Eighty-four, seventeen, 84. tT.
t.ooked at in any way. wtit.cn In
whatsoever fashion, they do not 'em
to tnpan more or to be mm th-n just
eighty-four, seventeen a common
combination if feur figures which an
untutored child might write ovpr and
again upon a slate. Juggle tlipin this
way and that, an a conjuror would four
glass balls, and still they are Just eight
and four and one and seven, fur aught
ire know who have not beeh Intruded
In their singular significance.
But the other dny a man came out of
the north nnd stood on a bleak and for
...iilng hill at Cane Sublne. and Bhook
Is head, and said, "Eighty-four, seven
teen." What he meant wan this:
1 lint pluck nud Intelligence anil mon
ey had mice more combined in vain:
that Lieut. Peary had made a northing
of only M degrees and 17 minutes, and
had missed liy :l'iO miles the goal of his
amliiiion, and mat the arctic still kept
ita mystery side within Its cruel, white
nnd seductive liosom.
Whether nil this should le set down
as splenAid lo'iiance or plain, ordinary
folly depends much upon the point of
view.
Like little Peterkln. when he found n
skull In the cornfield and wanted to
Know "what tliey killed each other tor,"
here ore many very sensible people
who sanely live and die, make love and
pay their taxes, and do not unuerstand
at all this thing called arctic explora
tion." Indeed, there Is so much of a hazo
and nolo around tl.e arctic explorer
that to find out the man and his mo
tive is almost as ('.illliult as to attain
to the pole itself. No glorious knight
of the Table Hound ever engaged In
more shadowy. iitungihle quest, with
lees hoi- of what the world calls re
ward, or earned the plaudits of a more
thunderous, gaping audience, than
these knights errant of the snows.
The truth Is that the great arctic
motive Is composed of many wants Hnd
Impulses Imaginations, thirst for
knowledge, love of adventure, the am
bition to ex?eL end the mere eagerness
that men have to be doing something.
The Vlklngg wer arctic explorers be
cause they wanted to find Nlvlhelm,
the mythical land where the frost
giants played. Krlc the Red loved the
cold spray on his cheek. Later, the
early Norwegians sailed into the un
known north because new lands were
needed fcr the restless men who crowd
ed Norway.
Othar, of Alfred's court, "desiring to
know," sailed around the North Cape
in 690. and told a fine yarn about it.
Likewise, Harold Hardrada, King of
the Northmer sent his prows north
ward till they were gray with the
frozen sorry, and he ran plump into
darkness and barely escaped Ginnunga
gap, the abyss of the world's end a
most excellent adventure, Indeed, and
fine stuft for gran leather talis and
minstrelsy for many and many a day.
Then came the medieval dream of a
northwest passage by the open Polar
Sea to the wealth of India and Cathay.
The idea took firm hold upon tue rich
fifteenth century imagination: and
even as late as 1607 Henry Hudson
tried to find in the north an open wa
terway to the Pacific. Dreams: Yes,
But, says Nansen, "England has to
thank these chimeras in no small de
gree for the fact that she has become
the mightiest seafaring nation ot the
.world." Splendid dreans, indeed. Ul
tima Thule! The words fairly tingle
with the reiterated romance of the
centuries bold voyages into uncharted
deeps where tho blue berga held their
sway. v
As for modern motive, Nansen gives
the clew to it when he writes often and
again of "wresting the secret from
theso unknown regions of ice," and
when he said of his proposed attempt
to drift across the pole from the New
Siberian Islands to the Greenland
coast. "It is not to seek for the ex
act mathematical point that forms the
northern extremity tf the earth's axis,
that we set out, for to reach this point
Is intrinsically of small moment. Our
object is to investigate the great un
known region that surrounds the pole."
Nansen reached 86.14.
All of which does not yet make clear
the bootless tolling, the useless sacri
fice, the mtigniflcent courage that arc
tie sacrifice, the magnificent courage
that arctic explorations exact. To find
tho true incentive, we shall have to go
deeper yet, and touch those hidden
springs that tumble men headlong
Into such mad, forlorn and futile do
ings as mystify the godB.
