LIQUID ORIGIN OF COAL.
Interesting Facts Set Forth as to Formation
of Bituminous Variety.
All kinds of plants seem to have ,
entered into the making of coal, and <
. the transformation probably included ^
more or less complete decomposition, j
n? crime* mcjtpria 1 and
tllO vi ovuiv A4Awv\/- aw- j
further chemical change. Dr. Hickling,
at a recent meeting of the Brit- s
ish Society of Dyers and Colorists, t
stated microscopic study shows that j
the transparent homogenous material (
chiefly making up bituminous coal t
must have been originally liquid. .
The evidence indicates that in the T
> coal's formation by far the greater (
part of the carboniferous vegetation t
m. was reduced?probably by bacteria? ^
to this liquid condition, and then the j
. liquid was soaked up by the unde- t
composed cellulose and other resi- g
dues of the vegetation. 2
May Furnish Rifles. J

Finley has introduced the following
bill: "That the secretary of

THE TRAGEDIES OF WAR. r
(Continued from page 2, column 3.) 3
SThe great muzzle poked its nose ^
through the foliage, seeking out this t
point and that along the German
front, stretching off the other side .
of the ravine.
< s
Visits were now made to the firstr
aid surgeons in the trenches, posted
at handy intervals along the line. (
There is no effort here to have all f
the equipment of a hospital; only
the bare necessities for urgent action
are at hand, when some wound needs ^
heroic treatment at once to stanch
a
the flow of blood from a severed arr
tery until the wounded man can be
carried back to the field hospital for .
i
fuller treatment.
J
, Saved the Day. ^
Col. Desfontaines joined the party
at one point, to explain the details c
of the rows of barracks rising tier c
after tier, six stories high, along the c
' side of a steep hill. As he left, one p
of the officers said: t
"That man had a remarkable ex- f
lg? - V perience which saved the day at a h
bloody stage of the fighting some e
'time ago. The struggle had been
desperate late into the day, until c
both sides were' utterly exhausted, p
H The men fairly dropped in their \
.tracks, and neither side had the phy- s
sical energy left to strike the final r
blow that would be decisive. Col. \
Desfontaines realized the situation,
and going to the head of his exhaust- i
ed men he coolly threw aside his re- d
Tolyer, took out his pipe, lit it, and t
then pipe in mouthy called to his men -v
to make a last charge! The audacity a
of the act at a moment of such ex- c
haustion, heartened the wornout
[ men; they struggled to their feet and c
^ made the rush which the crisis need- p
V ?d. It saved the day; the Germans
were swept from the field; and Col. t
Desfontaines is wearing the 'Croix t
g|. de Guerre.'" 1
Gen. Humbert's Headquarters. t
Returning the party passed the
headquarters of Gen. Humbert; and 8
M. Painleve paused to call on the e
commander of the third army corps. $
Gen. Humbert is installed in a vast 8
. . ^ park, for his reserves are further
back from the fighting front. The s
general has the student-like face of f
f
a Moltke, with spare thin build. The
talk turned on the splendid condi- 1
tion of the men, as M. Painleve had *
~ - y
just observed them.
"Yes," said Gen. Humbert, "and
let me give you an instance showing c
the morale of the men. There was
,
an exposed position where it was r
necessary to send a man. Volun- t
teers were called for, as the place i
% was swept by enemy fire and it meant e
sure death. A man stepped forward
immediateely. He pushed forward c
to the exposed point and was shot
dead.- Then his companion stepped t
forward, and he, too, was shot dead, s
And then a third took his turn and 2
0 fell; and a fourth; and then a fifth, s
Yes, five men, one after another, 1
> seeking just what had happened and \
< knowing it meant certain death, each
took their turn with absolute calm- ^
ness. That is only a passing instance, (
but it shows the everlasting purpose t
of our men." r
Gen. Humbert'6 tribute only con- s
firmed the impression made on every
member of the party by this trip of ^
inspection, covering several days, 5
r over hundreds of miles, to three *
army corps with the corps commanders
leading the way to the very
front looking out on immortal Verdun,
back to the preparatory works j
and reserves. Everywhere the
French army was ready, abundant in
/ men, ammunition and supplies, and |
with enormous resources still uncalled
upon.?Associated Press.

