COAL FOR $50 YEARS.

There is comfort, though cold COM
fort 1t may be, in the announcement
that there is plenty of coal-in the
ground. At a recent convention of
coal experts it was reported that the
hard coal in this country will not
give out for $50 years and the soft
coal is virtually inexhaustable.
]. w. Paul, CHER coal mining engi-
neer of the United States Bureau of
Mines, is quoted as saying that there
is enough to supply the American peo-
pie for 5000 years. Few persons have
any interest extending beyond that
time. 1t is period as long as the ira
ditional age of the worlf. If the soft
coal lasts as far into the future as
from the present time back to Adam
there is no need of worrying,
Some coal men may question these
figures. They are not given as ac-
curate, for there is no possibility OF
compounding the future population Of
the country and its fuel needs. But

ter will grant that not even the re-

READING BY CAMERA.

There seems to be no limit to the
of modern conveniencei.
Now it is to be made possible for per-
sons wishing to use public library
reference books to make their notes
and keep their records by the simple
process of take a few snapshots. A
camera with a special type of lencs
has ben invented for use in libraries.
The reference reader need only turn to
the pages he is interesed in then
take the pictures. He will therefore
avoid elaborate tracing of drawings or
edsigns, copying of statistics of que
tations and long hours of reading II
the library.
His finished pictures he can put di-
rectly into his notebook, studying
them at his own pleasure instead OF
within library hours.
To the ordinary reader this method
presents some slight difficulties. The
high cost of developing and printing Is
one of them. Another lies nthe temp
tation to and danger of getting 4 great
deal more material than one really
needs and so cluttering UP ones note
book or desk.
In the small library however Il ere
would be one great danger. 1t would
shorten an individuals use CT certain

mittee. II think that the women
will vote MS intelligently as the
men and probably more 30 us soon
as they learn how the machinery
works"
The meeting was called to order
in the county court room at two
o'clock and is held for the purpose
Of organizing the women OF the
cozlty, naming n county chair
man, secretary and treasurer and
Iuch other officers as the women
think necessary for their organiz-
alton. Similar meetings have been
called for today in all the counties
Of the state, in accordance with a
