This
raises the old scare-
'How
long can it last?. 'When will the coal
loss ape be upon us?"
Back in the C0"s the wise men of
Great Britain broached the question.
Parliament appointed a special com
mission which reported that at the
then existing rate of increase in coal
consumption the world's stock of
.black diamond would be exhausted
in 212 years.
Scientists set about, scheming sub
stitutes for fuel. Many of our read
ers will remember the .various ma
chines for storing the rays of the sun;
the windmill devices for saving heat.
Then came, the discovery of enor
mous coal fields in the United States.
Siberia and China. Besides elec
tricity for motor power was develop
ed and largely allayed the fears of
an early coal famine.
In the last few months the great
coal strikes in the United States and
France, backed up by similar
troubles in England, Belgium, and
Germany, haAe again brought for
ward the seriousness of the coal
problem. People began to realize
what it would mean to live, or try
to live, without coal.
The worst scared people of the
east are the English. Great Britain,
until very recentl3', was the world's
coal producing country. This esti
mate is put upon the coal in the dif

China, has almost as large a supply
and British journals of the last few
months are teeming with these
figures to arouse the people to their
"rights" in the orient.
The enormous statistics of supply
luse their rosy color when the
figures showing the annual coal con-!
sumption are considered.' Last year
America used up about 190 million
tons of coal. The year before it was
only 1S2 million. This year it will
fall short, but in the next twelve
months it is expected that 225 mil-
lion tons will be'ehopped out of out
minps. All over the Avorld there has
been an ever increasing increase oi
coal consumption, so that now about
three times as "much coal is being
used up as 20 years ago. If the in
crease continues at this rate, scien
tific journals say, the coal will all
be gone bef orft the 212. years named
by the British commission.

be found."
During the strike in the anthra
cite regions many . timely devices
Ave re ; tried. For one, porous brick
saturated with petroleum was suc
cessfully used in many ovens a new
fuel which promised to find perma
nent friends in many households. An
other unique substitute for coal is
proposed by a German chemist and
can be tried by any housewife. It ia
really nothing else than soap. Take
petroleum refuse, waste lard and fat,
mix it with 10 per cent, of soda lye
and steam it gently, adding some
water. Incipient saponification takes
place. Add saw dust, coal dust and
resin, as much as you- have on
hand, and when a pasty mass has
formed you have fuel the world's
cheapest fuel, the chemist-sa.ys.
Air is also described as a substi
tute for fuel. In reality air or the
oxygen in the air is the element that
combines with the fuel to make fire,
and various devices are now being
tried to mix air with petroleum
vapors, and with oil so as to extract
the greatest possible amount of heat
from every unit of fuel. The well
known Bunsen burner and the Wels
bach light are illustrations of this
principle, which will probably be ap
plied on a much larger scale in fur
naces as well as kitchen stoves.
There are two other familiar sub
stitutes for coal, which will be util
ized extensively before many years.
Both of these are earth the so-called
oily shale and the peat. The latter is
really nothing but half-formed coal.
Many hundreds of centuries ago, the
decaying vegetable growth just like
peat bogs were pressed down by enor
mous layers of earth forming above
them and turned' into coal. Now the
formation of new layers of earth has
ceased and the peat has remained peat.
In Germany there are many facto
ries in which the water is pressed out
by heat, the remainder is condensed,
heated and pressed until new the prod
uct is greatly like anthracite and is
said to be better than any wood for
fuel. The amount of unused despised
peat left to moulder is prodigious. All
the way from the Atlantic ocean to the
Missouri river and as far south as
North Carolina are peatbogs hundreds
of feet thick. Holland, parts of Ger-

many and Denmark are full of them,
and in the Indian ocean there are
scores of islands of peat.
Yet, the fact remains that these
riches also are limited. Sooner or later
some method of getting along without
fuel must be found by Utilization of
the inexhaustible forces of nature.
Thanks to electricity these forces can
now be stored away and set free at
the dictate of man.
Something has been done toward
utilizing the energy of water and air
in the water mills and windmills, but
this is not one per cent, of what can
be done. At Schaffhausen, Switzer
land, huge mills convert the power of
the falls -of the Rhine into electricity,
and conduct it by cable to the city,
where it runs the street cars, pumps
the water and lights the houses.
Windmills which lift water to a higher
level from which it gains power by its
own fall are used without electricity
in the Netherlands.
But the greatest- machine of all
the one that will put an end to all coal
trusts is yet to be invented. It is a
machine that will catch the rays of j

