Lave Stream q.

1t is scientifically reported that the

were so hot twelve years later that
steam was issuing from the cracks
and crevices, while the lava beds from
the eruption of Etna in 1877 were
found to be steaming hot just below
the top crust as late as 1910. But still
more remarkable are the scientific re
ports of the volcano JoruIIo, in MeXi-

be serious blow to the trusts. We
have no idea that Henderson is serious
in his declination. His object is
doubtless to warn the trusts that the
country is aroused against them, and
that they must open their treasure
boxes and debauch the electorate. Since
the Republican leaders sold the party
to the trusts in 1896, the trusts have
borne the expense of maintenance and
elections. Republicans in populous
and doubtful States have ceased to
contribute for the expense of party
canvasses. The trusts did that, and
in exchange demanded obedience of
their creatures. hfTe speeches of Roose-
velt criticizing the trusts offended the
owners of tnG party, and they shut off
supplies until She Republican leaders
brought Roosevelt to terms. Yester-
G"y's conference was the result, and
Roosevelt will be permitted to continue
talking and the party leaders are to
continue to serve the trusts. This is
the Republican situation.

A Cure I'm the Failure.

"Did you ever notice that, as rule
the persons who seek death and are
rescued from the grave never court the
society of the dark angel again?"
The propounder Of the question was
a hospital physician, and he proceeded
to EXPLAIN
What | mean is that of all the per-
sons who attempt suicide and are foil
ed but few try self murder a second
time. Probably one half, if not more,
Of all those who try to kill themselves

who leap into the dark river a second
time is exceedingly small. l have tried
to discover the reason for this from the
lips of those who have gone through

met with success.
'It is queer that persons, after devot-
Ing weeks and months to a considera-
ton Of so momentous a question and
deciding to end their existence, should
when foiled, declare that they We're
fools and swear never to do the like
again. Yet this is what is done in a
large majority of instances. Those who
have stared at death seem to live life

Crows an Weather Propbet..

The belief that two crows are hap
py omen~and that they appear to warn
men from disaster is very ancient.
Alexander the Great was thus saved
in Egypt by two crows, and King
Alonzo would assuredly have perished
in 1147 had it not been for two crows,
one of which perched on the PROV and
the other on the stern of his ship. so
pointing the PROV of the royal barge
safely into port. Crows and rocks are
very much alike. 1t is said that when
rocks desert a rookery it forebodes the
DOWNFALL OF the family on whose prop
erty it Is.
They are also credited with being
good weather prognosticatOrs. When
the weather is about to be very bad,
they stay as near home as possible,
but when they foreknow that it will
be set fair they start off in the morn
ing right away to a distance where
they have an instinct that the food
they need is plentiful. Again, If the
rocks are seen venturing into the
streets of town or village it is sure
sign Of an approaching snowstorm.-

Professional Envy.

An Italian philosopher has amused
himself by constructing a scale of de-
grees for the measurement of profess
slonal envy. The highest point in this
envy measurer is ten.
Architects are happily placed lowest
on the scale. They register only i;
advocates and priests and military
men are ranged at 2, and in the as
cending scale he gives us professors
Of science and literature, 4; journal
lists, s; authors, s; physicians, 8; ac-
tors and actresses, 10. The small
amount of envy among architects is
held to be due to their precise, severe
and rigid studies. The same thing ap-
plies to advocates.
Among the clergy envy is found
mostly in preachers. In the military
career envy is quiescent in time Of
peace, but can become acute in time
Of war. Envy makes men of science
and literature lead solitary lives, diff
dent of each other. Among physicians
envy is still more prevalent, and they
do not spare their colleagues, often
terming them charlatans In the the
atrical world envy reaches its acute
form, vanity playing great part in
its production,

P6RlLS OF CIVILIZATION.

The German emperor in a recent
utterance for the information of his
people declared that Electric cars are
the enemies of humanity" Neverthe-
less and Notwithstanding, many people
in this town would like to see electric
cars on some of the streets of Tucson.
The ierman emperor's statement is
too sweeping. 1t is true the electric
car in the hands of reckless men is a
veritable Car of Juggernaut. But the
same objection may be made as re.
CARDS steam railroads. A great many
persons are killed every year by the
collision Of trains, owing to the care
lessness of trainmen, or misleading
orders forwarded by train dispatchers.
Excessive heat causes railroad tracks
to expand, resulting in disaster. Acct
dents at grade crossings are of fre-
Quent occurrence; yet, despite the enor-
nous tribute in human life which the
steam railroad exacts every year
from unfortunate mankind, nobody
thinks of denouncing steam, cars as
enemies of humanity"
Electric cars kill or MAIN many
persons every year, and it seems al
most impossible to devise any system
of regulation which will insure abso-
lutte safety to the public But, not
withstanding the heavy list of casual
ties. many of which could be avoided
by ordinary prudence, nobody insists
that the electric car and the steam
railroad shall be abandoned and the
world return to the stage coaches vi
our forefathers. The fact is, pro-
gress means danger. The residents
of big cities are beset with perils on
every side. The man who is not run
down by an electric car or automobile
may come into contact with a "live
Wire" and be electrocuted through nc
fault of his own. He may be suffo-
Gated to death by sewer gas or illumir-
ating gas. He may find the water
which municipalities supply him a

How Coal Was First Named.

Curi0usly, the word coal was in use
long before as well as long after the
commencement of the coal trade, with
a meaning quite different from that
W hich it now has. The term originally
belonged to wood fuel and was applied
In particular to wood which had been
charred, or what is now called char
coal.
When the trade in mineral coal be-
gan, this was usually distinguished by
the singular name of sea coal 1t
would seem that from having been
gathered in early times on the sea-
shore, more especially of Northumber-
land, along with seaweed and other
wreckage cast up by the waves, this
peculiar substance, was supposed to be
of marine origin. From this circum-
stance and its resemblance to wood
coal in color and burning properties it
obtained the name of sea coal by
which it was SO long and so widely
known. Then in the course of time,
as the new fuel gained upon and su-
perseded the old, the simple name Of
coal became universally transferred

POLITICS IN THE STRIKE.

The Republican bosses seem to be
anxious to give the present coal strike
a political turn. No other construc-
ton can be put on their attitude when
one reads in we'll authenticated dis
patches that two notorious political
bosses of the most prominent States
in the Union seem to know all about
the inside workings of the strike
These bosses are Senators Platt and
Quay. The former said a few days
ago that the strike would end in two
weeks. On being questioned closely
he would give no further information,
but repeated his former remark that
he knew the strike would be settled
within two weeks. Boss Quay of
Pennsylvania indorsed Platt. He re-.
peated that the strike would be ended
within the time mentioned by Platt.
Now if there is no politics in the
affair. how is it that two commanding
Republican politicians seem to know
all about it? Will it be a coup TO
secure the miners votes in Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia?
