The plane or plano lens is a plain, flat piece of glass or pebble of equal thickness and density; clear, perfectly transparent and free from blemish or flaw. It does not change, enlarge or diminish an object. Is but little used in eyeglass or spectacle by the legiti- mate optician-only for eye protection from dust or wind, and for appearance before a perfect eye when it's mate is defective.
 This is the first of a series of six talks on lenses. Next lens described will be the plus sphere-a lens worn by three of five glass wearers; used for the correction of Hypercpia or far sight.

tion was then referred to by Everett
Warren counsel for the Erie Co., who
asked the witness if it were not true
that over so per cent. of the accidents
are attributable to the anxiety of the
miner to get out of the mine at much
earlier hour than noon.
The witness was not prepared to say
that that was the percentage. David
Wilcox counsel for the Delaware "
Hudson Co, next took DIR. Roberts In
hand and was cross-examining him on
the inequality of wages and the life
insurance risks when the commission
took the usual noon recess.
Much of the early part of the afternoon
session was consumed in the reading of
extracts from DIR. Roberts book for the
purpose of placing them in the records oil
the commission. These extracts referred
to the rates of wages. the character and
size of coal veins and numerous other
local conditions about the mines.
DIR. Roberts was followed on the stand
by several physicians. who testified to the
amount of illness among the mine wOrh-
ers.
DIR. John OMalIey of Scranton, said
that miners asthma. rheumatism and
lumbago are very common among mine
workers. Nine-tenths of the miners he
has treated suffered from miners asth-
ma. This disease. he said, is caused by
coal dust. powder smoke or vitiated air.
In post mortems he had seen lungs of
miners as black anthracite coal

sage in House.

Montpelier, VT, Nov. 20.-By a vote
of rs to 4, the Senate, this afternoon,
ordered to a third reading the high
license and local option bill submitted
by the majority of the temperance
committee, and the bill will come up
on the question of its passage, tomor-
row. The minority members endeavOr-
ed to substitute the Battell dispensary
bill. but withdrew their motion and
endeavored to amend the local option
bill by substituting a simple referen-
dunn instead of that in which the date
is given when the bill shall go into
effect. but both amendments were
voted down.
The high license bill was taken up
in the House at 3 o'clock, after the
cattle commission bill had been ordered
to a third reading, and discussed I'M
til o'clock, the minority members OF
the House temperance committee try
ing the same tactics as those of the
Senate minority. Without action an
adjournment was taken until tomorrow
morning.
The feeling prevails, tonight, that
the majority license bill will pass the
House. The committee on adjournment
has looked over the business on hand
and agreed that an adjournment can
be taken at the usual time, Wednes-
day. The Senate, however, has adopt
ed the joint resolution to come back
after Thanksgiving.

TRANS-PACIEIC CABLE,
The Commercial Pacific Co. Overcom
ing All Obstacles.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Clarence H.
Mackey president of the Commercial
Pacific Cable Co.: George G.. Ward.
vice president. and VIM. w. Cook, gen.
eral counsel for the company. had an
interview. TO-DAY. with the attorney
general with respect to the conditions
prescribed by President Roosevelt for
constructing a trans-Pacific cable.
These conditions were approved by the
President in July last. since which
time the company has not officially
notified the government as to its in
tention or willingness to accept them.
Today, however. Mr.. Mackey ex-
planned that the delay was caused by
protracted negotiations to secure "a
landing place in China to comply with
the Presidents condition that an in
dependent American line should be
constructed from Manila to Hong
Kong, thus giving an all-American
through line to the Asiatic country.
The cable company now announces its
ability and intention to construct a
line from Manila to Shanghai, "a dis
tance OF about 1900 miles, and to have
the same completed within year.
Owing to the claim by the Pacific
cable people that as they read one of
the other conditions it will probably
prevent the, necessary relations with
existing lines in China to secure the
transmission of American messages
to interior points. that provision is be-
ing re-cast to obviate misunderstand-
ings and will be submitted to the
President in a modified form within
a few days.

WILL NOT SUPPLY DEMAND.
Salem Turned Down by Baer of Phila
delphia and Reading.

Salem. Mass, Nov. 20.-An effort by
the Central Labor Union of Salem to
purchase coal from President Baer of
the Philadelphia & Reading Coal Co.
has failed. and the attempt of the
union 10 bring down the price by such
q step has not succeeded. Acting from
the Central Labor Union, George N.
Wadleigh, Nov. IS. wrote to President
Bacr stating that the local coal deal
ers were charging 50 a ton for coal
here. while at other places within a
distance Of 10 miles it was being sold
as low as 1925. Mr.. Wadleigh asked
President Baer the following ques-
ton:
Will you allow coal to be sold at
retail from the Pennsylvania pier in
this city with the understanding that
consumers will do their own carting,
the total price of coal to be 81 per ton
or less"
The letter of Mr.. Wadleigh was re-
ferred to the Philadelphia & Reading
sales agent in Boston from whom the
following reply has been received:
The small amount of coal which we
have beer able to obtain in New Eng
land since the strike has been diStri-
buted on previous obligations. which
will require a long time in the future
to cover.
Il regret for this reason we cannot
accept any new orders nor take up the
subject of your letter just now. We
feel that when the dealers in Salem
succeed in obtaining a supply of coal
from the parties of whom they have
been buying they will make reason
able prices for coal"

THOUSANDS Persisted.
Guatemalan Indians the Victims OF Re
cent Volcanic Disturbances.

San Francisco, Nov. 2O.-The first
of the refugees from the devastated
lands of Guatemala arrived, Wednes-
day, on the Pacific Mail steamer City
of Para. They fled from their PLAN
tations in fear for their lives. The
refugees confirm stories of the loss of
life. They say that the victims for the
most part are Indians. They had not
heard Of any white people being lost.
Thousands of Indians were asphyXi-
ated or buried in the sand. Miles of
plantations are under ashes and abso-
lutte ruin. Bands of robbers are now
swarming the desolated sections rob-
bling and numbering refugees on the
road and looting the abandoned and
desOlate plantations.
The people left behind on the planta.
tions, it is said, are in danger of death
from starvation for the food supply
has been cut off and there is no way to
send in supplies.

ACTIVE COMPETITION.
England Working to Compete With U.
S. in Many Lines of Manufacture.

New York, Nov. 20.-The Tribune's
London special cable says:
While the talk about the American
invasion has ceased in the press, there
is no lack of evidence of active compe-
tition in many lines of manufacture.
The provincial hotels are filled with
American commercial travellers and
agents of engineering firms. and there
is large increase in the number of
American branch houses established
for permanent operations iii the United
Kingdom.
The results of this destructive COM
petition are noticeable in the midland
towns, like Northampton and Leicester,
which have been dependent for their
prosperity upon the boot and she trade.
There has been a marked declire lin the
production for both the home and for
eign trade. The streets Of those towns
are filled with idlers, and the shoe
makers wages are falling. Leicester is
more fortunate than Northampton
since it has the hosiery industry, which
has not been seriously affected by the
increased production abroad, but it has
q large working force of shoemakers,
which is now menaced with the loss of
employment Northampton is in a sor-
ry plight from the shrinkage of bust
ness.
The fortunes of these towns might
have been retrieved if the shoe manu-
facturers had kept abreast of American
enterprise and equipped their factories
with Iabor-saving appliances for max
ing holes. clamping eyelets, sewing on
buttons and for other purposes. They
with the means for cheapening their
product, and American boots and shoes
are now sold in England at prices
which cannot be met, either at Leices-
ter or Nortlia mpton.
