Dissecting a Meteor.

department of geology OF the National

chemical analysis of the specimen known
as Ardmore meteorite, has recently is

meteorite which fell near Felix. Perry
county. Ala, on May Is, 1900. This me-

many points of resemblance TO the Ard

Buckford Wallace, a young artist, hnds
himself after years residence In the
gay capital with a franc piece In his
pocket. He stands on bridge that spans
the Seine and looks into the water. lie Is
accosted by a mysterious stranger, who
wrongly believed the young man con-
temOlated suicide. lie proffers his friend
ship and they go to a cafe. They adjourn
to the Rue de Mont-Rouge, where Wal
lace overhears conversation between
his mysterious companion ana another,
which leads him TO suspect that plot is
on foot TO destroy a prince and his party,
who are expected in Paris In the bed-
room is a valise in which he finds the
photographs OF a handsome man and
young matron and OF a beautiful girl, the
Princess Marie -Alexia-- He is awakened
the next morning by person OF wolfish
aspect. whose room he has slept in. lie
still pretends that life Is distasteful 10
him. and is given a purse OF money. lie
learns that the princely family has ar
rived and goes at once TO the prefecture
Of police where he discloses the plot.
He returns to the inn in the Rue de
Mont Rouge. where he meets the man
with the wolflsh face, who conducts him
TO the meeting place OF the secret broth
erhood. Wallace Is attacked by score
of men. He shoots down two OF them,
when the door gives way and he Is pre-
cipitated into the cellar OF an adjoining
building. He Is pursued. but escapes by
Q clever ruse. He changes places with
drunken concierge, and gains admission

he believes will protect him. but is horri-
fed 10 find him dead in his chair, muir
dered. At the same moment the police
break IN and arrest Wallace, whose
hands are bloody from his recent fall. In
eliminating papers are found lpon him.
He Is visited in his cell by a person who
says he is a representative Of the Prince
of Deneslia. When Wallace's cell Is visit

empty.
The police call on the prince and learn
he has sent no one 10 visit Wallace.

The Sch ool Luncheon.

To provide a wholesome variety for the
school luncheon taxes the ingenuity OF

the carrying case is concerned, the chill

ways bit more fastidious in their young
days, are divided in opinion. Some critical
misses declare that the tin boxes, because
they exclude the air. get close smell.
and their opinion is not without founda-
ton, as onyone who has ever carried
luncheons daily can testify.
To be sure. IL care is taken 10 wrap
separately such Ouorous factors as cheese
and pickles much of the difficulty Is re-
moved, but bread and butter. even In the
most toothsome sandwiches, leaves an
odor in an air-tght box. The double
japanese baskets have been used for the
purpose Of late, but they are bulky. A
good many children prefer the pound
wrapped. Parafflne paper is the best
lining and cover for a box. For a basket,
because it is more exposed 10 dust, II is
better 70 use napkin. The paper. by
the way will be found TO be much cheap
er If bought in the large packages. which
can be had at the department stores. The
small fringed napkins are best suited for
the luncheon, and may be folded and
placed on top. after IL has been neatly
covered with the paper. Better economize

Many grown-ups make the mistake of
thinking that a hungry child will eat
anything, and that II a sufficient quan-
tity OF wholesome food has been pro-
vided their responsibility is at an end
But appearance makes a great deal of
difference Sandwiches are the ba sis of
school luncheons. but variety enough
should be given them TO insure the child
against a feeling of repugnance. For
most girls IL is best TO remove the crust

bit OF ribbon. Especially II the child
has not been showing her usual appetite,
the novelty will be pretty apt to appeal
TO her agreeably.
For the filling OF sandwiches almost
anything liked by the child may be en-
ployed. Cold meats OF any sort chopped
fine and seasoned delicately are excellent
for the purpose. Beefsteak. roast beef or
lamb. poultry dried beef occasionally,
sardines, peanut butter. cheese once In
a while. and. in fact, anything liked by
the older members OF the family will be
appreciated by the youngsters. The boys

Fifty years ago the production OF
coal In the United Kingdom amounted
TO little over 50.000.0 900 tons; last year
IL reached 800 tons. The total
output from 1851 90 1900 came TO the
colossal quantity Of $500, ,0oO, 900 tons. or
an average OF 10000 900 tons annually.
These figures, which are taken from a
report prepared for the home Office by
Or. lie Neye Foster. bring out the re-
markabie fact that Great Britain In 1900
produced more than four times as much
coal as was produced half a century
ago.
The increase appears to have gone on
steadily year By year. From 1851 10
1871 the quantity was doubled. BY 1873
lSO,OP0,0OO tons was touched, and six
years later l50 600. 900 tons had been 'ex-
ceeded The output came TO 0.0e0.O 600
tons In 1897, and TO 20,00o.000 tons more
ln 1888. To the further advance OF
100000 tons between 1899 and 1900
Scotland contributed about 40 per cent,

by Yorkshire, Derbyshire aud Noting

while the price OF the 225.1sl.300 tons
in 1900 was no less than f12l 659. $50.
Scotland secured the full benefit OF
this expansion, the extra value obtained
being upwards OF 100000 The rise
In price had no effect in checking the
ever increasing exports OF coal, which

Denmark and Spain had a little more

rose from 1897 ounces In 1899 to 14,00i
ounces in 1900, the value OF the latter
being 952147. Iron, OF course, takes
the leading place in the table of metals
obtained by smelling from ores. The
quantity was a trife less in 1900 than
in 1898, 666,942 tons, as compared with
S46 tons--but the value increased
by more than e25Qo.oO0. or silver there
