What is troubling the Coal Trust and
the railway magnates- today is that on
Monday the trainmen may refuse TO handle
coal There are strong indications that
the railway labor organizations may adopt
a course of open assistance 10 the strikers

a month, but Will happen almost imme-

The miners continue to speak and act
in a thoroughly peaceable manner, and
there is no evidence TO show that they
contemplate any resort to violence. Yet

casian races. The author DR.. George Croft,

which the present inhabitants Of the tropics
live. and advances the opinion tnat with
proper regulations concerning cleanliness
and health. much of the disease now found
in tropical countries Will disappear.
There is something in this, and ii sug-
gesJs also the fact that almost any race Of
people can live in any climate if they ara
once accIfmated. and be healthy. With the
passing of several generations the less
virilc stock among the immigrants dies
out. and those Who remain acquire habits
and tastes suitable to the conditions in
which they live. The innapitant of coun-
try where the air is keen and frosty and
brecing must eat food more or less rich,
heavy, and oily; the people of the tropics
eat fruits, highly spiced and seasoned
food, and acids The habits of the people
must also conform to the climate in which
they find themselves, and the siesta in the
middle Of the day is as necessary 10
