JOHNSON Mine HAD
TO BE SHUT DOWN
Miners Quit Work to Search Through
the Abandoned Workings for
John Zylankus.

The Polish. Hungarian and Slavish
miners ana laborers. numbering nearly
200. employed at the Johnson colliery
OF the Green Ridge Coal company, quit
work yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
and announced that they would hot 60
back until thorough and complete
search was made for John Xylankus,
the laborer whom they believe To be
lost in the mine. Their quitting ne
cesSitated the shutting down of the
mine.
Iylankus, as was stated in yester-
days Tribune, was q laborer who was
employed by John Marowski, a Slayish
miner He left his home in Johnson's
patch on Saturday morning to go To
work and never returned, His friends
and fellow-countIymen believe that he
is lost in the mine, but the mine otil-
cals scout the idea.
IylankuS was young man. and had
| worked in tn" mine but two DAYS.
which would give some plausibility to
| the theory that h. had lost his way,
on account Of his not being acquainted
| with the workings of the mine. The
| last seen Of him was ON Saturday
morning, when he entered the shanty
of the tlreboss ana received permission
| to so 10 work.
He left To so to the chamber where
| his miner was working, but the latter
| says that he never showed up there.
| and has done all he can to counteract
| the belief that the man Is vet in the
mine, He believes. with the mine ofIi-
| cials that Zylankus decided not TO 90
to work, for some reason, after he left
| the tircboss' shanty, and that he has
| gone to some other part of the VALLEY.
The ilrebosses and the inside fore
man, John DevereauX, went through
the mine on Sunday. but found no
trace of the missing man. Other
| searching parties went through on
| Monday with no success, and vester-
day morning, after the foreigners quit,
they formed themselves into bands of
IA score or more and went into nearly
every corner of the workings, without
finding trace of the missing man.
They halloed and shouted, and
searched hither and thither with their
| lights but to no avail. Even the old
abandoned workings were gone through
Here the dust lies very thick, and It Is
the opinion of the foremen that if Zy-
lankus had strayed into these parts OF
the mine he could be tracked by his
footprints. Not footprint could bt
discovered.
1t is probable that the foreigners will
insist today that even a still more
thorough search be made, but the min,
officials will do everything in thei
power to discourage this.
A story Is current to the effect tha
Zylankus disappeared from Wilkes
Barre very suddenly a few months ago

There are certain kinds of wood that
are too hard to burn. or refuse to ignite
for some other reason, such as IRON
wood and the good brier root. but 1t Is
a curiosity to come across a piece of
common deal-the soft, light wood of
which so many boxes are made-that
cannot be set fire to-
The piece of wood in question was
common white deal from Sweden, but
was remarkable for its comparative
weight. 1t had formed part of boat
belonging to a whaler and bad been
dragged below the surface of the wa
ter to the depth of more than half a
mile by a harpooned whale. The
length of line and the short distance
from the point of descent after being
struck at which the whale rose to the
surface was a proof of the depth to
which 1t had dragged the boat.
Only part of the boat came up again
at the end of the line, and 1t was taken
on board when the whale had been
killed. That piece of wood was so
hard that 1t would not burn In a gas
Jet. The weight of water had com
pressed it.-London Standard

ny tue jealous Iearb
of his uncle, Shere Ali. against whom
he had sided when Ali and the other
two sons of the famous Dost Mahomed
were fighting for the throne. 1t was in
1868 that he fed the country and for 10
years before, In 1880, he re-entered At
ghanistan to ascend the throne, he was
the guest OF the Gar, living on Russia's
bounty in the city of Samarcand. The
Russians have accused him Of the gross
est ingratitude in these later years
when he has treated Russia almost as
an enemy.
The opportunity of Abdur Rahman
was equal to 1t. Shere Ali had been
driven from the throne of Cabul A fu-
gitive from the British vengeance that
was pursuing the great men of the At
ghans who connived at the murder of
British subjects, he died In the north
erni part of his country. His son,
Yakoub Khan, had hardly been pro-
claimed Ameer when the British mis-
sion under Sir Louis Cavagnari, was
massaered In Cabul and Yakoub was
dethroned and led prisoner to India.
Meanwhile Abdur Rahman had crossed
the border. assured of the support of
some of the leading men, and proclaim
ed himself Ameer. His coming was
welcomed by the British and his rule
began In 1880
Afghanistan's 100000 people are
made up of many diverse and even an
tagonistic elements. He put down with
a heavy hand the uprising of the Chill
zais, who numbered about one-fourth
of his people. He compelled the Wild
est tribesmen among the mountains to
pay taxes and the taxes he levied were
no bagatelle. He had never pretended
to govern his country on rosewater
principles. Nobody asserts that he won
the love Of his people. but he estab-
lished his supremacy, became the ruler
Of a united Afghanistan and received
general recognition as the strongest
Ameer since the days of the old Dura-
mis-. He established various industries
and acquainted his people with some of
the best features of civilized life.
His heir is Habib Oullah, who is 80
years of age.

