BRILLIANT MINES
 HIGH GRADE COAL
THIS COMPANY HAS 1s,0oo ACRES OF THE FINEST MINERAL LANDS IN ALABAMA--DAvID ROBERTS IS THE PRESIDENT.

The Brilliant Coal company has 19,000 acres of the finest coal lands in Alabama, which it has acquired in becoming the successor to the Aldrich Mining company, Cane Creek Coal company and the Atlas Coal company.
 Their Brilliant coal is an exceptionally high-class steam and domestic commod- ity. It comes from their mine at Brilliant. which has capacity of 300 tons per day. They own 11,000 acres at this place, all of which is in the Brilliant seam
 They have 5000 acres at Calumet, while the mine there has a capacity of 400 tons per day This coal is also of splendid quality.
 They own 1700 acres of the Corona seam, having a mine at Atlas This mine is not in operation at present on account of the dullness of the market, but will be start ed again immediately upon an improve ment of the markets condition.
 The Brilliant and Atlas mines are each equipped with the most modern facilities for the mining of coal. Its haulage sys- tenn is of the most improved, electricity being employed in both this and in ma- chine mining.
 The main offices are located at 427 Woodward building, Birmingham. David Roberts is president and David Roberts, Jr., general manager G. H. Fucker and John London are directors

E. H. HARTMAN SENDS PAPER WITH ORIGINAL AND VALUABLE DATA-coVERs A GREAT MASS OF INTERESTING FACTS.

the aggregate of that transported by 1t during all of the preceding decades; and the ratio in the increase of production of coal for the entire country has come near following this rule for the past 80 years"
 The number of coal cars in use in the country is placed by MT. Hartman at 6S6,717 out of a total of 1,S37,9l4 freight cars.
 He said: "You who produce this coal realize how essential it is to the mining industry that adequate transportation equipment be at your disposal, but do net believe the general public realizes the fact that the railroads must not only furnish the equipment necessary for handling this coal, but also that owing to the lack of local storage facilities, they must have these cars placed at the mine with such regularity as to render con tiDuous mining possible.
 Everybody knows that heavy, crude mineral materials can, under favorable conditions, be carried more cheaply by N ater than they can by rail. The fact that these materials are non-perishable and need not be subject to the demands fot quick delivery renders them, of all freight, best adapted to the necessarily slow water transportation. Perhaps mo- where is this fact demonstrated more clearly than in our present irregular transportation from Pittsburg to New Orleans at cost of less than s1 per ton, even under the existing unfavorable con- ditions. can but wish that such water transportation facilities existed through out the great west, as I would like to have this Pittsburg coal delivered in boats at different points along the Southern, Central and Union Pacific Railway sys- tems, so that our locomotives could be supplied with coal without our having to carry it 20O0 miles in our own freight cars"
 The difference between the total pro- duction of b@tuminous coal and the ton- mage specified by Mir. Hartman as having been transported by rail in 1906 is account ed for by coal used in making coke, as well as that transported by water. This latter tonnage does not include the bus mess of the great lakes or the coal that is trans-shipped by water at other points after rail haul Practically all of 1t originates on the Monongahela river, where many of the mines have tipples for loading direct into barges. This is the only place in the country where coal is mined and shipped in this manner on an important scale.

Finest Erhbit of Celos;as Erer Seen
IN the W0rld

The annual dahlia show of the American Institute.
which is now in progress at Nos ~ anu Il
West 44th street. and will continue to-day. IS oy
far the finest IN its history, but the most notable
exhibit is not one of dahlias but of celosias from
Castlesould Howard Goulds place at Port WASH
ngton. Long Island. Nothing like this has ever be
fore been in this country, for the very sooo
reason that in the world except Mr.. Gould
possesses anything at all resembling these plants
and he never before showed any such collection as
this only a few specimens having been shown at
a number of shows last fall.
The celosia which is a development Of the cox
comb of the old-fashoned gardens. has not. as
heretofore known been particularly ornamental
plant and the new ceosa, or Pride of Castlegoud,
as il has been named, is entirely the result of hVe
years work the part of Mr. Gould's gardener,
Harry Turner, beginning with some fine English
strains By hybridization and selection Mr.. Turner
has produced a tall plant crowned with heads OF
plumy tassels in most delicate shades of rose ana
yellow. tipped with gold, and having peculiar
twisted formation. which adds to the feathery ap-
pearance. These tasses not blossoms, and 1t Is
something of q botanical puzzle to know what to
call them for the real flowers insignificant
things completely hidden among the tassels.
There are twenty varieties of these celosias, and
along with some rare orchids and foliage plants
they cover a space of sixty square feet, making
an exhibit for which Mr.. Gould received a prize OF
$50 He also got q first prize for foreign grapes
The dahlas are said to be the finest ever shown In
this country and competition has been keener than
ever before There are at least five hundred vari-
eties The first prize for an exhibit of fifty Vari-
eties went 10 ". p, Lothrop, of East Bridgewater,

THOSE WTCKED CANDIES.
". c. T. e. Fails to Get Rum Cara
meLs from Frightened Dealers.

Premature publicity given to the campaign or the
New York County woman's Christian Temperance
Union against the sale of candies containing IN
toxicatinr LIQUORS has rather nipped that campaign
in the bud for the present.
At yesterdays convention of that pody' heio at
the Thrty-seventh Street Methodist Episcopal
Church Mrs Helen ]. Andruss said they had not
been able TO get any samples of the candies Inc
dealers were so frightened by the publication OF the
unions intentions in the matter that When an ennis
sary of the union approached them incognito and
asked fer rum caramels they looked innocent ana
declared they never heard of such tnlhss ana
wouldn't sell them for the world
And without samples we can DO nothing SAID
Mrs. Andruss But we shall get evidence in time
and put stop to the selling of these canoies'
Several years ago. with the aid of the Police De-
partrnent we were able to stop the practice, ana
can do so again. Is there much liquor IN those
candies? Indeed there is. In some of the caramels
there Will be as much half teaspoonfui or
rum and YOU can understand the effect they have
on Young girls unused to liquor, and on chidren.
The men who sell them are breaking the law IN
selling LIQUOR without license.
General Bingham and Commissioner Darlington
are going 10 hear from the union in day or TWO
as result Of resolution offered yesterday by
Mrs Emily D. Martin and passed by the conven-
ton Commissioner Darlington will be informed
that the union is hard at work gathering evidence
to Law before him in ~regard to the sale Of intoxi-
eating candies and he and General Bingham VIII
be thanked for their cooperation with the union IN
behalf Of the youth of the city.

CLUSTER FLIES.

In answer to N. ]. HIS question regarding the
cluster fly, the following statement from Z. p
prove Of value:
THE cluster fly Pollenia rudis Fabr) is rather
closely related the house fly. though easily dis
tinguished therefrom by its black thcrax. covered
with rather closely oppressed, tawny hairs, ire
ouently inclining to a greenish shade. and It's
grayish abdomen, with the segments bearing two
anguate black spots and with fuscous margin
1t is about three-eghths Of an inch long The I'M
mature stages of this species have been found
about the of grasses and there is record OF
the insect having been bred from COW dung. Ihls
snecies has the peculiar habit of appearing in
clusters in dwellings during the autumn The mes
must make their way into houses through some
usually overlooked crevces. They can be easily
destroyed by applications cf pyrethrum or insect
powder provided the latter is fresh 1t is per-
hans unnecessary to add that the stupefed insects
should be swept up and burned, otherwise some
may recover and cause further annoyance
