YEARS DIGGING OF COAL
Greater Than Total Excavation for
Panama Canal.

It has been estimated that the
amount of coal which will be dug out
Of the ground in the United States
during the present year will be great
er by far than the total excavation for
the Panama Canal.
Experts for the United States geo
logical survey have estimated that
originally there was enough coal In
this country to make solid block lO
miles long, 10 miles wide and 10 miles
high. A block Of this size would
weigh more than 100000, 100000 tons,
and up to the present time the coal
that has been removed amounts only
to something like 15,O0O,0OO,O0O tons.
The coal mined during 1914 will
amount to about 600,000,000 tons, con-
tanning about 30O,0O0,O00 cubic yards,
The total excavation for the Panama
Canal from start to finish is computed
at some 262,000,000 cubic yards.
The comparison indicates in strik-
ing way the extent Of the coal mining
industry in the United States. The
output of coal is enormous, but it is
increasing year by year. The amount
of coal SO far taken out is only frac-
tion Of what remains, according to the
estimates of the biologists. The peo-
pie of this country, however, are US
ing more coal every year, and with
the exhaustion of some Of the Euro
pean coal fields already in sight, the
foreign demand for American coal
will increase enormously.
TIE history of coal mining in the
United States covers only period of
about century. There was some
mining of anthracite in Pennsylvania
as far back as 1890, but the records of
the anthracite coal trade usually be-
gin with the year 1920. The first ac'
tual mining is believed to have been
in Virginia, though the records of pro
duction in that state date from 1922
The presence of coal in Ohio was dis
covered as far back as 1855, but the
record of output begins with 1887. The
history of coal mining in Kentucky
begins in 1927, but in 1910 the produc
tion had reached only 23,527 tons.
| Kentucky's coal industry suffered
greatly during the Civil War. In 1856
the production had reached 2S5,76(
tons, but in 1854 1t was under 200(
tons, and In 1870 it was only 150,5Ss
tons. Since that time progress has
been continuous until last year max
imum output of about 20,000,000 tons
was reached.-Louisville Courier-Jour

The First Transatlantic Liner.

The first transatlantic liner to be
operated by steam power was launch
ed at New York ninety-six years ago,
and was formally christened the Sa-
vannah. The vessel bore little resem-
blance to the ocean leviathans of the
present, for she was a tiny wooden
craft Of $50 tons. The "crazy crank"
who thought it possible for ship to
cross the Atlantic by steam power
was William Scarborough, of Savan-
nah, and the boat, although built in
New York, was named after the own
ers home city. BY the April follow
ing her launching the Savannah was
ready for the sea, and on April 10,
1919, she left New York for Savannah,
which was to be her American ter
minus. On May Gath the little liner
steamed away from Savannah on her
maiden voyage, and on June goth she
reached Liverpool, where she was CIV
en- a rousing welcome as the first
steam vessel to cross the ocean. From
Liverpool the Savannah proceeded to
st. Petersburg, Russia, and in Decem-
ber, 1919, the Savannah was again
anchored in the harbor of the Geor-
gian city, fifty days out from the Rus
sian capital. Thus Scarborough
crazy crank"-achieved for Georgia
the honor of revolutionizing the COM
merce of the world. Savannah will
celebrate the centenary of the sailing
Of the Savannah five years hence.

Rheumatic Throat
Is Common Trouble
Should Be Treated in Blood
To Prevent Recurrence.

There are successful gargles that stop
soreness in the throat but to prevent their
incessant return, the blood must be put In
order. The best remedy Is s. s. s., as 1t
influences all the functions OF the body to
neutralize the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their excretion through
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat Is q dangerous
Indication, as 1t means that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the kid
neys can excrete, and may thus lead to
serious general disturbance.
The action Of s. S. 8. stimulates cellular
activity. 1t prevents the accumulation OF
lrritants in local spots. 1t enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace worn-out tissue.
For this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to Its breaking down
influence, Is scattered and eliminated. In
other words, s. $. s. prevents chronic con-
dlticns by enabling all the mucous Innings
Of the body to seerete healthy mucus. Its
influence Is shown in q marked improve

How They Bathe in Vienna.

Previous to the outbreak Of the war
Vienna was building municipal bath
which will be the largest in the world,
being 800 feet long by 1877 feet wide.
Yet it is only quite recently that
Vienna has abandoned what was the
most primitive and curious bathing
custom. Instead of going to your
bath, the bath was brought to you by
agreement with one Of the purveyors
of private baths.
Their huge wagons with tanks OF
hot and cold water and heavy wooden
tubs used to be familiar sight in the
streets of the Austrian capital down
to little more than a decade ago.
They went the round Of their Gus
toners, delivering baths and hot wa
ter at private residences and calling
for them again after the ablutions had
been performed

The English Sepoy troops have Few

ures may give joy to advocates of
vegetarian and teetotal principles, for
the Sepoy seldom touches meat and
his drinks are water and milk. Even
