This M. Baudot, being a personal
friend of M. Raynaud, the director OF
the telegraphic department, found
favor with that gentleman, and the
Baudot system was finally accepted
and universally adopted as the better
of the two. Victor Nimault brought
action against NJ. Baudot and NJ Ray

NJ. Raynaud. The unhappy inventor
was tried. sentenced to Imprisonment

The irony of it all is that poor Nj
mault's system has been in use in
France for many years now; for, after
he was sentenced, it was found to be
preferable to the one adopted and ap-
proved by Raynaud, the then director

From the description this old stove
Is something after the fashion rf the
one which we have here in our state
capitol. 1t stands upon legs or end
supports, similar to those of a sewing
machine, only that they are about half
as high and of much heavier casting.
The total weight of the stove is 500
pounds. 1t is three feet long, thirty
two inches high and one foot wide,
with a hearth extending in front
There is no CRATE in the bottom, the
fire being built directly on the bottom
of the stove, the heat passing from
below the oven, back Of it and over
the top of the pipe. The outside has
scrolls and designs and crowns in re-
lief, much after the fashion of the
stoves of to-day. and on both sides
cast with the metal are the words,

Remarkable Photographs of the Mi
raculous Winding Sheet.

Nj. Nignon read most interesting
paper at the last meeting of the Aca-
DENY of Sciences and exhibited
some photographs which he had taken
of the winding sheet preserved at
Turin and tradtonally said to be that
of Christ. This winding sheet has oil
it certain markings printed in a
brown color which when photograph
ed give white imprint. as does
negative when printed from. These
markings. therefore. act as true
negative, and NJ. Vignon has shown
by certain and very careful expert
ments that cloth impregnated with
Oil and aloes. as was the winding
sheet in question, will receive an i'm
preston when in contact with am
monlacal vapors such as would be
given off from a sweat very rich in
urea, as is the case in the sweat of
person dying a lingering and pain
full death.
Any idea of fraud need not be con
sidered, for no one has touched this
winding sheet since 1858, and no
painter at that date had the skill to
reproduce such an exact drawing. The
impression of the head is excellent.
The wounds produced by the crown of
thorns and the marks of the blood
drops are quite obvious. The wound
in the side and even the marks of the
stripes produced on the back by the
faSellation are also quite evident.
Each Of these stripes has at its end
its enlargement such as would be
produced by a cord with ball of
lead at the end. 1t is well known
that this form of scourge was EN-
ployed by the Roman soldiers and
such a one has been found at Pompeii,

arms are not in the palm of the hand,

How Peerages Die Out.

The recent death Of Lord Vantage
affords curious example of how peer
ages die out He was the first and last
of the line. though the title was not
conferred upon him in 1885 with any
idea of its being only life peerage,
for he was very wealthy man. Lord
Vantage had no children. There has
been a great deal of talk lately about
but it was not generally known that
Lord Vantage was the first peer to
run an establishment Of this kind. He
started model inn in Arlington long
before the rise of the Gothenburg sys-
TEN, and gave the profits to local char
tiles.

MINING ANTHRACITE.


A Brief Account of How Hard Coal is
Taken Out and Prepared for Use.
The process of mining anthracite coal
consists of two methodist and
closed work. Stripping is the process
where the coal lies near the surface of
the ground, as it does in many in
stances in the anthracite field. The
closed work is that done underground,
or at the bottom of a shaft Owing to
the character of the deposits, the room
and pillar system is employed. When
the shaft cannot be placed so as to
reach the lowest point of the deposit
the coal below is reached by inside or
blind shafts or inside slopes. These
shafts, which are sometimes sunk to
a depth of 1000 feet usually have sew
/ eral compartments, one for the pump
way and ladder and two or more for
the hosting. A common size of the
hosting compartments is seven by
! twelve feet. The coal is brought to the
bottom Of the shaft from the inside or
blind shaft by means or small cars and
in some instances sheet-iron shuts, ac-
! cording to the inclination of the shaft,
! according as the blind shaft slopes up
| or down from theb ottom of the shaft
| from the surface.
Anthracite is mined with hard rotary
| drills and by black blasting powder
l Dynamite or giant powder is used for
rock work, sometimes for driving gang

two to three thousand tons of coal a
day.
The tendency of recent years has
been to use more of the smaller sizes
of anthracite, and consequently the
breaking has been done with this end
in view.
Many estimates are given as to the
cost of mining and marketing anthra-
cite. Here is one from the Anthracite
Coal Operators Association letter,
which refers particularly to the small
er sizes of anthracite: Mining and
preparation, $1.25 per ton; transporta-
ton to New York. $1.95 per son; maxi
ing total Of $3.50 portion.
That there is a limit to the supply
of anthracite in this country is recog-
nized by all authorities. The extent of
the anthracite field is but $500 square
miles. 1t is located in the State of
Pennsylvania, and, broadly speaking, is
bounded on the west by the Susquehan-
ma River, on the north by the north
branch of the same river on the east
by the Delaware and Lehigh rivers,
these three rivers forming the drainage
outlet for the region. The valleys con-
tanning the deposits generally run from
north to south. The greatest length
of any Of these valleys is 100 miles,
while the width is perhaps thirty miles.
According TO Lesley these beds of an
thracite coal were originally bituminous
in character and were deposited at the
same time as the bituminous coal of
western and central Pennsylvania, and
were subsequently changed to their
anthracite character by some process
of metamorphism. The original con-
tents of the anthracite coal deposits
have been estimated to be 19507, S72, 325
tons. The annual capacity of the mines
is estimated to be 67,OOO,OOO, while the
market will take less than 5o,000,00C
tons. 1t is estimated that there is
$700,00O,000 invested in the anthracite
. industry. with an annual profit Of from
$S5,oO0,O0O to $100,0OO,OOO, added to by

ways and in some locations for blast
ing the coal itself, where fire damp ne
cessitates f1ameless explosive. Inc
mines are ventilated by rotary fans.
The law requires that each miner shall
be supplied with at least 200 cubic feet
of air per minute. Fire damp is preVa-
lent in many of the anthracite shafts,
necessitating the use of safety lamps
by miners.
The cost of mining anthracite coal is
greater than the cost of mining
bituminous coal, and this cost does not
end when the coal is landed at the sur
| face of the mine. Anthracite as IT.
comes from the mine consists of Jumps
of various sizes, and intermixed with
| these Jumps is a mixture OF rocks.
These humps must be broken and sorted
as to size before the anthracite is
ready for the market, since the
economic use of anthracite requires
that the Jumps must be of as near uni
form size as possible; and as there is
greater demand for the intermediate
sizes the larger Jumps must be broken
down to smaller sizes. This elaborate

of the coal.
Anthracite is prepared for market in
what is known as the coal breaker, a
large building usually built of timber,
but sometimes of steel and iron. The
coal is broken up by machinery, con-
sisting of toothed rolls, after which it
is screened in circular revolving
screens. The slate is picked out by
hand by boys and old men, who sit
along the chutes through which the
screened coal passes. AS far as posi-
