Pumice Stone in America.

Heretofore our supply of pumice
stone has come almost exclusively from
Italy. Now an American product is
forcing its way into the market. This
material has been found of excellent
quality in Western Nebraska, and in a
pulverized form. There are seven diff
ferent deposits, these comprising in all
about 400 acres. According to a report
made by Prof. R. g. Salisbury Of the
University of Chicago, there are ap-
proximately 100000 tons in sight. The
deposits, with adjoining lands, have
been acquired by the Chicago Pumice
Company. They, however, desired also
lump pumice stone. After mucfs
search such deposit was found in
Utah, 245 miles south of Salt Lake City.
This property comprises 120 acres, and
it is virtually an entire mountain OF the
material of all degrees of purity.-Man-,

Of many recent suicides perhaps the
most touching was that of Benjamin
Simon Of New York. 1t was remark
able for three reasons. In the first
place, he belonged to a race the mem
bers Of which very rarely take their
own lives. In the second place, he was
only IA years Of age, and, lastly, he
snuffed out his life because he wished
to become a labor agitator and thought
his failure to pass an examination for
college had disqualified him for carry
ing out that wish From any point of
view this suicide was remarkable. He
overcame race prejudices against self
destruction and at the age of IA he had
well-defined ideas of becoming a ''liber-
atOr." Perhaps the most noticeable thing
in connection with the event was the
boys conviction that an education was
necessary to qualify him to become a
labor agitator. He must have been i'm
pressed with the fact that what the
laboring men or, at least, their leaders
most needed was education, for he
strove constantly to acquire knowl-
edge. He tried to enter the College of
the City of New York, but failed to pass
the examination owing to deficiency
in drawing. This failure preyed upon
his spirit and the poor, little brain, al
ready affected by overstudy and too
much thought, gave way. The letter of
farewell written to his parents is as
pathetic as ever communication writ
ten under those circumstances was. He
wrote it in the EAST Broadway library,
and in explaining his act he says that
the greatest regret he had was that he
had not held to his resolution to agi-
tate among the working classes for
their emancipation from wage slavery
by the overthrow of the capitalistic
system and for the establishment Of the
cooperative commonwealth advocated
by the socialist labor party" Poor lit
tie Chatterton of labor! Who can tell
what he might not have accomplished

After delay Of about five years the
beacon set as a memorial to the late
Lord Tennyson has been dedicated. For
some reason, hard to explain, there has
been little enthusiasm anywhere con-
cerning this memorial and the dedica-
ton was accomplished with the SIM
plest of ceremonies and was ATTENDED
by few people Of any note. Although
the dedication took place within five
miles of Windsor castle, not one of the
royal family came or sent representa-
tives. Neither did the Queen send the
slightest word to the managers of the
affair. The present laureate too was
absent, although that was not to be
wondered at. It would be trite to say
that the verse of Tennyson was en-
shrined in the hearts Of the English
people and that it needed no memorial
ito celebrate it. The truth is that the
memory of Tennyson has been singu-
larly neglected by the English people
and the absence of representative liter
airy men upon this occasion is ineXcus

This fall each ton Of anthracite coal
will cost every manufacturer, every
merchant, every family $1.50 more than
it cost last fall. That is, the price of
anthracite coal has advanced in the
past year little more than 46 per cent.
Why? Because the mines are becom-
ing exhausted? Because the wages of
miners and employees Of coal railways
have risen? Because the cost of pro-
duction has increased? Because last
years price was below the price at
which dealing in coal is profitable? Not
at all. The sole reason is that several
men who had control over the neces-
sary mines and railways organized a
trust '.to decrease the output and to
raise the price" OF course there are
laws both Federal and State against
it. Of course there are certain instincts
Of humanity against it. But the coal
trust cares nothing for such trifies as
law and humanity.

cats afflicted with hydrophobia. These
wounds are considered by the medical
officers in attendance to present a
greater degree Of danger than the bites
of mad dogs, not because there is any
difference in the virus, but because, in
the first place, the teeth of cats, being
more pointed than those of dogs, infiict
a deeper wound, and also because q
mad dog usually fastens his fangs into
the arm, the hand or the leg, while a
cat invariably jumps for the face OF
the person it attacks. The nerve CEN
ters are far more exposed in the face
than in either the arms or legs, and
hence the virus enters into the circu-
lation more rapidly by means of a bite
in the face than through one elsewhere
ia the body. 1t may be added that the
returns of the Pasteur institute for the
last year show that 1 per cent of the
patients who have submitted them
selves to treatment have been bitten by
mad cows.
