AIR IN COAL MINES.
Its Weight Exceeds That of the Coal
Mined, According to n British
Authority.

In the operations of coal mining,
which, in the United Kingdom alone
produce something over 235,000,O 900
tons a year, and find employment
for nearly three-quarters of a million
of people there is nothing of more
vital Importance than the continual
supply of sufficient volume of fresh
air for diluting the noXious gases
prevalent in the mines and for en-
abling the underground workers to
breathe q comparatively pure at
moSphere. 1t may be said of modern
mines that the efforts to provide this
air have, in the majority of cases,
been attended with so much success
that the atmosphere of modern
coal mine is superior to the at
mosphere of the forge or factory on
the surface. The particular amounts
of air required at the various col
lieries depend somewhat upon the
nature of the mine, whether non
gaseous, or slightly gaseous, or very
gaseous; also upon the number of
human beings and animals employed
in the mine; and on the amount of
coal produced, which is not always in
proportion to the number of persons
engaged therein.
Taking all classes of coal mines, a
fair and liberal consumption is from
500 to 1000 cubic feet of air per
minute for each human being en-
ployed in the mine. Authorities diff
fer very much as to the quantity, and
even the lesser of the amounts stat
ed will, in many quarters, be consid-
cred excessive; but they are not eX-
aggerated amounts, and there are ex-
ceptional cases where even the larger
quantity could. with advantage, be
greater than less. Taking the total
number of persons employed in and
about the mines of the United
Kingdom at three-quarters of a mil
lion, nearly 100000 of this number
will be employed underground, and
the consumption of the air, on the
lower basis stated, for such an army
of workers will amount to something
like $4,000 million cubic feet per
hour, representing in terms of
weight more than half a million
tons-Cassier's Magazine.

THE OX-HORN INDUSTRY.

times it is the hatrack consisting of
two OX-hOrns beautifully polished
and fitted together at the butts upon
a small wooden board ready for

time it is small three-legged stool,
of which each leg is great horn.
Again it is a gun rack, where the

he will supply you with easy chairs,
arm chairs and rockers, of which the
entire frames are made of horns. Of
similar construction are castles, mu-
sic racks, picture frames, wall tro-
pixies and baby cribs.
The industry was started about Is
years ago by some poor Russian
Jews near the kosher slaughter
house. Before that time the horns
were sold with the hoofs to the glue
makers and button manufacturers.
They brought but a few cents a
pound and the glue buyers had no
trouble in getting all the raw ma

The manufacturers first prepared
the horns by boiling and using aka

could secure better results by treat

IT WAS one of those early April days
/ when the soft air blew up the valley,
stirring and swelling the young buds
on the trees. You could almost seethe
grass grow, and, if you listened, you
could surely hear the frogs, even while
the sun shone, piping loud and shrill
by the river. DIR. Lea, coming back
from long round of visits among the
miners of Dry Branch, felt this spring
air stir the young blood in his veins.
The red birds from the beeches on the

while the water as it rippled over the
stones below echoed softly: Belinda"
AS he came around the turn of the road
he saw the Belinda of his thoughts
standing by the gate, and feeling If
resistibly drawn he turned towards
her.
"Give me some of those violets, Miss
Belinda" he said, beseechingly, put

she had just been gathering.
What do you want them for?" she
asked, teasingly, holding them behind

that belongs to me?" and she opened
her black eyes in feigned surprise.

Prize for Potato Drying.

1t would seem to be a very simple
matter to dry potatoes, but in Ger
many, where potatoes are now ex-
tensively used for making alcohol
and for feeding cattle, prize OF
10000 marks, about $1,000, has been
offered to the inventor of the best
method of drying potatoes on large
scale The cost of transportation is
enormously reduced by drying, as
may be seen from the fact that three
and a half tons of fresh potatoes
yield only one ton of dried ones.
In consequence of the recent devel-
opments in the use of potatoes, Ger
man farmers have gone extensively
into the raising OF them.-Youth's

When the sentry comes in from
