SCIENTISTS OF OLD.
Conclusions of Ancient Philosophers
frequently Accepted by Moderns.

In literature and art the supremacy OF
the ancients has long been recognized, and
1t is gradually dswning upon the modern
mind that, in their main conclusions, the
philosophers of Greece and. Rome were in
general accord with the trend of modern
scientific thought. Professor L. J. j. Lee,
in a contribution to the Proceeding of
the Philadelphia Society, considers, from a
present-day point of view, the theory of
earthquakes entertained by the ~ancients.
After discussing the application of Four
icr's analysis to the problem of the cool
ing of the earth his main conclusion would
appear to be that the contraction of the
crust at the present time is insufficient to
account for the existence of earthquakes.
He then considers the theories OF the
ancient philosophers-in particular Plato,
Aristotle. Strabo and Pliny-regarding the
cause of earthquakes. These authorities all
held that water and air penetrate Into the
earth through hollows, assures aud crew
ices, thus developing vapor in the heated
interior, a part of which Is expelled from
volcanoes; and they also held that earth
quakes are due TO the pressure Of elastic
vapors seeking to di6use themselves into
the atmosphere, whether these vapors
break through and form eruptions or re-
main hidden in the earth.
Professor Lees conclusion point to the
general inference that these ancient The
cries are, in their main substance. in
complete accord with the results OF modern
scientific investigation. Incidentally refer
cnce is made TO the scarcity Of reliable
translations Of the Greek works referred to,

COAL PRODUCTION IN 'O7.
U. S. Geological Survey Report
Shows Small Increase.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Returns re-
eeived by the Geological Survey indi-
cate that the production of coal in the
United States in 1907 amounted to be-
tween 400, 900, 900 and 460, 000, 900 short
tons, an increase of about 10 per cent.
over the record breaking output of 1906.
The most significant increase was
made in the production of Pennsyl-
vania anthracite, in which there was
a gain of over 20 per cent
The shipments of anthracite in 1907
amounted to 81, 109, 800 long tons, against
55, sos, 595 long tons in 1906. This would
indicate a total production for the year
of approximately 76,S66.00 900 long tons.
or IS, $40, 900 short tons.
Letters received from a number of
the larger operators and from State
officials indicate that the total produc-
ton of bituminous coal in 1907 ex-
ceeded that of the previous year by 7
to 10 per cent.
Had it not been for the disturbances
in financial circles the production of
bituminous coal in 1907 would proba-
bly, have shown an increase almost
comparable with the gain in anthra-
cite production. 1t is almost certain
that the increase in bituminous produc-
ton would have amounted to Is per
cent. and that the total would have
been between 800, 900, 900 and 400, 900, 900
short tons. AS it is, the production will
probably fall about 25, 200, 900 tons short
of that figure.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Answering
the criticisms directed at the Public
Service Commission for recommending
in its annual report the construction
of an elevated structure along the

Chairman William r.. Wilcox declared
that the powers and position of the
commission with reference to the situa-
ton. especially the Sake law, had been
understood.
Mr.. Wilcox pointed out that the
commission had suggested the original
railroad resolution because of its ad-
vantages as compared with the other
plans suggested. Among the advan-
tages was the possibility of using the
structure for the movement Of pas
