Finding Substitutes for Hard Coal.
The New England States, which
have been the principal market for an-
thracite coal in recent years are grow-
ing tired of the constant quibbles and
threats of tie-ups between miners and
operators, and are taking steps to find
a substitute fuel so they will no longer
be dependent on hard coal. The west
and northwest did that very thing
some years ago, and but comparative-
ly little anthracite is now used in that
region. The anthracite operators and
the miners alike are apt to find them-
selves with a constantly dwindling
market for their product, as the con-
sumers do not propose to freeze nor
to be kept in constant anxiety while
waiting for them to settle their dif-
ferences.

Sugar or Candy.
Granulated, lump, pulverized and
brown sugars, though differing in tex-
ture and flavor, are practically alike in
composition. They contain little or
nothing but sugar. A pound of candy
may be considered the equivalent in
fuel value of a pound of sugar. Water
which has no fuel value, is used in
making candy, but so, too, are choco-
late and nut meats, which have higher
fuel value of a pound of sugar. Water
tion of sugar in thick sirups, such as
honey and molasses, is about three-
fourths of a pound to the pound, and
in jellies, jams and rich preserves,
about one-half of a pound to the
pound.
Nome Facing Famine.
Nome, Alaska, is facing a famine as
the result of being swept by fire re-
cently. The flames destroyed some of
the buildings made historic by the fa-
mous gold rush. The estimated dam-
age is $200,000. Starvation faces the
people on account of one of the larg-
est grocery stores going up in the
flames.

SCIENCE TRANSFORMS DREAD-
ED DEATH VALLEY.
Science has started the transform-
ation of bleak Death Valley, the most
forbidding part of all the far-flung
Mojave desert. It may become a
veritable Garden of Eden.
Chicago capitalists have completed
plans for the establishment of a mag-
nificent health resort near the Stove-
pipe wells, where water can be raised
in abundance from a depth of less
than twenty feet; California grape
growers are planting hundreds of
acres of vineyards; the department of
agriculture has established a station
for the propagation of date palms,
and private ranchers are slowly but
surely forcing back the domain of des-
olation with the aid of irrigation.
Sentineled by desolate mountains
containing land lying hundreds of feet
below the sea level, swepi by burning
sandstorms and shimmering in the
tropical heat, Death Valley has been
a synonym for horror in the west since
the first emigrant train dared its
blistering wastes. The very names of
the peaks, gorges and springs whisper
of tragedy.
Furnace creek, Funeral mountains,
Lost hills, Hearse canyon, Disaster
peak, Hell canyon—these and a dozen
other fearsome titles tell of the dread
of the early pioneers and prospectors.
Panting wanderers, stumbling
across sparkling springs, quaffed the
cool waters to writhe out their lives
in the throes of arsenic poisoning.
Mirages—mocking illusions wrought
by its sand and heat on disordered
minds, ever beckoned to destruction,
until even the dauntless prospectors
pictured the valley as a lair of de-
mons.
Drifting sand dunes obliterated
marked trails and buried the few
springs of safe water until the most
experienced desert wanderer hesitated
to face its terrors. Bleaching bones
long marked the toll of human lives
claimed by the merciless valley
and hardy Indians described its arid
wastes as the “land forgot by the
Great Spirit.”
But with the coming of the auto-
mobile all has changed. Good roads
span the storied wastes. Gypsum,
borax and other nonprecious minerals
have vied with gold and silver to at-
tract population and capital. And
now the green mantle of agriculture
is slowly covering the more favored
positions of this erstwhile sea of des-
olation.
From the hidden waters of the
Armargosa river, flowing for miles
under ground, life giving moisture
has been developed. Hundreds of
wells have tapped precious water dee
in the desert’s stony breast.

Funicular to San Marino
That rock-citadel of the tiny repub-
lic of San Marino, in Italy, which for
centuries has defied assault by armies,
is soon to capitulate to the funicular.
The new line, which will branch off
from the main railroad near Rimini, |
will make the steepest part of the as-
cent, it is stated, upon the longest
series of railroad arches in the world
—more than a mile. San Marino,
which till now has been a sleepy com-
munity of shepherds and truck gar-
deners, is making a brave bid for the
tourist trade. Enjoying as magnifi-
cent a natural vista as one can see
anywhere in Europe, it is preparing
to assist nature with. modern hotels
and sport grounds. But gambling re-
mains under the ban as always. Any
time in the last half-century the poor
herdsmen and land tillers of San Ma-
rino could have made themselves rich
by granting one of the many requests
of foreign companies for a gambling
concession, similar to the one that
relieves the citizens of Monaco of all
tax burdens. But San Marino, on
moral grounds, has continued to say
no.

Boy Scouts Aided Sailors
When the United States fleet recent-
1y anchored in Hawaiian waters a num-
ber of the vessels docked at Hilo.
Here the sailors had an opportunity
of seeing the volcano and other inter-
esting sights,
An official committee was formed to
take charge of the entertainment of the
visitors and the information work.
This latter duty was placed in the
hands of the local scout council.
“About 150 of our scouts turned out
for this good turn,” states a report
from Hilo. “Some of these boys came
over 180 miles to take part in the
work, and paid their own expenses for
travel and food. The scouts took
charge of information booths, kept
flags used in street decoration, in cor-
rect position, and assisted the police
at the regatta and concert, during the
parade, and in traffic work.”
In Summer it doesn’t get dark until 8 o'clock, and you
