MIR. Newett says he has read that some
OF the South African mines are equipped
with the intention of going down 1000 feet
bui he has no knowledge on the subject
lie thinks the temperature must be much
higher than In the mines of the upper
peninsula OF Michigan, as there Is nothing
to take up the heat of the rocks. That the
Calumet and Hecla and the Tamarack
mines can be worked AT n far greater
depth than they have yet attained Is as
serted TO be certain, but just what the in
crease of heat Will be after passing 5000
feet Is problematical. The experiment noN
lnder way at The Calumet and Hecla. the
result of which win be made public In a
short time, is expected to definitely settle
this question.
The effect upon the miners of existing
atmospheric conditions has been greatly
exaggerated. Mr.. Newett asserts that he
has conveTsed with many men who repu-
larly work at the bottom of the lowest
smart for ten hours each day, and that
they are fully as strong and rugged as

TRIED TO HIDE HER SHAME.
ApplinE County Shocked by the Con-
duet of "a White Woman.

Bailey, Ga, Aug. 4.-AppIng county is
just now shocked by the report OF most
heinous crime committed about a week
ago in the southeastern part of the coun-
ty. The coroner, Dr. j. e. Oversueet
has just returned from holding the in
quest and gives the facts as follows:
On last Wednesday night a widow, Mrs
Elizabeth Harding, gave birth to an illesit-
innate child. No one was present except
herself ana her three Children. one Of
whom is a boy about Is years old. Tie
children knew nothing OF the hirth of The
child but about 5 or / O'Clock Thursday

him a bundle, tod him to hide il carefully,

Previously 10 this the ueighb0rs had no
tced and quest oned her concerning her
condition, but she denied that she was in
delicate health. on Thursday lady. who
lived near called TO see her and found her
in bed claiming that she had taken med
icine ana was not feeling well The lady
questioned her about the child. but the
woman declared that no child had been
born.
The neighbors finally determined to make
a search, and collected at her house for
that purpose. When they set out she
acknowledged that a child had been born
but that it was born one month prema-
turely. and never breathed. They found
it about 100 yards from the house under
a clay root. partially decayed it having
been exposed from Thursday morning 90
Monday. The back of its head was
crushed and a portion of it was hanging
down.
The news of the crime was brought to
town only yesterday morning, and the cor
oner proceeded at once to the scene of the
crime. The child had been buried by the
neighbors several days, but the body was
eXhumed and examined. Decomposition
had progressed so rapidly that little infor-
nation was gained by the examination.
The mother has not entirely recovered, but
q warrant has been issued for her arrest
and she will be held to answer the action
of the grand jury at the September term
of the Superior Court
Mrs. Harding is very well connected,
and many people are surprised at the case.
She came originally from North Caro-

II Is strange that in these days OF ex-

has never been penetrated by white man
Lhassa, the capital of Thbet, is the one
city on the face of the earth which no
stranger can enter. This land of mystery
whose locked gates so many brave men
have tried to open, Is fourteen times as big
as England, and is three miles above the
level of the sea. It's population is about
as large as the population OF London. Only
one Englishman has ever been in the sa-
cred city-Thomas Manning, who reached
IL in 1911. He was soon sent back again

missionaries have Tisked their lives in At

CONSIDERING THE BLOCKADE.
Root Is working ON the Information
He Now Has az Hand.

Washington, Aug 24-The establishment
of blockade of the ports of the Philip
pines. especially those of Luzon. is sub
ject which is receiving attention at the
war department, although Secretary Root
says he has not as yet sufficient informa-
ton to warrant definite action in the mat
ter. The secretary says he believes in
taking advantage of everything necessary
TO make a campaign successful and that
war cannot be made without causing dis
tress At the same time he thinks an alb
solute blockade may do more injury just
now than good.
He considers that it would be a serious
hardship upon a peaceful community 10
shUr it off from means of subsis fence be-
cause a port which supplies it is in the
hands of marauders. Another matter that
has to be considered is the fact that mer-
chants and business men in Manila would
be seriously crippled and it might cause
a great deal of dissatisfaction should a
rigid blockade re maintained a. present.
The probabilities are, however, that when
the fall campaign begins there will be an
effectual blockade maintained.

Washington. Aug. 4.-It is believed in

stead of being settled by executive action.
One of these relates 10 the free exchange OF
commodities between Porto Rico and this

Another plan of relieving Porto Rico was
to permit her tobacco 70 enter Cuba free of
duty. This would give an easy market to
Porto Rican tobacco. but the point has
