The impending strike among the
mine workers was the sole topic Of
conversation in the homes, business
houses and on the streets yesterday.
The general consensus IF opinion was
that all the collieries will be idle to-
morrow and that the men are in for n
prolonged struggle. Most of the driv-
arS and breaker boys IN the Diamond

If there is any kind of pavement
which hasn't strenuous advocate in
New Haven there is some mistake, and
the mistake should be rectified at once.
Hamilton, Ontario. has a pavement
which ought to have an advocate here
Hamilton began to experiment with coal
tar as "binder' for macadam streets
fifteen years ago, and has had success
with it. Experience has taught that in
uniformity in the coal tar used 1t must
be refined properly. The tar must be
pure coal tar, free from all foreign sub
stances and containing not more than
per cent of water and not less than So
per cent of pitch. Great care must be
taken when mixing the tar with the
broken stone and placing the stone in
position, also with the rolling and the
final mixture for binding on the sur
face. In fact, the successful construc-
tion of this form of roadway calls for
expert work. The cost of new con-
struction in Hamilton is IS cents per
square yard. The cost of material and
ordinary labor for this work is as fol-
lows: Broken stone, 95 cents per cubic
yard; coal tar $3.50 per barrel delivered
on the work; labor, IS cents per hour.
The advantages of this form Of road
way are said to be it's low cost, its dur
ability, the fact that the use Of coal tar
as a binder renders the roadway imper-
vious to water, frost proof in winter,
and prevents mud and dust and loose
stones in summer 1t makes a smooth,
clean, comparatively noiseless attrac-
tive roadway, while the ordinary stone
and sand binder in general use in this |
soon wears badly under traffic, |
making mud or dust and soon allows
the larger stones to loosen.

FELL ITO FEET.


And Lives to Describe the Sensations
When Louis Mason twenty-five
went to Murphy's Boiler works he lis
tened to the thrilling tales old workmen
told about falls They put him with
Robinson's gang, and the foreman Of
ten remarked that the new man had a
level head on his shoulders and would
be the last man to fall. Through the
fault of a friend one day, Mason was
sent to the ground, twenty feet, while
! working with a stack. He plaStered
his cuts and bruises, and when the old
| hands were half-certain that the strap
| ping fellow was going to give up the
hard and risky task, they found their
mistake in judging him-Mason took
his old hammer again and went out
with Robinsons gang.
The American Sugar refinery wanted
a new smokestack, and accepted the
specifications of the New Orleans Boiler
works-the concern of Murphy; and Su-
perintendent Cronin deemed Robinson's
gang the best set of men for the work,
which called for stack one hundred
and fifty feet long and nine feet in di-
ameter. They knew that 1t would
take months to complete the job, and
Mason was one of the hardest workers
in the gang. No one was Drawer than
he. but no matter how risky the task
was the other workmen noticed that
the Young man was watching his posi-
ton with a clear eye.
The superintendent built a new plat
form for the men. He had ii built like
a bird cage with fo,,,. iron rods of good
thickness running from the floor to
heavy tin7hers above which ioined each
other and were made more secure bv a.
cross-beam. Then the cross-beam was
used for the block and tackle support:
il was strong enough to hold q hundred
men. and there would he no danger of
fitting. after a rome was Strung through
another block and tackle to the timbers
that were put across the ton of the
stack. Mason liked the lob. and he was
SO sure that it would be always firm
that he was willing to be the ladder
man of the gang.
That was the lob he had Yesterday
afternoon. with Gus McEvov another
well-muscled fellow Robinson was
at the base of the stack where was the
coil Of rome which was used to NM the
swinging platform in position. He
knew that Miller and Hayae With No
Evoy and Mason were on the platforr
with hammers and bolts and McNuItv
was on boltman's chair an the ont

be benefited by pension. Again, each
employees contributions depend, not on
his attained age but on the amount of
salary he receives, while the pension
paid does not bear the same ratio. 1t
would appear from the foregoing that
the rules of life insurance companies
will be Of use only in determining the
expectation of life at the average age
that teachers become benefciaries of
the pension fund. No statistics on this
subject ever having been prepared, it
will be necessary for the actuary to
compile from the records of the board
of education, and to use such figures
as the basis of his calculations.

