapropos answers. Staying at q

would like to have pair of slippers.
His face assumed an expression of
portentous solemnity. and he made
reply: THAT question must be re-

EVOLUTION OF ELEPHANTS.
Notable Find in Egypt Which May Solve
n vexed Question.

Notable Find in Egypt Which May Solve
vexed Question.
The history or the extinct members
of the elephant order has always prov
ed of interest because OF the associa-
ton of primitive man as a contempt
rary of the mammoth. Older elephants
than this big furred elephant are
known to science, and among them
stand out very prominently the masto-
dons.
One Of the unsolved points regarding
elephant history in the past has been
the nature of the links, which on the
evolution theory are bound to exist by
way Of connecting these giant Great
ures with their ancestors, says the
London Chronicle. DR.. C. W. Andrews
has been making a notable find in
Egypt. such as may serve to supply the
gaps and to produce the missing
links" in the elephant chain Of descent.
He has found the fossil remains OF
an animal which, while smaller than
the mastodons. is evidently closely re-
lated to them on the one side. Beyond
this comes another fossil find of a still
more primitive elephant that takes US
back in the family history to the
hoofed quadrupeds. This last form
may come to be regarded as the point
OF departure of the elephant branch OF
the mammalian tree. The British Mu-
scum will probably be duly enriched
by the exhibition of these primitive
types Of elephant life

New Type of steamship.

Consul ]. c. Freeman writes from
Copenhagen: "A company has been
formed in this city for the construc-
ton Of trial steamship of new type.
The inventor is Capt. +. G. Ishoy,
who has taken out patents in tbs
principal countries. In this new form
of steamer the screw is placed under
the bottom instead of aft The hull
is materially changed in form, being
flatter, and the ships draft thereby
considerably lessened. 1t is claimed
that a saving in the consumption of
coal of about 20 per cent will be
effected. The inventor believes that
with the Same amount of fuel the
speed will be greatly increased, and
finally that this form of craft wiz be
much steadier- and more seaworthy."

STEPPED OFF TO MEET FER.
Amusing Incident Told by Louisville
CourIer-JournaI.

Amusing Incident Told by Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Sunday when the excursion train
from Paris filed with negroes bound
for the camp meeting, reached this
city, says the Louisville Courier
Journal it passed the station and
went through Cynthiana at the rate of
about twenty-five miles an hour. the
Idea being to keep the crowd on board
until the arrival at the grounds at the
Falmouth rike crossing. Just before
reaching Pike street a negro man
jumped from the train. OF course,
the momentum of the cars carried
him along at a terrific pace. His
body was going so fast that his legs
could not possibly keep up, but they
made a valiant effort to do so, and
such a lickity- split negro never cut
before. He galloped across the gut
ter at Pike street at tremendous
speed, barely missed telephone pole,
few up into the air, turned couple
Of somersaults, and landed all in
heap in the middle of the street. His
eyes were as big as saucers and seem
ed to pop out. AS he slowly gathered
himself together his trousers were
split, his knees were bruised and
bleeding, his arms were wreRched, his
coat-tails were in tatters, and his
battered stiff hat was mashed down
tight over his ears.
At that moment a negro girl who
knew him came along.
why, how do you do. Mr.. Hop
kins?" she exclaimed.
why, how do you do?" he an
swered in deep, calm tones, with care
fully measured accent. How do you
do? You are looking quite we-we-well.

The population of Moscow shows
remarkably rapid increase. Within
the comparatively short period of 81
years the number of inhabitants has
just about doubled. at the time of the
French invasion In 1872 the urban
Muscovites numbered about 100000,
although the odicial returns were 252,-
600. In 1871 the Official census gave
the population as 100000, in 1882 II
as 76S.000. and according to the
eckoning now completed the historic
capital contains l,I73. 500 Inhabitants,
thus taking the teuth place among the
most pcpIlcus cities OF the world
Moscow covers an area of 101 square
kilometers, or only two kilometers less
than that OF st. Petersburg Area 10
not, however. by any means a general
criterion, in questions of population, al
appears from the fact that whereas
London. with the largest population
of any city in the world. covers 800
square kilometers. New York. with a
population numbering more thap a
million less than that OF the British
metropolis, has total area OF 795
square kilometers. The population OF
MOSCOW is less dense than those of

Most-compiete Report Vet Issued
 from This Department-Is of h.
 terest to the People of Arizona
 The biennial report of Superintend- ent of Public Instruction N. G. Layton was filed with the governor the other day. It is one of the most complete reports of that department ever is- sued. Judge Layton has been in office but a few months, nevertheless he shows a remarkable familiarity with the educational system throughout the territory.
 The public in general should be in terested in the facts contained in this report It gives one an accurate idea of what is being done in the territory to educate the young. The report shows that the number of children in school whose ages are betweeh six and twenty years are 25,259 in 1902. against 23,435 in 1901. There are 275 school districts. as compared with 261 last year. The whole number of schools, 442, against 42S last year. Teachers employed this year, 457; 118 of whom are male and 339 female teachers. The average salary for the male teacher is $S5.51 an increase of s4.68, while the average salary for the female teachers is $71.75, as con- pared with s64.31 last year.
 It goes on to say: The amount paid for teachers salaries for the year ending June 3, 1902, was $10.3342S in excess of that paid for the same pur pose during the preceding year. For libraries the very small amount of $375.55 was expended during the last year of the period. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity in my opinion of library of carefully select ed books in each school in the terri tory. A few dollars each year laid aside for tn1s purpose would be of last Mg benefit if properly expended
 According to the report, Maricopa county has 99 schools. while Yavapai has 61 and Graham 54 In point of number of children, Maricopa leads with 1879, with Graham a good sec ond with 4.406. Both Pima and Co., chise have more school children than Yavapai.
 The bonded indebtedness of Mari copa county school districts combined amounts to $178, ,537.89, which is more than all the other counties combined The bonded indebtedness of the other counties follows: Coconino $15000; Gila $500; Graham $15 5,5O0; Mohave $6.700; Navajo s49.000; Santa Cruz $1O.000; Yavapai $49,000; and Yuma $4,500. It will be noticed that Pima county school districts have no bond ed indebtedness. The expenses at- tendant upon the construction of new schools in this county are defrayed by special assessment. M

 F. M. Abrams was in the city yes terday from Naco trying to arrange a football game between Bisbee and the team of soldiers from Fort Huachuca. He met with enough encouragement to make the outlook for a game bright
 MT. Abrams said that the soldiers would be willing to meet a team from this city. and at any date that would be convenient to the local pig skin kickers. The army team is now in good trim. and will play the Uni versity of Arizona next Tuesday at Tucson.
 Several days ago Billy Swan of this city suggested that team be or ganized to play during the winter months. Already about twenty-five old players and several who are anx- ious to get into the game have stated that they are ready to begin practice at any time.
 It will not be known for few days what action will be taken here on the proposition made by MT. Abrams. The matter will be discussed among the boys and if they feel that team could be gotten together on short notice, the challenge will be accepted.
 The boys are ready to play" said Billy Swan yesterday. and it is only a question of their being able to get into proper shape for a game with team like Fort Huachuca.
 We have the material here, and if given enough time to train would be play any of the teams in the territory. It takes time to get team in shape to play together. and without they do play together they will not stand much show to win out"
 There is some talk of calling a meeting of the local football players for ;hhv purpose of discussing the or ganization of a team. Should team be put in the field, it viii depend on Captain Smith of the baseball team returning to do the most of the coach ing.
