until about the eighteenth century when
the steam engine was brought forward
in 7O5 and was applied to coal In New
castle about 1715.
Coke Valued Product
The most useful of the products of
coal is the coke obtained when the
coal is beated in an oven. 1t may be
defined as the cellular mass left after
the expulsion of the volatile products
OF coal. In general the operation of
coke making varies little from that of
charcoal making, the only difference be-
ing that the carbon molecules are
broken up more completely in the coke.
requiring higher heat. In colxing the
organic compounds are destroyed and
the decomposition form new products
at the higher temperature. Gas begins
to come off when the charge reaches
the temperature of 100C, the highest
temperature of the charge being 1909
degree G. The time required for cox
Ing is from Is to 70 hours. varying
with the coal and the type of oven.
The products beside coke are illumin-
ating gas, ammonia liquor, tar and
asphaltum.
There are various types of ovens
used. The oven most used for the MAX
ing is from Is to 72 hours, varying
mace use Is the beehive although it is
predicted that in the near future tho
byproduct oven will have completely
taken its place.
The advantage of the byproduct oven
over the beehive Is the utilization of
the byproducts of the coal besides coke.
The coke as used In the blast fur
mace is to reduce the ores by combin-
ing with the oxygen in theirs.
The, objects of coking are to get a
fuel rich in carbons by expelling vol
atile constituents; to get fuel giving
no gas or smoke which would interfere
with the metalurgical operations; to
get an infusable fuel which will not
swell or soften in heating in the fur
mace, and to reduce the sulphur present
in coal in organic compounds combined
with iron.

where there Is danger of an explosion
the miner uses explosives of less flame
or even hydraulic wedges. In some
mines, mainly those in Illinois, the coal
is blasted from the vein as ore is mined
but this is not as good a method SIS
fine coal Is not as valuable as lump
coal
The coal when broken down Is rough
ly sorted by the miner and his helper
and then Is loaded into cars which are
hauled to the main shaft by mules
Here the cars are made up into trains
and are thus sent along tracks to the
bottom of the shaft, hence to be trans
formed to the tracks on the surface
Occasionally coal is found so near to
the surfaceashat it may be had by the
process known as stripping. Then coal
is sometimes found in pockets along
side hill and this Is known as pocket
mining.
In the shafts the chambers are dug
out to the side 80 >or 40 feet in length
and the supports of timbers are put
under the roofs and around the walls
After all the coal is taken out of these
veins the timbers are taken out and the
chambers are allowed to collapse.
The coal when brought to the sur
face is screened out at many mines and
is then sold as lump and slack; but at
others where there are many different
grades sold the coal is broken and
washed and break is employed so as
to get exactly the size of coal desired
Coal mining dates back to about the
end of the twelfth century. Coal as an
inflammable substance seems to have
been known to the ancients and to
the Britons before the Romans in
yaded their isle. But it was not in use
then because the forests We're so ex
tensive as to afford a supply of fuel
much more easy of access.
The uses of coal We're not very great
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

Coal and its products comprise
the most important features OF
the Industrial life of Birming-
ham. In nearly every one of the
great manufacturing plants of
the district coal has some bear
ing, either direct or indirect,
on the finished product Despite
the important part which this
gift of nature takes in the pro-
ress and development of this sec
tion, there are comparatively
few persons not directly engaged
in Industrial pursuits who know
anthing at all concerning its or
igin, the process of mining and
Its products.

Daddy Bedtime

N ACK had lost his bali. ant. the next day the little boys who belonged to

AW Jack could not find it.
Wish / had a fairy around to do my remembering for me-" Jack
grumbed al he and Evelyn came up for their bedtime story.
do you,- sn?' daddy answered. Well I'm very glad you haven't I can
tel" you q story about a little chap who had just such a fairy
"He was n Of those boys who are always forgetting. When one day he
went to school without his books he va punished for forgetting them, and he

HE made the wish out loud as he vas coming home from school, Some.
body snickered just behind him, and, turning round, he saw a tiny little elf.
"TH do your remembering for you, Master Jimmie the elf offered. sE#

"The elf told Jimmie that it would have to go around with him everywhere
and that though he might be able to see it, no ne else could.
Jimmie thought this a very fine way to do, for his parents had what he
thought an unpleasant way of insisting that he should do his own work.
" There are several things that you have forgotten now the elf suggested,
and, quick as wink, Jimmie recalled the errands his mother had asked him to
do for her. . a@s.@

Newest Lobby Scandal,

Dallas Morning News: The newest
lobby scandal is as yet in a stage
that is more provocative of headlines
than productive Of detailed informa-
ton. But the information will be
forthcoming, doubtless, in plenty, once
the investigating committee. which is
to resume it's session today, gets to
the Mulhall disclosures. But the dis
closures, meager as they are for ali
saw the two newspapers which share
the privilege just now of exclusive
publication. make two things pretty
certain. One is that the tariff bill
will be written into the statute book
pretty much in the terms the presi-
dent wants, and the other is that the
law which gives congressman free use
Of the mails is in for a thorough
overhauling and a radical reformation.
The president did not. of course, fore
see such disclosures as have already
been made. Doubtless. he himself is
profoundly amazed and. shocked. But
how much or how little he foresaw
what has resulted, he made it certain
when he indicted the tariff lobby, that
a genuine tariff reform bill would be
enacted.

