AUSTRALIAN COAL.
Production Hit * Trebled Within the Lost
Twenty Yearn.
The coal of Now South Wales waa
discovered 10 years ago by a ship
wrecked sailor , hut It has only been
worked on a commercial basis within
the last fifty years or so , says the Nineteenth - *
teenth Century. The carboniferous
strata of Australia are said to extend
over 10,000,000 acres. The coal meas
ures of New South Wajes cover about
24,000 square miles , with Sydney in
the center , although Newcastle is the
most accessible port for the coal field ?
now being worked. In quality the coal
of New South Wales Is'reputedly not
much inferior to that of old South
Wales for steam raising purposes , and
not at all inferior to that of Northum
berland. La.st year a very large increase - ,
crease took place in the output , which
was raised to 4,417,600 tons from 3,910-
000 tons in 1896. About three-fourths
of the whole output was exported to
the Pacific states of America , to China ,
the eastern archipelago , the Straits
Settlements , the Pacific Islands and
further India. The production has
more than trebled within the last 20
years , and as yet is only a fraction of
what it Is destined to become. Before
Macaulay's New Zealander makes its
appearance on London bridge the New
castle at the antipodes will have be
come as large and prosperous and im
portant a city as Newcastle on "Coaly
Tyne. " New South. Wales does not
monopolize the coal of Australia. That
of Queensland is of enormous value ,
spread over an area of some 14,000
square miles , though as yet the output
does not exceed 500 000 tons per an
num. For * certain markets the ports
of Queensland are favorably situated ,
and the coal of Queensland is destined
to play an important part in the com
mercial future of the Pacific and the
east. Victoria produces a little , but
not as yet sufficient for her own re
quirements and she has to draw from
the mother colony. New Zealand has
very extensive supplies , hardly as yet
tapped , of very excellent coal. Indeed ,
the colonists are never tired of remind
ing us that it was with Nev , Zealand
coal that the Calliope waged her suc
cessful battle with the cyclone at Sa
moa ; and New Zealand coal is regular
ly used by steamers in the intercolon
ial and Pacific trades. In western Aus
tralia , there are large deposits which ,
when the problem of transport is solv
ed , would find ready markets in the
eastern archipelago.
WHEN BURIED ALIVE.
A Macli'no to SIgu.il That K.icr am !
Give Yon Air.
Count Michael von Karnice Karnicki ,
the czar's chamberlain , has Invented
and perfected an exceedingly clever ap-
parains for the prevention of that bug
bear of the nervous a living burial.
The apparatus was offered as a gift to
the French government , which still has
its acceptance under consideration. A
tube protrudes four feet to four and a
half feet above the surface of the
grave , and upon the top of it is fixed
a small metal box with a spring lid ,
says the London Mail. To the lower
end of the tube , which just enters the
upper lid of the co in is fixed an India
rubber ball , charged pretty full with
air , so that the slightest pressure up
ward on it would cause a discharge
of air upward through the tube and
thereby release the lid of the box ,
which springs open upon the slightest
pressure. The opening of the lid auto
matically raises a small flag and sets
an electric bell in motion , which rings
immediately over the grave and in the
sexton's house , where it also releases
a flap which indicates the grave over
which the box has opened. As will
be seen , the slightest sign of breathIng -
Ing on the part of the buried person ,
or the slightest motion of the heart
will suffice to open the box and sound
the alarm , and the open box , by a
clever and intricate little mechanism ,
pumps a sufficient quantity of air down
into the coffin to preserve the buried
person from suffocation while assist
ance is arriving. Count Karnichi. it
may be added , is firmly convinced that
thousands of persons are buried alive
every year In a state of lethargy.
Checking System Applied to Babies.
In some of the New York depart
ment stores babies can be checked like
so many umbrellas , while their moth
ers pursue the elusive bargain from
counter to counter. A small boy is de
tailed to stand guard over a certain
number of infants. The small boys
and the infants have not been asked
for an opinion , but the mothers are
enthusiastic in their approval. In
Brooklyn the checking system as ap
plied to babies has appeared in a new
form. Brooklyn being recognized as
the city of churches , the new develop
ment is naturally along the ecclesias
tical line. The Rev. Dr. Wiley of the
Nostrand Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church is the originator of the scheme ,
and the mothers are once more the
gainers. A large room has been fitted
up with hammocks and cribs , peram
bulators and toys. Here a volunteer
committee of young women assembles
every Sunday morning , and here the
mothers , who would otherwise be kept
at home , leave their babies , while they
themselves attend the regular church
service. The plan is a novel one , but
promises , and deserves , to be popular.
Harper's Bazar.
People on tbe Atlantic.
An ingenius German , Herr Boysen ,
has found that for a year under inves
tigation there was a daily average of
3,651 sailing vessels at sea , with 44,899
men in their crews. Every day , also
1,504 steamships , with crews number
ing 53,263 men and 32,565 passengers ,
were afloat on the Atlantic. This made
a daily average for the year of 5,155
vessels and 10 727 persons spread over
the who' " Atlantic surface.

