Coal in West Virginta. ‘ A geologist who has been making a ; study of Wyoming, Raleigh and Logan Counties, in West Virginia, rays that the coal deposits average five feet in thickness over an area of more than 1,000 square miles. He saw outcroppings of coal rising to a height of twenty-five feet and extending for miles along the sides of the mountains, On Thatcher's Creek, in Logan County, he measured a vein of coal twenty-sev-en feet in thickness. All this land is now in the hands of capitalists. “Mile after mile of it,” as he says, “has been owned since the first settlement of the region by families, the male membars of which could hardly muster enough clothes to wad a gun, whose wives went barefoot winter and summer, and whose children never saw either the inside of. a schecolhouse or of a church. Traveling five or six miles along Trap Hill Valley without seeing any signs of civilization, I reached a log house, where I found a family named Ross. The husband was absent hunting, but the wife and several bright-eved children greeted me, furnished dinner and directed me on my way. The wife told me she had never seen a larger town than Logan Courthouse with its two dozen houses, and the children had never seen a school bock.

The King ‘ | expressed his willingness to u‘nund(m' ! all the territories over which the exist- | | ence of these rights could be proved and ! , called attention to the fact that ﬁ\'(:i | months previously he had proposed to ! j submit all the contested territorial | | questions to international arbitration. ! In the interests of peace, however, the | King offered to surrender the territory | i as far north as the eighteenth degree l | of latitude, but no further, and pro- | ! posed that the islands in the Mekong | | River be used in common by Siam and | ;Fyance.

Pavie ' withdrew from Bangkok on a gunboat, . and the French warshipsinthe Menam River went to Koh-Si-Chang, an island | l near the head of the Gulf of Siam, whkere they joined the French fleet

under the command of Admiral Hud | mann. France then determined to ! blockade the Siamese coast. T'hmi was serious doubt as to the time | the blockade was to be made ” efftective. The French government informed the British Government that the blockade would begin July 81, by ‘ the British Minister at Bargkck later informed the British Foieign Ofﬂeﬂ" that it had commenced on July ZG%J Lord Rosebery, the British Foreign Minister, asked the French Governs ment for a prompt explanation of this lcontlict in dates, but the answer has - i AN 78 { J 1"\ - 7““‘\ \ =T e THE MAHA CHAKRL , i (The Stamese Kinz's crulser-yacht) | not yvet been made public.

The question of how to move the wheat crop of Minnesota and the Daketas for ngm is becoming one of great seriousness. Owing to the finanecial stringency, the borrowing power of the | grain men has become very limited. ‘ The country banks will not 'lend, lndl the money to be had is but a mere fraction of what has heretofore been used ] in moving the crops. Various plamii | have been suggested whereby the (('ﬂ'm'tﬁ of the stringency may be obviated as wmuch as possible. Any ip}:m that will result in the mov ing of the crops, even though it be { done very slowly, must be acceptable. | Such a plan has been proposed and is | being adepted in some parts of South- ' ern Minnescta. The plan, according | to a St. Paul dispatceh, is that the grain | men issue their checks for grain pur- % chased of the farmers, payable fifteen | days after date. which wonld allow ' time for the collection of drafts against | consignments, but will only enter such | drafts for collection. Even with this | arrangement the crop must move very | slowly and farmers who are obliged to

sell may find themselves much incou. venienced.

A A o 5 et 5 ee e e . e S— e S | Pushing Business, i There is in Washington a professional | hair-dresser who maics a comfortable living while Congress is in session. It is an easy matter to get the name of the Folitician from Minami, Ind., or Water- { 100, In. A note is sent to his w! 3, askI ing permission to show her a more becoming way of arranging her hair. t Some comprehensive hint is volunteered, with a mild compliment. The I letter is marked “ personal,” a verbal | | answer is requested, and in eight out ! ! of ten attempts the New Ynzi hair- | | dresser gets an answer to call. Oddly I('n.mgih, it is the husband who urges { her elaim ;he wants his wife to look | like other women. At home she was (all right ; but in ccsmopolitan life she g is something of a fright, and, although ' he despises himself for the thought, he | iis ashamed of her. In an hour's time t i the hair-dresser puts a new face on the b woman from the woods.

The old preeess of producing by | { means of sodium has been cheapened | { until it is possible to make aluminium | iat a cost of §1 a pound. But by the | { Hall invention—an electrical process— | | the cost has been reduced to 50 cents a | i pound. But the electrical precess does ! knot produce the metal in mass. The | t current is Xassed threugh a mixture of | | carbon and alumina, with the resulti that the carbon takes the cxygen of the alumina and sets the aluminium ! free in fine particles. A recent inven- ; tion of W. A. Baldwin facilitates the making of alloys. This inventor brings l iron, for example, in a molten state in contact with clay, beauxite or otheri laluminifemus material. - Common salt ! and charcoal are added. Thereupon | chlorine is set free, the sodium and | carbon unite with the oxygen of the | alumina ard the released aluminium is | taken by the molten iron. This proc- 3 ess is a very cheap one and has a fu- | ture. The famous Damascene sword { blades are said to owe their excellence to the aluminium taken up by steelfused in elay furnaces. | Nature's Gas Retorts, | Scientists of a gloomy turn of mind are figuring on the probabilities of the earth finally collapsing as a result of the modern craze for tapping nature’s great gas retorts. They argue that | the earth is a huge balloon held up, in part, at least, by heat and internal i gases, and that when nature’s great | gas main is eventually exhausted the | earth’s erust may break in and fall in- | to millions of fragments! Ugh! The | very thovght of such a calamity is | startling. They argue that the steady belching forth of millions of feet of gas every hour of the day and night is ! causing a great vacuum somewhere not i far beneath the surface, and that soon- . er or later the thin archway of earth- | j ecrust will give way. Then will oceur | the grand climax of all earthly calamii ties. | ’ THE late Lord Derby was nct an en- | | thusiastic royalist.
