Every now and then some statisti-
clan with too much liver utters figures
showing that the worlds coal supply
will last only a few hundreds of years.
Make it many, many thousands.
China has coal - burn; 200, 1000 square
miles of coal fields, some say. Japan
has plenty more Roumania has
enough for the Balkan states, if ever
they stop burning powder and one an.
others houses. Americas bin will be
full for centuries on centuries. Great
Britain and Germany will not be coal.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

During the year 1904 Siam exported
more han s12. 900, 900 worth Of rice.
Teak wood is second in value.
According to a recent report from
Toxic. there are 1,7S6 wholesale and
235,414 retail tobacco dealers il ia
pan.
The annual value of the mineral
products of Germany is about $25o,-
600, 900. Coal and iron are the most
important.
Prof. T. J. ]. See, of Washington,
has determined the height OF the at
mosphere by a new system. winch
consists in noting the time of sunset
and that of the complete disappear
ance of the blue Of the sky.
With a tensile strength often ex-
ceeding 300, 900 pounds per square men,
steel piano wire seems to be the
strongest material known, and 1t pos
sesses the additional valuable prop
erty Of a very high elastic limit.
1t is stated that the best managers.
pattern designers and dyers In the
Lancashire cotton mills, tempted by
high wages, are going out to INDIA ana
Japan to take charge of mills tnere.
Great quantities of textile machinery
are also being exported.
A peculiar process for separating
n~on-magnetic particles like gold from
sand has been patented by L. L.
Weiss. The metallic particles in mass
are ~electroplated with iron, by a spe-
cial apparatus, and can then be sepa-
rated by any magnetic method.
The use of milk of lime for quickly
and effectively extinguishing fires in
coal mines is recommended by lnspec-
tor Wolfang Hummer, a German. The
suggestion is not new, but has been
newly tested with satisfactory results.
The emulsion-which can be used with
hand or power pumps-runs into and
fills the crevices of the coal or mineral.
Statistics show that since January
/, 1904, % new furnaces, with a ca
pacity of 3,137, 900 tons OF pig iron a
year have. been blown in, and that ID
furnaces, with a capacity OF 1,830,OoO
IONS a year, are now under construc-
ton in the United States. 1t may be
added that plans for as many as 10
modern blast furnaces, in addition to
the 16 now building, are quite sure TO
be put through.

women and small children have beSn
flogged mercilessly. An average of so

Be frank and explicit. That is the
right line to take when you wish to con-
ceal your own mind and to confuse that

The Saint-Saens Recital.

Through the enterprise of Miss Mary A.
Cryder the distinguished French composer
and pianist. Camille Saint-Saens, was heard
in the Columbia Theater yesterday after
noon in a recital of his own compositions
by an audience which, considering the
weather, was ample in size and thoroughly
appreciative of his work. His works heard
were for violin, for voice and for piano, and
the only number on the program not by
Saint-Saens included two songs by Rey.
naldo Hahn. His assistants We're Leon
Rennay, baritone, and Edward Dethier
yiolinist. although the respective accom-
panists-Franz Mulbauer and CASTOR De-
thier-deserve recognition for their clean
cut work.
Mr.. Dettner played the Brumor concerto
and the Rardo capriccioso and Mr. Rennay
sang La Cioche' and "Reverie" and the
piano numbers played by the composer him.
sell We're caprice on the ballet airs from
Gluck's "Alceste." Rhapsodie d'Auvergne
and a transcription of the quartet from the
fourth act of Henry VIII"
Mr.. Dethier opened the program with the
concerto. which. though long and full of
melody, was played SO as to bring out all
the beauties OF the work, and established
the performer as good technician and of
artistic temperament, which fully justified
the liberal applause bestowed upon him at
It's conclusion. His Interpretation of the
rondo was delicious, and he played with
a charm and spirit that still firrner planted
him In the regard of his audience who
would have been glad of an encore Mr.
Rennay's first number was a couple of
songs. "Guand Je fus pris au pavilion"
and L heure EXCUSE" by Hahn, and his
weil-cultivated but slender voice was heard
to good advantage, while in his La Cloche'
and 'Reverie," which were his second Of
fering. his clear enunciation and poetic ex-
preston were appreciated.
1t was in the selections. of the grand old
man himself, however, that the audience
was mostly Interested and after each ap-
pearance he was recalled again and again.
At the conclusion of his first number he
was presented with a splendid laurel
wreath, tied with crimson ribbon, pre-
sumably from the French ambassador, who,
with Mime. Jusserand and party of
friends, occupied a box at the recital
The final number gave one perhaps the
best idea of the great artistic feeling and
skill as an exeeutant. and the listener went
away satisfied that he had heard the best
that was in a man who had passed the al
lotted period of life and still retained In
such a remarkable degree the technical
skill of youth. .s -
