upturned end of this elbow the 4-inch pipe

The finch pipe is equipped with valves

air pumped into the bottom Of the finch

conditions. others insist that 1t is the best
possible substitute for natural gas. and will
not only drain a well. but will produce q
more rapid and a more even flow than any
other known method. That considerable
faith is felt in compressed air is proved by
the fact that large sums are being ex-

Kelly e1ort will depend solely on the at

President Hornsby OF the City Council
does not believe the bill will be recon-

from the Council.
Delegate Koeln says he's in favor of the
bill. as, he believes, all other members OIL
the House are. but that he would not vote
for its passage just because kelly MADE

MAY SEIZE THE MINES.
Shortage of Anthracite Coal at the Nation
al Capital Mensces Public Bus'ness-An
Departments Are Involved.


Washington, Sept. 3O.-Matters are
very rapidly approaching crisis in
the coal situation in Washington,
not only with the private consumers,
but with the government. But little
attention was paid few weeks ago,
when representatives of the differ
ent departments began complaining
that there was not enough fuel in
sight to keep the buildings lighted
and heated for more than few
weeks.
If there is no fresh supply of coal
before the time for the meeting Of
congress, the legislative body may
not be able to hold it's sessions. The
capitol depends upon electricity for
illumination, a lighting plant being
established in the building. 1t re-
quires 10 or ~ tons of coal a day to
run this plant. The senate con-
sumes about 1000 tons a year, and
the house of representatives a great
er quantity. At this time there is
less than 100 tons in the building.
This is being consumed rapidly. The
embarrassment of the government
through the shortage of fuel may,
it is said, precipitate the question
of the seizure of the mines.

TO FEED THE WORLD
United States Will Produce 2,5oo,-
600, 900 Bushels Corn This Year.
Enough co Supply tho Needs OF All Poo
Piles for Two Years, Even Should
There Be Total Fall
ure In 1908.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Experts Of
the department of agriculture have
been busy making calculations upon
the addition to the wealth of the
nation that is to be added by the
harvesting of the corn crop of the
present year. There is no longer
any danger from frost. The work
of gathering the early crop has been
commenced in some sections, and
the estimates on the years produc-
ton can now be made almost to the
bushel. These estimates show that
the record in the history of cereal
productions is about to be broken.
Figures are available now to show
the crop for the present year will
exceed $500, 900 bushels, enough
to supply the needs of the world for
this year and next, even should there
be total crop failure in 1903.
In 1900 the United States raised
1000, 100000 bushels of corn; in 1901,
1,5OO, 100000 bushels. In 1896 the crop
was near to the present bumper
yield, making 2,2s6,0O0,OO0 bushels.
Last year, because of the scarcity,
corn sold at excessive prices. In
Kansas the farmers obtained 80 cents
q bushel for the crop. The average
price was 60 cents. The whole crop
sold for $929,555,76s. In 1899, when
the crop was twice as large, the
price obtained by the farmers was
$629, 210110. The value of the corn
crops last year was $40 an acre, while
in 1896, the greatest corn year prior
to this one, Sc was the average price
obtained by the farmers. In 1889 corn
sold in some parts of the United
States for 10 cents bushel, the low
est price ever known. The corn crops
of the United States are worth from
5000, O0O,O 900 to $9OO,OOO,0O0 every year.
The exports average from $175,O0O,-
900 to $oOO,0O0,000 annually, or one
tenth of the yield. Only rs per cent.
of the corn raised is exported from
the states where it is grown. Some
states never raise enough corn to sup
ply the home needs. The middle west
states are the principal corn produc-
ers. Illinois is the principal exporter.
