According to a prophecy uttered by Prof. William E. Scott of Princeton, when the world's coal supply is exhausted. fair complexions will disappear and we may even become a black-sdiinned race, says the wily professor. He explained that fair-skinned 1 maidens are hothouse products, uof hot climate products. They cannot withstand the equa'-orh— suns of the tropics, io which we must al! flock as soon as the last shovelful of coal is thrown into the fire; so runs the prophecy. Firefly Illumination. The firefly is a well-known beetle of the elateridae family, which is able to throw out a strong and apparently phosphorescent light in the dark.

Royal Speech in Second Place. It is popriarly supposed that anew session of Hie British parliament begins with the king’s speech.' but la tealtty this is not so. Precedifig ths speech from the throne a “dummy” bid Is always presented for first reading—a little fiction carefully preserved la order to as-ert the independence of parliament, u the belief that to turn at once to P e speech might suggest a too-eager pi ‘occupation with his majesty’s word‘u .— o Coal Lost in Waste. Under ordinary conditions of. mining ami firing, out of every 2.000 pounds of steam coal in place in the mine, only about 75 pounds are converted into mechanical energy —a most surprising fact.
