CAPE BRETON COAL ESTIMATE,
An Authoritative Estimate of Coal
Production and Profits.

An Authoritative Estimate of Coal
Production and Profits.
An estimate of production and pro-
fits Of the Cape Breton coal fields
that have created 80 much interest
In Iowa because Of the forming Of the
Cape Breton Coal and Iron Co. of Des
Moines has been given to the public
by Canadian mines official.
Estimates on both the coal and iron
fields Of the island place the tonnage
OF these two industrial necessities at
figures far beyond comprehension.
The Cape Breton Coal and Iron Com
pany's holdings Of 10000 acres Of
coal lands at the government report
of rs to 60 feet thickness Of veins and
at the usual estimate Of 1000 tons of
coal per acre for every foot thickness
gives at the minimum of all figures
325, 900 900 tons of coal that this COM
pany alone possesses. The latest re-
port on profits places the average
profit on Cape Breton coal at $500
per ton; cut this in half and the posi-
BILE profits on this company's coal are
as alone exceed $325,0O0,000, sum
scarcely conceivable. Besides these
coal acres, the company owns 10000
acres Of rich iron lands and other
mineral deposits.
Active buying of stock in this COM
pany is reported and rise in price
Is limited far beyond the special 15c
price, at which the stock Is now sold.

FRANCE and the Peanut.

Can It be that the hot roasted pea
nut is destined to be to France what
the baked bean is to Boston? Strange
things have been unoarthed by the
State Department, but none stranger
than that the Yankees pet fruit is
rapidly becoming the Frenchman's per-
petual delight
The American "goober' has already
stormed the French vaudeville theatres
and opera houses, and the latest adj
vices declare that it is successfully
holding the fort against all corners.
The floors of popular restaurants are
carpeted with the shells, and the walks
in the public grounds are specklcd with
the shucks.
Marsellles alone consumed 10000
bags of the American dainty and loud
ly called for moro. The merry note Of
the roaster's whistle is heard on the
street corner, and every day is circus
day over there.
It seems, however, that plebeian
product from Africa is having the
audacity to question Americas SUI
premacy as the peanut country OF the
world. 1t is cheap, this African pea
nut, and on that score it appeals to a
frugal and indiscriminating public
But cultivated taste declares Unre-
servedly for the American NUT re-
CARELESS of expense. Score another tri-
umph for our glorious Institutions

We are ahead OF London in some
things, far behind in others. a young
artist, who styles himself a mature
student" made a study Of the slum3 OF
London while abroad recently and
spent a night in what is known as the

wildly pathetic. This institution is for
men only. 1t consists mainly Of large
shed, with row after row of benches
having high backs The inmates pay
penny each, for which sum they have
the privilege Of sitting up all night and
sleeping with their heads resting on
their folded arms, which are supported
in turn by the backs OF the benches in
front Of them At midnight the place
is crowded almost to suffocation. Each
sitter is allowed sixteen inches Ct
bench. 1t must indeed be horrible 10

I do not see how one could obtain any
actual rest or relaxation. AS q matter
Of fact, there can be no rest without
relaxation. Many persons have a heart

If they slept in an upright position.

THE EMPEROR Of ETHIOPIA
rhat is MeneliI's Title, and lie IS De-
scendnnt Of Solomon.

soendant Of Solomon.
And who is the Emperor Of Ethiopia?
Those Who happen 70 know may con
slider It an absurdly easy question to
answer. But such IS the ignorance OF
things most necessary TO know in
which our people are sunk, that only a
few are aware that Menellk IL. Of
Abysslnia has borne that title since
1889. He used TO be called the negug,
his full title being negus negasti, mean
Ing king Of kings The Abysslnian
monarch used 10 he n mere King OF
Choa. But now he rules the united
kingdoms Of Choa, Godjam, Diimma,
Kaffa and Watamo, with some other
provinces Consequently he Is an en-
peror.
Ancient blood Is expected In IN en-
peror. and It IS remarkable that he OF
AbysSinia, the most obscure of the Inn
perial band, is Of the oldest stock Of all.
At least. that is his claim. Ailu, his
father. came of the old royal family Of
Ethiopia that traced its descent to
| Menelik l., son Of Solomon by the
Queen of Sheba. Ailu was eldest son
Of a great chief named Sella-Selassic.
under whom the kingdom Of Choa at
tanned to its highest pitch Of power.
Now Sela-Sciassie's own name had
formerly been Meneik, but he had
been warned by q monk TO change it,
otherwise he would suffer great misfor-
tune. He should, however, said the
monk. call the son of his first born by
the name of Menellk. and the child so
christened would one day be the con-
queror Of all Ethiopia and the greatest
OF her rulers since the days OF Menelik
l., son Of Solomon. AS soon, therefore,
as the grandson was born he was
named Menelik. The really curious
thing about this story is that It was
certainly told and retailed by an italian
traveller some years before Menelill
conquered Ethiopia" and consolidated
his realm.-London News.