A FRENCH BOY AT WAR.
The Bright Picture He Paints of Life
at the Front.
I wish you could come and see us,
writes Rene Saurin, in the May
Southern Woman's. You would see
what a jolly crowd we are. Nothing
ike war to stop all the cares and
;roubles of life. We would be ungrateful
not to be contended, we are
so well cared for. I am sure we are
)etter fed and sleep better than M.
^oincare, or even your own president.
)f course, sometimes we have hard
;imes, with water up to our knees,
)loughing through the mud, a biting
vind searching every available part
)f our bodies. But we soon forget
his, and after the war even our privations
will be pleasant memories.
?or the time we get as much pleasire
out of the present as possible,
md you would probably consider us
i crowd of thoughtless children instead
of men whose sole aim is to
till as many of the Bosches as possi>le.
We are especially happy when
ve get our baskets from home, with
ielicious things to eat and drink
md smoke and with money to spend.
?Ve are then but a big family, for all
hat we get is^ shared with our neigh>or
and the poor fellowT who has no
amily to think of him is not given a
:hance to worry over it.
CX)ST OF ELECTING PRESIDENT.
;Continued from page 6, column 3.)
he organization of an army over
light, but it was done at the cost of
>200,000 and the State was saved.
Candidates for lesser offices have
o bear the brunt of the expense of
heir campaigns; those for president
arely make heavy contributions. It
s not considered good taste, and, beiides,
the candidates usually are
elatively poor men.
But James G. Blaine gave $125,>00
for the privilege of being deeated
in 1884. He gave an original
ontributiom of $-25,000, and when
he committee wound up with $100,>00
of debts he wrote a check for the
imount. He was told it would be
eturned, but it was not.
Campaigns often wind up heavily
n debt. That of the Republicans in
.888 collapsed with a debt of more
han a million.
Most business concerns are very inlifferent
about crediting a "campaign
ommittee" unless its bills are eninrspd
hv some individual able to
ay them. Poor credit and other
hings compel committees to pay?
rom .10 to 25 per cent, more for
Learly everything of a commercial
Lature, like printing, that is bought.
With all the modern office efficieny
that has been introduced into campaign
management politics still is
rery inefficient and wasteful. It is
afe to say that 50 per cent, of the
noney turned loose gets no results
whatever.
This is because everything is done
n a hurry. Election day is certain,
levelopments are rapid and uncerain.
The manager cannot afford to
vait until he can find out definitely
ibout a situation, but often must act
>n incomplete information.
Grafters, under the various forms
>f political grafting, get perhaps 25
per cent, of all political funds.
In some sections of the country
he donations candidates are forced
o make to struggling churches,
odges, public bands, etc., mount in0
the thousands.
Tammany spends from one-half to
1 million dollars on an important
dection in New York city. It takes
>100,000 or more to provide workers
kt the polls on election day.
A torchlight procession, ^nce decribed
by Roosevelt as a "peculiar
orm of idiocy particularly dear to
he mind of the average American
roter," in New York costs from $25,)00
to $50,000. Happily, they are
)ecoming unfashionable.
A Madison Square Garden meeting
:osts as much.
One sealed letter sent to every
egistered voter in America would
ake $300,000 in postage. Other ex>enses
would make the total cost
ibout $1,000,000.
It costs $5,000 to give even limited
listribution to a speech.
Some campaign orators come high,
hough many take only expenses, and
some don't do that. It is said that
is much as $10,000 has been paid a
angle speaker. The average spell)inder
gets $10 a night, or about
?50, when so employed, by the week.
Campaigners are using straight advertising
in the newspapers and perineals
more and more for putting
;heir claims before the public. It is
lot unlikely that $10,000,000 will be
spent that way this year.
There are said to be more than
100,000 professional politicians outside
of office-holders?that is, men
vho live but sometimes don't thrive
?on campaigns of some kind.
Lord Bryce estimated that there
ire only 3,500 professional poli:icians
in all England, and these include
members of parliament, writers
ind others who are but indirectly associated
with practical politics.
