Where the Coal Goes.

Who uses most Of the coal? First and
foremost of any single industry, the rail-
roads consume from eOOOO.OOO to 100000
600 tons a year and these and steamships
probably use nearly 30 per cent of the
country's output. which is as much or
more than is used for all domestic and
heating purposes. This leaves approx

Coal and manufacturing are terms
which are IN general practice closely re-

Science and War.
from Popular Science Monthly.

From Popular Science Monthly.
Not the least important of the works OF
science is it's effect in the promotion of
general peace. AS the nations are more
closely linked together by means Of trans
portation and communication, their inter
ests become more nearly alike. and they
do not so easily plunge into wars
The applications Of science to war have
at the same time made 1t most terrible
and deadly, SO that nations do not dare
to expose themselves to the chance OF
physical or commercial determination
thereby involved.
II the development of the aeroplane
shall make it possible for a fast cruiser
like the Lusitania to be sent out equipped
with rapid flying machines. which, on
catching the strongest battleship. shall
make 1t possible to sail over her at too
great a height to be shot at, but near
enough to drop high explosives that shall
destroy her, war will be at an end.
The late Edward Atkinson once stated
that all that was necessary to end war
was the invention of gun that should
pick. off generals at headquarters as the
Boer sharpshooters picked off the British
captains and colonies.

WHERE CHINESE SAILORS FAIL
They Never Learn to Tie a Knot
Properly. Saws a Skipper.

From me New YORK sun.
II don't know why it is" said the cap
tain of the tramp steamer in South
Brooklyn, sixty days out from Hong
kong, but you can't teach any of those
Chinese sailors there to tie real knot.
There isn't much need aboard a steam
er for the rope knowledge that used to
be so much the part Of a focs'le training.
but we do need spices and knots now and
again just the same.
Those Chinese there, who were signed
on as A. BIS. can do anything needed in
the way of spices that would make an
up deadeyes better than most of the men
I've shipped.
But you can't get one of 'em to tie a
right knot. Teach 'em again and again,
they remember the lesson for half an
hour. Next time there's a straight every
day knot to be tied the Chinese focs'le
hand makes up the same old granny
Every child that tries to tie a knot
makes a granny. This kind of knot is
made up by passing the ends around
each other in the reverse direction, MAX
ing the ends stand out at right angles.
The ends should be wound around each
other in the same direction. When they
come out of the knot they should lie
knot. Such a knot won't slip. But a
Chinaman can't learn it for keeps-not
he.
THE I4ascar and Malay and Kanaka
learn the right knot easily enough. In
a storm that's one of the things we have
to guard against if we have Chinese
sailors.

Our Women Laborers.

Florence Sanviile. in Harpers Magazine.
The industries which employ most wom-
en- are usually those affording cheap and
unskilled varieties of work. In these in
dustries the process whereby women are
displacing men advances rapidly toward
completion This has been expressed con-
cretely by the United States census,
which showed a it's last taking, in 1900,
that the number of woman workers in the
United States had increased 81 per cent
in the preceding decade; and that where
in 1880 one woman in six had been a
breadwinner in 1890 one woman in every
five earned her own living. In certain
small industrial settlements practically
the whole young female population is en-
ployed in one or two mills. have worked
in factories where the only men in the
building were the superintendent engi-
neer and mechanics. Little girls were en-
ployed even to carry the bobbin trays,
weighing ten pounds each-often loaded
with two or three trays at a time This
increase applies most largely to actually
creative work-tEe making and manufac-
turing OF material things-and not to the
varieties of employment which we have
long accepted as wOmen's work-teaching,
office and store work, domestic service
Yet, in the face of these facts, the
truth remains that women are earnin g
their bread b. performing the same duties
as did theii grandmothers. who, in re-
turn for the spinning. baking and pre-
serving wi ch they contributed to the
household. received their own home and
home comforts. The only difference IL
that today this work is not being done
under the woman's own roof and for her
family alone. but the same hands are
busy with the same duties under a great
collective roof known as a factory; and
the beneficiaries are without number or
name.

by the men. The present custom is
that when a boy is fourteen or sixteen
years of age holes are pierced in his
lower lip, one below each corner of the
mou;h. A small wooden plug is at
hrst inserted to keep the hole from
growing together. and month by month
a bigger and bigger plug is used, till
finally the openings are half an inch
in diameter. At this point the young
man begins to wear stone or ivory
plugs These ornaments are put in
from the inside ordinarily as one
might insert a button into shirt
front Usually the two buttons worn
are each Of different sort, while
sometimes only one Of the holes is
filled, and in summer men are oc-
casiona1ly met with who wear no but-
tons at all. When a visitor is seen
approaching, however, the ornaments
are always inserted. for one does not
feel dressed without them. In prepar-
ing for sleep they are usually removed.

PHILIPPINE CHURCH WORK.
Money and Priests Needed by tho

From the Tablet.
With regard to the Philippines IT Is TO
be noted that while the United Staten will
Continue 20 supply a portion OF the new
bishops il will not be asked to furnish
them all. Mgr. Petrelh. an Italian. sec
rotary to Msr. Agius. has already been
appointed bishop of the newly created
diocese of Lipa, Mgr. Singzon. Filipino.
TO be bishop of the new diocese OF Samar
anu Leyte. and Mgr. Gorardo, also
Filipino has been chosen to succeed the
late Mgr Hendrick as Bishop OF Cebu.
while Mgr MacGinley of the archdlocese
of Philadelphia will rule the old diocese
of Nueva Caceres. 1t is beieNed tnat al
least one other American priest Will be
elected to fill one of the remaining TWO
new dioceses.
There are at present four American
bishops of Philippine sees-Mgr. Harty.
Archbishop of Manila: Mgr. Dougherty.
Bishop of Jaro; Mgr. MacGnley. Bishop
of Nueva Caceres. and Mgr. Carroll.
Bishop of Nueva Segovia. Religiously
speaking the archipelago is stoll In
pa inful plight for lack of priests. Alto
only about LOO to minister to the wants
of 100000 Catholics. and hundreds OF
parishes have been vacant FOR many
years.
The, schism started by Aglipao toward
the close Of the Spanish domination is
not making any progress. At first some
of the American officials were disposed
TO look upon it with a favorable eye, but
when they recognized that Aglipao and
his followers had no more love for the
americans than they had for the Span
iards the sympathy ceased.
On the other hand, however, American
agents Of the Methodists and other Prot
estant sects are pouring men and money
INTO the country and working hard, anu
no, altogether without success, TO make
perverts. An impression used to prevail
perhaps to SOME extent it does still-that
the church i'm the Philippines was enor-
mously rich. The exact contrary Is the
case. The archipelago Is poor in priests.
in churches in Catholic schools, and the
rfe Of a bishop or priest there Is one of
continual trials and anxieties.

1t is perhaps worth recalling that the
arr Of baking loaves came to Europe
uuite late in history. Flat cakes were
baked even in the earliest times, but as
late as the beginning of the nineteenth
entury loaf bread was comparatively un-
known in many parts of the continent
In 1872 for instance, when an English
captain ordered loaves to the value of FL
in Gothenburg the baker stipulated for
payment in advance on the ground that
he would never be able to sell them in
the city if they were left on his hands.
