While Hs Lives His Throne 10 Fixed
In the United States.
The part played by coal III the
worlds affairs can well be illustrated
by assuming the available supply to
be suddenly cut off. The huge rail-
road systems of America would stop
at once. So also would the electric
power and lighting In all cities and
suburbs. Steamship service would
cease everywhere. Transit facilities
would be dead. Factories, manufac-
tories and shops would close down,
Vast Industries like steel, iron, copper,
etc, would cease. Armies of laborers
would be thrown out of work. Mails,
schools, the navy, newspapers, foreign
and internal trade-all would cease to
Exist. The trilogy governing CONNER
cial advance, heat, light and power,
except negligible amount of water,
oil, etc, would be annihilated-all this
until some other form of power could
be developed. The possibility OF such
cataclysm Is not imminent, for coal
will reign for some time yet and Is
destined to become power whose ca
pabilities have as yet been compara
lively felt only more family than would
a feather on the hide of an elephant.
The world needs coal. The United
States has that coal to deliver. 1t will
be wholly natural that so potent ne
cessity will make for continued peace
and understanding among the powers
of the world.
The coal mines of Europe are sunk
about 5000 feet deep. Coal is still
being quarried-on the banks Of the
Ohio, and the mines Of Europe are
nearing the limit Of commercial posi-
bility. The manufacturing supremacy
of the old world is passing to the new.
Coal is king and while he lives his
throne is fixed forever in the United
States.-Metropolitan Magazine.

Polish Lad Fell
Into Flooded
Soldier Run
Five Year-O Did Steve Kuto1oski
Drowned Friday Noon
While at Play.
BODY IN THE WATER II HOURS

About 10 As a. m. last Friday, April
80, Steve Kutoloski, a lad a little over
five years old, and younger brother,
were playing along the banks Of Soldier
Run just above the Wcrth street
bridge, near their home, and Steve
ventured too far cut on log lying
along the bank and he slid into the
high and rushing stream and was soon
carried down to death. When the
younger lad saw his brother slide into
the mad waters he ran home and told
his mother and she came out In time
TO see her darling son go down beneath
1.-THE waves for the last time.
The alarm was given and soon q
number OF men were standing along
|the stream ready to do anything pos
|sible to rescue the boy, but they were
too late. While number OF men
searched and dragged the stream Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday for the body
Of the boy it was not found until 10 40
a. m. Monday, 70 hours after the boy
had fallen into the stream. George
Hanley. Isaac Kerr, Dan Bush and
Thomas O'Conner found the body
lodged In some bushes and rubbish just
labove the trolley bridge near the
company store, some three hundred
yards below the place where the boy
had fallen In.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Ibody had been In the water 70 hours,
|it was well preserved aud the round
plump, pretty face of the boy showed
no signs Of having been in the water
so long.
Steve Kutoloski was five years and
six months old. The son OF Mr. and
Mrs. John Kutoloski, Polish people,
who reside In the house near the
Worth street bridge. Funeral service
was held In the Catholic church at
300 a. m. yesterday and interment was
made in the Catholic cemetery.

EARLY CARICATURES.
Quaint Art and Humor of the Ancient
Egyptians.

The fables of Aesop prove that the
ancients were not without a liking for
fun, and the remains Of ancient art
tell the same story. Examples Of ar
tistic humor are more common than is
generally supposed.
A drawing on tile in the New York
museum represents cat dressed as an
Egyptian woman of fashion She is
seated languidly on a chair, slipping
wine out of a small bowl and being
famed and offered dainties by an abb
ject looking tomcat with his tail be-
tween his legs.
The cat figures largely in the ancient
comic groups of animal life. In
papyrus in the British museum flock
of geese are being driven by cat
and herd of goats by two wolves
with crooks and wallets. One of the
wolves is playing double pipe.
There is in Turin papyrus roll that
displays a whole series of such comical
scenes. In the first place, lion,
crocodile and an ape are giving a vo-
cal and instrumental concert. Next
comes an ass dressed, armed and scep-
tered like pharaoh. with majestic
swagger he receives the gifts present
ed to him by cat Of high degree. to
which bull acts as proud conductor.
A lion and gazelle are playing at
draughts, a hippopotamus is perched
In tree, and hawk has climbed into
the tree and is trying to dislodge him.
Another picture shows a pharaoh in
the shape Of rat drawn in a carriage
by prancing greyhounds. He Is pro-
ceeding to storm fort garisoned by
cats having no arms. but teeth and
claws, whereas the rats have battle.