The Color of Clouds.
A cloud is white because its corpus
cles of vapor are large enough to re
flect all rays, large and small. Uut the
upoer air has infinite numbers of
particles so sjninute that they throw
back only the smaller or bue waves
of light, and not the larger red. yel
low and green waves, and thus blue is
the predominant, but not exclusive,
?olor of the sky. This long-accepted
theory of Tynd all's is now questioned
by M. Spring, the Swiss physicist. He
has experimented with luminous rays
under many conditions, getting all col
ors except blue, which failed to an-
pear unttl, by tne aid ot electricity, oe

HONEY-MAKING IN THE ARMY.
Varied Callings at "Which a Barber

Uncle "Sam's artillerymen around San
Francisco, is not the only "rookie"
who has made money from his army
mates. Out west the other day the
Sun man ran into one ex-soldier who
had just made a very comfortable pile
in his own peculiar way, and had just
obtained his discharge in order to
snend- his monev relates that New
York paper.
This man was a San Francisco bar
ber when the war with Spain began.
He enlisted in a regiment which after
ward went to Cuba and soon got the
place of barber in his company. In
that place he soon earned enough
ready money to make him a capitalist,
compared with his mates.
Schmidt, which isn't far from the
barber's real name, conceived the idea
of running a sort of bank and pawn
broking and loan business. To those
whom he could trust he lent money
freely at ten per cent, interest, to
those Avhom he couldn't trust so well
he lent money on personal property,
and he even went so far as to borrow
money from some of the officers so as
to lend it at interest.
When he had increased his savings,
he bought a new-fangled barber's
chair, with all the best improvements,
and hired an assistant. Then his out-'
door shop got all the trade there was.
Meanwhile lie was collecting a
large quantity of unredeemed articles,
jewelry, watches, clothing, curiosities
of all sorts, and even some pet animals
and birds. Finding little demand for
a great many of these things, he sent
three barrels of his stuff back to the
states and cleared about $500 on the
deal.
He got to be so successful finally
that some of the officers borrowed
money from him. About that time
one of the buglers died and somebody
heard that Schmidt could blow the
bugle.
So he got that job, too, and he did
so well at it that he waiscalled upon
to blow taps at funeral exercises
everywhere. It was said of Schmidt
that he could "blow tears right out of
his bugle" when he felt like it, and
after one officer's funeral a collection
of $30 was taken up for Schmidt.
About that time the regiment was
ordered back to the United States, and
Schmidt took along all the pictures
and Cuban curiosities he could carry,
and sent a lot more by by express. A
dealer bought the whole lot, and
Schmidt put some more money in the
bank.
It wasn't long before Schmidt got a
chance to go to the Philippines. Be
sides his razors and straps he took
along a lot of uinine, medicines, oint
ments and salves supposed to be good
for fevers and skin diseases from
which the soldiers in the tropics usu
ally suffer. He took a lot of truck
cut close to the firing line, and there
soon found a chance to peddle it out
and make more money.
When the Sun man saw Schmidt,
the soldier-barber had just sold a two
dollar Pullman berth for six dollars to
a man who couldn't wait.
"There's no need of any man going
broke in the army," said Schmidt.

IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM?
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.
There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
to at least one-half of the human family
unless means axe taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured arc
eur3 to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated i?
Bure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the bodv It is capable of destroying
sight, taste, Smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
It pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tube?,. lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladdei and other pelvic organs.
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes
timonials sent entirely unsolicited to
Dr. Hprtman by grateful men and wo
men who have been cured by Peruna :
Catarrh of Tfeo Head.
Mr. D. Ii. Ramsey writes in a recent
letter from Pine Bluff, Ark., the fol

" My son, Leon Ramsey, four years cf
age, suffered with catarrh cf the hesd
for eighteen or twenty months. He toeV.

