The appearance in n Of the Sep
tember magazines of another sympo-
SUM on "The Secret Of Success" may
be regarded as one more sign OF the
fascination which this subject has for
ambitious young America. It is in re-
Spouse to a genuine demand that SIM
liar. articles have appeared in print in
this country at intervals for many
years, and the interest in the theme
seems in nowise abated. The young
American, more than the young man
of any other country, is filled from the
start with the purpose not merely to
do well, but to do so we'll al to win
distinction. Any advice as to how that
end is to be attained is absorbed with
eager interest. even though the bur-
den of the counsel, as in the case of
the symposium in Pearson's Maya
zine. which is written by several mer-
chant princes and brilliant profession
al men. is the same. Men whose call

H. Schaw proposes to blast with
high-pressure. steam, instead of the
usual inlammable explosives, which
are so dangerous, in fiery mines. MI.
Schaw suggests that a cartridge OF
water lodged in a shot hole could be
converted into steam at a pressure OF
about $50 pounds a square inch by
means of low-tension electricity, and
the cartridge should be made of such
strength that it would burst at about
this pressure, when the force set at
liberty would break down the coal.
When the cartridge bursts the wire Is
fused and the electric circuit is broken,
so that there is no further risk OF
ignition of firedamp or coaldust. Mr..
Schaw maintains that the force devel-
oped by the water cartridge will be
sufficient to break down the undercut
coal in a mine.