The winning team was entertained by
the Ladies' Circle at luncheon. The
table WHS trimmed uitli crimson and
i the team's colors were much in evidence.
The brilliance of the victory is hei ht-
_ ened by the fact th.it public opinion had
[ conceded the game to the jellow and
black , owing to supeiior weight and
strength.
A game abounding with good feeling
was marred by the sluing < ! foul
work of two of the railroad boys , but the
action was deeply deplored by the rest
of the team.
The yellow and black began to disap
pear after the first touchdown , and B. &
M. colors were at a premium when the
gnine closed. Man > of the rooters dis
carded the yellow and went into mourn
ing on the spot.
The "Awl-Os" made up a tally-ho
party and attended in a body , the con
veyance being trimmed with the ladies'
colors. They deserted the "coach and
four" and walked back to town with the
"battle-scarred heroes. "
That revolving mass on tackle , which
proved such a yround-gainer for the
Athletics , was sent l > ack from Chicago
by ex Captain Fowler. It is a new play
and has been used to great advantage by
tbe University of Chicago team , this
season.

They \\ill also seive a dinner of chicken
pie , baked beans , salad , bread and but
ter , pickles and coffee all for 15 cents

Everybody Was Delighted.
The entertainment given by S. S.
Hamill and daughter in the Methodist
church , Tuesday evening , met with gen
eral approval indeed , we have heard
of none who \\ere not thoroughly de
lighted. The management is to be con
gratulated upon securing so meritorious
an attraction , for the professor and his
talented daughter are artists in their line ,
highly entertaining and pleasing a large
audience. The schools realized quite a
neat sum from tbe affair.
Increased Telephone Service.
The telephone gang arrived in the
city , jesterday , and is engaged in put
ting up the last order for phones , num
bering about fifty. This will largely in
crease the service here and will make
exchange much more valuable to the
patrons , raising the number of patrons
in tbe local exchange to about 145.

To Prevent Engines from "Kaclnp. "
To prevent the engines of a vessel
Irom "racing" when the screw rises
above the water , Sis. E. Putalo has in
vented an electrical regulator. The
contrivance , according to Industries
and Iron , consists of two vessels of
! mercury , connected fore and aft in the
i ship. The vessels are about half full
at normal depth. When the ship
pushes forward ro as to raise the screw
the rods connected with the resistance
are submerged one after another , so
that an electro-magnet is brought Into
play , the whole resistance being short-
circuited when the screw is quite out
of the water. The electro-magnet op
erates a throttle valve in the main
steam pipe , which is thrown open by
another magnet. By this arrangement
the steam is turned off and on. From
experiments it has been shown that
the mercury vessels need not be more
than thirty-four inches apart on a
' ship 300 feet long.
