MEETS WITH APPROVAL.

ton Of q higher rate Of duty upon coal
imported from foreign countries. has
met with a very general approval from
tbs press Of the Territory. l. could
not be otherwise. No other part Of the
United States is so injured by the pres
ont low tariff Is this Territory; and if
our people do not take the initistive in
securing the desired change. We cannot
expect it TO be taken at ell. A dollar
aud half or two dollars ton 10 suf-
ficisstly iow rate Of duty for coal.
Thors il no necessity OF good in it, i'm
portstion. We have in our own country
Goals ~ good tor gas. steam. domestic
and iron working purposes a. any in the
world. and they should be encouraged
ct the expense of the foreign article.
Double the duty, and at once the pro-
duction of our mines will be doubled.
Coos Bay and Puget Sound would have
twice the coal shipping they now have.
and, better still, every vessel in the
trade would be American built. owned
and manned. Keep dinging away al
this, neighbors. until we have succeeded
10 accomplishing what we are after.

Increase in Lunacy.

DIR. Lush, the president Of the British
Medico Psychological Association, in
the course of an address delivered to the
members, drew attention to marked
increase of late years in lunacy. In the
first report of the commissioners on
lunacy they state that in June, 1916,
there were In England and Wales %, 900
persons of unsound mind. The pOpula=
ton was then about 1000, 600, now it is
25, ,000, 900, and it is estimated that on the
first of January, 1879, there were 20, ,623
persons in England and w ales who need
ed the protection Of the lunacy laws. 1t
appears, therefore, that while the popu-
lation has increased at the rate of forty
five per cent, the number of lunatics in
detention has risen at the rate of $50 per
cent. Assuming that another thirty
three years will yield similar results,
accommodation will have to be provi led
in 1912 for nearly a quarter Of million
of insane or imbecile persons in England
and Wales. The true solution OF the
difficulty, he thought, is to be sought
lst In increased family responsibility.
3D. In educating the popular belief in
the gravity of the disease itself. Sd. In
further State interference if possible.
4th. In increased efforts to make the lot
of insane persons under detention as lit
tie irksome as is consistent with safety
and the conditions of their malady. Be-
yond these he feared not much can be
done or hoped for; less ought not to be
required; and if, instead. callous in
difference continues to prevail as to the
extent OF insanity, grave and calamitous
results, to be discovered only when too
late to be repaired must follow a neglect
of the accepted teachings of medical
science and experience

A Glass Mountain.

Another marvel recently brought to
light in the Yellowstone Park of North
America is nothing less than mountain
of obsidian OF volcanic glass. Near the
foot of Beaver Lake, band of explorers
came upon this remarkable mountain,
which rises ut that place in columnar
cliffs and rounded bosses to many hun
dreds Of feet in altitude, from kissing hot
springs at the margin of the lake. AS it
was desirable to pass that way, the
party had to cut out road through the
steep CLASSY barricade. This they
effected by making huge fires on the
glass to thoroughly heat and expand it..
and then dashing the cold water Of the
lake against the heated surface, so as to
suddenly cool and break it up by shrink
age. Large fragments were III this way
detached from the solid side of the
mountain, then broken up small by
sledge hammers and picks, not. how
ever. without severe lacerations of the
hands and faces of the men from flying
splinters. In the Grand Cemon of the
Gibbon river the explorers also found
precipices of yellow, black and banded
obsidian hundreds of feet high. The
natural glass of these localities has from
time immemorial been used by the In
dians to tip their spears and arrows.
