BURNETTE. HE DEFENDED TRUTH. Martin Luther Before Charles V. in 1581. The 'Luther league 'topic for Apmil 19th is based upon "Jeremiah, i, 15-19, It was at the Diet of Worms, April I1Sth, 152), that Luther stood before the einperor and other "great men of Germany to defend the truth. The<pope had ordered that Luther's writifigs be destroyed. Charles V, the new emperor of Germany, ob his way to hold the Diet of Worms, was met by Elector Frederick, who dethanded that Tuther be given a hearing before he whould be condemned. He there fore ordered 'hint\ brought before the diet. While all believed that some of Luther's writing® were good, yet they were offended at others. It was de ¢ided that there 'should be no erga ment, but the simple questions put to him whether or not he would recall all his writings. The diet was held in the palace of the emperor, Luther appeared on the evening of April 17th. His books were placed on a bench beside him, and he was awked two questions. First whether he acknowledged having writ ten the books. Secon whether he would retract their contents or persist in them. He answered that the hooks wie written by him and asked that he be given time to think about the other answer. The next day (the 18th) the question was again put 'to hin. It was here that Luther made his most famous speech. He explained his various writings in both Latin and German. His enemies threatened and urged' him, bat hé would recall nothing he had written. Finally Eck said: "It is not =a matter for debate; these Heérewies have already been condemned by pope and councils, Gwe us now an snswer, not an evasion; an answer without horns I" And here is the answer he got: - "Since your imperial your excellencies desire straightfor ward answer, an answer will 1 give having neither horns nor teeth.

' LL -------------- MARVELLOUS INCREASE -- In The US, Bituminous Cost ; Production. A diagram, ; with tabulated state: ments of the annual production of bia: uminogs coal in. the United States, prepa the Coal Trade Journhl of New York, shows what oe A pr this, has , Par ticularly noticeable is. the growth of soft coal in the last half dor en years, as fi #:- 147,000,000 tons in 1897, 164,000,000 tons In 1898, 191. 600,000 tons in. 1590, 205,000,000 tons in 1900, 223 000, Jan in 1901, and 250,000,000 tons if 1902, and 280,000, 000 tons estimated in 1908. It might have been supposed that with such 'a large output the rate of increase would become smaller, but it goes forward with mighty strides, and the indicgtions are that 360,000,000 tons, a million tons a day, will be mined in 1906, Thirty ye ago Nlinols and Penneylv took, a year. to produte a tonnage that ie turmed owt now in one month, and West Virginia in 1908 will produce as much in a week a was: produced in-a whole vear in 1807, At present the bituminous tonnage is five times as gost as the apthrecite, 'Fhe bituminous coal trade has about quadrupled since 1885, and the increase of 1908 over 1900. is as much as the whole aggregate output of the United States in all years prior to 1857. The output this year will be as great. os the total production for all years prior to 1871, and the combined output of 1902 and 1903 equals all the business prior to 1880. Scarcely less moticeable' than the volume of the bituminous business is the concentration of control, so. that twenty-five companies control a ton nage of 115,000,000, or equal to near ly one-half of all the soft pasl weed in the United States. The Pittsburg Coal company alone. Jest year suined 19, 000,000 tons, which is 1,000,000 tos more than the production of the whole of the United States in 1800.
