WHAT A LUMP OF COAL CAN DO.

\ single pound Of coal is capable OF
producing 236 horsepower, and could do
the work of an express locomotive for
one-hfth of a minute. In other words
il is enough 20 haul a train of eight
cars. including the Pullman sleeping cars
and dining cars, at the rate or fifty
miles an hour one-siXth of a mile.
In saving wood a man may work al
the rate of about sixty strokes d min
ute. and his saw blade may have pro-
gresSed five feet a minute, but a circu-
lar saw. driven by machinery, will cut
seventy times as much wood In the same
time And yet this one little pound OF
coal contains power enough for $50 such

presents and cards on New Years day
is recorded almost as far back as his
tory goes The practice of using visit
ing cards can be traced back for thou
sands of years by the Chinese Their
New Years visiting cards are curiosi-
ties. Each one sets forth not only the
name, but all the titles. of its owner.
and, as all Cinnamon who have any
social position at all have about a
dozen, 1t makes the list quite appalling.
These cards are made of silk or else OF
fine paper backed with silk and are so
large that they have to be rolled up to
be carried conveniently. They are, in
deed, so valuable that they are return
ed to their owners.
