CUNNING OF THE FOx.-No
other still hunter can travel so quiz
etly as fox, aad mighty few men
are as crafty as the four-legged
hunter when it comes TO the matter
Of getting meat. Foxes have been
seen in England, slipping from
bush to bush, crawling and creep
ing after sleeping hare, for all the
world like q man stalking deer.
The fox cannot catch q rabbit in
fair chase, but its food is mostly
rabbits in spite Of their fleetness.
But at no time does il display its
skill so well as when running for
life with q pack Of hounds on its
trail.
Lord Willoughby de Broke writes
to the Badminton Magazine to tell
how tired fox made straight for q
flock Of sheep in q pen, ran through
them, and in the end, escaped.
Olaus Magnus, Archbishop Of Up
sala, wrote q book called 'Historia
do Gentlbns Septentrionalibus.' Of
which an English translation exists.
This book tells of q fox that leap
ed from back to back of herd of
goats. AS the dogs could not fol-
low the fox escaped.
A curious trick of English foxes
is to jump as high as possible,
grasping q tree branch with their
teeth, hold on till the hounds have
gone on, and then, dropping to the
ground, escape. This 10 similar to
the trick of the American fox,
which jumps into tree and rests
on branch but American dogs
are not such fools as English dogs.
They gather around the tree aud
howl till the hunter comes.

Cornell Wins Great Inter- Collegiate Eight
Dared Contest.
Poughkeepsie, n. u, June 27.-Eight-
cen thousand people grouped upon the
picturesque banks of the Hudson with
the last rays of the setting sun cast
ing q golden sheen upon the water
saw the stalwart eight from Ithaca
win first honors over Harvard, Penn
sylvania and Columbia. 1t was great
race. Probably no prettier has been
rowed before greater crowd in Amer
lean waters. All conditions Of air and
water were perfect. Not a flaw narred
the contest from the crack of the
starters pistol to the crossing of the
finish line. Cornell won by four
lengths in 1929 official time. This
beats Yale's record of 20: 10 made at
New London, Conn., Pennsylvania
third and Columbia poor fourth. As
a spectacular scene the race was one
long to be remembered. The course,
q ,four.mile stretch straight as the
crow flies, lay near the west bank Of
the Hudson and was spanned by the
great cantilever bridge, the finish be-
ing one mile below that structure and
the start three miles above.

TRADE REVIEW.

Eject of the St. Louis Gold Plank ~
Viewed by Dun and Bradstreet.
New York, June 27.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
1.-THE monetary outlook. Is not yet clear
TO some The strength shown In recent con.
ventions by advocates Of silver coinage and
expectation that all the elements favorin8
that policy may yet be concentrated, in:
cline them to a waiting attitude. Theft
uncertainty retards Improvement. notwith-
standing the more widely prevalent feel
ing that the monetary action Of the st.
Louis convention will be sustained by the
people. But many mills have waited al
long as they can with safety. and sigma
lures have been given by enough cotton
mills Of Fall River to insure a temporary
stoppage, it is said. the nature Of which
is now under discussion in conference with
the Providence manufacturers. Mean
while the Pacific, Of Lawrence, and the
Naamkeag, of Salem, have closed for a
time, and practically oil the southern cot
on Monday with the same object. Wooden
mills ore active without concert. but II
arc mentioned in dispatches as having
closed this week. There is no similar move
ment in other industries. though the period
Of summer closing is at hand in many OF
wages Of iron puddlers and other hands
make 1t likely that the annual stoppage
In that industry may last longer than
usual.
'"The weakness Of wheat, which has de-
clined 2.10 cents. and Of cotton, which Ia
an eighth lower for spots. though less for
futures, have full explanation in decidedly
good crop prospects, 1t may be doubted
whether the boot and shoe industry has
ever been. in better shape on the whole.
though manufacturers complain that IN
advance in price 10 necessary. which deal.
ers are very reluctant to pay.
1.-THE great combinations. which tho Iron
Age wisely reasons, tend to cause disas.
trously low prices hereafter. still control
the markets both for material and finished
products Of iron and steel. though It ID
reported that lower prices Will soon be
made for coke. owing to better utilization

ity that some are imprisoned in tbs
drift between two cave-ins. In that
case they are confined in small and
almost air-tight space, SO that even the
powerful fans cannot supply air enough
to sustain life until the searchers can
cut through the walls of debris. 1t 1t
prove that the men are dead 63 women
will be left widows and 200 children
be fatherless. This is the most terrible
mine accident which has occurred in
the anthracite region since the great
disaster at Avondale, this county. In
1860. in which 120 lives were lost.
1t appears that several days ago the
officials discovered that the rock be-
tween the fifth and sixth veins had
commenced working" and to prevent
a continuation of this all day Saturday
and Saturday night the full compile
ment of day men and such others as
could be pressed into service from of
the streets were set at work pillafing
and propping the sixth vein SO as to in
sure the safety of the workmen who
were to 90 to work to-day. Orders
went forth that about midnight Satur'
day that as many men as possible
should be sent down to assist in this
dangerous work, as constant cracking
and splintering of the roof gave indica-
ion that the possibilities of danger were
most strongly founded. In accordance
with this order between twelve and one
o'clock Saturday morning about 30 ad.
ditional workmen left their homes and
loved ones and journeyed to what now
seems their end.
The men worked hard and faithfully
until a little after three o'clock, when,
probably without warning, the roof on
the 1,oO0-foot slope where the men were
ut work fell in. The conclusion was
so great that it was felt for distance
of four miles. The foundations OF
nearly every house in Pittston were
shaken, and the citizens first thought
a violent earthquake had taken place.
