A hindrance to Industrial growth,
second in importance TO that of the
demand of the war chests, is the lack
of coal. All the coal used on the rail
roads and in the factories is shipped
from other countries, aud Italy's bal
ance is reduced each year by the full
amount of her fuel BILL This not
only has a most unfavorable effect
upon her balance of trade, but is very
much higher than is the cost in any
of the other countries with which she
must compete industrially. At Ital-
ian seaports the price of coal ranges
from seven dollars TO ten dollars a
ton. In Milan manufacturers pay SI2
ton for coal for which German
manufacturers pay six dollars, which
the English manufacturers can get for
four dollars and which is laid down at
many factories in the United States
at $3.50 a ton Seribner's

took the nest home and hung it in the

several days ago, when his wife was

was started in the parlor The room
soon became warm, and their atten-

buzzing, and the next instant the room
was filled with hornets that came from
the ornamental nest. The heat caused
them to come out, and resulted in a
rush to escape from the room. Several

insects, and over an hours time was
consumed driving them from the house.

HERD OF DRIED CATTLE.
Colorado Desert a Monument
OF Mans Folly.

I'm crossing the Colorado desert
in Arizona one sees a frightful monu-
ment to the folly of a man who
thought that he could drive cattle
across the desert with such speed
that water would be unnecessary.
said 5. I. James. in the Pittsburg
Press. .More than 10000 carcasses
lie at The Pools in that desert, and
remind all travellers of the gigantic
scheme TO drive cattle through a
desert country without making any
provision for water. 1t was 30 years
ago that an extensive cattleman, who
was not familiar with the great des-
ert of the southwest, thought it
would be no barrier to his plan of
taking cattle across il from the west
into the grazing country. When the
cattle reached The Pools, which are
small lakes OF foul alkali water, they
were so crazed by thirst that they
killed each other in their attempt
TO get AT the water The air in
that country is so dry and the sun
so hot that carcasses dry up instead
Of deeomposing, As one approaches
that great herd of dead animals the
carcasses look as though they were
poorly fed cattle The hair has not
fallen from the carcasses, and they
have maintained their original shape
SO well that a man who is not ia.

easily mistake them for beasts until
