Many miners are pntombed and all

been abandoned. An investigation of
the list of employees reveals the fact
that one hundred and thirty men lost

not Killed by the explosion mist have
been suiibcated. The mine is being
cleared of the wreckage as rapidly as
possible but the work is necessarily

NO BLANKS IN This COMPETITION,

This is competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the sue essful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Compapy's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for dom il. The prize Is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something OF very little use 10
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-One that will command Its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article In his
daily work ought to know bet er how to I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be TOO simple TO be worth patenttng.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and popu'
larity, will get the Press Claims Company 6
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its took is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

DAUGHTERS OF ISRAEL
Are Confirmed In the Faith of Their
DISTINGUISHED Ancestor,

Pressure on the LIGHTS space yester-
day prevented due notice of the celebra-
ton of the day of Penticost which oc-
Cured in the Temple Beth Ell on Sunday.
On this occasion the young children of
Israel are confirmed in their faith and it
is an important day in the Jewish calen-
dar.
The Temple was beautifully decorated
with flowers and seemed a veritable gar
den of Eden. The choir was augmented
and the service grand. Every available
space was occupied and indeed the build
ing was far too crowded for comfort.
There were only two candidates for
confirmation, and these young ladies. One
was Miss Dora Schatskey, the other was
Miss BERTHE Goodman. Both were pretti-
ly attired. The president of the congreg-
alton, Mr.. S. Half, led the young ladies
down the aisle to the altar, where the
impressive ceremony was performed and
appropriate music. After this the Rev.
Elkins delivered an appropriate address
to the children that was much commend
ed and the interesting service came to an
end

NOT SO HARD ASH SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be a natural genius, like Edi-
son or Bel: that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie. simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inveB-
lions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to childs ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewng-ma-
chine is a miracle of ingenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end
