DAVID HENRY DUNCAN, 1865. 1903.

David Henry Duncan was torn iii Nashville, Tennessee, February 22nd, 1865. His father, David Duncan, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to this country when quite young man, and settled in Cincinnati, after wards moving to Tennessee. He mar ried Miss Harriett Dobb, of Philadel- phia, whose brother gained great dis tinction as an Instructor in Gambler College; another brother, the Rev. Alexander Dobb was rector for many years of the historic and famous trinity church in New Orleans. Dur ing the great epidemic of Yellow dus of people from the stricken city, he endeared himself to all. by remain ing with his peoples while many urged him to leave, and escape the plague. He stood by his post, like the true man he was, and he and his wife, after faithful service to the sick and dying. succumbed to the dreaded disease. \ tablet in the church speaks for him and his noble work where he ministered as a faithful shepherd.
 A son of Rev. Alexander Dobb was also clergyman of distinctions; he died in his pulpit in Frankfort, Ken lucky, while in the act of blessing his people.
 David Henry Duncan spent most of his childhood in Paducah, Ken lucky, with his father who operated a large Hub and Spoke Factory When only boy, the care and re- sponsibility of the business fell upor his shoulde4s, on account of the fail ing health of his father; he manfull, met his duty, and as his sister, Mrs T. w.

and ship Building.

There is not less than POO 600 900 tons OF
coal deposited in Japan. This coal IL
now being mined at the rate Of 1900. 600
tons a year. The coal seams usually
vary from three to eight feet thick.
and are mostly so conveniently situated
that they can be worked by incline, there
being very few shafts in operation yet.
Some shafts are. however. being sunk
70 a depth Of 900 feet, and two 800 foot
shafts have just recently started work
ing.
In the north. in the island Of Hokkaido,
a coal field containing thirteen seams,
Of which the thinnest is three feet thick,
has been discovered; in another part Of
the same island twenty seams have been
found. five at least being workable, while
i'm still another district there are three
excellent seams. OF which one is twenty
five feet thick and OF great extent. In
the south. In the Island OF Kiushiu. the
coal measures are at least thirty miles
long by from eight to sixteen miles wide,
and are estimated to contain 0O0. 900 900
tons. or about half the entire quantity

The initial outlay on the Imperial Steel
Works at Wakamatsu. Japan. was un-
necessa rily heavy, and this handicapped
the enterprise somewhat; but the Gov

already attained success mechan anically.
This plant Is now in full operation and
employs over 900 men.

these works, and IL Is intended to so ex-
tend and develop the concern AS TO render
