What is the approximate value Of coal
land in the anthracite fields of the United
States: I'll. FREU\D.
An exact estimate Of the total capital
in coal land is difficult to make, as
the price varies from $500 to 5000 an
acre. In 1889 an estimate was given
by John Birkenbine. who placed it at
$162, 100000 which did not include I'M
developed land The census of 1890
gives 213.93S acres. valued at S1Oi, 40
500. The total average as estimated
by William Griffiths in The Bond Rec
ord 1896. is 261. 800 acres. If We csti-
mate this at $500 an acre We have
S133 800 as an approximate csti-
mate of the value Of coal land.

MEDICAL INVENTIONS.

Hospital patients can now be nursed

Gently patented an ingenious little ma
chine, consisting of small box, in
which is a self-registering thermom-
eter, connected electrically with a tiny
bell This register is put under the
armpit of person suffering from
fever, and when his temperature rises
the bell rings, and the doctor or nurse
is summoned.
Dr. Laborde of the French academy
of medicine has recently constructed A
wonderful little electric machine for re-
storing persons unconscious from
drowning, suffocation or similar causes.
1t IS called the electric tOngue-tractor,

Bangs. who is an insurance man iiv-

other night with some brother under

very domestic man who does not often
stay out nights, but on this occasion it
was very late when he got home, re-
lates the New York Times
The last thing before he went 10 bed
he set the alarm clock for the next
morning; or rather, that morning. He
had an errand in the Oranges which he
wished 10 do early in the day. But
after he got into bed he weakened. He
reflected that he would have so little
sleep that his head would be bad all
day. and that he could go to Orange

dropped the clock in.
He went back to bed. but the matter
still worried him. He thought tho
clock might make itself heard even
from the sequestered eXclusiveneSS Of

nifty he rose and battered through the
fiat again. He removed the clock and
carried it into the bathroom. which
was cut off from the rest of the fiat,
and necessitated a trip into the hall

when he woke brought him cup of
coffee. But at the breakfast table she
casually inquired:
What did you carry the alarm clock
into the bathroom last night for,
George"
George paused and reflected. and it
was not until that moment that it
swept over him that he could have at
tanned the desired end more easily and
expeditiously by setting the alarm for
ward a few hours.
He looked steadfastly at his egg and
said:
