The author of Leaves From a Life,
a woman, referring to Charles Reade'S
notion that half the people shut up in
lunatic asylums had no business to be
there, says: "One day he told papa he
had picked out twelve quite sane men
from among the supposed lunatiCs, and
one of the doctors had promised to ask
them all to dinner and give them an
other chance. Would papa come toOf
AS papa knew the doctor and knew
also that ample precautions would be
taken. he agreed, and the dinner duly
came off. All went well. the twelve luna
tics behaved admirably, md Charles
Reade became more and more sure
that he had rescued twelve unfortu-
mates from worse than prison until the
dessert was placed on the table Then
the doctor. turning to the man on his
left. said: Have you been introduced
to your next door neighbor? De is the
Virgin Mary The lunatic leaped to
his feet You lier he screamed. i

ment all the twelve lunatics began to
show themselves in their real colors"

The END OF COAL
SEVERAL YEARS OFF
Anthracite, Says Expert, Is Becoming
Tore and Tore of a Luxury.

In Mines aud Minerals, Edward
w. Parker, of the United States
Geological Survey, estimates the
country's annal production OF coal
as far forward as the year 2o55.
But at that date the United States
will be using more than two
lion tons a year., 500, 900, 900 to
be nearer exact. The average an
nual production during the decade
from 1916 TO 1925 will be about
600. 900, 900 tons. The total pro-
duction in 1907 was 48o,45o,o42
tons.
The geologist prophesies that
future generations will have SO
far developed methods of subduing
and utilizing other forces of ma
ture that the need of coal for the
production of heat, light and power
will to great extent, have been
eliminated" Until these other
natural forces are subdued, how
ever, it appears that there will be
enough coal to supply the nation.
Mr., Parker calls attention to
the rapid consumption of anthra-
cite and to the fact that the cost of
mining it has increased.
With regard to anthracite, "
he says, lit must be remembered
that, with the advances in SYM
pathy with the general tendency
toward higher prices, there is the
additional fact that the bonanza
coal beds have been practically ex
hausted, and the mining of the
deeper and thinner beds increases
the cost, (which must be made up.
as Ishave stated, by higher prices"
Mr.. Parker doubts IF the pro-
ductiOnss OF anthracite will ever
greatly exceed the production of
1907, which wassabout 10000, 900
long tons.aE When the period Of
decline does set in, he says, the
decreases in production will be
| gradual, and some anthracite will
be used we'll into the next century,
andswe may look for a gradually
increasing prices, as the workings
become deeper and thinner beds
are drawn upon"

UkWRITTEN LAW
DANGER TO STAT,
Address Based on Posey= Bowie Case
In Charles Co. and on Thaw Trial.

Gen. a. Allison Wilmer, OF La
Plata, president of the Maryland
State BarSSAssociation, in his ad-
dress at the opening of the annual
meeting otsthe Bar Association at
the Blue Mountain House stirred
the members to pitch of enthu-
siasm. He had no scheduled ad-
dress-that is, he had not an
nounced any specific topic-and
when.he launched forth in an at
tack on the sO-called unwritten
law and expatiated upon it for an
hour he showed that he had studi-
ed the subject very carefully and
was i'll opposition to give argument
and combatEany and all who might
throwsdown the glove in defence
of the other side.
His subject seemed to be based
on the Posey- Bowie shooting case,
in Charles county, more than
year ago.sse Mrs. Posey and her
son shot and killed young Bowie
because of alleged indiscretions on
the part of Mrs. Posey's daughter
and Bowie.
He said there was no such
thing as unwritten law. He argu-
ed that if the 'unwritten law
were permitted to prevail to the
extent that harm would come to
the country. He said that there
were good and sufficient laws on
the statute books in every State
in the Union, but the lack of en-
f)rCement made the "unwritten
law" possible.
He hammered the Harry Thaw
"brain-storm" idea, and the in
sane impulse suggestion,
other ideas that have been wo1 -
into the more recent and prominent
murder trials and cases.
