Inspection Of Mines.

The commissioners spent the entire day
IN continuing their inspection of the
mines and the mining region about Scran-
ton They visited the ManVilIe cOlliery,
operated Jointly by the Delaware e. HUd-
son and the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western companies, in the forenoon ana
the afternoon was spent in riding through
the region on a special trolley car The
commission will spend Saturday in the
IN the evening
1t is possible that the commission may
make preliminary report on three
principal strike questions. They are the
increase in wages, a shorter work day
and the Weighing of coal After these
have been decided the commission can
take up all other questions without undue
haste. It is known that the commission
ers have this feature under cOnsidera-
ton, and il is very likely preliminary
report will be made
The commissioners were under ground
today for two hours and a half fhe
party consisted of thirteen persons, and
included six commissioners, the two as
sistant recorders, General Superintendent
Rose of the Delaware & Hudson company
General Superintendent Phillips of the
Delaware, LackaWanna & Western COM
pany, District President Nichols of the
Miners union, miner employed in the
Manville mine and one newspaper CORE
spondent, who represented the other
news gatherers.
The party which visited the mines yes
terday was too large, and for this reason
mine at one time was cut down. Recorder
Wright did not accompany the party, ow-
ing TO pressure of work in connection
with the investigation.

Miner working in Water.

The visitors were then taken 1900 feet
in another direction, to where a miner
was working in an dccumula ton of wa
ter. This miner was questioned principal
~ regarding the water He told of how
he takes ii out every morning before do
ing any mining, and also told the COM
miSsiOnerS what compensation he re-
ceives for doing it. He called attention
to the loose rock overhead. which made
bad roofing, it often falling and COM
pelling him to spend considerable time
in improving conditions about the breast.
In reply to a question as TO how much
he got for rennoving the rock, he said:
We take it out for the good of our
souls
After the commissioners, superintend-
ents and miners representatives had
asked innumerable questions. the party
journeyed up a plane or tunnel to the
second vein, which measures two feet
four inches to two feet ten INCHES in
thickness. At the end of one of the
chambers of this seam of coal the ar
bItrators were shown how the miners
drill a hole in the narrow space. The
visitors then returned to the surface
On the way TO the first breast immedi-
ately after being lowered to the bottom
of the shaft. which is about SIS feet from
the surface, superintendent Rose called
the commissioners attention to a train
of mine cars filled with coal. The rules
of the company require that there must
be six inches of topping on each car. The
cars exhibited were filled only to the
top edge of the sides. In commenting on
this to the commissioners, Mr.. Rose said

Asked Numerous Questions.

The arbitrator inspected practically the
entire underground workings. They asked
asked numerous questions of all men
they encountered in the gangwayS or
chambers, and did not seem to mind the
discomfort of the trip. The Manville IL
said to be one of the worst mines in this
region for the miners to work. The veins
of coal are not more than three feet
thinck. and the miner has a more diff
cult time in getting the coal out than
sioners walked several miles through the
gangWays and. owing TO the exceedingly
low roof, they had to do their tramDing
almost entirely in a STOPPING position
After the arbitrator had been in the
workings an hour Judge Gray decided
that his back ached enough, and he came
TO the surface, accompanied by Bishop
Spalding.
Altogether the commissioners inspected
three chambers where miners were at
work at the face of the breasts blasting
FOCAL. The first breast visited was 1000
feet from the foot of the shaft. There the
investigators found a miner and his
helper at work. General Wilson and
Messrs. Clark and Parker crawled into
the three-fOOt opening out of which the
coal was being taken
The miner was asked how much he
made a day, how many cars of coal he
was able to get out, how many hours he
worked. what he paid his helper, how
much he made per month before The
strike and numerous other questions that
might give the commissioners some idea
OF how to DrOceed

Although the silk cotton tree is ma
tive of South America, there is one
specimen Of it In Nassau, Bahama is
lands, that has fiourished wonderfully
and is one of the greatest curiosities
on the island. 1t was painted more
than 200 years ago by John Miller.
The roots seem to be Unable to find
their way down after the manner of
ordinary roots and so swell up like
great buttresses radiating round the
trunk Of the tree, rising from the
ground to a height of from six to
twelve feet. They reach out to irregu-
lar distances, gnaried and twisted in
the most curious fashion. They turn
and bend and double point in all
sorts Of unexpected ways and make
dark hollows and ravines, where the
darkies believe the elves and gnomes
make their home.
The great seed pods are filed with a
fine, soft fleece of silk, which the ma
tives use for filing their pillows and
mattresses. There are several speci-
mems of the tree on the island of New
Providence. but this one is monarch of
them all.

