After hearing Lee Mt Pottsyille, the con-

They concurrcd IA the opinion that the
miners struck because the Reading Coal
Company refused II continue the .

road men hal nothing 20 do with the
miners strike. Two Of the witnesses
said they bad been strikers end had
returned to work Monday under Master

dent Corbin. but had been discharged.
This they hcldto be- a breach OF COrbin S

Opium Cultivation in Persia,

Opium occupies the first place in the
foreign trade of Persia. Papaver somni-
forum, or white poppy, of which opium is
the inspissated juice, Is grown principally
in and about Ispahan, Yezd and Shiraz,
that Of Ispahan being superior both in
quality and quantity The preparation of
the land begins about Sept. 8, and consists
in blowing, narrowing, fertilizing abund-
antly with ashes and detritus, and laying
off into squares to facilitate irrigation
After sowing, the fields are irrigated three
times, at intervals Of fifteen days. After
that there is only one more irrigation
about the middle Of the winter. In the
spring irrigation takes place on March co.
after which the land is repeatedly har-
rowed and hoed in order to extirpate all
parasitic weeds. The plants are thinned
and then watered every ten days until
Towering begins, when all work must
cease.
When the heads have formed and have
fully ripened last flooding is given
Then six slight incisiAns are made at
about the junction Of the stem with the
head. This should be done at noon. The
juice that exudes is collected the next
morning and the morning following at
daybreak. When these first missions
have ceased discharging, others are made
lower down, and the operation may be
thus thrice repeated, the opium obtained
after each successive incision being pro-
portionately inferior IN quality. Next,
the plants themselves are cut down and
the heads sold, the natives using the seed
on bread as a substitute for butter. The
end Of May is the season for harvesting

Cause OF Color Blindness.

vances the idea that the particular defect
which gives rise to color blindness lies
not in the eye itself, but in the brain
Certain persons cannot distinguish be-.

hear both. the defect is not deafness, or
any fault Of hearing. Professor Ramsay
the advocate Of the idea. therefore argues
that in people who have no musical ear, "
the brain is at fault and assumes that it
may be equally true that the inability to
perceive certain colors IS not due to any
defect Of sight. but to the mental lack 81
