Statistics on Coal supply,

According to. Statistician Edward
w. Parker Of the United States geo
logical survey it will be from $50 to
2SO years before anthracite coal will
De exhausted in this coUntry. although
we're the present rate of exhaustion
and waste to continue the end would
come in eighty years. But while he
anticipates some increase in this d.
rection in the next decade. after that
he looks for a marked tendency to
economize the supply. He notes the
interesting fact that. although the
production of anthracite has not kept
pace with that of bituminous coal, It
has increased faster than the popula-
ton in the region where most Of It is
consumed. In 1880, he says, 1872 tons
OF anthracite were produced for each
inhabitant of the anthracite using por-
ton of the country. This was in
creased to 2.47 tons per capita by 1890.
and in 1900 to 2.53 tons. Using the
entire population of the United States
as the basis the per capita production
of bituminous coal was ,S5 ton in 1880.
1.76 tons in 1890 and 2.76 tons in 1900.
| In 1860 two-thirds of the coal produced
in the United States was Pennsyl-
vania anthracite. while in 1870 an
thracite constituted one-half the total,
and for the last five years it has
amounted to about one-fifth.

Then she was silent and quite STILL
and he sat and watched the gradual
lifting Of the spirits cloud--watched,
until the Dallor of her face grew lu-

wide open eyes saw, as in vision,
things invisible to mortal sight; but
open to the spirit on that dazzling line

in the illustration. It is designed for
the purpose of hosting and putting
through windows in the upper stories

taken down and compactly put to-

chief advantages is that large articles

the parts take up little space. Planes
could be hoisted with little or no
strain to the instrument, with no dan.
ger of scratches. 1t would also do
away with the trouble of getting up
narrow stairways and passing around
sharp corners. The article to be
hoisted is placed on the carrier, which
is raised by the usual rope run over
pulleys and attached to a roller turn.

New Process in Alloys.

A Philadelphia man claims to have
overcome the difficulties besetting
those who have attempted to make
alloys of copper and iron, and to have
discovered a process of alloying these
metals perfectly homogeneously. The
process consists of melting copper
with mixture of oxide iron and
calcium carbide. Any oxide of iron,
either hemAtite or the black oxide,
can be used. A mixture of three
parts of oxide of iron and one part
calcium carbide is made, and, if it is
desired to obtain so per cent alloy
Of copper and iron, eighteen parts of
this mixture should be used to eight
parts copper. The copper is melted
in crucible and the mixture added,
little at time, the bath being
stirred and the temperature raised
gradually. When the operation is
completed the alloy is found in ingots
of any other desired form. If an al.
10y containing as much as IS per cent
Of iron is required the process is re.
versed, a bath Of iron being substi-
tuted for the bath Of copper and q
mixture Of oxide of copper and cal
cium carbide being AIDED. The invent
or claims that, on account of the fact
one of the metals Is presented to the
other in nascent condition, perfect

THE LATEST IN SHOES

"Honorbilt" and western Lady"
are the names of two new shoes which
are conceded to reach the height of
perfection in shoe making.
The successful originator of these
two lines of perfect shoes is the f.
Mayer Boot & Shoe Co. of Milwaukee,

assure most of our readers of the
quality of these goods.

At that moment Annie was forgot

and covered her face with tears and

oppose parting so Misunderstanding
and so final. The last tears she was
ever to shed dropped from her closed
eyes, as she listened to his departing
steps; and the roll of the carriage
carrying him away forever, seemed to
roll over her shrinking heart. She
cried out feebly-a pitiful little shrill

more full of anguish. Then she be-

TALES OF PRECIOUS STONES.
Diamonds Were Not Known to Us
Until the Discovery Of India.

Until the Discovery Of India.
Not until India was discovered were
diamonds known to the Western
world. The Indians called rock crys-
tai an "unripe diamond" and up to
the eighteenth century India was sup
posed to be the only country where
that precious stone could be found.
Yet as far back as 500 B. c. "didactic
history" of precious stones was writ
ten, and in Pliny's time the supply
must have been plentiful, as he wrote:
I'VE drink out of mass of gems and
our drinking vessels are formed of
emeralds."
1t is difficult to determine whence
all the gems came, as discoverers took
care to leave no record. The nations
which traded in them were afraid of
their whereabouts being known, and
even the most ancient merchants
would not disclose any definite locale.