1t is superstition in some parts of
England that after a young couple
have departed for their honeymoon hot
water should be poured on the thresh-
old in order that other marriages may
follow. With this end in view the
brides girl friends will sometimes
drench the doorstep with boiling wa
ter from kettles heated for the purpose
of keeping the threshold warm, says
Home Notes.
In Iceland another plan is in vogue.
There the bride, on reaching her hus-
bands house, has to give a dinner
cooked with her own hands to show
how well she has been instructed in
the parental home. If she succeed in
pleasing the guests. her skill does not
only rebound to her own honor, but
also to that of her whole family, and
her sisters. having shared in her edu-
cational advantages. are considered
likely to make good wives.

How nigh Can a Balloon Misc Z

The altitude that may be attained
by balloon depends, first, upon its
size; secondly, upon the filling of gas,
and, thirdly, upon the weight being
carried. a balloon of ordinary size,
$4,000 cubic feet, carrying the smallest
weight-that is, one person-when filled
with Illuminating gas may reach 10000
feet, but when filled with hydrogen
$1,000 feet In order to ascend higher
we first of all need bigger balloon.
One may say it was a happy chance
that the ROYAL Meteorological institute
of Berlin was provided with a balloon
of the unusual dimensions Of 100000
cubic feet. The German emperor fur
nished $500 for making experiments
with IT. and the Meteorological iasti-
tute decided to make use of this OPP
portunity for studying the highest .e-
gions of atmosphere. Harper's Maya

The man eating fly of Central Amer
lea inhabits the low lying coast re-
gions and Is much dreaded by the ma.
tives for the fearful results which fol-
low its sting. Naturalists call it Lu.
ella hominiyora. The average speci-
men Is about a third of an inch long.
1t has a big head. with the eyes on
top. Its cheeks are a golden yellow
its abdomen dark blue with purple
bands, it's legs black, its wings unusu-
ally big, and they produce continuous
and loud buzzing when in motion.
The person bitten by this fly gets a
disease called myiasis. 1t generally
begins with an itching of the nose;
then that organ swells and bleeds, next
1t becomes liberated, and in these ul-
GERS may be found the larvae of the fly.
The whole face becomes swollen; cry
sipelas sets in, followed by meningitis
and death. One man l knew, said a
traveller in that country, shot himself
after he had been bitten rather than
face the tortures he knew were GER
tain. Cure is difficult. Simultaneous
injections of chloroforln sometimes do
good, but as often fail. One man l
heard of was cured by lemon juice in

All white men who visit regions in
Africa infested by the tsetse fly have
much to say about it. There is now
evidence that the tsetse is moving
gradually to more northern regions,
and the cause is supposed to be that
South Afric, Is depleted of its large
game, much OF which is moving north
ward to get away from hunters, and
the tsetse fly is going with it.
The insect is cnly little larger than
the ordinary house fly, and it resem-
bless the honeytee. Its sting is hardly
as annoying as fhat OF the mosquito,
but near the base of the proboscis is a
little bag which contains its poison. 1t
lives on the blood of animals, and only
a few species are fatally affected by
its bite. Cattle, horses and dogs, how
ever, cannot live when bitten by the
tsetse fly. Natives who herd cattle
and travellers who depend on horses
and oxen must avoid the fly regions or
lose their stock. For human beings its
bite has no serious consequences.

The trouble with Gen. Bragg's refer
ence to making whistles cut of pigs
tails was that he did not annotate it,
The General is an adept at the art of
making whistles out of pigs tails; for
has he not conjured democrats with
the name of Grover Cleveland for
some years past? Then, too, it is a
favorite art with the governor of the
Generals own state, who has for the
last year and a half been putting
the republican party to the work of
needed reform. Had these things
been known to the Cubans, they would
readily see that the General really in
tended to show how eerg sasy he
thought it would be for Uncle Sam to
make whistles out of pigs tails.

Private Gambling In Russia.

There is a good deal of gambling III
society in England, but it is nothing to
what goes on in Russia, says the Lon
don Candid Friend. Vint, preference
and roulette are the principal games.
The second is the most popular in army
circles, while many ladies of the high
est rank keep roulette tables and have
regular coverings" on which play goes
on for very high stakes. AS is usually
the case mt roulette, the bank mostly
wins, and the hostess takes good care
to keep the bank.
One of the most notorious of these
private dens is run by two ladies Of
the highest rank and connections. Only
the fine feur of the society OF st. Pc
tersburg are admitted. and the entree
is eagerly sought. The stakes are high,
the plunging often desperate, and men
have been known to leave these salons
in financial condition which APP
proaches ruin. Tie princesses, howev-
er, make handsome income out Of the
bank, and no one thinks the worse Of
them.

Senator Villas.

