The geological survey issued a re
port on coal ' produced in the United
States for 1908. The figures for Ala
bama are;11,004,593 tons, as compared
with 14,250,454 tons in 1907, a decrease
.of 2,645,861 tons, in round numbers
(the estimated decrease in the value of
the coal as compared with the year be
fore was $3,750,000.
During the last twelve years, the
period covering the administration
of Secretary of Agriculture James

that the new United States torpedo

the swiftest vessel in the American
navy.

A value of £4 a milligram (equiva.
sent to £114,000 an ounce) has been
placed on radlum by a contract just
entered into between the British me
talliferous mines and Lord Iveagh
and Sir Ernest Cassel for the supply
of 7% grams (rather more than a
quarter of an ounce) of pure radium
bromide. This very large order for
radium will be supplied from the'
above named company's mine near
Grampound road in Cornwall. In the
short history of radium there has
never hitherto been known any great
or order than a gram. The first re
colored order on a large scale will
therefore be supplied from the Brit
ish source from which several of the
smaller orders have already been sup- |
plied. Messrs. Buchler & Co., of Bruns- |
wick, will produce the radlum troml
the Cornish pitchblende under the
superintendence of Professor Giesel,
their chief chemist. The 7% grams
of radium referred to are to be pre
sented by Lord Iveagh and Sir Ernest
Cassel to the radium institute, to the
information of which they have al
ready contributed very large funds.

under the surgical direction of Sir

Chase for President. -
A circular, “strictly private,” asign
ed by Senator Pomeroy, and in favor
of Mr. Chase for President, has been
detected and published. It will be
more dangerous in its recoil than its
projectile. That is, it will damagze
Chase more than Lincoln. The effect
on the two men themselves will not
be serious. Both of them desire the
position, which is not surprising; it
certainly is not in the President, who
would .be gratified with an endorse
ment. Were 1 to advise Chase, it
would be not to aspire to the posi
tion, especially not as a competitor
with the man who has given him his
confidence, and with whom he has
acted in -the administration of .the
government at a most eventful period.
The President well understands
Chase’s ‘wish, and is somewhat hurt
that he should press forward under
the circumstances. Chase tries to
have it thcught that he is indifferent
and scarcely coguizant of what Is
doing in his behalf, but no one of
his partisans is sO well posted as
Chase himself.—Gideon Welles, in the
Atlantic.

The most interesting announce- |
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materfally to the advan
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveiand, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra
tion of the new fuel in the 1909 Glid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the publie,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi
sion of observers, named by thaese
who entered other contesting ecars.
Therefore, it would have been impos
sible for the driver of the White to
have even tightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
flicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

“Fezema began over the top of my ear.
It cracked and then began to spread. 1
had three different doctors and tried sev
eral things, but they did me no good. At
last one gide of my face and my neck were
raw. 'The water ran out of it so that 1
had to wear medicated cotton, and it was
so inflamed and sore that I had to put a
piece of cloth over my pillow to keep the
water from it, and it would stain the cloth
a sort of yellow. The eczema itched so
that it seemed as though I could tear my
face all to pieces. Then I began to use the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and it was
not more than three months before it was
all healed up. Miss Ann Pearsons, North

The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 2650-mile puktlic
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
gent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
“A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero
sene, or ‘coal oil,’ as fuel instead of.
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso
lene. Seocondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
‘ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made a most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv
alry among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of com
fort. The only adjustments or re
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubri
cator pipe and wiring a damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
flicted until more than 2000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score.”
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that thefuelmay be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in a couple of
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proven to be, that it is
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that
the demands for their new steam cars
—both the S2OOO-model and the
S4OOO-model—exceed their most san
guine expectations. It is evident that
'the combination of steam—-the pow
ier which everyone understands and
' has confidence in-—with kerosene—
the fuel which everyone has on hand
and can handle without any danger
—is thoroughly appreciated by
up-to-date purchasers of automoe
' biles.
