' SOURCE OF OUR COAL Straight Information from it High - Authority. , A TRIP INTO TIE NINE SHAFT Soma of tho Danfci* that Bout (he Minora Who pig Out tho Fuel? Supply Sufficient for Gonorationo to Com*. v "What will I have to pay fori coal this winter?" "With dealers urging householders *? K?... .nol ftoplif riimnrs of sour iv wuj vva? vtftiiji ui.v* ? Ing prices, this question is on millions of tongues." says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society. ' " "As a by-product of this interest it might be well to ask where \ do we get our coal. and how%?'" The bulletin answers this question by quoting from a communication, by William Joseph Showalter as follows: "We will first visit the anthracite 'fields, that wonderful region \n Pennsylvania. which lies to the north or Reading, to the south of Carbpndale, east of the Susquehanna and west of / the Lehelgh rivers. Scranton and Wilkes-Barre are the center of the upper field, Hazleton of the middle field, And Pottsvllle of the lower. "Were all of the coal1 beds in this remarkable region laid out in a compact body, they would cover as area only twenty-two miles square. Yet out of such a small area have come billions 6f tons of coal and culm, the former to cheer a million firesides, and the latter to dot every landscape, and to serve as monuments to remind us of the patient toil of hundreds of thousands of men through scores of years. -'"""A visit to a modern, colliery 4s an impressive experience. Depending on its site and-the labor available, it will bring from one to two full train-loads of coal up out of the bowels fof the earth every day, put the coal through the breaker, where the sheep of fuel are separated from the goats of slate and culm, and load it into tne oars ready for market. "The giant fans fly around with a rim speed of a mile a minute, two of them, with a third "in reserve for emergencies. If it were not for^those fans the air in the mine would becoms so laden with gas and dust that if it dhl not explode and transform the whole mine into a charnel-house, it would develop choke-damp and suffocate us. These fans are to the mine what the involuntary muscies 01 inc chest are to the lungs?they make it breathe. "Every mine has two shafts?tn? hoisting shaft and the air shaft In order to keep the air in the mine free enough from gas to permit miners to work in safety, enormous quantities of fresh air must be sent down the one 1 shaft jyjd,,, corresponding quantities, gas laden, drawn out of- the other. "Before going down into- the mine the superintendent will give us each a 4 miner's lamp?at this particular mine ' the lamp is a tiny teapot' affair containing sperm oil and with a spout full of cotton yarn. Also, he will equip us with electric handlamps, to be used in any emergency'. Then he will stick an hull of vam in his Docket and we otart for the 'cage,' which is the mine name for an elevator. "We step on, ho presses a button, and the hoisting engineer is notified that we are ready to go down. Suddenly the'cage seems to drop; then it , seems to stop, and the walls of the shaft appear fairly to fly upward past us. Up, up,- up they fly, disclosing this stratum of rock and then that. "Arriving at the botton. we soon find # that a coal mine is planned like a city. There is one main street, or entry, and it has been laid out with the nicety of a grand boulevard. Parallel with this are other entries, and across these entries run other streets, at right " angles, usually, which are called head * ?- 1 * * ' v. 11 ^ OB ings. iiininK ail uirac jieauiuss aa houses line the streets are the chambers, or rooms, in which the miners work. "In the anthracite region mining Is still done principally by hand< Some jack-hammer drills have been Introduced and sopie elccrtlc coal-cutting machines: but'hand methods still produce* and sonic electric coal-cutting jack-hammer drill is an instrument which bores the blast-holes by power. With one of these drills a miner is enabled to bore as many holes in one hour as he can bore in eighteen with a hand-drill. "When we reach the top again, we note the layout of the breaker plant, where the coal is cleaned and sorted into the several commercial sizes. "Going up to the top of the breaker, we see the coal as it comes from the mine, with all its slate and culm, mechanically dumped , a carload at time, upon the oscillating bars, which begin the process of separating the coal from the worthless material and the assorting of the former into groups according to size. "There are eight different sizes, of coal now in general use?broken, egg, stone and chestnut, which are the domestic sizes, and pea, buckwheat. rice, and barley, which arc steaming coais. x ney range irom iuui inches in diameter for broken to onesixteenth of an inch for barley. There are dry breakers and wet ones, but this has no reference to the presence or absence of prohibition. Dry breakers are those where the coal comes from the mine fairly clean and goes through the breaker without being watered, either for the suppression of dust or for the washing of the coal. "Also, there are breakers which separate the slate and culm from the coal by jigs rather than by centrifugal pickers. In these the coal as it comes from the mine is 'Jigged' up and down in water. The coal settles more slowly than the slate and culm and can therefore be skimmed off like cream from milk." , THE ROAD tO SUCCESS. It will do you no good to work like a ' , hbrse; You will find there Is not a thing in it. The man who employes you expects it, of course. i But don't let him bluff you a minute. Don't be iikfc some others who hustle nil day; They're plugs. Why their work is cheosy. You'll find that the guy who fends thero to stay Is the guy who takes every thing easy. This wisdom I learned from an earnest remarl: , 1 Of a bum who sat on a bench In the park. The man who hps charge of a Job doesn't know One-half of the things you've forgotten. Get back at him snappy and say. "Is that so?" If he says that your work's getting rotten; ? , Just tell him your motto Is, always to ; keep : TVia Qtinap anH illrh men. in thnir places. Some day you will be at the top of the heap, ( ' v And can spend all your time in nice places. This method of saining success must be rightIt was told by a man lp the bread line lest night. Whenever you think you have earned your day's, pay Drop your job like a kid would a this-, tie. Tou can surely think of some nice,. 1 easy way To ld?T tilt you hear the old whistle, rhe men who own houses, out on Millionaire Row, With horses, and autos, and flowers. , And that kind of junk, never got all < their dopgh By staying at work after hours, rhls way of advancement I'm sure will , not fail? i It was handed to me by a fellow in Jail.?Geo- R.

Governor Cooper returned by Washington, where he as a member of i committee of governors had ccnferjnces with President Wilson and' Attorney General Palmer relative 16 ftatc assistance In the nation's war on profiteers. The plan as outlined by Mr. Cooper is to name a fair price commission in each statd, who in turn tvill designate fair price committees in ?ach Community. Should the comnittees be unable to determine a scale fair prices, the attorney genjral's oflice 'will have authority to name an equitable figure.

Blame it on Wilaon.?The first shot in the riot which took place at the car barns of the Southern Public Utilities Company on the night of August 25 arid in which five men were killed and , r. score or more injured, was fired not by Chief Orr but by a member of a mob of more than 100 men who were pressing behind John Wilson, the latter having angrily approached the chief to :.sk him who struck his brother, Clem Wilson, earlier in the night. This fact was brought out at a hearing in city court last week in which John. Wilson was charged with inciting to riot and bound over to superior court under bond of <2,000. Testimony of officers was that John Wilson led a crowd of several hundred toward Chief Orr yelling "get that? little, smart chief, and let's lynch 'em," when the unidentified man fired hir. pistol the jostling of the crowd throwing the shot wild. Chief Orr raised his hands to protect his face and his gun was discharged into the air, after which an orgy of firing developed, it was testified. Finest of all Motors.?The air turbine of I. T.

When the earth was nearest to Jupiter, the eclipse appeared about/ oight and onehalf minutes too soon for the calculations, and when the earth was most remote from Jupiter they were about eight and one-half minutes too late. Roemer concluded \he reason to he that it' required 17 tadnutes for light from the planet to traverse the diameter of the earth's orbit, whidh meapured the difference of the distances of the earth from Jupiter. This calculation has since been verified, and proves that light travels about 186,000 miles a second.
