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.

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.

Deadly Weapon of Warfare.
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.
