Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a purely vegetable sugar coated medicinal preparation, carefully compounded by experts, and are manu factured on the premises under the direct supervision of the proprietors.

COAL IN CHINA,
WEALTH OF THE FUSHUN FIELD.
[FROM THE TIMES
CORRESPONDENT.}
For the past six years the Chinese nation has been very much awake, and the revolution is but the beginning of a new era. The Chinese have given earnest of talents and powers for which few would, ten years ago, have hardly given them any credit. Previous to the great revolution there had been a force at work uniting and consolidating the widely distinct peoples. Western nations have not really, as yet, understood the Chinese people, and cuming in close contact only with, one might say, semi-Chinese of the South, whilst the much finer, physically, real Chinese in the North were less known. In any case the potential wealth of China is so enormous and her people are so industrious that now with better education and a new Government, up-to- date ideas are permeating her ranks. ahe must become a most iniportant factor in the economy of the world.
As a business aign, a mechanic or labourer, the Chinese can quickly learn and soon hold his own with the best. Millions of lads and young men in China, as in Japan, thanks to the new systems of education and physical exercises, are developing into a fine specimens of the human race as one can uret, and these will soon open up and develop the well-known mineral wealth and other resources of their highly- favoured land. Especially abundant are the supplies of all kinds of coal and anthracite. The Far East must very soon have anel quantities of coal as will swamp the European and American markets that are in any way open to competition. Considering their respec-. tive needs and the cost of living, the modern miners are by no means unjustly treated, and they will improve more and more as their markets increase
CONDITIONS, OUTPËT, AND PROFIT. Not only is labour good, reliable, and abundant, hut to the natural advantages of coal and iron being found close together and near to either convenient seaports or to the great inland water. ways, should be added the zest with which electricity and labour-saving devices are being introduced. I could write much on the coal mines near Hankow or the even richer ones in Chihli Province near Tientsin--or the great anthracite beds in Honan, or tho, fine steam coal of Anhui but will merely give a brief descrip- tion of the now famous coal mines which are worked by the South Manchuria Railway Company near Fushun in Man- churia.
This coalfield seems to have been known. and worked with quite scientific means, ugrs ago, by some prehistoric and non- Mongolian race, and then when this region come into Chinese possession, owing to superstitious foars, it was not touched until the Russians, for a con- siderable sum, obtained a concession, which, later, reverted with the railway to Japan.. Here we have, lying from 800ft. to 1,000ft. below the surface, an almost solid bed of splendid coal varying from 120ft. to 175ft. in thickness, which is known to thus extend, with but a few trivial faults or partings, for ten square miles. The workings below are like huge railway tunnels, or great avenues, with branches in all directions brilliantly illuminated with electric light and electric trolly lines quietly and swiftly bringing the tabs to the shafts, of which there are five pairs. The air below is fresh and conf, as the ventilation is almost perfect. Fire damp is unknown and yet all the miners wear Clanny and Davy safety lamps. Most of the pump. ing and other machinery is, I am glad to say, of British make. Water gives no trouble, and is always kept well in hand..
Last year the output was about 5,000 to 6,000 tons per day of good coal, which was all quickly sorted and eifted by machinery and divided into different grades within a very few minutes after reaching the surface. Heavy American locomotives haul trucks, each with a capacity of 50 tons, away to the local markets or for export. It is estimated. that at 5.000 tons per day this one bed of coal alone will take 500 years before it is worked out. There are other sams below, not so thick or. of the same quality, but these are not, as yet, worked.
The following is an analysis of the coal, which is practically of rope even quality throughout:-Water, 7 per cent.; volatile matter, 40 per cent xed carbon, 48 per cent.; ash, 4 per cont. sulphur only 8 per cautapecifie gravity 1.28; culorific power, 0.90
The minera and helpers, all Chinese, are well paid, as wages go in China, and well cared for, and seem to be contented and hepps. The foremen, general super- intendents, and clerical staff ara all well educated and highly-paid Japanese.
It is said that the company assesses the cost of coal, unscreamed, at the pit mouth at about 3s. to 45. per toù. The freight to Dairen (Dalny) or Newehwang is not heavy, hence it can place this good gas and steam fuel on board ship at a very low rate.
In Manchuria alone there are great varieties of coal and anthracite awaiting to be exploited, and quite near the Fushun mines is a peculiar kind of almost pure anthracite which resembles. coke, having been baked under enormous pressure and then steamed. This is found in an old volcanic region where the strata are broken, but the seams are difficult to work. It is amokeless and, under a strong draught, has enormous kenting powers....
In Korea, quite near a seaport, are rich beds of very hard, bright, and almost smokeless coal. In the island of Saghalien, especially the section ceded to Japan, are coal and oil fields, and the whole central regions of China north and south of the Yangtze River are known to have abundance of coal sound
