Thousands of southern girls who
never before attempted to earn a living
are every year drawn into the Gamer

established all over the south. These
enterprises have given tone of hope

broader intellectual life for southern

ago Battery.
Since tho startling discovery that
Joseph in Egypt was the original sin
gle taxer, excessive establishment need
not greet the revelation that the an
cient prophet Moses was the father OF
electricians. As King Solomon declarde,
there is nothing new under the sun.
The theory that electricity, which this
age prides itself upon as its own par
ticular glory, is as old as the ten COM
mandments, and was we'll known to
the Israelites,if not to the Phoenicians,
has been advanced by shrewd bibli-
cal student, c. b. Warrand. AS Piazzi
Smyth has sought to establish the won
derful astronomical genius of the old
Egyptians by thorough investigation
of the great pyramid, SO Mr.. Warrand
has brought modern science to bear
upon the ark OF the covenant and the
temple of the ancient Israelites.
When Moses built his box for the
commandment tables, he rejected the
common cedar and other native woods
and chose fir wood, which had to be
imported by the Phoenician merchants
from the southern part of Europe.
Now, fir happens to be the best-known
nonconductor among all the great
number OF various timbers. Further
more Moses had this fir box lined in
side and outside with clean beaten
gold, thus converting the ark of the
covenant into a very expensive, but
very perfect, Leyden jar, or storage
battery for electricity. Gold is one Of
the best conductors of electricity. ed
ison or Tesla" declares Mr.. Warrand,
could not have improved on Moses fir
and gold box" The carbon in the fir
of the ark of the covenant charged
the strange battery. Aaron improved
on this by the building of poles fifty
ellis (150 feeD high. These poles were
covered with beaten gold, and gold
chains were hung from the poles to the
ark-a method by which the prophet
secured complete and powerful cleo
trical connection. His sons were
killed, without wounds or bruises, by
fire breaking out OF the ark.
Investigator Warrand has asserted
that in order to deal death from the
apparatus Aaron had only to remove
the costly camel's hair carpets, which
were almost perfect non-conductors of
electricity, and make the culprit stand
on terra tirma, That several members
of revolving tribes of Israelites were
electrocuted is also a matter of record
in the bible. In building the temple
Solomon found that copper would do
as well as gold. He had the temple
covered with copper, and copper water
pipes led into the cisterns inside the
temple. On the temple, or rather on
its roof, number of gilt spears were
placed in vertical positions, from six
teen to twenty-four feet high. All
these curious facts may not be con-
vincing, but they certainly compel us
to wonder if, after all, some of the
laurels OF Franklin may not yet be
awarded to Moses.

HARD COAL.
It Was Practically Unknowl as Fuel
Until 1920.

49,
Until 1920.
The anthracite coal trade really had
no existence worthy of the name until
as late as 1920. Its actual beginning,
however, was in 1907 when one Abb
gail Smith ran an ark loaded with coal
to Columbia from Wilkesbarre, and he
continued to run several arks yearly
until 1926. In 1911 and 1912 some Of
this coal found its way to New York
by the way of Havre de Grace.
Until 1920 the entire shipment from
the Wyoming valley, the largest an
thracite coal basin in the world, in
any year never exceeded 1000 tons.
Then there was a great jump, and the
trade grew as by magic until now: In
1920. $500 tons; in 1860, 2,914,S17;
in 1870, 1878, 500; in 1880, 11,419, 270;
in 1890, 1S,650,694. In its present
magnificent proportions the mining Of
anthracite requires the services of 50,-
600 men and boys, and the number is
increasing every year.
One more fact in this romance Of
fact. That the man who discovered
anthracite coal was apublic benefactor
goes without saying; but who was hep
In 1891, remember the Pennsylvania
Legislature tried to appropriate $4,000
to build monument to Philip Ginter
of Carbon county as the discoverer.
His right to the title and honor being
disputed, sage legislator said: eve
ought to have a discoverer of coal and
might as well have him; so whether it
was Ginter or not it makes no differ
ence. We are willing to concede to
his claim"
The earliest users of anthracite in
Pennsylvania antedate Ginter twenty
three years. They were Obadiah and
Daniel Gore, blacksmiths from Con-
necticut, who lived near Wilkesbarre.
Jesse Fell was the first to burn it in q
CRATE as house fuel, and 1t was not un-
til 1885 that boatowner in New York
could be induced to try it for making
steam.

