the failures were many. remarked that
cooking was much nicer than saving
boards or hammerIug nails. Cos you
can walk around and talk and taste

A United States report on Austria
as n grain-producing country says:
From statistics It. Ii evident that a
marked change has occurred during
the last few years as regards the grain
situation in stria-Hungary. Not
only In the case of wheat. but also In
thAt OF the various other cereals. the
tendency has been towards a larger
home consumption of the national pro-
duct and consequent reduction OF the
surplus available for shipment to 9TH
er lands. To such an extent have the
exports declined and the imports in
creased that most OF the cereals are
now brought into the country in lar
ger quantities than they are exported.
Barley is the only grain Of which any
considerable amount continues to be
shipped abroad. In respect to other
cereals, the status Of the Monarchy Is
apparently that OF transition from an
exporting into an importing country.
while it II hardly to be expected that
.these changed conditions win to any
considerable extent create an enlarged
dsmand for American cereals. the facts
- forth are certainly Of interest as
Indicating the lessened Importance OF
Ausfria- a-Hungary among the countries
vfth which the United States is oblig-
~ 1o compete in the grain mar1s Of

near there. was suddenly flooded with
water from nm underground river and
that thirty-five miners were drowned.
The men were Mt work in one OF the
lower levels OF the mine. There was
no suspicion that an underground rfv-
er existed anywhere within the vicin-
ity Of the mine, although that portion
of the level was exceedingly damp.
The rush Of water came without
warning. There. was a sharp crack
like an explosion. the wall Of coal and
slate gave way. and before the men
could seek safety on an upper level
the rush Of water followed and the
men were swallowed up almost before
they could drop their tools.
An expedition will he sent into the
mine as soon as possible to recover the
bodies.
