EnaIand,s Coal Fields.

A French author. NJ. Loze, has again
brought up the question of the prob
able duration of the British coal fields.
Assuming that the prosperity and pow
er of Great Britain depend upon her
supply of coal he thinks that the
end of Britain" is due within the
present century. He fixes the date
1850 for the complete exhaustion of
the attainsble supply of coal in the
British Isles.
To this statement reply is made
that NJ. Loze has failed to take ac-
count of recent investigations proving
that mining can be economically car
ried on at much greater depths than
1000 feet-the limit assumed by the
French author-and consequently the
British coal supply will last indefinite
ly longer than his calculation shows

FORTUNE IN HIS LUCKY COIN
Pocket Piece, Carried by Man for 55
Years, Proves to Be Worth
$1,000.

The grimly humorous goddess OF for
tunes good and i'll never wrought for
the heroes Of a Scheherazade or a
Hans Anderson a stranger trick than
that by which she recently thrust a
fortune into the pocket of an unsus-
pecting grocer's clerk of Los Angeles.
He is Charles L. Cross, a clerk for
Frank A Vale, a grocer OF South
Main street. For nearly fifty-tive years
be has carried as a lucky pocket piece
q silver half dollar of the same date
as the year of his birth, 1858.
And 1t has justified his faith in its
lucliness at last, for from being mere
ly a battered and war worn four bit
piece of ancient vintage and doubtful
beauty it has suddenly leaped to rel
atively enormous value as the second
known coin of that date in existence.
Twenty-Five hundred dollars was re-
fused with scorn by the owner OF the
only other 1853 half dollar known to
exist-rated as the most valuable coin
now in the exhibit of the, American
Numismatic association in Chicago.
There are few individual coins OF
greater value by record of their rarity
than the 1853 half dollar, even the his
toric dollar of 1904 taking back seat
when 1t comes to relative scarcity.
More than half century ago in his
native town of Niles, Mich, the coin
was given to Cross as a birthday pres
ent because It was struck of In the
same year of his birth. 1t went into
the pocket of young Charles first pair
of pants and in his trousers pocket 1t
has remained ever since.
Cross is now fifty-eight years old
and his life has not always been an
easy one. He has seen the time when
his lucky piece was silent in his peck
ct because there was not even penny
there to Jingle with it. There have
been times when he has taken the
four bits from its resting place and
was about to sacrifice it for It's equiv
alent in bread and beans because, ex-
cept for It, ne was absolutely dead
broke, hungry and without where to
lay his head.
There has always been in the back
Of his head the whimsical idea that 1t
would some time bring him luck. And
It has brought him luck.
