their friend, R. H. Russell, of New

The derailment was caused by a

What a Coal Strike in Great Bri-
tain WIII Ito,
A general coal strike falls little
short of a national calamity. The
yearly output from Great Britain's
mines alone reaches the vast total
of 260,000,000 tons. Of last year's
output -261,512,214 tons --we ex-
ported 62.347,17:' tuns, used 19,474,-
174 tons for steamships, and re-
tained for home consumption 179,-
550,865 tons.
Nine hundred thousand workers
in Groat Britain daily put out 900,-
000 tons, and there are never more
than between 7,000,000 and 8,000,-
000 tons of coal on sale at one time
at the thine beaks. Consequently,
there is no such thing as coal stor-
age ; and in ease of a national strike,
the supply would, at the normal de-
mand, be exhausted in a month,
even with rigorous economy. Ev-
erything would be at a standstill.
A strike sends up prices, which
increase still farther as railways,
ironworks, and such great indus-
tries bid against each other for the
black diamonds. A month would
Fnt%ce to see nearly all the 9,000,-
O0t homes of Great Britain without
fires. Gas, electricity, travel,
shops, theatres would be affected;
the police would have no light to
detect midnight marauders, and
chaos would heign supreme. Hun-
dreds of thousands would be starv-
ing, because it is practically impos-
sible to name an industry concerned
with the making of anything which
has not to depend absolutely on
coal.
Till' ti t•NN FR OF WINDSOR.
The Oldest Soldier in the British
Army.
Gunner Samuel Parsons, al-
though nearly eighty-five years of
age, is still on the active list, and
or, a recent Sunday celebrated his
jubilee as the King's Gunner in the
great round tower at Windsor
Castle. Ho is the Grand Old Man
of Windsor. and he and his wife
'-.e a wonderful couple. Tho gun -
$is probably the oldest soldier
he British army, and has drawn
'fel` ea: fur sixty-five years. He
was born lei the parish of Morval,
East Lou, Cornwall, in 1825, and
at the age of nineteen enlisted in
the Royal Regiment of Artillery.
He fought at Inkerman and went
over the battlefield of Balaclava af-
ter the fnnious charge.
"During all the fifty years I have
been eon the Round Power," he said
the other day, "there has never
been an accident --only to the flags.
I have had as many as five flags
torn to shreds in one day, and one
morning last year I could not hoist
a flag at all, as the wind was so
strong. and no flag flew from the
mast that day.
"i have to be particular about
hoisting the flag exactly at sunrise
and hauling it down at sunset. One
evening I was unwell and my grand-
daughter pulled down the (lag. It
was two minutes before sunset, and
the King noticed the error. In
June. when we have the longest

the elock strikes 3.30. I don't Have
any alarm clock to wake me up."

MONKEY'S POST SENTINEL.
Fight Under Leader and Roll
Stone% Down on Enemies.
Aesop's ape, it will be remember-
ed, wept on passing through a hu-
man graveyard, overcome with sor-
row for its dead ancestors, and
that all monkeys are willing enough
to be more like us than they are
they show by their mimicry, says
the London Times.
An old authority tells that the
easiest way to capture apes is for
the hunter to pretend to shave him-
self, then to wash his face, fill the
basin with a sort of bird lime, and
leave it for the apes to blind them-
selves. If the Chinese story is to
be believed, the imitative craze is
even more fatal in another way, for
if you shoot one monkey of a band
with a poisoned arrow, its neigh-
bor, jealous of so unusual a decor-
ation, will snatch the arrow from
it and stab himself, only to have
it torn away by a third, until in
succession the whole troop have
committed suicide.
In their wild life baboons, as well
as the langurs and many other
monkeys, undoubtedly submit to
the authority of recognized leaders.
There is co-operation between them
to the extent that when fighting in
company one will go to the help of
another which is hard pressed.
In rocky ground they roll down
stones upon their enemies, and
when making a raid, as on an or-
chard which they believe to be
guarded, the attack is conducted
on an organized plan, sentries bo-
ing posted and scouts thrown out,
which gradually feel their way for-
ward to make sure that the coast
is clear, while the main body re-
mains in concealment behind until
told that the road is open.
From the fact that the sentries
stay posted throughout the raid,
getting for themselves no share of
the plunder, it has been assumed
that there must be some sort of di-
vision of tho proceeds afterward.
Man, again, has been differentiat-
ed from all other creatures as being
a tool using animal, but more than
on kind of monkey takes a stone
in its hand and with it breaks the
nuts which are too hard to be crack -
el with the teeth.
