AGREE UPON A SCALE.

Oven ten years ago, after a series Of wage
disputes, the employers and their men agreed
upon certain scales Of wages to be paid in
each vein and for various classes of work. the
miners wage scale containing understanding
that powder was to be purchased from the com.
pany, and sold to the miner for $2.75 per keg,
allowing the former at that time the small profit
between the wholesale purchase price and that
above stated. This agreement, as il may prop.
erly be called, was not in the nature Of a legal
document signed by both parties, nor even Of
a large gathering of representatives of miners
and employers. 1t had been talked over be.
tween each employer and his men working at
dhrcnt collicrics, and seeming satisfactory,
was accepted at one collicry after another
This scale has remained in force ever since.
The selling price for coal has in the mean.
time, varied from that current in 1893 to the un-
profitable figures of 1895. In the meantime the
cost of mining has largely increased through
the exhaustion of the upper veins and expense
Of opening, hosting and pumping from deep
veins, as well aS the greater cost Of machinery
suitable for their ventilation, heavier props
waste in larger pillars and numerous other
causes. Then, too, royalties on coal have in.
creased and, even more costly, competition has
compelled the operators to erect large and cx-
pensirC plants to prepare clean coal for the mar.
ket anC throw away a large percentage of in.
ferior coal which in former years was shipped
to market mixed with the other coal Owinc
to these higher costs it would have been mani.
testify impossible for the operators to have con.
tinued wage scale made in more prospcror,
times, had it not fortunately happened that the
purchase price Of powder gradually declined,
thus giving an increasing margin of profit, which
has been almost enough to balance the higher
costs of mining, while paying labor the same
rate

will arrive in New York next month
to perfect details OF building. Cot
tages will be erected at once, fitted
with modern conveniences. Active
farming will begin in the fall.
The colony will be similar to tho

land, which was chosen on account OF
it's proximity to New York, will be
improved from time to time. AL
earnings will go toward this end.

SHIP DID NOT BURN.

Battlenhip Majestic Destroys tho
Belle Isle After CannonadinE Last
ing Only Nine Minutea-Pur-
pose of the Experiment.

An interesting admiralty experi-
ment was carried out the other day
off Selsea-Bill, near Portsmouth,
England, with the view of setting
various naval gunnery questions. An
old turret ship, the Belle Isle, was
selected for the purpose. 1t was built
In 1878 at n cost of about $1.2o0,0OO,
has 12 inches of armor on it's sides,
nine inches over its bull1heads, nine
inches over it's gun positions, and
from 10 to 0 inches of deck plating.
The Belle Isle was moored COM
pletely equipped with torpedo and
splinter nets, etc, as 1t would be in
action, and the British first-class bat
tleship Majestic, carrying four 12-
inch guns, 10 6-inch quick-tirers, 10
12-pounders, 12 3-pounders, and s
smaller rapid-fire guns, steaming past
the Belle Isle at seven knots and at
distance just under mile, treated
the Belle Isle as an enemy and opened
fire with all guns.
The firing lasted nine minutes. The
experts examination showed that the
shots of the Majestic had riddled the
Belle Isle. 1t was complete wreck
inside, the shells having pierced its
lightly armored and unprotected por-
tons. But they did not pierce the
thick armor with which the warship
had been specially fitted for the ex-
pertinent.
In 4 statement made in the house
of commons later the first lord of the
admiralty, George j. Goschen, said
that to the extreme surprise of the
naval men the Belle Isle did not take
fire, although she was reported to
have been in flames six minutes after
the firing began.
He explained that the spectators,
being at distance from the war
ship, were misled by volumes of steam
and lyddite smoke. Mr.. Goschen add
ed that there was slight smoldering
in one cabin Of the Belle Isle, but
that otherwise the woodwork, al
though shattered in every direction,
was not consumed by fire to any de-
gree.
The experiment was instituted spe-
cially to see whether the woodwork
of the Belle Isle would burn as the
woodwork of the Spanish ships de-
stroyed by the Americans had burned.

PROUD OF BEING HEATHEN.

Bipin Chnndra Pal, addressing the
Moral Educational society in Tremont
temple the other day, said:
II am not ashamed OF appearing be-
fore you as heather. Heather
means one who is not Christian, and
I am not ashamed of confessing that
am not Christian. If had any

and the closest study of the religion

New York, In Piccadilly and other
places, have removed every bit Of
doubt. am prouder than ever of be-
ing heather, as distinguished from
being a Christian.
THAT the heather Hindoo Is inn
practicable is to be found in the fact
that few English soldiers lord IL