The Chicago teachers planned PEN
sion system which, not being based on
sound principles, Is a failure. An ex-
pert actuary has been studying the sit
uation and he says that the system can
be put on safe basis. He dissents,
however, from the view of other ex-
perts, that life-insurance rules should
be followed in the reorganization, and
gives good reasons for his position. The
pension system, he says, differs from
the insurance system in many ways,
and should so continue In the first
place, the rules which govern life insur-
ance companies so that each member
of given class of insurance may be
treated alike, cannot apply to pension
funds, for the word pension indicates
that it Is to be sustained partly through
charitable donations. Another variance
is that the health and family history
of a teacher are not consulted, for both
the good and bad risks without dis
elimination, are put on the same foot
ing. This is to the distinct ADVANTAGE
of the good risk, for the poor risk will,
in all proba bility, pay into the fund
several years contributions and die be-
fore attaining an age when he could

MiNY iyD MUCH,

OF course the people of New Haven
have no call to distress themselves be-
cause they have been counted wrong.
Even if there were only as many, or as
few, of us here as the census men have
set down it would be all right. 1t is
quality that tells, and as long as we re-
tain our quality and a saving remnant
of the town born we needn't care about
mere numbers. Still, accuracy is accu-
racy, and it is pretty plain that the
United States government hasn't count
ed straight here. Mr.. Wilson H. Lee,
who has made SO many directories that
he Is an expert in population is of the
opinion that New Haven has many
more people than the government
count showed, and he gives convincing
reasons for his belief. His expert opin-
ion agrees with the opinion Of others
who haven't had the experience that he
has, but who think they know some
thing about New Haven. Perhaps New
Haven ought to have a new count just
to show outsiders that we are many as
we'll as much.

| BRYAN'S CIR EFT md GOOD FRIENL
Four years ago when Bryan came tc
New York he came to ''the enemy s
country" This year he came to his
friend Cookers country, and he was so
pleased with Croker's friendship that
he said "Great is Tammany, and
Croker is it's prophet" Four years ago
Bryan was loved by many because of
the fact that Croker wasn't his par
ticular friend. This year there are
many who don't love him because
Croker is his particular friend. This
feeling is said to be strong in the West,
where Croker is not considered the ideal
ruler, and it is also said that many
rural Democrats in New York will vote
against Bryan because of his alliance
with Croker
When you think of it, it Is come
down for a man who started out with
such high ideals as Bryan said he had
to be Cookers chosen and conspicuous
friend. But probably Bryan believes
that Croker can give him more votes
than he will drive away, and Bryan
needs votes.

There is a famous site in London
where once stood the palace of Crom-
we'll, Earl of Essex, and afterward the
hall of the Diapers Company Here
will be opened in q few days one of
the most remarkable and magnificent
restaurants in London, the Throgmor-
ton. 1t Is the nineteenth century de-
velopment of the old eating houses of
the city, in which you dived down a
few steps, into musty apartment,
where very plain food, but good wine,
was procurable. At the Throgmorton
the proprietors have dived to some
purpose. They have dived and tun-
neled, and have constructed a restaur-
ant of three floors underground which
apparently consists chiefly of long gal
leries all luxuriously fitted and fur
nished.

determination of rats by the appli-

Gently been suggested at the Pasteur
Institute of Paris. 1t is said a microbe
has been found which will produce a
deadly pestilence when introduced into
a population of rats and cause their
humiliation, or. at least. make them a
negligible quantity. The bacillus in
question was derived from field mice
suffering from a spontaneous epidemic
disease, and by elaborate processes of
repeated cultures was transmitted
through a series of rats and mice. In
this way its virulence was increased.