We like the tone of Senator Villas
letter to democrats very much better
than what has generally come from
those democrats who have been with
the republicans during the last two
presidential campaigns. We did not
like Mr. Cleveland's Tlden Club talk
lie spoke of the defeats the party has
sustained since 1896 These defeats are
facts; but he should have the sense TO
know that these later defeats were lesser
ones, than the party suffered in 1891.
Since 1896 the party has steadily re-
gained grolnd lost by Mr.. Cleveland.
Bryan saved the democratic party from
utter ruin 1t is to Bryan the democra-
tic party owes its present existence.
Mr.. Villas may not believe this. but he
has tine good sense to say nothing about
it one way or the other, and TO base his
plea for unity of the party upon the
ground that who ever it was that made
the mistake in 1876 and 1900, twas done
in sincerity Of purpose; that the money
issue no longer eonfronts us, and 50 can
not now divide us This is true from
Senator Villas standpoint. for, in his
letter, he shows sincere devotion to
the interests of the people against fav-
ored classes. But if the Senator viii
cast his eyes eastward he will
see many men claiming to be demo
Gratis who care nothing for those princi-
plies of democracy for which Senator
villas pleads, and he can see those very
men trying 10 get control of the demo.
cratic party And if he would then
look about Wisconsin he wouEi find
some democrats here who ale not q bit
suspicious of those Eastern democrats
and who see 40 objection To tU:nlng
over the control 60 them.

Death of Dr. Adams.

DR.. G. K Adams former president of
Wisconsin University. passed away Sat
urday evening at Resllands, Cal, after
a long illness. Mr. Adams is known to
many citizens of Wausau especially
among those who attended the Univer-
SHY while he was president from Sep
TENDER, 1892, To October, 1901. His life
was fair demonstration of what
young man can DO in gaining an educa-
ton and making his mark in the world.
DIR. Adams early life was one of strug-
giles and perseverance, and beginning
with the common schools by hard work
in earning money to carry him through,
he passed from one educational institu-
ton to another until, when he had fin
ished, he was finally madt dean of Cor
nell University, and later its professor,
and at the time of his death Dir. Adams
was recos f d as one of D. leading
educators of the world.
In 1892 DR.. Adams resigned the
presidency Of Cornell University with
the purpose Of thenceforih devoting
himself to literary work, principally in
the writing of history; but during the
summer he received several invitations
to resume his educational labors, one
of which was from the regents of the
University of Wisconsin, and this he
finally accepted, entering upon the
duties of the position in September of
that year. The wisdom of the choice
of the regents was soon apparent, for
the first year of his administration the
number of students increased from ,092
to ,2s9, and during the collegiate year
of 1861, it had risen to 1850. Many
important improvements were made
after the accession of Dr. Adams to the
presidency; the faculty was strength
ened and enlarged, the courses of
study, especially for advanced work,
were broadened and deepened, the
popularity of the university in the state
was greatly enhanced, and it now
occupies position among the half
dozen great educational institutions of
the United States.
During the nine years of his service
at the head of the university the enroll
ment grew to a total of 2,7l5 students,
l19 professors and other members of
the staff instructors, and courses num-
boring into the thousands, so numerous,
in fact, that no accurate record can be
kept of them.

vAGARlEs OF THE TIDES.
Curious Currents In the Ocean and
Its Offshoots.

There are as many vagaries in the
waters as in the winds. Why, for in
stance, should three great ocean cur
rents send their warm waters across
the wide Pacific, Atlantic and around
the Cape of Good Hope? There have
been many theories advanced to solve
the problem of their origin. but all
have proved fallacious. Other and
equally mysterious currents exist in
well nigh all parts of the world. The
tides are so erratic in different parts of
the world that one hesitates TO accept
the theory that the moon controls them
in all eases.
1t is on record that the sea has run
for weeks OUT of the Java sea through
the strait of Sunda and thence back
again for a like period without any per-
ceptible rise or fall during those times.
Then there is the equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea, the
ever flowing current TO the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold stream
flowing from the icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia aad along the American coast
to the extreme end of Florida, the con-
tinual current running with velocity
of from four to five knots an hour
through the strait of Gibraltar into
the Mediterranean sea, the swift cur
rent running across the rocks and
shoals off the end of Billion island
which apparently starts from nowhere
and ends somewhere in the vicinity of
the saIhs place, and the current which,
starting half way up the China sea,
runs from two to three knots an hour
to the northeast and finally ends alb
ruptly OFF the north end of Luzon.
Then we have those tidal vagaries
known the wosld over as bores. Resi-
dents on Severn side are familiar with
them, and those that run up the HUI
eli and Irawaddy rivers from side
to side in zigzag shape till they reach
their limit. often tearing ships from
their anchorage, originate nobody
knows where or why. The rush of wa
tiers in the bay of Fundy is nothing
but a huge bore sweeping all before it
up to the head of the bay till the waters
have risen to the height of fifty or six
ty feet Off Southampton we have the
double tides. while at Singapore it has
been observed for days at time that
there has been but the one rise and
fall in the twenty-four hours. The tides
may be and very often appear as
though they were ''moonstruck," but
they certainly are not controlled with
hard and fast rules by thai or any 9TH
er body.-LC ndon Shipping World
