A solid cubic foot of anthracite coal ‘weighs ninety-three pounds. When broken for use, it weighs about fifty- four pounds. Bituminous coal, when broken up for use, weighs about fifty pounds. The consequent rule for the approximate measurement of coal in a bin or box is to multiply the length in feet by the height in feet and again by the breadth in feet and this result by fifty-four for anthracite coal or by fifty for bituminous coal. 2,000.-â€"Popular Mechanics. ________â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Flrst American Peerage. It is recorded in a history of the United States that an Indian chief . after baptism, was: named Mante, made a peer, receiving the rank of baron and assuming the title of Lord of Roanoke, so far back as the year 1587. Somewhat later, in 1609, the ' title of Lord Delaware was granted by James I. to the new governor of Virginia. Later still, in 1633, Charles 1., among his coronation honors, con- ferred the title of Viscount Canada upon Sir William Alexander. _..â€"“’4: i BRITISH ‘ The result . will equal the number of pounds, and ‘ to find the number of tons divide by ', Blanc range.” “Oh,” he replied scornfully, “they’re I am after walking comes from such a height that you don't know where it comes from.

A Chinese engagement dates its be- ginning from the cXclizmge of red cards ' between the parents of the contracting I parties. These cards in many districts . are immense documents. almost the .. size of a horse blanket. They are im- : portant for the reason that they are i used as evidence in case of disagree- ments in the future. We seldom bear in China of broken engagements. Yet I if a quarrel cannot be settled peaceful- 1! judge usually imposes a fine upon the party who has broken the contract. The chief incident in a Chinese mar- riage is the arrival of the bride in her bridal clothes before the house of her chosen one. That is a de facto fulfill- ment of the contract. The wedding day is determined by the parents of the groom. the lucky days. and on such days the so called red celebrations take place. ‘ both in the cities and country. ________â€"â€"â€" The Leverage In a Screwdriver.
