THE MAINE,

Sundays engagement at Manila
will 60 down in history as one of the
great naval battles Of the world.
The result SO far as known demon
strates the fact hat the American
navles remembered the Maine on that
eVenttul day. The American fleet went
into action with their protected
cruisers the Baltimore, the Boston
II olympia and their gunboats, the
Petral, the Concord and the Raleigh.
Accounts of the fight from Spanish
sources admit the defeat of their fleet.
Advices from other sources state
that the entire Spanish feet has beer.
wiped off the face of the sea.
The news of the great victory Of
American arms will send a thrill of
pride %pulsating over the country.
America has been a peaceful and fore
bearing nation for many years and
1t has born many Sights and insults
from other nations.
The present war has reused the
latharglc but fighting blood of Amer
lea and now Uncle Sam in action
presents a picture for civilized natio ms
to gaze upon with admiration and
some no doubt have their admiration
mingled with a tinge of astonish-
ment.
The Spaniards find that butchervo Of
SICK soldiers and helpless women and
children is quiet a different sort Of
warfare than the facing of American
eight inch guns manned by Ameri-
can gunners.
The CASTELAR, pride has gone down
IN the brine at Manila and the wretch
ed people who have held their cruel
s~lave-dr,ver sway over defeuse1ess
dependencies for SO many years now
feel the heavy scourge of retribution
Piled with a relentless hand.
Spain can blow up sleeping sailors
IN the night but when they meet those
sailors awake in open daylight thew
go down before them like chaff before
the wind.

NO MORE COAL EXPLOSIONS.
One of the Horrors of the Miners Life
 Eliminated.

\ process has been invented by James Tongc of the Manchester Geological Society, which may rid the mining of coal of one of it's greatest dangers. By means of il coal can now he taken from the mines without blasting. The process k hydraulic and SD simple Tn operation that the great wonder is II has not been thought of before h. stead of being violently disrupted. IS with powder, huge pieces of coal are Wedgcd away from the parent body by means of q simple little pump worked hy hand. It has been tried In one of the English coal mines. and the result WAS SO satisfactory that preparations are being made to install the miue with the apparatus and discard explosives altogether. The whole apparatus weighs fifty pounds and consists of cartridge or cylinder of steel. K inches long and three inches i'll diameter, hand pump. pressure gauge and light adjustable stand. MT Tonges own description of how il k used Is graphic enough. He says:
 "'fhc coal k holed near the floor to the uSual depth. and d hole is drilled near the roof to about the same depth. Hs though making ready for the usual blasting. When this has been donr the cartridge k put in thc top hole and pushed 10 the back. The pump is coupled To the cartridge. the suction pipe is placed in q small bottle of water. and the work begins. Tn a few seconds the cartridge is charged with water. Then the pressure comes on and begins to show on the gauge. Half ton toni ton and q half-two tons per square inch. During this time cracking sound behind the cartridge has been telling that the pressure shown on the gauge has had the etfectof shearing off the coal at the back. the Sprags or holing props being kept ill their place in front The gradual way ill which the work k donc without shock or jar of any kind. prevents any damage to the roof of the Shaft in striking con. traSt to the action of explosives of any kind. The who'e operation of loosen- ing tons of coal requires less than twelve minutes from the time of plac ing the cartridge in the hole 10 the breaking down of the lump. InaSmueh aS the holes can he placed further apart than when blasting is done, Il much larger quantity of coal can be taken off at a time, and thus tie pro ductivcness of the mine can he increas- ed. and the advantage of being able to do without explosives cannot be oyerestimated when the saving of life is. tallen into consideration"

Such people treated on q high p:anc. are materially helped to stand on that plane. They are not slow to discern the respect that iS paid them. and they must be exceptionally bad If they nre not influenced by it. It is far better as T matter of policy, if for no higher reason. to treat others steadily from a standpoint which we have taken as the result of conviction, than to continually adjust ourselves to the Standpoints of others. Respect, consideration. frank. ness and true courtesy are rarely lost when they are infused into our social and business relations. In the exact degree in which we are governed by these qualities and express them do We make ourselves not only effective. but distinctly uplifting in our influence upon others.