SykesviIIe People
Enjoy Cheap Gas
Every Man May Have a Well
In His Own Back Yard
If He Desires.

Drilling for gas and oil goes on apace
In many localities in jefferson and
Indiana counties, but there is very
little doing as to practical results, ex-
cepting at Sykesville, where everybody
that owns property can have gasser
II they 80 desire.
And they don't need to bore half way
through the earth to get it in the
Stump Creek metropolis, either. Any
old hole ia feet deep will yield gas
at Sykesville, and at least a dozen
families receive their supply OF fuel for
all purposes from a hole 10 the back
yard.
Wednesday a Punxsutawney expert
on gas wells was called up by Mr..
Saddler, a Sykesville merchant, who
wanted to know how to control and
utilize flow Of gas he has had on
hand for several days. Mr.. Saddler
put down a we'll, expecting to get
water, but when the drill got TO a
depth Of ia feet the gas pressure be-
came 80 strong that the digging was
abandoned. The desired information
was telephOned to the inquisitor and
now another Sykesvlle family need not
bother about where tre fuel is to come
from.
J. B. Sykes, the well known hotel
proprietor, OF Sykesville, developed a
we'll several years ago and he is still
getting his fuel from that source. The
rock pressure is not great, but sufficient
for domestic purposes.
1t is reported that the company
which is developing the Paradise tel
ritory, In Henderson township, is hav-
ing more or less trouble The well
on the Andrew Pifer farm is down
2 800 feet, but the drill has not been
operated for several weeks. The com.
pany has about 5000 acres under lease.
and expect to go down $500 feet

Hatmakins In the East Indies.

The making Of bamboo hats is one Of
the chief industries of the natives of
the East Indies, and quite often the
children are more expert than their
mothers in weaving the strips together
and forming the designs, their fingers
being younger and more supple. In
transporting the long stalks Of bamboo
to the factory the natives tie the ends
Of two stalks together. spread them
apart a short distance forward Of the

The Sleeping Sickness.

The terrible sleeping sickness Of
tropical Africa Is discussed at length
In an article in Popular Mechanics
The disease, which long bafIled scien-
lists, Is spread by the tsetse fly, a
bloodsucking, day flying insect. On the
approach of either man or animal at
river crossing In the densest forest
the victim is soon scented out by the
fly, II there is one in the vicinity, and
then, either silently or with peevish
buzz, 1t makes straight for the most
accessible spot and gives its stab.
The usual course of the disease Is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are headache feverish
condition, lassitude and correspond
ing disincllnation to work. The facial
aspect changes, and previously happy
and intelligent looking negro becomes
Instead dull, heavy and apathetlc.
Later, tremor in the tongue develops,
speech is uncertain, and mumbling,
walk shuliling and progressive weak
ness, drowsiness and oblivion to his
surroundings afilict the sufferer. The
last stage is marked by extreme ema-
citation and coma deepening into

An Elixir of Life.
"An annuity is the best elixir of life
l know Of" said the examining physi-
clan of an insurance company. at
sometimes seems as If annuitants
never die. We have lots on our books
who top eighty, ninety and even nine
ty-five years. have passed many a
sickly and decreplt old fellow as a
good annuity risk-the sicklier they
are, you know. the better risk they
make-and the next year he has turn
ed up to collect his annuity rejuvenat-

The secret Is that financial worry, fear
Of the poorhouse, ages and kills Off
more people than all the deadly dis
eases combined. Release an old man
by means of an annuity from all this
worry, and he throws off his years and
walks erect and happy and fearlessly
