WHAT'S ANTHRACITE?

The word anthracite is readily
spoken, but it is genrally used er.
roneously, for the word is noun
meaning a kind of coal. When we
say ''anthracite coal," we therefore
say coal-coal, or at the most coaly
coal. But this is a minor matter.
It is a coal that does not mass to-
gether in combustion. It neither
melts nor fuses, except at very high
temperatures, such as those that ex-
ist in the blast furnace. This sort of
coal contains more carbon and less
Oil than bituminous coal. It contains
more water but less oil. The carbon
in it ranges from 90 per cent down
to about 80 per cent. The carbon in
bituminous coal varies considerably,
but it rarely rises above 65 per cent,
running down to 40 per cent. It will
thus be seen that there is much more
heat in ton of hard coal than there
is il ton of even the best soft coal.
A ton of superior hard coal is equal
to two tons Of inferior soft coal.
Some hard coal is mined in New
Mexico and Colorado, and some in
Wales, Belgium and France, but
roundly speaking the hard coal of
the world is stored in six counties in
northeastern Pennsylvania. 1t does
not lie in one body. If it did, and
were in square form, every pound of
it would be embraced in a district
thirty miles square. Out OF this de-
posit about 60,0OO,OOO tons are taken
a year. The soft coal product is near
1y three times greater.
Hard coal has many qualities that
commend it to public favor. It can
be used in self-feeding base-burning
stoves, and soft coal because of it's
fusing tendencies cannot be. 1t does
not fill town full of smoke. Its
smoke is scarcely visible. It is COM
paratively speaking a cleanly pro-
duct, and the housekeeper who has
been accustomed to it's use, does not
take kindly to soft coal.

gentlemen did their best to sustain their
courage. Such things often happen, they
said; Sir Hubert might have missed his

he might have met with some friend who

suggested themselves to them, all Of
which were possible aud probable.

lilies, to the fact that owing to the in
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter Of undouhted purity and of the
finest quality, we are now bOttling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re-
suited In an inquiry for an article OF
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of a harmful or deleteri-
GUS nature, and ut a price that would
commend its use to all The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods ut high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled In quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, at much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the hest
hops In the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty Of their purity and quality.

bank saw a huge bird struggling in

swan for the bird. When he reached
it he was amazed to find it bigger
than he had supposed and full of fight.
He bravely attacked it. however, and
managed to tug it ashore. AS soon as
they were out of the water the bird
renewed the battle with fresh vigor
and gave the lad a fierce fight, but as
the bird had one wing broken the boy
succeeded in mastering it before his

time past a young man who was evil
IDENTIFY in the last state of poverty, but
who shared his meal of bread each
day with the sparrows. After some
time the birds got to know him, and
descended in flocks the moment he
appeared. The residents in the square
took great interest in the proceedings,
which they regarded as a touching
evidence of humanity under a ragged
shirt. Unfortunately for the young
man, one more curious than the rest
watched him closely, and observed
that when the sparrows came to feed
out of his hand they were transferred
to his pockets. When arrested the
young man said that he cooked and
ate the sparrows because of his in

Deep Wells in South Dakota.

According to a recent list of well bor-
ings in South Dakota over 400 feet deep
published in No. 81 of the Water Sup
ply and Irrigation Papers of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, out of
about $50 borings sixty-five are over
1000 feet deep and two reach a depth
of $500 feet or nearly half a mile. The
majority of these wells have strong ar
tesion flows with sufficient head to raise
the water in open pipes from 100 to 500
feet above the surface. This great
pressure is used to furnish power for a
variety of purposes. At Aberdeen the
sewage is pumped away by power de-
rived from an artesian well, and else
where in the state electricity is gener-
ated for light and power purposes. The
power from the wells can be easily con-
trolled and greatly adds to their value;
its use does not Interfere with the sub
sequent use of the water for other pur-
poses.

was unceremoniously interrupted by
two steers that had been fighting in
the street. The alderman was trying
a case Of assault and battery. Each
side had lawyers, and things were
lively when two steers came through
the front door. They had been trying
to horn each other in the street,
and one, finding it was getting the
worst of the fight, turned and made
for the office door as the nearest
place of refuge. The entrance of the
steers broke up the trial, the alder
man, lawyers, principals and wit
nesses leaving the office by the near
est means of egress. In moment or
two the steers were in possession of
the office, but the vanquished one
kept on through the room. going out
the back door into the lot in the rear
The other turned and went back to
the street. After the animals left the
trial was resumed.
