Coal Washing In Great Britain

1t is impossible to deny that English
colliery owners are indebted to German
manufacturers for the best systems Of
coal washing. 1t is well known that
the coal of the Westphalian and Prus-
sian coal fields is greatly inferior to our
own. being got from a greatly disturbed
area and thus they are not only many
bands of dirt, stone, ETC., running
through them, but with the highly in
clined seams there is a greater likeli-
hood of shale and other foreign mat
ter becoming intermixed during excav-
ating and filling. Hence arises the
necessity for careful washing, and the
perfection of mechanical appliances for
doing it. On the other hand, a large
proportion of British coal comes UP
large and clean from the mine, requir-
ing very little picking before before
going into the wagons. The small coal in
many cases does not contain any seri-
Gus amount of dirt and so, for many
years, coal washing, which has been a
been looked upon in this light here.
But recently change has taken place
and the utility of washing coal has been
recognized. This is not because the
good seams of coal referred to are be-
coming exhausted, nor because there is
more dirt in the slack than formerly;
it is simply because colliery owners are
finding that thinner and inferior seams
can be worked to advantage If good
arrangements are made for mechan-
icaly preparing the coal for sale. At
the same time it is admitted that coal
Is now being washed which formerly
was considered good enough for sale
Immediately after screening; but this is
due to the fact that even fairly clean
slack is improved in price with wash
ing.-Mines and Minerals.

WHY poNkEYs DO NOT SHY

The ancestors of the horse We're ac-
customed to roam over the plains,
where every tuft of grass or bush
might conceal an enemy waiting to
spring upon them. Under these cir
cumstances they must often have saved
their lives by starting quickly back or
Jumping to one side when they came
without warming upon some strange
object. This is a habit which has not
left the animal even after long years
OF domestication.
On the other hand, the donkey is de-
scended from animals which lived
among the hills. where there were
precipices and dangerous declivities,
and from these conditions resulted his
slowness and ure-footedness. His an
eestors We're not so liable to sudden at
tacks from wild beasts and snakes
Besides, sudden and wild starts would
have been positively dangerous to
them. Consequently they learned to
avoid the very trick which has been so
useful to the horse. The habit Of eat
ing thistles, which is peculiar alone
TO the donkey. is also descended from
these ancestors. In the dry, barren
localities which they inhabited there
was often little food; hence they
learned TO eat hard, dry and even
prickly plants when there was nothing
else.

PHYSICAL VALUE OF. XAWN.
Expands lunos and with Stretching
Aids Circulation Of Blood,

Expands Lunos and with Stretching
Aids Circulation Of Blood.
During sleep the respiration is shall
low and the expansion Of the lungs il
insufficient for active movement. It
is necessary. therefore, says the De-
troit News-Tribune, to fully expand
the lungs on waking before or as soon
as active movements commence. This
ii effected by a yawn, which is q deep
respiration, assisted by the wide open
ing Of the mouth.
The depth Of the inspiration is often
assisted by raising the arms above the
head and by throwing forward the
chest and thus, yawning and stretch
ing are only parts Of one inspiratory
effort.
Stretching also aids the return OF
the blood to the muscles. During sleep
the circulation is feebler and the skin
seems to be supplied with blood at the
expense of the muscles and on waking
the limbs are stretched to insure their
being in working order and to restore
to them their normal waking blood
supply.
Toward night it is not uncommon
for 4 similar reduction in the depth
Of the respiration and slowing Of the
circulation to take place and this is
corrected by similar yawning and
stretching as on waking.

COTTON HLAzEa TOO EXPENSIVE

Wilson Says South viii Soon See Ito
Folly
Washington, JAM /. - Secretary
Wilson, when asked for an opinion on
the burning of cotton in the South.
said: |
~ 1on't think they are going to
burn much cotton. Farmers will see
the wisdom of holding what they have
OF their crop until another season in
order to, take advantage Of a higher
market, which then will have been
probably created. Next year. they will
plant less and instead of raising cot
ton as their entire crop will plant al.
falfa and other cash products.
"The slump in the market was Gre
ated principally by an increased pro-
duction and the decidedly heavier
weight of the cotton grown. In order
to make their plan of raising the mar
ket price for cotton effective, it would
be necessary for farmers to burn at
least 100000 bales, the total crop
being above 100000 bales.
'The average price Of poor cotton
to-day is about $40 per bale. so that
the burning of 100000 bales would
mean a loss to Southern cotton plant
ers which they could avert by holding
the cotton over for another season."
