IMMENSE STORES OF COAL 1 Supplies for the Ship* of All Countries Are to Be Kept Constantly at Panama. When tho Panama canal is opened two years hence there will be coal - on hand for the ships of all the world —a tremendous supply—which will be added to as fast as it. Is taken away to the seven seas. There will be two great coal-storage basins —one at Cristobal, for the Atlantic entrance, and one at Balboa, , for the Pacific. At tho former place I 290,0«0 tons will be kept on hand; at tho latter 160,000. In each tho storage will be in huge basins of reint forced concrete, in which about half r tho coal will be stored under water, for use in time of war, and the other half above the sea level, to be ■* taken from and added to continually 1 for the ordinary uses of commercial and government vessels. An Im- .. mense plant of cranes, cars, buckets and other machinery will bo installed to handle the coal as economically as ’ possible. Tho cranes will unload coal from ships; a conveying system will trans- , fer it to bridges spanning the storage basin and dump it at any place desired; and a system of buckets operating upon these bridges will make it possible to lift coal from the storage basin, and by means of conveyors r raise it to loading machines that will drop it into colliers or lighters. The Cristobal plant will be capable of un- ’ loading 1,000 tons and loading 2,000 1 tons of coal each hour, and the Balboa plant 500 and 1,000 tons. Vessels requiring bunker coal will not go alongside the wharves of the ’ plants, but will be coaled in midstream from barges. FIND USE FOR DESERT PLANT Excellent Quality of Wax Is Being Produced From the Wild Candelilla of Texas. t Several factories tor making wax out of the wild candelilla plant have recently been established in western Texas. Experiments in making wax from . this desert plant were started in j Mexico a few years ago. On account r of the difficulty of refining the crude product its value was not immediately recognized. The weed Is found in many parts of I northern Mexico and the first factories . were established there. Not long ago a process was discovered for refining the crude wax and regular shipments are now being made to New York arid to European countries. The candelilla weed grows upon land that was formerly considered worthless. It is harvested by Mexi- , can labor at low cost. The method of extracting the wax is simple and cheap. • Large tracts of land owned by the state of Texas are covered with the - candelilla weed, and concerns which . are operating the different factories are now trying to obtain long leases of these lands, in order to get a large ’ supply of the raw material for making the wax. The refined product is used in the, manufacture of phonograph records and for various other purposes. It is said to be the highest grade of any vegetable wax known. Real Gainsborough. A great dealer, now dead, once told L me that sauntering into an auction room he observed the portrait of a boy in a hat, ascribed to Gainsborough. He had that power of eye which can pierce through superimposed paint, and looking deep down into that, picture he felt certain that the hat was an addition and the boy a girl. He bought tho portrait for a song, to find that his dream had come true. It was a true Gainsborough, and the likeness of a beautiful girl. What had prob- . ably happened brings a drama before us. Some old Squire Western had disinherited an eloping daughter, had \ pulled the Gainsborough down, and sent it to a country dauber for transformation. “Dash his wig and buttons (only the oath was worse,” if he would 1 ever look on the undutiful, ungrateful baggage again. Tho picture had cost ■ good money, and must bo kept, though bad she had proved. It should boa , boy.—Walter Siehel, in J. P.’s Weekly of London. Old Judges. Lord Alverstone recently made a very interesting reference to a curious J fact that judges do their best work in what, for other men, is extreme old age. There arc many instances of the way in which legal lights retain their 1 faculties. Lord Eldon was In the house I of lords at eighty-five, and his reason- , ing faculties were unimpaired till tho ’ very end. Brougham became president of tho Social Science association at I seventy-nine, and delivered Ills Installation address at Edinburgh at eightytwo. Lyndhurst, at more than eighty, was as keen as any boy just down from Balliol, and at eighty-six delivered an "extraordinary speech" in the house of lords. In our own time thoro is Lord HaJsbury.—London TiVßlta. »-l ... Stoppers for Family Jars. A bride, upon opening a package revived on her wedding day, was surprised to find a dozen or more corks of various sizes fastened by ribbon jto a large cork. Attached to this was a card upon which was written: . | "Homo stoppers for the family jars.” Later the sender was Informed that whon the. first disagreement arose tho discussion as to tho size of tho cork best fitted to the “jar” caused so much amusement that tho trouble wax soon forgotten.
