counties, and parts Of Northunaber-
land, Columbia, Luzerne, North Hamp-
ton, Monroe and Pike counties, was
bought from the Indians for the paltry
sum Of $4,000. Mr.. Roberts continues:
To-day an acre Of coal land contain
ing three feet Of workable coal will
command from $500 to $500, while a
building lot in Wilkesbarre. on one of
it's busy thoroughfares, will command
more than $4,000. In 176S similar pur-
chase of the Wyoming Valley was eff
fected and the price paid the Indians
was about the same. Dr. Thorp says
in his Fifty Years in Scranton that in
l774 land was sold in the neighborhood
of Scranton for cents an acre; in 1884
the same land could not be bought for
$4,000 an acre."
The anthracite coal supply is not in
exhaustible, but expert opinion may be
at fault in fixing the period of it's con-
tinuance. 1t would be gratifying if the
discovery Of deposits should assure the
continuance of the supply far beyond
the century limit Further develop
mcnts concerning the discovery of the
coal tract near Wilkesbarre will, there
fore, be awaited with much interest by
the public.

TO REACH THE TOP.
From the -Four Track News:

4 oAAt IAAC l. Ou1 1dCh news.
Proverbs are sometimes unintention-
ally discouraging. Where is there a
proVerb which is intended to be any
more full of encouragement than the
assuring one that there is plenty of
room at the top?" yet, to many men,
the top seems so far away that the
proverb tends to deaden rather than
stimulate the effort to gain the coveted
summit, where it is promised there are
rooms to rent. We should not lose
sight of the fact that there is plenty of
room all the way up; that the niche
next above the one we are in is not
crowded. We may not all reach the
top, and if we did the proverb would
prove false; there would be no spare
room there if everybody was a "top
boarder," but that should not deter US
from aiming high and endeavoring to
be as content as possible, even if others
do OVertOp U.S.

The Fish Was Drowned.

FROM the Treat fLufal World.
A German scientist-he could only
have been German-once conceived, we
are told, a plan to train a fish to live
out of water. He placed a thriving
little carp in small tank and with in
finite patience and great exactness re-
moved from the tank one spoonful of
water every day. at the same time in
creasing gradually the amount of
oxygen in the water. In time the
water barely covered the carp, and still
it thrived. The quantity Of water con-
tinued to diminish and by slowly
adapting it's method of breathing to the
new conditions the fish began to
breathe air, and, indeed, became quite
