States. The production of coal Is the
great mining imdustry of the country,
far exceeding in value the gold, silver
and iron industries. More than forty
million tons were taken out last year.
There were also twenty-eight million
tons of anthracite coal mined. Eng
land produces more than twice as
much coal yearly as the United States,
and takes it all from an area about the
size of Ohio. The coal deposits of
this country have been barely touched.
They are found in almost every prt
of the land. The mines at Seattle, in
the extreme 'Korthwest, produced one
hundred and fifty thousand tons last
year, and numerous deposits have
lately been discovered on Puget's
Sound and along the line of the North

seem likely that any part of the coun

A recent census bulletin estimates
that the number of persons using wood
tor domestic fuel in the United States I
in 1880 were more than 32,500,000, or
ibout sixty-four per cent, of the entire
for domestic purposes is estimated at
more than 140,000,000 cords, and it is
valued at nearly 307,000,000. The
use of wood for fuel outside of domestic
purposes is quite small,, amounting to
only about 5,000,000 cords. The con
sumption of charcoal is set at 74,000,
000 bushels. It appears that the dis
trict within which coal is predominate,
ly used is less than one-tenth of the
settled area of the country. "Wood is
used almost exclusively in the South

The Best Wagon on Wheels
Of the recent demonstration on Mr.
ParnelTs Allendale estate London
Tnith says: "Large numbers of
farmers for miles around, from all the
four neighboring counties, attended
with their plows one hundred and
eighty in all and plowed a large tract
of land, as a practical way of show
ing their respect for the wner. The
horses were decorated with green rib
bons, the plows had been newly
painted for the occasion, and all het
people wore national Colors. There
were three bands present, which
played a succession of national airs.
There were also present four members
of the Royal Irish constabulary; but,
for a wonder, the meeting was not in
hered with."
The menhaden fisheries in the United
States employ $2,460,000 of capital, in
vested in shipping and the manufac
ture of oil, soap and other products,
286 sailing' vessels, 72 steamers and
2,805 men. These statistics were shown
at a recent meeting in New York of
the United States Menhaden Oil and
Guano association. Other fact3 re
vealed on this ocoasion were that last
year there were 454,192,000 fish caught
ana 1,266.569 gallons of oil and
25,025 tons of crude soap made. Dur
ing the meeting there was much dis
cussion on the matter of regulating, by
legislative enactment, the catching oi
menhaden so as to prevent the ex
tinction of the fish, the opinion being !
unanimous that the supply will soon
be exhausted unless the indiscriminate
dredging of the sea be soon stopped
Opinions, however, did not agree as tc
the time when the spawning season
sets in, during which, all agreed, fish
ing should cease.
It appears from statistics which
have recently been compiled that th
United States possesses in round nunv
bers 38,000,000 cattle, India 30,000,
000 and Russia 29,000,000. Russia has
20,000,000 horses, the United States
10,500,000 and Austria 8,500,000. Aus.
tralia possesses 80,000,000 sheep, thf
Argentine Republic 68,000,000 and
Russia 63,000,000. The United States
comes fourth in this list with 86,000,

The goat is an important animal in
many countries. India is credited j
with no less than 20,000,000, Africa j
with 15,000,000 and Mexico with j
6,000,000. Prom the above figures it
will be seen that the United States
comes first in the list of nations with

is second in horses and fourth in

Mr. Edward M. Bentley, one of the
examiners in the electricity division
of t'ie patent office, recently made
an address at an informal gathering in
Washington, touching the work of
the electricity division and the present
state ol the science. In the course of
his remarks he said that about two
thousand applications for patents in
electricity were filed in 1882, of which
about two-thirds were granted. To
show how the subject had grown in
importance within a very few years,
he said that in 1877 electricity was a
sub-class in a division. Now it is the

we learn that great cattle corporations,
like the railroad monopolies East, are
busily engaged in filling up all unset

A Scotch concern in Edinburgh is ne,
gotiating a transfer of 67,000 head of
cattle, the consideration being $2,500,

value of $35 per head, including
calves, heifers, yearlings and upward.
Another Eng'ish company, with a
capital of $1,500,000, has just filed its
articles of association. Large numbers
of young Englishmen are going to

Few people are aware of the enor
mous quantity of land that the govern
ment of, the United States has granted
to the railroads of the country. The
amount Is no. less than 296,000,000
acres. This is an area greater than
thatof the thirteen original States; an
area nearly one-third larger than Texas;
almost as large as the combined terri
tory of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis
souri, Kansas and Nebraska; nearly
three times as large as. Great Britain
and Ireland; more than five times as
great as France; four times greater
than Germany; equal to about one

An absurd superstition prevails that
the bites of all dogs should be either
cut out or cauterized, and the poor ani
mal destroyed. It is not necessary to
adopt either of these serious courses,
provided the dog is healthy. In fact,
they are simply ridiculous, and are cal
culated to produce groundless fear in
the person bitten. Of course, in severe
cases, erysipelas may supervene, but
with ordinary care, the wound being
cleansed by a disinfecting lotion, no se
