Hamlet.

AT the first performance of Hamlet
upon any stage the applause was very
slight, and with it had been mingled
a few Kisses. There was no call for
the author from applauders or hissers,
and Burbage was in a terrible fury.
Hunting up the crestfallen author OF
the play, he roared:
Shakespeare, this Hamlet of yours
is rotten! There isn't an epigram
from one end to the other, and no So
ciety play can hope TO succeed with.
out 'em. Queen Elizabeth is asleep in
her box, and Sir Walter Raleigh has
just kicked hound into the street to

sert couple of dozen of of glittering
epigrams into it by tomorrow's re.
hearsal or I'll turn it into a musical
comedy by introducing ballet and
making the grave diggers Yiddish
comedians!"
Next morning the trembling author
handed in sheaf of Pineroesque sen.
fences that embraced the following:
"Brevity is the soul of wit"
conscience doth make towards OF
us ALL"
"Frailty, thy name is woman"
Tis trne, it's pity, and pity tbs it's
true"
Evidently they added the touch that
playgoers wanted, for Hamlet Is run.

VERY LITTLE HAND LABOR
At Least 90 Per Cent. of Factory Work
of the World Is Now Done
by Machinery.

Year by year more and more of the
work of the world is taken up by ma
chinery. In a bulletin recently issued
by the government it is estimated that
100000 factory workers in the Unit
ed States turn out product equal to
the hand labor of 100000 men.
This means that IN the factories 90
per cent. of the work is done by ma
chinery. A very large part OF this ma
chinery is driven by steam power,
which means largely coal power, and
both the getting and burning of this
coal involves a terrible waste. In
the United States alone the production
OF coal now reaches nearly 500,0O0,00O
tons, and in the whole world far above
1,OO0,000,000 tons. And it Is estimated
that this means the actual mining of
half again as much coal. Onethird is
lost or left in the mines in such shape
that 1t cannot be used
= Then of this net pToduction-the
two-thirds remaining-perhaps 90 per
cent. is lost in the burning. At least
this is true of the coal used in engines.
Even the finest quadruple- expansion
engines, with all modern devices of SUI
peTheated steam and the like to aug
ment their capacity, do not utilize
more than Ii per cent. of the energy
stored in the coal, while the average
steam engine of commercial use does
not get more than six or seven per
cent. In other words, IL is only about
three per cent. Of the chained.up sun.
light in the ground that eventually be.
comes available for human needs.
And, further than this, the mere
hauling and handling and storage and
distribution of this coal costs the
United States alone probably full
S1,O00,000,000. The coal traffic is, in.
deed, the chief item of railway trans
portation. From all this it is stuff.
GENTLY clear why the problem of uti.
lizing coal energy has SO deeply en-
gagged the minds of inventors and ell.
gineers, and why ever a relatively
small gain would mean so much to the
human race.-Collier's Weekly.
