will not buy back health, and they can.
not give the pleasure which good

WILL NEVER LACK COAL.
There Is Enough in the Mines OF the
United States to supply Us
indefinitely.

The basis of all iron and steel making
is reliable coking coal and iron ores
suited to the BeSsemer or the basic
process of producing steel. The Con-
nellsvilie district in western Pennsyl-
vania carries the largest known seam
(nine feeD of high grade coking coal.
But the district is distinctly limited,
and at present rate of mining will be
exhausted within a generation. Ma
ture, however, was lavish in providing
reserves. The developments of the
past ten years among the vast bitUmi
nous coal regions of West Virginia,
southwestern Virginia, southeastern
Kentucky and eastern Tennessee, have
revealed deposits of high-grade cox
ing coal that would seem to be ample
to supply the blast furnaces of the
world for centuries to come. 1t is only
question of building railroads, open
ing mines and constructing coke ovens.
Not all good bituminOus coal will make
coke. Indeed, in all the great coal
fields of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri, and important coal sections of
Tennessee and Kentucky, there has not
Deeu IOuHu an acre OF cOklnR coal.
Draw a circle around the COnnellsville
section in Pennsylvania, including the
sO-called Mountain" operations ad-
jacent on the east; another around the
section where Virginia, West Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee meet; an
other around the Warrior coal fields
in Alabama, and a fourth around a
newly-develOped district in Colorado
and Utah and you have all the known
sources of fuel supply for iron and
steel making in the United States.
1t is true that anthracite coal is still
| used in connection with coke in the
| blast furnaces of eastern PENNSYLVANIA,
but it is a small and diminishing factor.
The circles above indicated, however,
embrace deposits so reliable and so
extensive that a rate of consumption
| many times greater than the present
could go on for generations without
raising the first question of exhaus-
| ton.

LOST ARTICLES IN HOTELS.
CareIessness and Haste on the Part
of Guests Responsible for Loss
of Many belongings

One of the foremost hotel managers
of this city, said lately that it was i'm
possible to restrict a large propor-
tion Of the loss of portable articles in
hotels, reports the New York Her
aid.
This loss is not so much due to theft
as to carelessness and hurry on the
part of maids and men and women,
who carry off the teaspoons they have
been using in their rooms, pack up the
hotel towels by mistake and break
good deal that is only missed when an
inventory is taken. This manager said
that a large hotel collects napkins,
spoons and towels stamped with the
names of almost all the other large
hotels in the country and of names in
Europe. The spoon packed away with
the child's medicine by a maid in Paris
is, perhaps, next brought to light in
a New York hotel, where it is sent
down to the kitchen when no longer
needed.
Thus these little but costly things
travel about and defy safekeeping.
There is a great deal of theft, of
course. Servant women wrap table
cloths and sheets around their per-
sons, walters pocket forks, spoons,
knives and napkins, and bartenders
and their helpers carry off bottles of
liquors. So far as possible large ho-
tells board and house their help, be-
cause that makes it more difficult for
theft to be practiced.
