WE MUST SAVE OUR COAL.
By Andrew Carnegie,

Unless there be careful husband

or some industrial revolution comes
which cannot now be foreseen, the
greater part Of that estimated
2,J00,000,O00,OO0 tons of coal form

gone before the end of the next CEN
fury, say 200 years hence.
Still more wasteful than our proc
esses of mining are our methods of
consuming coal. Of all the coal
burned in the power plants Of the
country, not more than from { to
10 per cent of the potentiaI energy

trimmed with lace. All colors are
