Movement of lcebergs.

In the investigation of the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland it
has been observed that there Is at
times a wide difference in the direction
of the drift Of icebergs and that Of the
fat or pan ice, which, having no great
depth, is governed in its motions by
the surface currents and the winds,
whereas the icebergs, the larger parts
Of which are submerged TO a great
depth, follow only the movement OF
the ocean water as a whole and are
uninhuenced by the winds. In conse-
quence huge berg may often be
seen majestically maintaining its slow
advance in opposition to the wind and
across the general motion Of the fields
Of fat ice surrounding it. The sealers
often take advantage Of this fact by
mooring their vessels to an iceberg
in order to prevent a drift to leeward.

Bituminous Coal.

The first bituminous coal mined in
the United States, states the United
States geological survey, was taken
from what is usually termed the Rich
mond basin, a small area IN the south
eastern portion Of Virginia, near the
city Of Richmond This basin is stu
ated on the eastern margin Of the
Piedmont plateau, thirteen miles above
tidewater, on the James river 1t lies
in Goochland, HenricO. Powhatan and
Chesterfield counties. The coal beds
are much distorted, and the coal is or
rather low grade when compared with
that from other districts with which
it has to come into competition. The
occurrence of coal was known in the
Richmond basin as early as 100, and
in 1889 shipments were made to some
of the northern states. At present
what little coal is produced in this
field is for local consumption only

SATURDAY EVENING. MAR. %. 81 .
The PIP and the Slip.


Too much mince pie had done tne
trick.
Little Mamie got a pain in her sash
and had to go to bed.
The family physician and his Top
hat called and prescribed a pill. Mai
mics mother said very well, but Inc
family physician did not know Mamie,
and she was quite sure Mamie would
not take the pill. The family physi-
clan said he would make 1t sweet
Dill, but Maimies mother replied that
SO long as it was a pill it would be
no use.
Then the family physician was
struck with brilliant idea. The pill
should be craftily concealed in the
center of preserved pear and sent
I'D TO little Mamie to eat.
An hour later Maimie's mother went
TO see how her sweetest dear was
going on. She appeared to be going
on excellently.
"And did my pet eat all her pear|
INQUIRED the fond mother
'Yes, mumsie," replied the little dar-
ling, "all but the nasty seed"
There's many a slip 'twixt the pear
and the pip.-London Answers.

Hunting the Kangaroo.

When brought to bay the kangaroo
jumps like a flash for the hunters
chest and tries TO crush it in with his
fore feet. To prevent this each man
wears across his breast two or three
inch thick mating. Armed with a
spear, with a club attachment at the
other end, they ride upon swift horses
into herd. With the agility and equi-
poise of circus riders they stand erect
upon their horses and use their spears
and clubs.
The kangaroo is able TO jump clear
over horse AS the game is bagged
it is skinned, and the skin is stretched
on the ground and pegged down to pre-
vent shrinkage. The flesh furnishes
meat for the camp. Each man places
his private mark upon his booty, and
when they have 100 apiece they return
back to civilization.
