The anthracite coal trade continues ex tremely dull and the production slightly incressed from week to week. During the month of January this year the anthra cite and bituminous coals together have increased something over seventy per centum on what they were in the corres ponding month last year. With such a weight as this on the market there seems but one way of relief, and that is to lesson the production of coal. The next best thing to this if opeators will presist in going on with their work, is to hold their coal firmly at circular prices. The gener al belief is still maintained that all the anthracite coal mined in 1880 will be re quired and used, whether the prices are a dollar per ton more or less. For manu facturing purposes the difference of a dol lar per ton in fuel, when distributed and divided in the cost of manufactured mate rial, is scarcely appreciable. The market for coal, therefore, in a great degree de pends with the operators themselves. If they determine to have remunerative prices for coal they have but to fix them at the proper point and adhere to their circurlar rate. When the trade and bus iness of the country require more manu factures of iron the requirement will be duly met, and cannot be without the free use of coal. Those therefore, who may de termine to proceed with coal mining have only to settle with themselves the cost of carrying the coal piled. If this point can not be satisfactorily reconciled with them selves let them call a halt in production until the current market demand catches up with the supply. There need be 110 se rious difficulty with the coal operators if they will but consent to act in concert and in harmony.— Philadelphia Ledger. Another instance of a "lost art" pres ents itself in the case of the Egyptian ob elisk, the removal of which is now being superintended by Lieutenant Commander Gorringe, of the U. S. Navy. Commander Gorringe, who is well versed in modern engineering, testifies that it would be im possible to improve any part of the con structions of the foundation and pedestal of this great shaft, constructed about two thousand years ago. The "iron or steel" dogs which bound the several pieces of granite together in precisely the same manner as in the best work of the kind at the present day (including the lead packing) are of a quality of metal surpass ing any productions of Russia, Sweden or Pennsylvania. While it is as hard as steel it is as ductile as the softest wrought iron To remove the foundations, says Gorringe, "has been as great a piece of work as it must have been to construct them." "The stone works of the obelisk is not calculated to excite fresh wonder, but the quality of "iron or steel" described is a nut to crack for the metal workers of the present day which would immortalize the successful experiment- In a letter of instruction to the census supervisors, the superintendent say : The superintendent is aware of no reasons existing in law for regarding woman as ineligible for appointment a 8 enumerators. Each supervor must be the judge for himself whether such appoint ments in any number would be practically advantageous in his own district. It is clear that in many regions such appoint ments would be highly objectionable, but the superintendent is not prepared to say that localities may not be found where a canvass of the population by woman could be conducted without any disadvantage being encountered by reason of the sex of the enumerator.
