Does any one realize the power of
coal as a worker? A man was set to
work to pump as hard as he could all
day, and at the M of ten hoars II
was found that he had done Just as
much work as n little less than two
ounces of coal could do. Taking all
the energy put forth by a hardwork-
ing man during one whole year. the
same amount of force would he fur
nished by thirty-six pounds of good
coal. or say forty pounds of average
coal. OF course even in our best en-.
gines the greater part of the working
energy of coal Is wasted. But even
II only one-tenth Is turned to account
one and n half hundredweight of coal
is equal t. a man working 0 days
of the year A horse can do as much
work as ten men. but one and a quar-
ter pounds of coal have as much work
ing force as a horse expends In one
day. So that q ton of coal. If we
could use all Its force. would do as
much work as six horses working for

Curiositjes of Sound.

There are mysteries In the transmits
sion of sound that have not yet been
fathomed. For example. the guns OF
thetQrion are said to have been heard
n~inety-seven miles away, though In
audible to those much Nearer, and IL
is on RECORD that the re%verberation of
the battle of Waterloo reached many
places in Kent. though General Col
Vile and his detachment heard nothing
of 1t a dozen miles away. Whistles.
boots, sirens INT noises OF all kinds
have been tested by the Trinity House
lnsorder to find a noise which will be
infallibly heard for a certain distance
in vain. They may all be heard for II
dozen miles and be inaudible at half n
mile. Many of the disasters about our
coasts are doubtless due to that mys
terious "soundless zone" In which the
human ear cannot catch the warning.
But no one mas yet discovered the rea-
son of that deaf spot or prophesied its
varying locality. Westminster Gazette
