The firm occupies two buildings, each two stories high and 400 fect long. Over 400 men are “employ: ed. The capacity of the works is 20,000,000 rolls of wall paper annually. Thirteen new coal mines are now be- ing opened in Cambria county.

At Rochester the banking house of John Conway & Co. was entered, but only about $15 in pennies was secured. A hole had been drilled in the safe used by the bank and the combination bro- ken.

Gur Interests in Central America. For more than half a ctnaury enter- prising and perhaps adventurous citi- zens of these United States have visited Central America, and in many cases settled down there in agricultural or business pursuit. These interests have grown stronger and more prominent as the knowledge of their value and im- portance has increased, until now an overgrowing tendency promises to still further develop and bind more closely the trade relations between these com- paratively infant republics and. their old- er and more powerful sister republic in MINES AND MINERS.

The production of anthracite coal this year is a couple of million of tons ahead of the same period of 1899, and it is thought more coal will be produced in 1900 than ever before. Many mills and factories that have been shut down are starting up and this has created a bet- ter demand. The leading officials of the anthracite coal companies take a fa- vorable view of the future and they are of the opinion that there will be a big demand before the end of the year. Last month the production was curtailed, it being fixed at 3,750,000 tons, but it is thought this a will be at least 4,- 000,000 tons, ag toward the their mines. full time. he London “coal ring,” although it rules the metropolitan market, is not unassailable. There are more w ays than one of beating the “ring,” and there is shortly to be introduced to the English market a fuel that promises to be con- heating and illuminating purposes. This material is peat, not as peasants use it in soft and bulky form, but chemically y prepared and compressed into blocks | that will ignite readily and burn slowly, giving out gneat heat, with a clear, bright flame, and producing very little smoke and ash. And the supply of peat is practically inexhaustible. There are millions of acres of this fuel in Great Britain and Ireland, the latter country giaas having 3,000,000 acres of peat 0 Fhe “distressed country” has an inad- equately developed source of wealth in these bogs. Germany has shown how | these marshy tracts can be turned into a veritable gold mine, for there a flour- ishing industry is maintained in the manufacture of peat fuel, despite the fact that the German bogs are only from feet to 20 feet in depth, while in thes islands the depth varies from 23 feet to 40 feet. There have been many attempts to utilize the peat lands of this country, but success has not until recent crowned these efforts. The great dif- ficulty has been in drying the peat--— which when taken from the bog con- tains 70 to 80 per cent of moisture— without cracking the blocks. Now, overcome. An economical method of preparing the peat has been discovered, and works are in course of erection on a large peat moss in the north of Eng- land, with the object of putting the fuel on the market before the winter.

GUNS BY ENDLESS CHAIN. Smuggled Weapons said to Come From This Country. A private letter received from a Soutt Carolina boy who is serving with the army in the Philippines, gives a new version to facts about the Philippine war. The correspondent wrote that he was present when a great stack of heavy machinery was being transferred to carts. At least the boxes were marked machinery, and instructions were given to handle with care. In some way one of the large boxes was thrown from the uw cart and broken open and instead of finding machinery the crowd which gathered saw that the box was filled with rifles and ammunition shipped from the United States. “This thing has been going on for some time,” said the correspondent, “and hundreds of rifles have been ship- ped here from home. The stuff is smug- gled in and is passed without difficulty. The United States Government pays the natives $15 each for all the old rifles turned in, and hundreds of these have ,cen delivered for the ransom. The na- tives have no hesitancy in giving up their guns when they know that a bet- ter class of shooting iron can be had for less money than the Government pays for the old w eapons. ” Legend of St. Wini'red’s Well, The following legend is supposed to have given its name to St. Winifred’s well, once the most celebrated holy well in Great Britain; Winifiéd, a ao- ble British maiden of the seventh cen- tury, was beloved by a tain Prin-e Cradocus. She repuls sed his suit, and he in revenge cut off her head. The prince was immediately struck dead and the earth, opening, = swallowed him.