RAILWAY RUMBlES.

Our miles of railroad track exceed by
more than 10000 all the tracks of En-
rope.
The Dominion Of Canada has granted
$ss,ss4.557 and 80. 725.13 aere3 of land
to railways.
More than 45,000,0oO passengers q
year go through the North Union and
South Union stations In Boston.
In most European railways the prin-
cipal difference between second class
and first class lies IL the color of the
seat cushions, first class being usually
red, second class gray.
The average cost of the body of a
modern long electric car is $1,000. the
average price of a set of double trucks
for such car Is 5000. and the ayera ge
cost of the motor Is 81 300, making the
total cost of the car 81, 100.
Some Of the Austrian railways have
followed the German custom of selling
numbered seats in the cars of fast
trains. both first and second class. An
extra charge OF from about % TO so
cents is made for these selts, according
to distance.
The other day, Just as a train was
about TO leave Kutas. In Hungary. for
Palfalya, an official appeared and put
seals on the wheels of the engine. The
passengers had to get off and walk.
The company was DOG crowns In ar
rears In payment Of taxes. Next day
the taxes were paid. and the train pro
ceeded.

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
How the Paving Value of Asphalt
Was Brought to Notice.

All forms of bituminous pavements,
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt. are in fact artificial
stone pavements. The industry started
with the use of the natural rock as
phalt from the mines In the Val de
Travers, Canton Neufchatel, Switzer-
land. The mines were discovered in
1921, but It was 1S49 that Its utility as
n road covering was first noticed. The
rock was then being mined for the
purpose of extracting the bitumen con-
tanned In 1t for use In medicine and
arts. 1t is limestone found impreg-
mated with bitumen. of which 1t yields
on analysis from s to IA per cent.
1t was observed that pieces Of rock
which fell from the wagon were crush
ed by the weight of wheels, and under
the combined influence of the traffic
and heat of the sun good road surface
was produced. A macadam road of as
phalt rock was then made which gave
very good results, and finally In 1854
portion of the Rue Bergere was laid
in Paris of compressed asphalt ON a
concrete foundation. In 1858 still
larger sample was laid. and from that
time 1t has been laid year by year In
Paris. From Paris 1t extended to Lon
don, being laid on Threadneedle street
in 1869 and Cheapside In 1870 and In
successive years on other streets.-Mu-
nicipal Journal and Engineer.

There never has been a time when
the individual has stood for SO much

never been a time when individuality

amazing rewards. There never has

or did exert so much Influence as at
present. There Is no individual today
so insignificant that. II he became the
medium of new or potent ideal. he
would be prevented by uncomfortable
conditions from expressing his idea
and reaplng his just reward.
In all ages up to this man has been,
owing to his limitations Of physical
force, a plaything Of conditions. slave

A DARWlNlAN THEORY.
Why the Drowning Man Always
Throws Up His Hands.

The usual idea that a drowning man
catching at straws" Is not altogether
satisfactory. A possible explanation
has lately been suggested, and this
supposes that the drowning man. losing
oil his acquired habits and even some
Of those inherited from more recent
parents, in his terror goes back to the
distinctive movements Of his arboreai
ancestors, and the movements, Of the
drowning man are those of frighten-
ed ape seeking safety by clinging to
the nearest tree.
The movement Is certainly instinc-
tive, for it can only be eliminated by
considerable training and voluntary
efforts, and yet II is fatal to the indi-
ridual, for the specific gravity Of no
human body is so nearly that of water
that the removal of the arms from the
supporting fluid at once sinks the face
called cramps" the victim, often a
highly trained swimmer. generally
throws up the hands. but these cases
are probably due to hear failure. and a
similar movement takes place on land
when the subject receives fatal heart
wound. and 1t is even common ex-
preston of shock or establishment. The
ordinary movements of walking or run
ming would keep mans face above
water, but these curious climbing
movements of both hands and feet
make floating impossible and are re
sponsible for many deaths by drown
ing.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

SILENCE You Can See.

There is no such thing as silence in
this world. 1t is an impossibility. That
is partly the reason why science has en-
abled us to see II.
The explanation of the paradox is
this Silence as we understand II. sim
ply means that there are sounds too
delicate or too loud for the ear to regis
ter. In other words, when We can't
hear anything we call that condition
"silence." But wherever you are there
are sounds around you. Even In the
deepest mine the mir vibrates and
makes sound. An instrument has
been Invented that will catch these
sounds and permit of the vibrations be-
ing represented pictorially on a screen,
and In that way you may see silence
and properly understand what II
means.
by comparing the pictures Of noises
with those of that condition of things
known as silence we gain an idea of the
difference between noisy night. for
Instance. and one when absolute ST.
,ence reigns." us the novelist puts 1t. II

iurbance at the time when everything