Mr. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis., writes:
" I am entirely cured of my catarrh of
the- nose by your Peruna. My case
a severe one." Herman Ehlke.
Catarrh of The Throat.
B. H. Runyan, Salesvillc, O.,-writes:
"I suffered with catasrh of the throat
for five years. I was induced to try
Peruna. I have used five bottles and am
perfectly well." B. H. Runyan.

DIPHTHERIA INFECTION.
important Facts Concerning th
rrores of the Disease by n
Xoteil English Authority.
.Prof. Sims . Woodhead, an English
pathologist of. high standing, has of
late advanced some comparatively new
points concerning diphtheria. In a
review of 12,172 cases sent to hos
pitals 73.42 per cent., or nearly three
f our Lbs, showed the presence of diph
1 iieria baeill5 when cultures were made
from their throats, and 26.58 per cent.,
or fully one-fourth, failed to show
any at all. He does not conclude that
the bacilli were lacking all through
the prevalence of the disease in the
latter group of cases, but he remarks
that they were probably displaced
from the surface of the mucous mem
brane by other organisms rather
promptly, and hence were not. caught
at that' partieular time when the
throat was swabbed for test purposes.
Another fact of considerable impor
tance which Prof. Woodhead dwells
on, states the New York Tribune, is
that diphtheria bacilli often linger
much longer than' is commonly sup
posed in a person's throat. After th
ninth week the proportion falls off
rapidly, but he cites instances where
ther remained for more than 200 days,
while in 202 cases they,were present
after an interval of 100 days. The
persistence here revealed shows that
patients -may be discharged as cured
and j et be in a condition endangering
society. In such a state of things
Prof. Woodhead finds one explanation
of some otherwise mysterious returns
of diphtheria in a community where
it had apparently been suppressed.
Diphtheria is a winter disease, and.
though its effects have been rendered
less serious by Behring's antitoxin,
it is yet a formidable enemy to health.

A youth was engaged as junior
clerk by a firm of lawyers and by way
of filling in his time and testing his

his employers a check for tbe amount

the young clerk and asked him to pro

had such an astonishing result. The

Whose word can be trusted, says
American Queen. ' ,
Fineness is not a safe guide cither
for durability or lasting beauty.
Weight is the standard of price, aod
it is not advisable to buy table linen
that weighs less than four and a half
ounces per square yard. The . com
parative merits of bleached and un
i bleached napery depend upon the use
j to which it is to be put, and the op
portunity for bleaching at the com
j mand of the housewife,
j For common or rough use it is
i often well to buy the unbleached,
' and also in the country or suburbs,
, where one can bleach it on the grass
or out in the sun, but not all city
housekeepers are able to whiten
their linen. The German linen wesirs
well, but is not so snow white or
varied in pattern as the Irish impor
tation. Never buy a mixture of cotton and
linen, and beware of damask that is
stiff and cracky, for it has probably
been starched to make it appear of
better quality than it realfy is. (iood
linen has an elastic texture. Some of
the finer French damasks appear ex
quisite, but they do not pass the
soap and water test creditably. Con
sidering all points, the IrLdi lineu is
far superior to any other.
Two yards and a half is tbe best
width for general use as it covers
well a table four feet wide, and three
yards is a convenient length for the
ordinary table. It is well to have
two cloths of the same piece in case
of a considerable extension of the
table on some special-occasion, and
one very long cloth may be .'-; rarely
used as to become yellow. Th.- ch ths
that come woven in one piece are es
pecially beautiful in design and tex
ture and cost a mere trifle more
than the web goods--
Avoid very large napkins no one
likes them. Select a medium size and
buy a dozen or a dozen and a half
to go with each cloth. Don't starch
your linen when it is new, but when
it begins to get thin and n:np a lit
tle thin starch is admissible.
