The British Guin ea.

It is among the things generally
known that the guinea obtained its
name from the gold from which it was
made having been brought from the
Guinea coast by the African company
of traders The first notice Of this
gold was in 1919, during the common
wealth of England, when on the 18th of
April of that year the parliament re-
ferred to the council of state a paper
presented to the house concerning the
coinage of gold brought in a ship lately
come from "Guiny" for the better adj
vancing of trade. But it was in the
reign of Charles II. that the name was
first given to this coin. 1t is among
things not generally known that when
the guinea was originally coined the
intention was to make it current as
twenty shilling piece, but from an er-
ror or rather a series of errors, in cal
culating the exact proportions of the
value of gold and silver it never cir
culated for that value. Sir Isaac New
ton in his time fixed the true value OIL
the guinea in relation to silver at 2Os
3d., and by his advice the crown pro
claimed that for the future it shoule
be current at 81 shillings.

IMPURITIES IN COAL.

"
Value of the Fuel when Convertee
Into Blast Furnace Coke.
The purpose of washing coal is 10
free 1t as nearly as practicable OF all
matter that reduces its heating ca
pacity or has a detrimental effect upon
the metal produced with such coal OF
with coke made from such coal.
The impurities in coal are OF TWO
kinds, such as are chemically passive
but which do not produce heat, >but, on
the contrary, absorb heat and clog the
openings in the CRATES by forming
ashes and clinkers. They must be re-
peatedly handled, shipped and freight
paid for them, and are a burden al
around.
The other kinds of impurities are
chiefly iron pyrites, an ore COMPOUND
of iron and sulphur, containing as
much as SO per cent of the latter ele-
ment. There occurs also frequently
some PHOSPHORUS, which remains III
| the ashes. The sulphur and phosphof-
Gus are both injurious to the qualty
of iron produced in a blast furnace,
and for this reason it is very important
that coal or coke for blast furnace use
shall be as free from those two ele-
ments as possible. The PHOSPHORUS
occurs in the ash producing matter and
remains there unless it is given an OPP
portunity to chemically combine Win
iron, lime or other matter for which II
has an affinity.
The value of furnace coke is based
apart from general commercial rea
sons, upon it's degree of purity IRON
ashes, sulphur and PHOSPHORUS.
The ashes entering a blast furnace
with the coke, cannot be disposed OF
as under ordinary conditions, as, for IN
stance, when fuel is burned upol
CRATES, but it must be melted and thus
converted into Stag. But the heat In
blast furnace is not sufficiently intens'
to melt the ashes, except if some othe
; element is added to the charge Whlcl
melts readily and has the property o
inducing the ashes to melt also. Sucl
elements are in metallurgy called lux

THE RIeNEss OF TAEr.

Let us hope that the new secretary
of war was not taking a fling at his
distinguished predecessor when he or
dered new official chair and desk, ex-
planning that the articles of furniture
used by Mr.. Root were not large
enough for him.
Secretary Taft is a big man, in the
matter of avoirdupois, but we have no
less authority than the president for
the statement that Mr.. Root was the
greatest man of modern times-and the
president does not even except himself
"a touch Of modesty that should ap-
peal to his detractors. 1t is therefore
possible that the president will not like
this first official act Of the new seere-
tary in ordering a chair to fit him.
Surely chair that was capable of sus-
tanning the massive brain of Mr.. Root
should be held. as a matter of courtesy.
a comfortable fit for the great BODY of
his successor.
Secretary Taft made no bones about
stepping into Roots shoes; he should
not make trouble in a fashion that
permits of misinterpretation about
the fit Of things in his new shop. AS
governor of our possessions beyond the
seas he has been going about in such
fashion as made most for his comfort.
A satrapy beyond the seas should be
made as comfortable as possible and
there is no manner of doubt that while
Gov. Taft was benevolently assimilat-
ing the Filipinos he took such precau-
lions as he could for his physical com
fort. He will miss the divans of the
Orient in his new surroundings, but he
must accommodate himself to these
latter if he is to give complete salts
faction as the successor of the great
est man Of contemporary times-we
believe Col. Roosevelt did limit him
self to the present in describing the
greatness of Root.
If Secretary Taft is to retain the
countenance of his distinguished chief
he might better go in little for bant-
Ing and leave the chair alone. When
he finds his quarters too cramped he
might take his ease on bench, leaving
undisturbed the chairs and traditions

