FR0H OTHER PENS
PLENTY OF COAL.

Alarmists who occasionally come to
the front with estimates as to the
worlds coal supply, and speculation as
to how heat and power can be provid-
ed when the earth's bins give out"
are faced with interesting figures in
the current humber of the Manufac-
turers' Record, in an article by Prof
Charles M. Gould, of Oklahoma. The
professor tells of the coal fields of his
state, and particularly OF the principal
one, which extends from the Arkansas
line near Fort Smith for a distance Of
125 miles to the southwest, under an
area OF 437,743 acres. The estimates
as to the volume of coal underlying
this area run from 1900 tons to 1000
tons an acre, or a total OF from 1,252,-
GIG, 900 to 5000 100000 tons according to
the method Of mining employed. There
are coal veins of great richness in In
dian Territory also.
There is no ground for fear as to the
future of the worlds coal supply. I'M
mense deposits still undreamed of will
doubtless be discovered and brought to
light like the coal resources of Okla
homa, in time to quiet those who con-
lure fear as to the future. Meanwhile
the inventive genius of the world Will
be providing ways by which the energy
resident in coal can be more fully ut1l-
lied, and thus establish substantial
economies. The producer gas engine is
rapidly taking the place of the steam
engine because it can provide the same
power with SO per cent less COAL and
improvements in heating apparatus
and the extension of heat distribution
systems are establishing economics In
that direction. There is justification
for a wise conservation of coal In the
interest of posterity. but no cause
whatever for fear as to the worlds sup

to "pure cussedness'' as country peo-
pie sometimes express it. We claim
that the mule Is about the most un-
certain animal that perambulates on
four legs-or on two, for that matter.
The most careful student of his ma
ture and habits never knows what to
expect OF him. The most familiar
mule expert can never even guess
famous Maud act. One will draw a
pillow for hours SO quietly, docilely
and satisfactorily that all idea Of fear
is banished and then, when the
psychological movement comes he will
kick the driver over the fence or run
away and muss things. one will take
a jog trot along in way to lull his
rider into a condition of delightful
security and then suddenly throw him
into a briar-patch or a mud-hole. He
will remain quiet and amiable while
being fed and rubbed down and then
kick his owner through the door.
We insist and are free to maintain
that there is no accounting for mules.
Whether they get their erratic dis
position and habits from that far

OF brooding over mixed percentages
and hard treatment or whatever may
be the controlling cause, we cannot

decidedly precarious. 1t may be, as
the Raleigh Times states, that brood
ing over their real or .fancied wrongs
may produce brainstorms and other
ailments which cause them to be stub
born at times and uncomfortably
vivacious at others. But who can
fathom a mules mind-if he has one

uNusrp WATER POWER.

Gov Charles g. Deneen, Of Illinois.
writing in the Technical World Maya
zine for April, on the water wealth Of
his state, estimates the business value
of the water power which can be de-
veloped by the use of turbine wheels In
Illinois streams, at not less than $176,-
000, 900. It is calculated that the wa
ter power of the state can be made to
pay 81 ,0oo, 900 or $4,000 year.
If this is true Of Illinois what must
be the value of the unused water power
Of other states? Governor Deneen
speaks for one of the flattest parts Of
the country. He writes of a state in
which the great water power develop
ment, so far, has been accomplished
by turning the course Of the Chicago
river backwards and diverting some OF
the outward flow of Lake Michigan
from the st. Lawrence basin into the
Mississippi Valley. Aside from this
Chicago better drainage, Illinois has
less water power to use than Ohio.
This state has no great rivers, but
there are many of considerable size,
and they run a swifter and more
broken course than the streams Of I'LL
