The Result of Peohantre's Plot 60
XIII the King.
Probably no well meaning poet was
ever more taken by surprise than was
NJ Pechantre, q gentle and mild mail
nered French dramatist of the seven
teenth century, who was one day or
rested for high treason as he was
peacefully eating his dinner at a vii
lsge inn.
The landlord OF the inn where he
was in the habit of dining discovered
on a table a piece OF paper on which
were written some unintelligible
phrases and below in a plain, bold
hand, Here l will kill the king"
The landlord consulted with the chief
OF police. Clearly this clew to a con-
spiracy ought to be followed up. The
person who had left the paper had al
ready been remarked for his absent
air and cleaning eye. That man was
Pechantre.
The chief Of police instructed the
landlord to send for him the next time
the conspirator came to dinner.
When Pechantre was shown the evil
dence of his guilt, he forgot the awful
charge against him and exclaimed;
well, l am glad to see that paper.

a thick manuscript from his pocket.
Monsieur, you may finish your din

the chief of police, and he beat a hasty

Coal Used by Romans.

It is believed by some historians that
coal was used by the Romans on the
continent and by the Rritons on the is
land before the arrival Of Caesar AS
early as 1884 Henry III. granted H.
cense to dig coal near Newcastle, but
a few years later the use Of coal was
forbidden IN London, the smoke being
deemed prejudicial to public health
In 1906 the London gentry petltioned
the king against its use, declaring that
ia spite Of his royal order certain ma
licious persons persisted IN burning it,
Goals began to be brought from New
castle to London In 1881, during the
reign of Richard ii. By the year 400
coal was commonly burned in London
as fuel, though 200 years later, In
the reign Of Charles l., its use was far
from being general throughout Eng
land. Anthracite coal, which, except
the diamond, is the purest form of car,
bon known, was first used by a Con-
necticut blacksmith named Gore in
17GS and as domestic fuel by Judge
Jesse Fell Of Wilkesbarre, Pa, in 1908
