Miner a I T IS a fact that from the earliest times mines were supposed to have been guarded from Intrusion by ser pents and demons. It is thought that goblins are jealous of man’s ability to find the hidden treasure in mines and they diffuse malevolent and poisonous influences to blast the lives and limbs of (hose, that dare to attempt the dis covery. It is believed that there are six kinds of demons, “the fifth sort of which are subterranean, living In cav erns and hollows of the earth, often killing and hurting well diggers and miners , for metals, causing * earth quakes and eruptions of flames, and strong winds.’’ The existence of spir its .in a metallic form would tormen^ the workers in German mines and in* some countries, by causing blindness.

McNESS COMPANY, Dept.; P, Freeport, Illinois. J Fruit, nut, and other quick loaf breads are made from a mixture like that for muffins only slightly thicker in some cases. If the bat ter is comparatively thin, the fruit or nuts should be floured before being added. The temperature of the oven should be low enough for the bread to bake through without making the crust too hard or brown. For a small loaf a tem perature of about 375 degrees Fah renheit, is about right; for a large loaf it should be lower. Test with a straw or toothpick.

Thirteen miners were found dead together from su lx causes. The belief was prevalent among miners of a species called “knockers.” Tlu*y were heard underground in or nr: r the mines. And by their knock- in?: pointed out to the workmen a rich vein of ore. , There is an imp called “Gothon” which causes the miners a great deal of trouble, deluding them with false lights, noises and flames. Another is the appearance of a demon in the form of a “black dog.” The demon feared most by tin- miners i9 the Knauff-kriegen. The miners a,re often knocked down b> devils wh^ch they call Knauff-kriegen After suck falls the miners often die in the space of three and four days. ((& 1928] Western Newspaper Union.)

January 1932. 1XI Fewer Fur Animals THINGS WORTH KNOWING Farmers and trappers are trap ping fewer fur animals each year, says the Bureau of Biological Sur vey. Some of the causes of this are: Overtrapping for many years in reduced breeding areas, low prices for raw furs in the last few years, and the drought of 1930, which reduced the number of fur animals. The floods of 1927 also destroyed many fur animals In the Mississippi Basin and New England. The numbers of foxes, martens, minks, fishers, and beavers reach.- ing the market are decreasing, says the bureau, but there are still many skunks, opossums, raccoons, and muskrats. The muskrat, which breeds often and raises large fam ilies, is one of the biggest fur pro ducers.
