INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. lin my opin-
ion there will be strike in the anthra-
otto region Of Pennsylvania and it will
be the biggest that the United States
has ever known" said President John
Mitchell Of tho United Mine Workers
Of America. Mr.. Mitchell has just re-
turned from a trip East, during which
he was present at the convention of the
miners at Hazleton, Pa, ~
'Of course q strike must be ordered
by the executive council Of organiza-
tion," he continued, ''but all indica-
tions point to a big tieup. The dtua.
ton in a nutshell lie simply this: We
have formulated our demands for an
advance of about 20 per cent in wages
and the removal Of certain conditions
that exist in the anthracite region.
Principal among these is that the OPP
orators in dealing with the miners
allow $500 pounds to . ton, and in
selling coal sell 5000 pounds for ton.
If the strike II ordered I believe that
~, 900 men will come out. OF course,
do not mean that these men will lay
down their tools at once, but strike
spirit is like war spirit, it grows con-
tinually, and when once part Of the
men are out in an effort to better their

age of anthracite miners are in the
mine workers. organization, but firm
~ believe that 49, 900 men will quit the

tho bituminous miners attempt to sup
ply the market for the anthracite deal

of the men in such mines as supply

An ingenious theory for the estima-
ton of the time of the various geo.
logical periods has been propounded by
IN engineer whose work on western
railroads takes him into primitive
country. He says that in one great de
preston in Wyoming the trees have
been recording the rate OF erosion OF
the slopes for about 500 years so accu-
rately that the data to he obtained by
a CAREFUL study OF them will be fac
tor OF extreme Importance in enabling
scientists to convert geological time
into years. While he has not vet had
time to collect those data properly. he
makes the rough deduction that, ac-
cording to their records the pliocene
and pleist0cene periods would repre-
sent about 1 100000 years. and that.
on this basis. the cenizoic time would
be about 100000 years. This would
mean that all geological time from the
beginning OF the Cambrian epoch
would be $4,000, 600 years.

A MEMORY OF BROOK FARM.
EaTthOrne In O Pillow Fight With
Two Girls.

Hawthorne In o Pillow Fight With
Two Girls.
do not recollect Hawthorne's talk
ing much at the table, says Mrs. Ora
Gannett Sedgwick in The Atlantic in
"a Girl of Sixteen at Brook Farm"
Indeed he was a very taciturn man.
One day, tired of seeing him sitting
immoyable on the sofa in the hall, as
was learning some verses to recite at
the evening class for recitation formed
by Charles A. Dana, L daringly took
my book, pushed it into his hands and
said, ''Will you hear my poetry, Mr..
Hawthorne?" He gave me a sidelong
glance from his very shy eyes, took
the book and most kindly heard me.
After that he was on the sofa every
week to hear me recite.
He was one evening alone in the hall,
sitting on a chair at the farther end,
when my roommate, Ellen Slade, and
myself were going up stairs. She whis-
pered to me, Lets throw the sofa pill
lows at Mr.. Hawthorne" Reaching
over the banisters, we each took
cushion and threw it. Quick as n flash
he put out his hand, seized a broom
that was hanging near him, warded off
with sure aim. AS fast as we could
throw them at him he returned them
with effect, hitting us every time, while
we could hit only the broom. He must
have been very quick in his movements.
Through it all not a word was spoken.
We laughed and laughed, and his eyes
shone and twinkled like stars with
laughter. Wonderful eyes they were,
and when anything witty was said l
always looked quickly at Mr.. Haw
thorne, for his dark eyes lighted up
as IL flames were suddenly kindled be-
hind them, and then the smile came
down to his lips.
We laughed merrlly and went off to
bed, vanquished. without n word.
suppose Mr.. HawthOrne's face must
have worn that wonderful smile, which
always seemed suddenly kindled be-
hind his eyes, twinkled there for a
second and then ran swiftly over his
intensely grave face.
