Plant Il Tree.

When eating a good pear or apple
save the seeds and plant them either in
a flower pot, where they will germi-
nate before long, or else directly in the
garden, when they will come up next
spring. TO prevent their loss the place
must be covered as a mark. 1t takes
a number of years before they bear
fruit but to see the progress of growth
from year to year is always interest
ing. People often think it is not worth
while for them to plant trees They
will not live to have fruit of them and
so neglect it entirely. But some one
will enjoy the harvest. 1t is just the
individual egotism which causes so
much unhappiness and affects all
classes of society in many ways

COAL TESTS.

An opportunity has been offered
the coal producers of this country TO
cooperate with the United States Geo.
logical Survey in It's work OF testing
the Goals and lignites Of the United
States. This work was begun at the
Worlds Fair grounds, st. Louis, dur
ing the Exposition and will be con-
tinued along the lines laid down at
that time. The Survey Is DESTROYS OF
securing from operators and others
interested in the problems Of fuel con-
sumption an expression of opinion 40
to whether they desire to cooperate In
this work. Offers of coal for test
ing purposes should be addressed TO
the Director Of the United States Geo
logical Survey, Washington, d. q.
1t is not possible to promise at the
present time that all offers OF coal
will be accepted, but the plan is to
make the investigation as complete
as practicable, distributing the work
as impartially as possible over the
entire country. The distribution Of
the work will depend largely upon
the replies received TO the circular
which the Survey IL now sending out
to coal operators and upon the pres
emit and possible future development
Of the coal and Ignite deposits Of the
several States.
The test will be made for the pur-
pose Of determining the fuel values OF
the different Goals and lignites and
the most economical methods for
their utilization. Arrangements have
been made with the manufacturers OF
the equipment used during the Ex-
position to have practically all OF it's
testing machinery left at the disposal
OF theI Government.
In offering coal for testing pur-
poses, operators are requested TO note
the following conditions with which
Ii is necessary to comply.
1. The coal must be furnished to
the Testing Plant free OF cost TO the
Government.
Q. The coal must be loaded under
the supervision OF one OF the inspec-
tors employed for that purpose, who
shall be at the same time allowed to
visit the working places In the mine
TO procure samples for analysis.
