The First War.

The first writing known to scholars
was the account of war waged be-
tween hostile nations in Mesopotamia,
perhaps $500 B. c. The first battle
WAS that between Cain and Abel. APP
parently men have always been quick
to settle their differences by fighting.
The first warlike king is said to have
been Osymandyas of Egypt, who
passed into Asia and conquered Bac-
tria in POO B. G. Palamedes BAG
Cos is mythically reported to have
been the first who ranged an army
in a regular line of battle, placed SEN
tinels round a camp and excited the
soldiers vigilance by giving him a
password. This occurred during the
siege of Troy, the date of which is
variously estimated at about two
thousand five hundred years before
the Christian era.

PorEoise in Long Race.

Four porpoises, the largest ever
housed at the New York aquarium,
one measuring nine feet, were put in
the center tank recently. They no
sooner hit the water than they started
Cn what looked like a race. J. Shay
Of the aquarium force, who brought
them here, said they probably had a
bunch that after about 9,999,999 laps
they would catch up to an opening out
to sea. They circulate from left to
right, with the sun.
The porpoises were caught in a net
at the fishery Of Joseph K. Nye at
Hatteras. They came on the Old Do
miniCn liner Princess Anne.
Their racing diet will be 20 pounds
of fresh herring apiece.
The last porpoise in the aquarium
lived q months and 8 days and ate
six and half tons of herring.

TIMBERING MINES is COSTLY
Owners Compelled to Put Millions of
Dollars Underground Every Year
of Operation.

Nearly 100000 cubic feet of tim
Der are placed in the anthracite mines
of Pennsylvania every year, if an esti-
mate in the Colliery Engineer, lately
acquired by Coal Age, that the amount
of timber in anthracite mines is ap-
prOximately one cubic foot for every
ton of coal mined, is correct. The tim
bered gangways and drifts cover a
vast extent, exceeding 1000 miles, and
the closely timbered shafts with their
miles of heavy guide timbers which
must be constantly replaced, form a
large item. The total output since the
beginning of anthracite mining is over
2,500,000,000 tons.
A billion tons of water, or over IL
times as many tons as the coal pro-
duced during the year, must be pumped
out of the anthracite mines every year.
According to the chief of the Pennsyl-
vania department of mines the timber
ing is an even greater expense than
the pumping. The cost of placing this
vast forest below ground is stagger-
ing.
The cost of the material is given as
about 6.5 cents per cubic foot for
round timber and 20 cents per cubic
foot for sawed timber. At the lower
figure this would make 90,OO0,0O0 cubic
feet cost $5,S50,000. In addition to this,
there are millions of mine ties, and
heavy white oak is used for the mine
cars. The use of steel timbers, which
are being adopted on account of their
longevity, for main gangways, turn
outs, pump rooms and shaft and slope
bottoms, will add to the total cost of
mining for the next few years, but will
effect a final saving. Most of the tim
Der now used in the anthracite mines
is yellow pine from the South.
