The discovery of coal beneath the
chalk cliffs of Dover has given rise
to the hope that 1t may be found In
workable quantities elsewhere In the
south of England.
According to the estimates Of Lewis
B. Stillwell, presented before the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers, the Niagara Falls hydro-elec-
trio plants during the year 1908 saw
ed more than million tons Of coal,
which otherwise would have had to
be burned In order to produce an
equivalent amount of mechanical ener-
gy. During the same year, says Mr..
Stillwell, the Interborough Transit
Company In New York, by Its electric
system saved nearly million tons Of
coal from the amount that would have
been consumed by locomotives. Mr..
Stillwell has also calculated that when
the application Of electric power in the
coal mines of the Northumberland and
Durham district Of England is COM
pleted, there will be saving of 1.750,-
900 tons of coal per year. for use else
where than at the mines.
At recent exhibition in New York
a saw made Of vanadium steel for
wood-cutting was tried on iron. 1t cut
through a twenty-penny nail with ease,
and without injury to the teeth An
iron pipe an inch In diameter was
easily cut with the same saw. Mr.. j.
M. Flannery described the superior
work of vanadium-steel tools intended
for metal.cutting. American tools OF
this kind were tested In comparison
with the best steel tools that could
be obtained from abroad. The other
steels needed grinding after cutting 80
axlss, while the American vanadium
steel worked without attention up to
400 axles. The following is said to
be the best composition for steel OF
this character: vanadium, 0S2 per
cent; tungsten, 1871 per cent; chro-
MUM, 6.95 per cent; carbon. 0.6S2 per

OF touch, too, is no more acute. In
TACT, some tests have shown. 1t is actu-
ally less acute. In general, the senses
OF the blind are, on the average. less
acute than those of persons who can
see. Professor McKendrick thinks
that the ability of the blind to find
their way about, which seems to i'm
ply acuter senses, is really due to in
voluntary concentration of attention,
enabling them to tell directions and
TO perceive air-currents and changes
of temperature which escape the at

Rinening Bananaa.

1t is a familiar fact that bananas
are imported green, but 1t came as a
new thing to a visitor to the banana
district in Colombia to find that ba-
nanas are not permitted to ripen on
the plant even down there. They are
cut and set to hang somewhere until
they wither ripe, as the phrase is. Ba-
nanas do not have to be yellow to
be ripe. That is only the color Of the
skin when it has dried up. To the
person who is accustomed to eating
bananas only when they are yellow 1t
seems odd to peel them when they are
green and find that they are perfectly
ripe within and fit to eat.-New York

KILL HORSES WITH BARLEY.
New York Stables Report a Heavy
Death Rate Due to Western Grain.

New York Stables Report n Heavy
Death Rate Due to Western Grain.
More work horses have died this
year In New York and throughout the
East than In any previous year. and
there is hardly large stable in this
city which has not had one or more
deaths since March, the New York
Herald says. The deaths have all been
caused by intestinal trouble and veter.
inarians attribute the prevalence of
this disease to the mixing Of a very
large percentage of barley with oats
that are shipped here from the West.
Barley is both cheaper and heavier
than oats, which gives a larger profit
to those who mix large quantity and
sell 1t for the lighter grain. Ordi.
narily, there Is from to 10 per cent
of barley used. but this year the per.
centage has run as high as so and 60.
DR.. James H. Ferster, of 936 West
51st street, a veterinarian who has
charge OF horses In many of the
larger stables, said last night that
there was no question, from the post
mortems that had been held. that tbe
excessive quantity of barley was re.
sponsible for many Of the deaths.
Barley is very hard grain for
horses to digest" said DR.. Forster.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
To Clothing Buyers Who Appreciate
Merchandise OF Quality Combined
With SAVING Prices.

With saving Prices.
"If the Clothing Buyers OF Detroit
and Michigan really knew and under
stood our method OF buying and sell
ing clothing we could not hire sales
men enough to wait on them" said
Sol Berman, proprietor of the Misfit
Clothing stores, located at 100 Wood
ward. Al Michigan-ave. and 49 Gratiot-
ave.
Our business has grown so enor-
mously from year to year that our
competitors have become alarmed.
That is natural and the only means
they could employ to try and divert
the rapidly swelling tide headed our
way was to plant seeds Of doubt and
suspicion whenever the opportunity az
forded itself. Someone has said bus
mess is war" and the manuvers or
our competitors In not to be wondered
at This may keep some people from
doing business at our stores. but. as
surely as murder will out" the doubt
ers OF today will one day patronize us
and then they will know the truth, be
happy and our customers even after.
We have never known II to fall to
work out that way.
Our hat Is of to the fellow mer-
chant who can buy and sell to a bet
ter advantage than ourselves. Buying
and selling Is the whole process OF
merchandising and the man who can
buy for less can sell for less and carry
off the major share of the business.
This we long ago recognized and lent
every effort to so entrench ourselves
financially that we would take advan-
tage of the numerous opportunities
that arise every season to buy Clothing
at figures that enables us to sell for
