FOOT BALL AND ROWING SAND.
The Gridiron Game Calls for More Grit
Grew Man More of Plugger.

From the New York Sun.
1.-THE temperament required for an oars
man and for foot ball player is entirely
different" says an old college athlete who
in his day has had experience in both
sports I'm a shell 1t is not necessary to
have as much grit and fight in your make
up as it is in foot ball game. OF course
it takes sand to stick 1t out to the limit In
a hard four-mile race. but 1t takes moro to
stick 1t out in a hard foot ball game and
to stand the gaff and stand up to your work
for all there is in you when you are tired
and bruised in body.
when man gets in boat all that 10
necessary is to apportion his strength to
the four miles. In other words he must be
a good plugger The foot ball player must
not only have equal endurance, but he
must fight with brain and heart and with
every part of him. He must be able 70
stand up under punishment and foot ball
imposes more wear and tear on the par.
ticipant than rowing. The contest lasts
longer. the player Is keyed up more and he
has to be more on the alert for the varying
emergencies that are constantly arising.
The one is a steady grind, the other an
ever-shifting conflict, and hence the two
sports call for different temperaments.
''The best crews I ever saw" continued
the speaker, but changing the subject.
were the Yale crews of 'SS and '02, ard
the Cornell crew of last year. don't k1o "
but that the last named was the smootke t

strongest and best single oarsman ! ever

who rowed at Yale in the '7O's. He was on
Cooks crew. If I remember rightly. A
picture of his back. is still hanging up in
the Yale gymnasium.
1.-THE advantage the English have over US
in rowing is simply this: They begin to
learn when they are in the preparatory
schools and they all go in for rowing.
Furthermore. they are taught the same
stroke, and they have nothing to unlearn
when they get in college. The English
stroke has a long reach and goes way back
on the recover. This tells on certain mus
cles and these muscles are hardened from
boyhood. However. in this country we are
gradually coming to the same stroke by
all the colleges. I should say that the best
weight for an oarsman is between 100 and
$50 pounds and the best height about five
feet nine. The oarsman should be tall
enough to get good reach"

ler's nose was broken and his head badly
cut. All the injured men were taken to

THE COAL SUPPLY.
Anthracite Newly Discovered Will
Warm World for Years.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Eight veins of anthracite coal were locat-
ed in the upper district. in suburb OF
Wilkesbarre, last week, and twelve veins
now worked in that district, lying below
the new veins, were found to be rich and
apparently very productive. 1t is estimated
that the tract of 1900 acres which includes
the deposits contains 3O0,O00,OOO tons OF
coal; that it would require 6.O00 men to
work 200 years, $50 days in the year, to
bring the vast deposit to the surface Al
usually chara cterizes the first reports OF
discoveries of this nature. the new veins
will probably add greatly to the anthraclte
coal supply. The estimates of the duration
fields are as extensive and productive as
the early predictions indicate. One OF the
dispatches announcing the find says that II
Is estimated that the deposits will FURNISH
anthracite to the world for 20 years.
In Roberts Anthracite Coal Industry"
valuable and Informing work, published In
1901. several estimates Of the probable con.
tinuance Of the anthracite coal fields or
by mining engineers. According to the
forecasts of these authorities, the supply
will last from eighty to 100 years, II the an
nual production be 60OOO.OOO tons. The
total number Of tons mined from 1S2O to
1900 inclusive was /, 197. zoe, 1S1. William
Griffiths mining engineer, calculated that
5O.3, 768, 600 tons are yet to be mined. Mr..
Roberts says II Mr.. Griff1ths' estimate Of
the tons to- be mined is taken we have
about four times as much still In the beds
as has been taken out.
The author notes that all the territory
embracing the anthracite coal fields was
purchased by the government from the In
dams. In 1749 a section 125 miles long and
thirty miles wide, comprising all of Dauph1n
and Schuylkiu counties, and parts OF North
CUMBERLAND Columbia, Luzerne, Northamp-
ton Monroe and Pike counties. was bought
from the Indians for the paltry sum OF
81, 500 Mr.. Roberts continues:
To-day an acre Of coal land containing
three feet OF workable coal will command
from $500 to $500, while a building lot In the
city of Wilkesbarre, on one OF Its busy
thoroughfares, will command more than
$4,000. In 176S a similar purchase OF the
Wyoming Valley was affected, and the
price paid the Indians was about the same.
DIR. Throop says in his Fifty Years in
Scranton that in 1T74 land was sold In the
neighborhood Of Scranton for 4 cents an
acre: In 1884 the same land could not be
bought for s. 900 an acre."
The anthracite coal supply Is not mex
haustible, but expert opinion may be at
fault in fixing the period of it's continuance.
It would be gratifying II the discovery of
deposits should assure the continuance Of
the supply far beyond the century limit.
Further developments concerning the dis
covery Of the coal tract near Wilkesbarre
will, therefore, be awaited with much inter-
est by the public.

Roman Paper Criticises European Com

ROME, April 15.-The Popolo Romano
commenting on yesterdays proposition be-
fore the international agricultural congress
to establish a European zolverein against
America, says
1.-The difficulties in the practical accom-

so grave and complex as to render 1t al
most utopian. The further discussion of
the question has been postponed until the
next session of the congress, which will
probably postpone it still further. 1t is the
best that could be done, the movement
intended to shut off Europe from the coun-
tries over the sea had already aroused in
the United States, which is sensitive on
the subject reactionary current thereby

Prune the Tree to Save It.
From the Portland oregonian.

The idea that to destroy monopoly Is to
destroy business is erroneous, and the ar

Business is promoted by honesty. and not
by injustice. Nothing is more dangerous
than false structures of fair outward SEEM
ing. but supported on insecure foundations.
The idea that to jostle the fabric Of tariff
Inequalities and monopolistic favors enjoy
ed by the trusts will topple our whole
productive system over may be q frfghtfu1
confession of Industrial rottenness. but 1t
affords no guide for wise statesmanship.

precartous regime. the more disastrous viii
