A curious and interesting calculation has been made on the dynamic power of coal. From 'this wo learn that a single pound of good steam coal has within It dynamic power equal to the work of ono man for one day. Three tonH of the same coal represent a man's labor for a period of twenty years, and one square mllo of a seam of coal, hav ing a depth of four feet only, repre sents as much work as 1,000,000 men can perform in twenty years. Such calculations as tho above ir.r,y servo to remind us how valuable a commod ity coal really is. rtrltitlii'H Roiiiiiii MoimIh.
