PARIS, July 30.-Thfs city, which SO
proudly calls itself the metropolis Of
the world, has been a very disagree
able place to dwell in during the last
fortnight. The heat has been terrific,
SO unpleasant. indeed, that even his
cambodgtan Majesty King sisowath,
who had feared that France would be
too cool for his health, has declared
that he felt uncomfortable.
King sfsowath's dancing girls and
the Americans are about the only poo
pie who keep the poor creatures who
have to stay here during the summer
from dying from boredom
The American invasion has been
larger than ever before and although
we have been weaned from the idea
that every American tourist is mill
lionaire. we are still able to entice
quite tidy amount Of dollars from
our transatlantic visitors.

LONDON, July sO.-The popular fall
lacy that King Edward sets the fash.
ions in mems clothes and hats has
long since been exploded.
The king, it is well known, has made
desperate efforts to Introduce gener-

hat, as being far cooler and more
sensible that the black shiny article.
AT all the fashionable race meetings
His Majesty has worn q gray top hat

Coke Industry

EAsHING ON July 81. The re

1905. By M. Edward w. Parker stas
ttstician Of the United States Geolp5
gfcal Survey, Blichs As now in course
sofpreparat Ion. VIII show that the out
put for sos exceeded that of m otEs
er years In the history of the iadtls
try. Not only was the amount Of coke
manufa ctured greater. but the per.
centage of Increase IN prod cttpn oy
er that lof previous years was LARGER.
The amount of coke manufactured in 4
the United States in 1905 was SO s:it
1923 short tons as compared with 2s,=
661, 106 short tons In 1904. indicating
an increase Of 8, 57O. O2s short tons Of
1922 per cent The value increased
in still greater ratio from $46,1 44;941
In 1904 to $72. 476, 1895 lin 1905; a gain
OF 57.06 per cent. This proporttonate
increase in the value of the coke pro-
ductton appears to have been Undue
ed by an extraordinary but legitimate
demand created by the unprecede tented
production Of pig iron in nearly every
iron making district of the United
States. AS a result OF this the aver.
age price per ton advanced from $1.95
in 1904 to 1928 in 1905.
This great activity in the coking
centers was further illustrated b.. the
marked increase in the number Of
ovens built in the United States. IN
1905 there were $40 coke-makins es-
adjustments which owned 1864
ovens, against 5O7, owning s3,S99 ov.
ems in 1904.
OF the total number of completed
ovens in the United States in 1905,
8, 159, Of 3.61 per cent. were Of the by
product recovery type and the total
amount of coke made in these ovens
was 3,462.s4s short tons, of 1914 per
cent. There were under Construction