Early in 1890 Tom Jermyn, young
ster of %, left his home in New Jer-
sey and sought fortune in the far
West. As many before him had done,
he worked from place to place, Tor
getting the maxim that rolling stone
gathers no moss, and after having
tried half dozen states and terrific
ries he found himself, in the spring OF
1901. in Los Angeles friendless, home
less and all but penniless.
The situation was not pleasant
one. The "boom" of two or three
years before had left the town quiet,
and after a few weeks OF searching he
came to the conclusion that his only
chance to escape starvation or the
penite ntiary was to go into the min
ing districts. and therefore thither he
went.
With varying success he found his
way from one to another of the camps
along the Sierras, until one day he
struck new one, far up the country
toward Deaths valley, named Last
Ditch" and there fell into companion
ship and finally into partnership with
man almost twice his age by the
name of John Selden, Quick JIM"
as he was better known in all the
mining region.
The friendship was a strange one.
The boy, for he was but boy, was
not drnker nor thief, was willing
to do as he would be done by, and to
work. Selden on the contrary, was
n hard drinlSer, loved gaming and
cheating of any and every sort, had

last love was going to reform and
make n worthy man of him.

"A Wild Scramble for their Money
Caused by the Closing OF Those
Discretionary Pools.

Pittsburg, Oct. 22.--The news of the
closing up by the police of the Public
Stock and Produce Exchange discretion.
ary pool concerns on Saturday brought
crowds of investors from the country
into town to-day, showing how widespread
had been the operations of these concerns.
The Delaneys, who operated the Public
Stock and Produce Exchange, secured
their release on bail for hearing this
evening. At their Office this morning
they announced to their clients that as
their books were in the hands of the
police, they would be unable to pay out
any money or transact any business ex-
cept to receive notices of withdrawal of
depositors. All discretionary pools have
clause in their agreements by which
they can insist upon thirty days notice
of withdrawal.
The Consolidated Stock and Produce
company, another discretionary pool, did
not open its doors to-day. Hundreds
of investors who went to the office to
withdraw their deposits were confronted
with notice that the firm had temporarily
suspended Washington ssFrost, the man
ager, was not there, and warrants are out
for his arrest. Other pools are expected
to suspend at any moment and the excite
ment among the investors is high.
By the books of the Delaneys it is

were women, most of them domestic and

that section of the territory is making

tial class. During the time he was in
Roswell there were 1,lCO acres sold in the
vicinity for farming purposes, the
amount paid for the land aggregating
$4,000. Within few weeks Stark Bros,
nursery men, of Louisiana, Mo-, and
President Earle, of the horticultural So

that from information gained while in the
Pecos valley it seems certain that the
railroad will be Immediately completed
from Roswell north via White Oaks in
case the people of the territory indicate
by their votes next month that they favor
New Mexico's admission as state.
The people of the Pecos valley are
pushing forward to the front with great
strides and the future of this favored re-
gion looks indeed bright.

Topeka, Kas., Oct. 22.-The meeting of
Santa Fe directors in Topeka next Thurs
day has absolutely no significance what
ever, said Joseph G. Waters, formerly
general attorney for the Santa Fe com.
pany, to reporter to-day. "The reor-
ganization committees are supposed by
most people to represent the vast wealth
involved in the Santa Fe property, but
they do not. They are simply seeking
desperately to get the people who hold
the stock to comply with one more assess
ment before the end for the purpose of
keeping up the formal but expensive or
ganization. Judge Caldwell has said
that the Santa Fe property must either

or prove itself capable of running with
out a receiver. The latter is impossible.
The road will he foreclosed within year
and the mortgages assume the manage
