New York, Sept. 25.—The two qualities of coal known as pea and buckwheat, which are now used for steam generating purposes, \inped up $1 a |;on yesterday. Pea coal now costs the consumer 94 .50 and buckwheat $4. Arising out of this advance threats of lawsuits against dealers are already' being heard. For some time a large number of dealers under stress of competition have consented to omit in contracts which they have made with manufacturers and large office buildings the clause which permits them to break the agreement in case of strikes. But despite the absence of this clause none of the dealers would supply coal under thai*; contract except at the increased price of n a ton. The consumers have no alternative except to submit or go without coal, but many of them declared that they would appeal to the courts to compel the coal men to live up to their contracts and to refund the money paid beyond the amount, called for in the agreement. The retailers profess to stau«j in no fear of these actions. "Usage of the trade," they asserted, would protect them. As a standard price domestic coal remained unchanged at |6.75 for white ash and $7.25 for red ash. These quotations have prevafled since last Friday, and the reason the dealers are not following up the practice which fhey adhered to during the previous ten days of making advances every 24 hours is that orders have not been pouring in upon them with the rapidity that they anticipated.

Farrlngton, curator of the Field Columbian museum at Jackson Park, Chicago, has Just completed experiments with rock formations peculiar to the famous caves of Indiana, as a result of which he says he believes that animal life has existed on this planet for at least 10,000,000 years and prolmbly for double that length of time. These conclusions were reached by estimating the period required for the growth of the stalactites in the caves mentioned.
