Startling Waste of Coal.
Washington. Of a production of
500,000,000 tons of coal in the United
-States in the last year 250,000,000 tons;
were either wasted or left under
ground, probably unfit for future use,
acpording to a statement by Dr. Jos
eph A. Holmes, director of - the United
States Bureau of Mines. In addition
to this startling waste, Dr. Holmes de
clared that users of coal, : through
faulty methods, derived only about 10
per cent of its energy from the coal
"used. Furthermore, he added, the
Joss by waste in other minerals, such
a.s zinc, nitrogan, potash, sulphur and
natural gas, would reach into the hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually,.:

founder of the Salvation Army, Gen.
.William Booth, were held in Olympla,
-in accordance with the , traditions of
that ,' organization, without pomp or
symbols of mourning, but -with a most
moving fervor."and impressiveness.-

nets with i red - ribbon so familiar on
the streets of cities in many coun

The body of the late General in a
plain -"pine coffin rested high on a
white .catafalque in front of the big
platform across the end ; of .the vhall,
where all the chief officers of the or
ganization1; were z? seated, and where
forty bands were massed. The crim
son flag of-the army "of fire and
blood," . which- the.. General unfurled
on- Mount Calvary,, was planted "above
the coffin. x A bank of flowers com
posed of the tributes sent by. mem
bers of royalty and - many societies
was behind it. . Flags of various na
tions in which the Commander-in-Chief
had waged campaigns and the
standards of the older divisions of the
army were arrayed in front of the
platform. ; '--.X - ' - '
These and more Salvation Army
flags in the, galleries, each tipped with
white : ribbons, . afid twenty portraits
of the evangelist, surmounted I with
