The shortage in the anthracite coal supply, caused by the great strike now on, calls to mind the struggles which the introducers of this fuel had less than a century o to induce the people to use it. e ‘‘black stone” was denounced as a fraud, and it was asserted nhat it was impossible to burn it. At the close of the Eighteenth century in 1791, the Lehigh Coal Company tried in vain to sell in Philadelphia the new fuel which liad been found on its property ill Carbon county. Several, at tempts were made to burn an thracite, but for a long time the results were uniformly unsatis factory. Finally, in -1815, the secret was accidentally discover ed. Tests had been made at a rolling mill at Sohuylkill. After repeated attempts tornake it burn by means of frequently raking the fire, the workmen gave up the experiment in disgust, filled the furnace with the worthless “blaok stones,” and left it. Returning a few hours afterward, they were amazed to find a fierce fire with a terrible heat, and thenceforward the problem of burning anthra cite was solved. But the people were slow to believe that it was possible to get heat by burning the black stones. As late as 1888 one Charles Miner wrote as fol lows:‘‘While we pushed forward onr labors at the mine, hauling coal, building arks, etc., we had the greater difficulty to overcome of induoing the public to use our coal when brought to their doors, much as it was needed. We pub lished handbills in English and German, stating the mode of burning the coal, either in grates, fl HnQ nv i n afrvvma ’XTn.

SATIS- smiths’ fires, or in stoves. Nu merous certificates were obtained and printed from blacksmiths whd had successfully used the an thracite. Mr. Cist formed a mod el of a coal stove and got a num ber cast. Together we went to the several houses in the oity and prevailed on the masters to allow us to kindle fireB of anthraoite in their grates, ereoted to burn Liv erpool coal. We attended black smiths’ shops and persuaded some to alter the “too-iron” so that they might burn the Lehigh coal, and we were sometimes oblig ed to bribe journeymen to try the experiment fairly, so averse”were they to learning the usp of a new sort of fuel so different from what they were aooustomed to.” But even these methods were slow to overcome popular preju dice. It was only when, through a sudden rise in the prioe of char coal, the manufacturers began to use anthracite that the new fuel found its way into favor. To-day a shortage~an anthracite coal famine—brings great distress. The Half Has Not Been Toldjgg| Macon News, Oct. 8. Every body had ample warning not to be surprised Avhen it was found what a big thing the Na tional Farmer’s Congress is; yet there.is hardly a person who at tended the opening exercises yes terday morning at the Academy of Music who was not astonished at the important nnd imposing body of men, and the program of the congress. The delegates are from many states. Far oft' Wisconsin and Michigan sent men and women, who ure delighted with the oitv’s. cordial welcome, the fine exhibits, of .Georgia products and the genial Southern sunshine. California fruit growers are surprised that Georgia peaches and grapes and ilums are as fine as those grown n their own country. Western planters show eager interest in the many grains that Georgia soil ias grown, and men who have seen the lumber camps of the northwest, linger over the slabs of Georgia pine and walnut and oak and cedar. The name and fame of Georgia, the Empire state, will be carried to the far corners of the United States by this meeting in Macon, and Dixie land will have a broad er meaning to those who, have seen it now, The great subject of interest to the Northern and Western farmers is the cotton crop. The delegates may be seen with the bursted bolls of cotton pinned on their badges, that pro claim they are from Illinois or Wisconsin or Ohio. They are all pleased and sur prised with Georgia and Macon; and every body here, is surprised and pleased with the magnificent body of men representing the Farmers National Congress. Maoon is orowded with visitors, and this week will be long remem- E ered as one of the biggest in the istory of the city. The Amerioan Ornithological Union is sending out circulars to prominent men in Georgia oalling attention to the fact that under the statutes this state gives no protection to insectivorous and weed-seed eating birds during large portion of the year. These birds, it is argued, are of great value to farmers and fruit grow ers and should have protection It is probable that the Legisla ture, at its approaching session will be asked to extend its good offices to these feathered friends of the farmers. The Philadelphia Ledger esti mates that during the past twen ty years striking employees this country sustained a loss $257,000,000 in wages, while their employers lost $122,000,000. the ' strike loss and the fire loss could be eliminated from Amerioan business, we would grow rich much more rap idly. With great pride they showed him the family tree, apd he stud ied its with interest. ‘ ‘ Say I ” h< exclaimed, “you must be right.” “Do you think so?” tl „ asked. “Sure,” he replied. “Why your pedigree is almost as long as my dog’s.”—Chicago Post. Do We Want It? Reports of railroads handling that class of travel report that the tide of foreign immigration is turning southward. We are not so sure that the south is to be congratulated upon this turn. While the south wants and will welcome more settlers, it is question as to whether that class of foreigners now pouring into this country is the desirable kind Judging from what is happening in those sections where most of them are going, we ar,e convinced that their presence does not add muoh if any thing to the prosper ity and certainly nothing to the peace of communities they infest Immigrants are not what they used to be, no way.—Oglethorpe Echo. A writer in a Catholic period! oal notes the striking effect on religious statistics of the acquisi tion of Porto Rico and the Philip pines by the United States. By including the populations of the islands as given -by the Bureau of Statistics, he finds that of the church going people under the American flag 17,000,000,'or more then 60 per cent, are Catholics.
