"With Schumann," said Wagner, "It is impossible to arrive at an under standing He says nothing. Some years ago on my return1 from Paris I called upon, him to talk of operas, con certs, composers and other interesting matters with which I hail become ac quainted.

Under existing conditions tlio coal after It bus been undercut is "brought down" by nn ex plosion of gunpowder. The new device brings down tho coal by water power exercised through n hydraulic car tridge and obviates tbo wasteful shat tering of tho fuel. Made of steel, tho cartrldgo Is twen ty Jnchcij in length. Along Its sides ore orifices, each of which admits of a prcssuro of tbreo tons per square Inch, the total prcssuro being over sixty tons. When Inserted Into tlio holo bored Into tho coal to bo operated upon, tho cartrldgo is connected with a small hand pump. In a few minutes after tho apparatus has been at work the conl breaks up and comes down In great blocks. There aro no clouds of dust such as are caused by the gun powder method, and tho entire opera tion Is carried out without tho slightest danger to the workers. About one and a half pints of water nre used in tho operation, and ns tho liquid returns to n tank It can be repeatedly used. Although tho Initial expenditure Is greater, the cartridge method Is much moro economical than tho system now in vogue. It reduces the cot of la bor, prevents wnnto and kccuicb round er conl. One colliery proprietor who has adopted tho Invention for use in tli ico mines computes that each can trldgo eaves 75 per week. A Notable Locomotive.
