Queer Workings Of a Statute

A foreign resident in Cairo has lately
found himself in a rather peculiar and de.
cidedly unpleasant predicament.
He is a Swiss by birth, but some years
ago, while living in South Australia. he
became a naturalized British subject.
Shortly afterward he went to live in Cairo
and registered at the British, consulate as
a naturalized British subject. After visit
to South Australia he again returned 10
Cairo and made a second application for
registration at the British consulate, but
this time he met with a refusal, on the
ground that his South Australian natural
ization rights did not extend beyond that
colony, and an investigation proved that
this was a fact. His certificate conferred
upon him simply 'all the rights and capao-
tiles within the aforesaid province (South
Australia) Of a natural-born British sub
ject" Finding himself thus shorn Of his
British citizenship, he went to both the
French and German consuls, who represent
the Swiss republic in Cairo, and tried to
get their protection as Swiss citizen, but
this also was denied him, on the ground
that he had forfeited his Swiss citizenship
by becoming subject of Great Britain.
Thus he is British citizen in South
Australia but in any other part of the
world he is a man absolutely without q
country.-Philadelphia Record.

MINERS ASSERT THEMSELVES

The determination of the International
mining congress to perpetuate itself will
be welcome news to the thousands en-
gagged in the industry throughout the
country, who fully appreciate the utter
futility Of unorganized effort in securing
proper recognition by congress and in
obtaining needed legislation. Spasmodic
efforts in this direction, put forth at va
rious times since mining became one Of
the chief industries of the United States,
have met with defeat and discontinue,
because Of the impossibility Of making
either the people or their representatives
comprehend its Importance or it's needs.
In the same way, and for half CEN
fury or more, did the great agricultural
interests in this country suffer, until the
multitudes engaged in the industry
pressed for and secured the establish
ment of a department of the govern
ment, with cabinet officer at its head,
charged with the duty of promoting its
welfare in the thousand ways which sci
entific investigation suggests. The bene-
fits already enjoyed by that class Of in
dustrial laborers is everywhere conceded.
They are multiple and substantial. The
political party that should propose to
abolish the department of agriculture
would meet with overwhelming defeat
at the polls, regardless Of other issues
involved.
The mining industry is not less deserv-
ing of recognition and paternal encour-
agement. The laws governing it were
enacted half century ago, when 1t was
in its infancy, and before the exploitation
of the metallic wealth of the country on
scientific lines had been undertaken.
Many Of these are poorly adapted to pres
emit needs; some are wholly obsolete.
while not a few are oppressive to indi-
viduals and obstructive to natural prog
ress. The most grievous Of these-the
statutes relating to the apex of mineral
veins and the lateral rights Of discov-
erers-are so obviously in derogation Of
private rights and against public policy
that nisi prius courts have nowhere been
found willing to enforce them. But the
supreme court must needs rule in their
favor, so long as they remain unrepealed,
and wealthy individuals, and corporations
alone enjoy the benefits, for that is the
only class that can afford to take their
causes; up to the. higher, tribunal

Each company therein has collie or dog
of similar breed trained to find wounded
soldiers on the field and convey intelligence
of their whereabouts to the hospital corps.
The dog carries metallic case attached to
his neck, containing a pad and pencil,
brandy and other restoratives. If the soldier
be not too severely wounded he writes his
name on the paper, which is returned to the
case. The dog hastens for help, and he who
might have been lost to his comrades is
rescued

species. Still, these singular denizens of
Lake Tanganyika are not exactly like the

the conclusion is drawn that a sea, con-
