ENeLAND's COAL SUPPLY.

To satisfy the prevailing anxiety in
England over the fuel problem, a
careful survey OF her coal deposits has
been made. with the result OF discov-
ering that there is coal enough in the
United Kingdom to- a depth of 1000
feet, sufficient at the present rate Of
output to last 81 years.
This estimate does not take into
consideration the fact that with inn
proved machinery and skill It might
be possible to carry on mining at a
depth of 1000 feet. The supply may
be still further extended by the eco
nomical use Of electricity.
II England's fuel supply is assured
for 81 years she need have no alarm.
By that time coal may have become
quite obsolete as fuel.-Boston Globe

co-EDucATIoN AND MARRIAGE.

Co-education does not discourage
matrimony in America. In every high
school where boys and girls are
brought together there are budding ro-
mances that not infrequently flower
into matrimony, and as for the col
leges and universities where men and
women meet on an equal basis the
conditions are extremely favorable to
matrlmony. and seldom are these mar
riages unhappy. Indeed, so far from
college education uniting woman
for the duties OF domesticity the spec
tacle OF college-bred woman in the
divorce courts is practically unknown.

FRENCH WOMEN AND SPORTS.

The necessity of chaperonage has
largely interfered with the physical
development of the French girl. It is
not to be expected that mother or
an aunt or other person qualified to

enthusiasm as a young player. Some

REAL POWER OF THE PRESS.

But is It not plain that the power
OF the press as saving agency de-
ponds not so much on the skill of
journalists as on their nobility of
character and their moral motive?
When we see so many accomplished
public men, adopts in all the technical
arts of politics, putting their power
to unpatTiotic and selfish uses, IL
seems to us that the salvation of the
republic depends more on the instruc-
ton and quickening of conscience
than on greater capacity for work.
This is also the peculiar needs of
journalists, and especially of proprie-
tors OF journals. who. as rule, will
be capitalists, not trained in any

NEW CONSUMPTION TREATMENT

A new remedial agent giving great
promise of future success in the treat
ment of consumption is being tried
by two st. Louis physicians. The rem
edy is a very powerful proteid, which
Is found in healthy blood, and the
theory is that its use increases the
carrying power of the blood so that
the dread disease can be thrown off
by the patient The drug is given in
ternally, inhaled in the form of spray
or, in extreme cases, injected hypo-
dermically. It is very rapid in its
action. the beneficial effect being
noticeable in few days. 1t is alleged
that one patient, who was unable to
rise from bed after receiving the
treatment for seven days walked
distance of four blocks and climbed
fight of stairs. Il is earnestly to be
hoped that further investigation will
prove the new remedy capable of all
that is claimed for lt.-Utlca Globe.

Ten Years Growth.

Facts have Just been complied by
the University OF Missouri which show
the growth OF that institution IN the
last ten years. The most striking thing
brought out is the increase in attend
ance in spite Of the fact that entrance
requirements have almost doubled in
that time. In the year 1898 "a, 7l2
students we're enrolled in all depart
ments Of the University; while this
year, with the higher standards in all
departments, the total enrolment was
1,649. The attendance in the academic
department, which offers more adj
vanced work of the same general char
acter as that done in the high school,
has increased In these ten years from
22l to 594; in law from n to 1876; in
medicine from A to So; IN engineering
from SO to 274; in military from l66 TO
2O2; in mining aud ~metallurgy from
119 to 1914. The agricultural depart
ment shows a decrease from PSI TO
14i. This, however, Is accounted for
by more than double requirements for
entrance in that department which
make 1t a real professional school aud
not the mere dumping grounds for
students without SUFFICIENT preparation
TO enter other departments.
