again, when he fell with Il bullet
through his head, and the insurgents
started rush for the diminished land
ing party, now practically helpless.
Weak as he was from the loss Of
blood, Robinson realized he was the
only man in the party who could re-
pair the gun if it could be done at all,
and dragging himself to it, he pulled
himself up on the one leg which would
bear his weight and went to work as
calmly as though at practice drill.
Still the enemy came on. They We're
within one hundred feet of the gun
and in the open when he got the plug
out and the gun ready to work. Then
he turned it loose into the crowd Of
half-naked savages and moved them
down in swaths.
DemoraliZed by the fierce fire which
was decimating their ranks, the insur-
gents broke in confusion.
"Charge them"' yelled Jerry, and the
little party did so, taking Mike Brady
with them. They emerged from the
ravine in chase of the Filipinos just as
company of the Twenty-sixth Regi-
ment came up to complete the work of
clearing out the enemy, who ran into
the tangled brush and defied pursuit,
and then the rescued party thought of
Jerry Robinson.
They went back and found him ly-
ing across the gun, dead, a stray bullet
having struck him just over his right
ear. They buried him where he fell,
and one wrote on a piece of wood
which they put up to mark his grave,
He was a brave man."

MINES AND MINERS.
Cost OF Coal in the United StateG.
The Coal Production.

1t is likely that salt mining may in
the early future be added to the indus
tries OF British Columbia. A Vancouv-
er syndicate has properties on Salt
spring island, in the Gull OF Georgia,
which not only show good indications
OF coal tor which borings are being
made, but also contain valuable salt
springs.
The average cost OF coal per ton at
the pit head in the United States is Civ
en- on computation based on the re-
turns Tor 1890 as IS G1ad per ton, as
compared with IS Io1ad in the United
Kingdom, 6s I'D in Germany, Is I'd in
Begun, IS Sd in France, SIS Cd in New
South Wales los in New Zealand and a
traction over SIS in Japan. H. therefore,
American coal owners can scarcely yet
hope to break, with any profit to them
selves, the proverbial record of sending
Goals to Newcastle" they have still 9th
er countries open to them. AS competi-
tors, British coal sellers are already be-
ginning to feel more severely than may
be pleasant the presence OF American
coal IN markets i'll which English coal
has hitherto been supreme.
In spite OF continued effort to in
crease the efficiency OF engines and
boilers the progress OF invention is such
that coal is becoming each year a more
and more important article OF com-
merce, says the Chicago News. So
short time ago, viewing the history OF
the world, as 1881, the annual coal pro-
ducton OF Great Britain was 24ooo, 600
tons; Tor the year 1901 the coal produI.
ton will probably be 100000, 900 tons,
an increase OF oCo per cent.

protracted work is undertaken, in or

in order that an accidental delay
through breakage may be precluded.
Hand or machine needles should be

should be kept at hand, that the points

HOW coLoRAFFEcTsl
Que Re2son Why American Machinery
 Is Not More PoplIar.

Is Not More Pop IIar.
 4 gentleman who has travelled much and has very large interest in Amer ican export trade said, in conversation the other day, that the principal draw back to wider extension of American commerce in certain parts of the world is that manufacturers in the United States do not sufficiently study the wants, the customs and the tastes Of their prospective customers. For ex- ample,' he said, "a certain American firm sent some electrical goods, which were decorated in green, to Japan. They did not sell any. No Japanese would bring such things into his house; it would mean an invitation to the evil deities. Green is an evil color in Japan. What Japanese wants is red things. Upon this simple matter ot color rests the failure of that manu. faeturer to succeed in export trade" A German emL lover of labor sa 1: aI like American machines so far as their performance of their work is con- eerned, but they demoralize my men. They come here in sober colors of paint and with no bright parts. The men who attend the machines do not have any brass to keep clean or any surfaces to rub, and they get lazy The German workman needs to be kept busy with things of this sort" Here, now, are some practical instances of what the American manufacturer must iearp before he can attain the widest success in the new field of foreign trade. Do not send to Germany cata- logues in the English language or to Japan things decorated in green, or to the isthmus of Panama anything with blue spots in it. It looks as if we need in this country a commercial kinder garten in which such information as the above may be taught to those of curious and inquirlng mind for their everlasting benefit and profit

HIGH DEATH RATE DUE TO GRIP
DR. r. S TRACY THINKS THE EPIDEMIC

New-York has suffered severely this winter ana

in knowing that the death rate has been extraorui-
narily high in London. and higher in Chicago and
Boston than here. The number of deaths from
pneumonia in the entire city of New-fork TOT the
week ending March "a was 800. and from grip 62.
Our death rate from pneumonia has been pretty
high" said DR.. Roger S. Tracy Register OF
Records of the Board Of Health. yesterday in talk
with Tribune reporter ut began to go up In the
week ending February TO- and rose TO the week end
ing March 3. Since then 1t has shown a tendency
decrease. The increase in deaths has been al
most entirely due to pneumonia The deaths have
been running from about 10 per cent higher up to
about 80 per cent higher than in the corresponding
weeks of 1899. We had epidemic Of influenza
earlier last year Influenza epidemic in De-
cember. 1898, and January, 1899 while this year 1t
began in February and extended over into March.
In the epidemic last year the highest number of
deaths from pneumonia was 1928. for the week end

April weather 1t will rapidly disappear. When the
grip epidemic first appeared ten years ago. we no
ticed that it came very suddenly. TO its high
est point, and in six weeks ran down. Since then
the epidemic comes more gradually and goes away
more gradually, spreading over period Of about
three months instead of month and half The
present epidemic has been going now eight
weeks, and will probably continue two or three
weeks longer and about the middle of April will
be over. This year it has been more virulent than
last. but not more than in 1885, and 1896.
Il do not know that the weather has anything
to do with the grip although some think it has
/ should presume however, that weather which
would get the membrane of the and
throat into unhealthy condition would bring it
on, and that If a person doesn't catch cold he
doesn't get it,
AT the Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital No. 103
Park-ave Superintendent Hawthorne said that,
while the wards were fun there were no more
cases than usual. The spring Is the season for
work on account of climatic changes. Colds
contracted and troubles follow, but the
present epidemic of grip has not increased the
number of cases in the hospital to an unusual
degree for this time of the year.