souri,.
The United States government, as
we have already said, has been more
the st. Louis exposition. 1t has grant
ed all the support that it can rightfully
or properly give. 1t ought not to spend
another dollar on the project Let the
local managers and the local interest
behind the exposition rely upon their
own efforts and resources. These will
be found fully equal to the task when
it is understood that they will not be
reinforced from Washington. If, how
ever, the government were to give fur
Their help, it ought to be in the form Of
an outright gift and not of loan.
1t is almost incredible that any SEN
ator or representative should favor set
ting the precedent Of leaning the faith
and credit of the United States to any
private enterprise. Surely we had
enough of that in the old days of the
Union and the Central Pacific. Surely
every man knows that the sanctioning
of such a policy in these days of graft
and pull would be like letting the
ocean in upon the federal treasury.
Moreover, the scheme is thoroughly in
sincere, since nobody believes that a
dollar Of the money would ever be paid
back, and those who must vote it if it
is given do not believe it themselves.
Some time and some where a halt
must be called upon the lavish and i'm
proper expenditure of money by con-
gress, and upon the continued widen
ing Of the breach through which pri-
vate influence fills its pockets at the

TAKE oEE UNSAFE CARS.

Perhaps the serious accident OH the
Selby avenue hill on Wednesday may
at last induce the street railway COM
pany to withdraw from service the old
bobtaiI cars 1t is to the failure of the
brakes to hold one of these in place
that the disaster was due; and the
company is rarely fortunate, as were
the passengers, that the casualty list
was no longer. A look at the wrecked
car will show the violence of the col
lision and raises wonder that, at
time when cars are crowded, more peo-
pie were not badly wounded or killed.
1t is but few days since something
even worse came near happening. One
of these old cars was on the down
trip and slowed down at the top of the
hill to connect with the dummy or
pusher But again the brakes failed
to work, and it ran with a tremendous
shock against the dummy. Fortunate
ly that held fast, or all Of them might
have been piled in a heap at the foot
of the grade together.
There does not seem to be any eX-
cuse for keeping these rickety old We
hicles in service any longer. They are
an eyesore and nuisance, and expe-
rience has proved that they are ex-
pensive as we'll. Nothing but motives
of economy can explain the policy of
the company in keeping them in store
for the busy hours of the day. The
new cars are cheaper to operate, when
first cost has been paid; and very few
accidents like that which has just hap
pened will good deal more than COW
er the difference in first cost.
Certainly the public is in no temper
to make excuses for the running of
these antiquated and unsafe cars at
the cost Of safety. The Selby avenue
grade is bad enough at the best. No
car line should run upon it. The hill
should have been tunneled in the first
instance. 1t is not the fault of the
street railway company that this was
not done, but of foolish and short
sighted DIRECTORS among the property
owners. Since the company, however,
accepted the decision and uses the line
as it is, and since it has gone to the
expense Of putting in the counter
weight, why not add a few dollars
more and run none but cars that can
be kept under control on that or on
any other line in the city2

The age is not one of sentiment. In
the process of elimination, by means of
which a machine like perfection in the
carrying on of the various industries
has been attained, the merely orna-
mental qualities were long ago dropped.
Nothing superfluous is today permit
ted; everything is reduced to its low
est working terms. But that the world
occasionally rebels against this effect
Of commonplace order is evidenced by
the fact that it cordially welcomes any
event that suggests a departure. ~ Ma
ture, which spells sentiment, has more
power to make the whole world kin
than it has ever had. The interest
aroused in the plans for the christen-
Ing of the steamship Dakota is pretty
proof of this. The world might bestow
but passing thought on the launch
ing of a ship, however great it was, but
the wedding of a big state to a bigger
ocean with that ship as proxy implies
something besides a merely unitarian
purpose, and the world pauses in its
work to look on.
Time was when the wedding of an
inland state to the sea would have been
an act wholly meaningless and there
fore ridiculous. Today such nuntiaIs
are impressive because they are ap-
propriate-quite as appropriate as the
nuptials of Venice and the Adriatic.
Modern methods of transportation have
provided the inland state with long
arms that reach to the sea. and these

bring to the ocean rich gifts as a token
of its affection and it's splendid gem
crosby. The states life blood tingles
IN those arms. and they are powerful
enough to nullify the distance that lies
between the heart of the state and tho
ocean. The wedding Of the two. there
fore, is one of fact as well as of fancy.

reality of the attachment, it reads in
the event which will bring together
Dakota and the sea something better
than the observance of a pretty cus-
tom. 1t reads in it history of the past

forecast of the future. The launching
of the Dakota becomes, therefore. a
historic event in the annals of COM
merce and one that is fraught with
special Importance for the Northwest.

say that Eagle Bend can go this a few
