SCRANTON is in danger from within
and from without. The population is in
turmult which threatens the existence
OF law and order, and there is danger
that the city itself will soon be engulfed.
Ii appears that in mining for coal, shafts
and tunnels have been run all about
under the town. The mines are now
flooding, owing to the perverse conduct
of the strikers, and as the water rises the
gas is forced back The Mayor of the
city says that if this continues long the
pressure of the water will become SO great
that the gas will break up the thin sur
face, and blow all Scranton to pieces
This would be more hasty, if not a
more complete, finish than the one pre-
dIcted now for some years-that the
miners will work up 50 near the top that
the weight of the houses will break in
the she'll, and the city be distributed
through the mines. Within the last
wear or two several houses have fallen into
the mine pit.

EtYmologY of Strikes.
From the Irish-American.

The origin of the word strike" as APP
Piled IN combinations of laboring men
organized for the purpose either of pre-
venting reduction or of securing an
advance in their wages, began on the
Thames docks. 1t had long been used on
the docks in the sense in which "knock-
ing off" is used by workingmen in this
country. The dock laborers were said to
strike work when they went to their
meals. 1t had another and peculiar sig
MITIGATION, too-the foreman asking,
+" Who struck these cases." when he
wished to learn what particular men had
received and lowered to the wharf from
the carts any particular package of goods.
It's use in this latter sense seems to have
been derived from the maritime phrases
or " striking saiP' and striking the
flag"

General Ducrot, approving policy of

siders deplorable and serious that he
should stimulate a breakup of the min

OHIo's coal field, says an eminent
geologist, is district 100 miles square,
including the counties of Athens, Perry
and Hooking. In fifty years it will prob
ably equal Stahordshire or any district
in the world. The district has twenty
two feet of sold coal in five seams. The
great vein is in places twelve feet thick,
and nowhere less than six feet. Mingled
among the coal beds are inexhaustiple
beds OF iron. The thickest is five feet
deep at the out-crop; the thinnest, in
places, sink to six inches. But the
thickness ofneither seam is quite persist
ent; there are waves from time to
time, which narrow the seam. The coal,
ON the contrary, may be said to run from
Hill to hill with perfect uniformity.
Limestone is also present in any desired
quantity.

HARD times have been known in this
country before this. A Pittsburg Jic1'-
cug, of August l, 1920, states that an
unprecedented state OF embarrassment
prevailed throughout the country, in
every branch of business; nine-tenths of
the people were in debt, and while sher-
ifs and constables' sales were advertised
for nearly everybody, it was seldom that
real sale was effected, and then at a
price ridiculously below actual value.
Grain was sold at from s to II cents a
bushel, good sheep at 80 cents each, and
other things in proportion.

A LAW of California, enacted last year,

act, the fear that it might be has dimin-
