It's because fall the world loves q
lover" that there is such unusual interest
in the matrimonial event that will take
place in Washington next Saturday. Lit
orally, as the world is interested and will
have share in the ceremonies and fes.
tiyities.
To remember Miss Roosevelt as a bride
will be genuine pleasure to thousands
who may live to zee and read OF her as
a grandmother. In other countries it is
the custom to preserve the memories of
great weddings like that of Miss Roose-
welt and Mr.. Longworth, with some ap-
propriate souvenir. The custom is TO be
adopted in this country by The North
american, OF Philadelphia, which on sun
day next will publish as part Of its reg
ular edition handsome photogravure re-
production OF the best likeness of the
Presidents Oldest daughter. The bride
herself selected from scores what she
considered the best photograph OF herself,
and it is from this that the reproduction
has been made. 1t has been excellently
printed on high-quality paper in photo.
graph brown, the tone that reproduces
the original, aud by process that renders
it more artistic. 1t is a picture that is
worthy of preservation in any home, and
will certainly be kept by thousands as
reminder Of the most brilliant of White
House weddings.
In the same issue Of the paper there
will be a full detailed account of the
wedding ceremony of the previous day,
and illustrations showing the magnifi-
cence of the ceremony and the incidental
festivities. The best descriptive writer's
of The North Americans staff and its ablest
artists will contribute their best efforts.

THE WASTE OF COAL

Americans are noted the
world over as an extravagant
race. Economy is surely a vir.
tue about which the people ol
this country care little. Hut in
no other respect, perhaps are
Americans more wasteful than
in the use Of coal. This brand OF
fuel is consumed at a flightful
rapidity. Judged by the way in
which they are turned intoSashes
it might be supposed that every
hill from Maine to California were
bursting with unmined isnthra.
cite or bituminous. In round mum.
bers, the United States burns
$50, 900, 900 tons of coal every
year, which cost the consumers
approximately 300, 900, 600. This
is moderate estimate, although
while householders pay upwards
of 81 a ton for anthracite in the
Eastern cities, the great bulk of
bituminous cost the consumer
less than 80 a ton. There is
nearly five times as much soft
coal burned as hard coal.
"The United States Geological
survey is now carrying on a SER
les of Investigations with a. view
to stopping the needless waste
of this precious fuel. How to
get the same amount of heat or
energy by consuming less doal is
the problem. So far its expert
ments have been interesting, even
if they do not reveal any speci
ally new fact or may not be fruit
full of immediate and practical
results.
'tIt has been demonstrated
with Iowa bituminous that "a ton
of coal, if first converted into gas
and then burned, will produce
almost three times as much en-
ergy as if the coal were put un-
der boiler to generate steam di-
rectly. In other words, a CPS en-
gine eats up only a third Cf the
coal that must be fed into a steam
engine that will do the same work
Off-hand, this looks as if at one
stroke the nation might save
nearly $500, 900, 900 annually.
However, like many az lother
experiment which works hand
somely in theory, this one is less
satisfactory in practice. Engi-
neerlng experts say that while the
gas generation saves nearly two
thirds of the coal required by d.
rect steaming, yet the far greater
cost of installing and maintaining
the gas engines just about con.
sumes the difference, SO, that
there is but little economyiafter
all. Nevertheless, it will bel for
tunate day when way is discov-
cred to stop the awful waste of
coal which is now depicting the
country's fuel resources with ap-
palling rapidity.' '-PhiLa Press.

Board OF Trade made against bucket
shops in the first years Of this century,
caught Christie stealing quotations by
means OF delicately adjusted telephone
receiver concealed behind the black
board in legitimate brokers' Office,
and connected with his own plant by
hidden wires. This quotation thievery
was broken mp, and in 1900 Christie be
