The production of coal in the
United States last year was the great

ceeding the output of the first six

Even better news is that the limit has

and give to the mines greater facili-
ties for transporting their product to

 "Certainly not!' MT. Shaw exclaim- ed promptly. "Why, make more than a thousand a year myself"

No Black on Natures Palette.

Nature uses no black In any part of her work. Iwlll not except the black berry and the so callcl black nansy. On bright, clear day shadows on the snow are pale ultramarlne blue; under q blue sky in midsummer the color of the placid lake is cobalt blue and tho shadows on the grass are lilac; on a weathered gray board walk they arc nearly as blue as the sky itself. The nalpitating atmosphere of a warm July day lifts the coloring Of the landscape to a higher but softer key instead of reducing it with gray. and in the nu- tumn. when the sugar naples leaves are turned to gold, the shadows on the trunk and every gray rock In the vicinity are tinged with strong lilac. In fine, when the sun shines every thing, even the shadow, which we are prone to believe Is gray. is replete with color.-F Schuyler Mathews.