Only the other day a little dried up'
man, with his face scorched to a crust,
like lava, returned to Algiers with a
simple, brief story of having traveled
2000 miles among the Moroccan Ber

would have made a fine but deplorably

So, nfter all. the reason why men

"The world's Htel supply," r.l'rt an
officers of the Bureau of American lie
publics, "has recently been niado the
subnet o' m Intpfc f;rij stu ly by Dr.
Ferdinand Fischer of outtctiKcn, Ger
many, who has collected with much
care all the available data as to tho
coal resources of the globe. His find
ings are made of peculiar value by the
recent anthracite strike here, with Its
focussing of American attention
on fuel."
It Is a curious commentary, that
while China, so far as is known, Is
richer In coal than any other country
In the world, almost none of It I yet
available for steam power. It Is large
ly used by the Chinese, but mainly In
the regions where It Is mined. The
land routes are so poor that It does
not pay to haul coal more tha'i 23
miles-. Unless a mine ts within this
distance of water carriage, the area
of tho distribution of the output Is
confined to the immediate neighbor
hood. Steamships nt fc-lrjnghul are to
day filling their bunker with co.tl
brought from Kuropp. because It is
cheaper than coal xpcnslvely brought
from Chinese mines Mi the Interior.
In Dr. Fischer's opinion, Germany
has a coal supply thill will meet the
nerds of that country for about Jituo
yenrs. Dr. Fischer also reaches tne
conclusion that probably within the
next 50 years, and certainly within this
century. Great Britain, at the present
rate of consumption, will exhaust her
coul resources. She certainly cannot
go on supplying the larger part of the
world's export., The total production
of coal In Great Britain in 1WI
amounted to 2 1'J.0 16,1)45 gross tons,
against 225.1S1.3U0 tons In l'.00. Japan
has large coal resources, particularly
in the southern provlncp of Kiushiu.
Borneo Is rich in coal formations, as
is als New South Wales, a fact that
is enabling Sydney to forge ahead of
the other Australian cities In Industri
al development. Africa and South
America are poorer In conl than any
of the other continents, but the devel
opment of coal mines In South Africa
bids fair to supply the Industrial needs
of the country.
According to returns to the Vnlted
States Geological Survey from produc
ers representing fully 97 percent of the
entire coal output of the United States,
the production of 1001 amounted to
292,240,758 short tons, valued at $348,
81.1.831. As compared with 1900, when
the output amounted to 269,831.827
short tons, worth 306.S91.364, this rep
resents an increase of 3 percent In
quantity, and 13.6 percent In value.
Tho production of Pennsylvania an
thracite showed a phenomenal Increase
from 51,221,353 long tons in 1900 to
60,242.560 long tons in 1901. This rep
resented a gain of 17 1-2 percent, the
largest percentage of gain made by the
anthracite trade in 20 years. Part ot
this Increase was due to the strike In
1900, which reduced the output that
year by over 2,500,000 long tons. Tho
Increase lu the value of the anthracite
product Is still more striking, the
amount received at the mines last year
showing a gain of more than 31 per
cent over that of 1900. A period of
prosperity enabled consumers general
ly to pay higher prices for their fuel,
and a railroad monopoly made them do
so.
The production ot bituminous coal,
lignite, cannel coal, etc., in the United
States Increased from 212,513,912 short
tons in 1900 to 224,769,091 short tons in
1901, indicating a gain ot about 6 per
cent. The value of this product
amounted to $236,309,811, as compared
with $221,133,513 in 1900, an increase
ot $lS,l'io,29S, or a little less than 7
percent.
The coal production of the United
States last year was nearly 20 percent
more than Great Britain's; .nearly SO
percent larger than Germany's; nearly
seven times that ot Austria-Hungary,
and more than eight times that of
France, England, however, continues
to export more coal than all other
countries. It supplies far more coal
ing stations than any other country. .
