A CENTURY OF ANTHRACITE First Ton of Hard Coal Reached tho City of Philadelphia Just On# Hundred Years Ago. An even hundred years have elapsed since one William Wurts, a Philadel phia merchant, drove bis team of mules with the first ton of anthracite through the spring freshets and bog land to the banks of the Delaware river anti floated the. new fuel down the river to Philadelphia on a pine log raft. But be experienced no little diffi- culty in that first anthracite year of 1820 In overcoming the popular objec tion that the coal was “extremely slow of lighting.*' Pine log rafts floated only 365 ton$ of anthracite that year. Bat it fetched a price of $12 a ton and could be delivered freight-on-raft Philadelphia at $3—a fact that was freely advertised Vo attract additional capita*, for, of course, there was no profiteering in those days. Spring freshets and bog land and slew inflammability no longer worry operators. Silk shirts for miners are a bigger nuisance. But production in a hundred years has jumped to 86,- 200.000 tons, and could this year sur pass the 100 million-ton mark, which was almost reached in 1917, Reading. Wilkesbarre, Lehigh, Maudi Chunk—these names are spoken one thousand times hourly in the industrial world today, simply be cause there lay up in the hills of Penn sylvania a hard, black substance, one ion of which sly old William Wurts steered on u raft down the Delaware to Philadelphia, just one hundred years ago.—Wall Street Journal.

I rl The / Ivers & fymd Kranich & Bach Stein^ay / KurtzUkiann r Shonimger r PirAios / COME TO US FOR ASTRONOMY STILL AT FAULT Men of Science Forced to Admit Exact Reeulta From Their CalcJlationa Are Not Poesible. The celebrated observatory at Green wich, the place from which we reckon longitude, was founded by Charles II in 1675, mainly for the purpose of in vestigating the movements of the moon in (he interests of navigation. Although in the intervening two and a half cen turies astronomers have worked at the problem, the moon has not yet become entirely amenable to their mathemat ics. In a recent report of the obser vatory at Greenwich attention is In vited to the increasing deviation be tween the calculated position of the moon In the sky and its real position shown by the Greenwich observations. The deviation his’lately been growing In a serious manner. The error last year was more than twelve times as large as the error twenty years ago, and the Average annual increase dur ing the two (Jetrades has amounted to half a second of arc jn longitude. The reason that astronomers have failed in getting exact results from calcnla tlons based on the dynamical laws of gravitation is possibly the existence of some attractive force that they have not yet discovered, although the result may also be affected by the true shape of the earth, which still awaits ac curate determination.

An invention by a French wireless engineer, M, Dunoyer, will completely change the character of naval war fare, if its "'claims are fulfilled, says the London Mail. It consists of what he calls an “electric safety lock." The mechanism to direct the course of a torpedo and secure its explosion against an enemy warship can be worked not only by wireless waves of the right length, hut also by a proper sequence of Morse signals. Any error In the right sequence of dots and dashes would run the mechanism down to xero again and render the torpedo harmless. Each torpedo launched would have its own key se quence of dots and dashes, and so the enemy would be unable to tamper with it. Books From Washington's Library. The sale of the library of the late Samuel Biker of this city was con cluded at the Auderson Galleries re cently. Dr. A. S. Rosenbach paid $4,000 for George Washington's copy of “A Collection of All the Treaties of Peace, Alliance, and Commerce Be tween Great Britain and Other Pow ers From the Treaty Signed at Mun ster, tn 1684, to Treaties Signed at' Paris, In 178.'t,” three volumes, Lon don, 178.*i. . The work contains Wash ington’s autograph on each title page and his book plate on the inside of each front cover. The work was auc tioned off at the sale of the library of Lawrence Washington, the great grandson of George Washington, In Philadelphia, in 1876.—New York Times. Concerning Asrial Flight*. Air Commodore Edward Maitland of R-34 fame,- speaking at the Royal So ciety of 4rts, said that while flying the Atlantic he retired about 9 a. m., and he wgs ashamed to say he slept until nine the next day. He found that the air not only Induced sleep, but sharpened the appetite. Ladies had often asked him, the commodore said, ‘Tn what should we dress when about to take an aerial flight?" He felt tempted to suggest crinolines, which would become very useful as parachutes should the necessity arise. •—London Chronicle.
