ago, and then the owners looked about
for other places to find coal, and what
is known as the Wellington extension
mines were opened. The shipping
point was also changed. Extensive
bunkers were erected at Ladysmith,
and the bunkers at Departure Bay
were closed.
No. pit at Wellington has been a
producer all summer. and something
like 500 tons of coal per day was
hauled by rail to Ladysmith. But now
the last pillar has been removed. The
water is coming in, and no further
efforts are being made to keep it out.
The machinery is being taken out.

it will be utilized.

There is at least one newspaper
which is edited by king. In far
away New Zealand there is an inter
esting little eight-page paper, with
three columns to a page, printed in
both the English and the native
tongue. and called The Pleiades Of
Seven Stars. It's editor is no less q
person than his royal highness, Taw-
hiao. 1t is true that this potentate is
not an Independent sovereign, but

! The value Of negative blessings, SO to
epeak-the things that do not happen
is seldom taken into account, yet one
might not unreasonably figure them as
"asscts." For instance. an insurance
expert estimates that two and half
million accidents. involving a money
loss Of one hundred and seventeen mil
lions of dollars, take place in this coun-
try every year. Turning this state
ment about little. it would seem that
the people who met with no accident
last year saved thereby, on an average,
forty-six dollars and eighty cents!

Eighty New Locomotives;

Paterson, N. j.. Oct. 1.-THE South
'ern Pacific has placed an order with
the Cook Locomotive Company for
eighty locomotives, passenger and mo-
guls. The passenger engines will have
three pairs of drivers and double car
riages, and the moguls three drivers
and pony carriages. The price is not
known, but the engines usually cost
about $4,000 each. This is a very
large order for the Cook works, which
turns out from three to four locomo-
tives a week. With other work on
hand the order will keep the works
running night and day for six months.
1t is said the night force will be made
up of men from the Rogers works,

! The loss and waste through negli-
gence is incompatible. The mechani-
ca, genius and business energy of our
age is devoted in large measure to the
economies of doing things. If any one
shall say that inventions in machinery

from a safe prediction, no one can say
that the occupation Of making men

guilty, the consequences of the crime

"A wonderful triumph OF surgery has
just been achieved by Dr.. Hermann Won
Schrotter in the clinical department Of the
University OF Vienna. A boy, aged u, had
swallowed a piece Of lead OF the size OF
half sovereign, which, passing through
the windpiDe, descended into a bronchial
tube Of the second order. DR., Schrotter
extracted the piece of lead without trach-
eotomy, and even without using anaes-
thetics; the operation was nevertheless
quite painless. This, II appears, is the
first time that a bronchus of the second
order has been penetrated and "a foreign
body extracted from 1t without danger-
Gus surgical operation. The extractfon
was effected throughout under the guild
ance Of DR. Schroeder. First, by means OF
the Roentgen rays, the piece Of lead was
discovered located at the hight OF the
fourth rib; then Kilian's bronchoscope was
in the ordinary way introduced into the
trachea and electrically lighted up and
the piece of lead was a last extracted by
pncette expressly constructed for the
purpose Prof. Kilian had succeeded only
once in introducing his bronschoscope into
a bronchus Of the first order and then only
by performing tracheotomy.
