INDIAN LEGEND
Explaining the Reason Why
They Paint Their Faces.

The quest on as to why Indians
paint their faces so hideously has
long puzzled people who are interest =

RICHNESS. The other night the guess
tion came at the Art club. Mr.. Fanny
said that he had never heard but one
legend bearing on the point. II was
sitting at a camp fire." said he, "iu a
village Of Jacarilla Apaches one night
listening to the stories and legends
that were being told. when pros
pounded the old question again. hard

Ion OF ignorance that hides 30 many

the evening listening to the stories
without changing his attitude. grunt-
ed and Strengthened up as he heard
the question. Proceeding with all
due solemnity. he told the following
legend:
"Long ago, when men were weak
and animals were big and strong.
chief Of the red men who lived In
these mountains went out to get q
deer, for his people were hungry.
"After walking all day he saw a
deer and at il. but the arrow was

When the lion felt the sting OF the ar.

the man, who ran for life.
"He was almost exhausted, and.
when he felt his strength giving way.
he fell to the ground. calling on the
big bear. who. you know. Is the
grandfather OF iuen. to save him.

saw that to save the man he had to
act quickly. SO he scratched his foot

Coal Production In the United
States.


The annouaccd that the increase 10
expectation Of coal In the United
States is causing uneasiness among
British coal producers and exporters
lends interest to some figures on the
coal production OF the world, and es-
pecially of the United States. just is
sued by the Treasury Bureau Of Sta
tistics. From these 1t appears that
the coal production of the United
States is now nearly five times as
much as In 1870, that the expectation
has in that time increased from q
quarter OF million tons to over four
million tons. and that the United
States, which In 1870 supplied but
II per cent of the worlds output now
furnishes about as per cent.
No other country shows such a rap
id increase in coal production as does
the United States. Great Britain's
average annual coal product, as
shown by a recent and widely quoted
statistical publication of the Swedish
government, In the FIVE year period
1915. amounted to Ia7 million tons.
and in 1915 amounted to ISs mill>
ion tons, an increase Of As pc. cent
In the average annual output. Ger
many's average animal coal product
In the period 1871 S was As million
tons. and In the five year period 1891.
S was o7i million tons. an increased
Of las per cent. The average annual
coal production OF France In the year
1871 S was I6 million tons. and In
the term 1875. AZ million tons, an
increase OF 70 per cent. The average
annual coal production of the United
states In the period IS7rs was as
million tons, and In the period 1891 S
according to our own figures. was aga
million tons. an increase Of I9a per
cent. The average annual output OF
"other countries" not individually
specified was, In 1871 S, "a million
tons, and In 1891 S, 79 millions tons.
an increase OF I3a per cent Ihe to-
tai average annual output oithe world
10 Is7Ies was. In round numbers, a66
million tons. and In 1875, sac mill
ion tons. an increase OF os per cent.
omitting the United States, the annu.
al output In 1915 average aai mill
Ion tons, and the average in 1875
was 3s8 million tons, on increase OF
rs per cent.
Both the area of coal production and
quantity produces have increased
greatly In the United States. In 1870
the number of States In which coal
was produced was but twenty, while
In 1867 the number was thirty-two
In 1870 productian Of anthracite coal
was reported only from Pennsylvania,
while the census OF 1880 reports pro-
duction in Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island. and Virginia. and more recent
reports show production Of anthrax
lie coal In Colorado and New Mexico.
Ia the South the increase has been es-
pecially rapid. Alabama In 1870 min.

very hard to say anything new. Only a
short time ago he played here in the Met

cred for itself that he was indeed the most
masterful exponent Of pIanisuc technique
of the age. His skill is simply fabulous,
and with it he combines fine musicianly