The business of selling coal abroad
Is usually very profitable, and one rea
son why England surpasses all com
petitors in this line Is because her coal
is so near the sea that she is able to
ship It less expensively than any other
exporting nutlon. Owing to the more
extensive use of coal-mining machin
ery, much of the tnited States coal
at the pit mouth does not cost as much
as British coal when raised to the sur
face, but by the time it is shipped on
the ocean It usually costs more than
British coal. England bas special ad
vantages for the export coal trade,
and she improves them to the utmost,
in spite ot the fact that economists
assert that the present century will see
the end of her coal resources.
A comparison ot the coal resources
of Great Britain and the United States
was recently made by A. S. E. Acker
mann, who shows that the area of coal
fields In the United States is about
225,000 square miles, as compared with
900 square miles In the United King
dom. When it comes to actual mining op
erations the American uses much more
machinery than the Briton. Mr. Ack
ermann says that the annual product
of the American miner averages 626
tons, while that of the British miner is
only 300. In America the railway
freight charge per ton-mile Is about
one-sixth as large as In Oreat Britain,
Three causes operate to produce the
result. Coal In the United States li
usually shipped in cars holding SO tons,
while in Oreat Britain It is broken up
Into six-ton or ten-ton lots; second,
the original Investment of capital la
rallronds Is UlU'ii grrnter a tulle In
England than In America, and the rates
must be heavier In order to pay divi
dends; and third, our hauls are longer.
A recent rniort by Consul Brttnot of
St. Etlenne, France, slates that a con
cern In that country is now engnRed
In the manufacture of solid petroleum,
that Is, petroleum so treated that It
may tie handled as coal or coke. This
product Is manufactured In the form
of briquettes, wnlch are composed
chiefly of petroleum, either crude or
refined, and possess all the desirable
qualities of coal and vrdlunry petro
leum without any of the objectionable,
characteristics of either.
The principal expense In the manu
facture of the new fuel Is tbe oil, the
other Ingredients and the labor cost
ing comparatively little.
Serious attention has been given In
recent years to the possibilities In the
use of peat as fuel. In Nortn Euro
pean countries, In Ireland, ad In some
other regions, the peat deposits have
formed for a long time an Important
fuel supply. Even In Germnny, which
Is relatively rich In conl. the peat bogs
are exploited extensively, lu the United
States there has been little Inducement
for the development of the country's
peat wealth; nevertheless, many be
lieve that there Is a wide field for
profitable use ot this fuel In this coun
try. Far greater possibilities In this
direction exist In Canada. That coun
try la practically bare of coal, but rich
lu peat, ami may be forced to consid
er the use of the latter on an extended
scale.
Teat, In Its nnturul state. Is a poor
fuel. It holds, suspended ill the
meshes of the network of vegetable
fibres of which It Is composed, a very
large percentage of wuter, und also
contains much water In more Intimate
combination. A number ot methods
of treating it are In operation. It has
long been realized, however, that the
moBt desirable peat product would be
a coke, and numerous attempts have
ben made In this direction. Up to the
present none of these have proved suc
cessful. A process developed quite re
cently promises better resultB. If the
claims made for It are well founded,
the peat coke It produces will soon be
a valuable fuel. New York Post.

Getting a check cashed is no easy
matter sometimes. A poet solved the
difficulty lust week pretty successfully.
Walking into the Fifth Avenue Bunk
he said to the cashier, "I don't suppose
you will cash this check without I am
Identified?" The cashier seemed to
agree with him that something ot the
sort would be required and bunded him
over to the manager. The latter
scanned the check nnd said: "Well, I
know your writings, but I have not
bad the pleasure of meeting your be
fore." The poet said the disappoint
ment hud been mutual. Then there
wus a pause. "Have you got anything
about you, except letters, which would
be likely to lead to your Identifica
tion?" The poet said be hud not.
"Well." hummed the manager, "have
you. for Instance, any initials In your
hat?" The poet said he had not, but
If the manager would allow him five
minutes' grace, he would go round to
the nearest hatter's and have them put
in. Then there wus a mutual smile.
"Have yon a cnrdV" The poet had.
As this did not seem to sutlsfy the dis