Roosevelt on Wilson.

Colonel Roosevelt tried hard to
make a point for the third party out
of the strike situation in West Vir-
ginia, but did not altogether succeed,
declared The Minneapolis Journal. The
same paper goes on to say:
His charge that the conditions in
West Virginia are consistent with the
new freedom" idea promulgated by
MT Wilson, was a shrewd slap at the
president, but hardly proved his point.
Colonel Roosevelt could not show that
the president in pleading for a. divorce
of government from the duty Of carry
ing the individual, favors conditions of
labor onerous to the workingman. On
the contrary, the president appear to
be demanding that the government di-
vorce itself from the duty of carrying
the big man, while it lets the little
man take care of himself. The differ
nee between the two is that. while
Colonel Roosevelt would have the gov
eminent regulate business even down
to the fixing of wages and rates of
profit, the president believes that, if
the government took it's hands off,
business would have to come to an
agreement with labor that would be
fair to both. w.
But has either reached a true solu-
ton of the problem? With the presi-
dents doctrine of let-alone in force,
a would, no doubt, be a period
when the mine employers could ride
over. their men. With Colonel Roose-
.velt's views of courts in force there
would be a time when employers
would not know whether to invest a
dollar in productive enterprise or not.
1t is evident that in West Virginia
question is whether the evolution
of labor's rights is to be. dependent
on the enforcement of the rights of
men against the rights of property,
the two collide, But the Roose-
welt ideas would begin by making
property such ar uncertain investment
that labor would suffer severely from
lack of employment. There must be
a mean between these extremes, in
which it will be profitable to employ
labor on fair terms and to invest cap
ital on a sure legal protection.

by respectful sympathy. 1T is one
of the anomalies that thegmost popu-
ulous OF organized nations should be
in a military n among the most
helpless, but the reasons for this fact
are not morally discreditable. Four
hundred millions of people under one
government necessarily face distinctive
problems of their own. Perhaps
China is more populous than any one
nation should be. Only by intense
industry can it produce food enough
to ward off famine in some of it's
numerous provinces. 1t must proceed
slowly with new inventions or it's la
Dor system would be disastrously af-
fected.
This country has taken no advan-
tage of China because it is, practi-
cally unable to cope with the arma-
ments of the leading powers. Posi-
bly, this situation might change, in
China as in Japan, and then the armies
and fleets of the world would have
to take notice. 1t is wise not
to spur sleeping giants into violent
action. But the American attitude
toward China is not one of diplo-
matte calculation. 1t is sincerely
friendly and sensibly disinterested.
Peculiar advantages exist for COM
mercial intercourse between China
and this country. There is a direct
ferriage by ocean, the cheapest Of all
transportation. The products are
different and promote a profitable ex-
change. This country has been con-
siderate in regard to the perpleXities
of an ancient state wishing to be in
more intimate contact with modern
life, yet hedged by the restraints Of
tradition and also by industrial re-
strictions The greeting from and to
China will be cordial.

compuIsoru Marriaues.

Tit Bits: Kings of Siam apparently
do not believe in the wisdom of allow
ing single women to drift unattached
about the country. In certain districts
after a girl has reached an age where
her securing for herself a husband is
considered doubtful she becomes a
daughter of the king"-that is, the
king takes upon himself the task Of
settling her suitably in life.
His process is quite simple and to
the point. He proceeds to the Siamese
pe%nitentiary n looks over the various
prisoners. There is a law in Slam that
any prisoner can obtain his release by
marrying one of this class of girls. and.
naturally enough, any prisoner whom
the king picks out is not likely to be
backward about conserving to the GER
emory. Nor does it make any differ
ence if he is married, for the men Of
that country are not restricted to one
wifa .....-. .-'
AS far as can be learned there is no
allowance made for the inclination OF
the girl in question. She has failed In
her mission in life as far as she herself
is concerned, and she must abide by
the decision of the king.

Tie "Woman Vote"

Milwaukee Sentinel: Somebody has
been asking Jane Adams whether
women, when given the ballot, would
vote solidly as women, or would dis
perse themselves into the various po-
litical parties.
That querist either betrayed a poor
opinion of the political capacity of
women, or his own capacity for ask
ing foolish questions, or else was set
ting a trap for Miss Addams.
But the lady's reply was perfectly
tactful and correct, and therefore in
the negative.
1t ought to be evident to the mean
est powers of observation that the
capacity of the sex to differ among
themselves is rather marked than
contrariwise. Take the annual gath
erings of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, to illustrate. Hasn't
some wag called the D.. A. R.. the
Daughters Of the Annual Ruction?'
No; the women will not flock to-
gether like sheep when they get the
vote.
We admit that when a moral issue
is up they will be found pretty solidly
on the same side of it. But it will be
the right side. And that is where
woman suffrage might help some.
