even hundred years have elapsed
since one William Wurts. a Pb'.ladel-
phla merchntrt, drove his team of
mules with the first ton of autliraclte
through the spring freshets and bog
land to the banks of the Delaware
river and floated the new fuel down
the river to Philadelphia on a plue
log raft.
But he experienced no little diffi
culty In that first anthracite year of
18211 in overcoming the popular objec
tion that the coal was “extremely slow
of lighting.” Pine log rafts floated
only 365 tons of anthracite that year.
But It fetched a price of $12 a ton
and could be delivered frelght-on-raft
Philadelphia at $3—a fact that was
freely advertised to attract additional
capital, for. of course, there was no
profiteering In those days.
Spring freshets aud bog land and
slow inflammability no longer worry
operators. Silk shirts for miners are
a bigger nuisance. But production in
a hundred years has JuiAped to 86.-
290.000 tons, and could this year sur
pass the 100 mlllion-ton mark, which
was almost reached in 1917.

Men of Science Forced to Admit Exact
Results From Their Calculations
Are Not Possible.
The celebrated observatory at Green
wich, the place from which we reckon
longitude, was founded by Charles II
in 1675. mainly for the purpose of in
vestigating the movements of the moon
in the interests of navigation. Although
in the Intervening two and a half cen
turies astronomers have worked at the
problem, the moon has not yet become
entirely amenable to their mathemat
ics. In a recent report of the obser
vatory at Greenwich attention is in
vited to the increasing deviation be
tween the calculated position of tbe
moon In the sky and its real position
’ shown by the Greenwich observations.
The deviation has lately been growing
in a serious manner. The error last
year was more than twelve times as
large as the error twenty years ago,
and the average annual Increase dur
ing the two decades has amounted to
half a second of arc in longitude. The
reason that astronomers have failed
in getting exact results from calcula
tions bused on the dynamical laws of
gravitation is possibly the existence
of some attractive force that they have
not yet discovered, ulthougii the result
may also be affected by the trife shape
if the earth, which still awaits ac-
•urate determination.

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT EARTH
The earth’s crust Is compared to
the skin of an apple by the writer of
a leading article In the Scientific
American Monthly. Our knowledge of
the globe on which we live, he says,
is not even skin deep; for an apple
as large as the earth would have a
skin twenty miles thick; and no one
has been much more tlmn a mile In
to the crust, or has bored into it with
tools more than a mile and a half. It
Is rather humiliating to think that
we know more about' the sun, ninety
millions of miles away, than we do
of the solid earth under our feet. We
think nothing of dispatching exploring
expeditions to unknown regions thou
sands of miles away; how about a
little expedition to points only a few
miles distant—vertically downward?
Such explorations have been proposed,
although the boldest explorer has not
dared to suggest going further than
twelve miles—a trip that would take
him on the surface of the earth only
from one end of Manhattan island
to the other.
Success Through Optimism.
At one time while building the Pana
ma canal there were eight thousand
men engaged in the Culebra cut alone.
Every night as much soil slid into the
cut its could -be taken out during the
day. But there was not a sign of dis
couragement—the men enjoyed the
fight.
Colonel
Goetlinls
walked
through the cut one morning Just after
an extensive slide. Tbe foreman had
been on the job since midnight.
“Well, how Is everything this morn
ing, Mr. Hogan?” asked Goethals.
“Fine. Colonel, fine. It buried that
steam shovel over there and tipped
over two batteries of drills and cov
ered all the tracks through the cut
but one. but everything's fine, sir.
