CGuntry's Largest Mines.

Calamity Occurred In One of the
COuntry's Largest Mines.
The mine at Johnstown, Pa, in
which the recent explosion occurred
whereby many lives were lost. is one
of the largest coal mines in the United
States. according to the statement Of
officials. says the New York World,
From the entrance in the hill across
the river to the one ut Mill creek is Il
distance of three and threequarter
miles.
The Klondike section. in which the
explosion occurred, is about two miles
from the Mill creek entrance. The
mine is divided into large number of
headings, levels and sections. The
sections run off to the left and right of
the headings and are known as rights
and lefts by the miners.
The men who escaped are familiar
with the mine. They have spent years
working in it; otherwise they could
never have reached the surface. Lights
were out, and there was no way for
them to find their way to the top had
they not known the mine perfectly.

PETER AS A NOVELIST.

Ex-senator From Kansas to Write q
Book on Economic Questions.
A striking exception to the rule that
a statesman out of political job is
out Of the world is found in the case
Of ex-senator w. A. PETER Of Kansas
now residing in Washington, says the
Kansas City Journal. At present Mr.
PETER is devoting his time to writing
a series of reviews Of certain periods
Of American history.
For some time past he has had in
mind writing a work dealing seriously
with questions Of labor and capital
but has lately reached the conclusion
that to be of practical benefit work
of this sort should be in the form of a
novel, somewhat on the order of Bel
lamy's Looking Backward" and
among the works that he will produce
during the coming fall and winter will
be a novel on the subject aforesaid
Such, then, is the real PETER, a man
Of literary parts and scholarly tastes,
mild and conservative.

Rrnin-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe.
tent authorities. They have dis.
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food Is needed for brain,
another for muscles, aud still an.
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but 1t will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be. Its nutri-
ment Is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their

NEW CATTLE PUNCHER
How an Electric Device Drives
Steers to Slaughter.
SAVES BRUIsING OF THE BEEF.

Work Is Done In One-haff the Time
and With Half the Exertion by q
Novel Invention of a Kansas City
Man Approved of by an Armour
Official.
The employees of packing company
In Kansas City now employ electricity
to drive the cattle into the beef beds
instead of Shouts, clubs, whips and
prods, says the New York Herald.
The application Of electricity is made
by two insulated wires connected with
the light wires over the catching pen
and the knocking pens. The current
passes through a stick and connects
with two brass points on the end.
"Punchers" Is the name given the
sticks. There are two punchers, each
six feet long, in the catch pen and five
four feet long in the knocking pens.
The insulated wires are about twenty
feet long, thus covering a distance In
the pens of about thirty feet each.
One hundred and twenty-five velts OF
electricity are turned on. 1t Is enough
to make a sharp, singing sensation
without leaving mark or a bruise on
the beef. 1t is said fifty volts would be
as effective.
The work is done in one-half the time
and with half the exertion. The effect
on the steer of the magic touch is
amusing to. see. A steer touched on
the left hip Immediately throws his
hind quarters as far as he can to the
right. He cocks one ear straight ahead
and one straight back, switches bis
tail and starts straight ahead, not car
ing for a second shock.
There is a look of surprise In his
eyes, and he seems to know that all
the trouble lies in the end Of that stick.
He doesn't stop to get mad or howl.
He has urgent business at the other
end Of the pen. That is exactly where
the drivers and knockers want him.
1t completely does away with all
back rushes and dragging in with
chains, for just as long as the puncher
is behind the steer Is just as far as he
can get in front. The saving Of time
and Of bruised meat is also an item to
be considered.
This novel instrument Is the inven-
ton Of L. e. Unroe, the machinist in
the beef beds, who has made several
other useful improvements in the ma
chinery.
The Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
company has been using these punch
ers about month. An Armour official
has also viewed the puncher in use
and speaks highly of the improved
method.
Superintendent ]. L. Sterrett says:
1.-The cattle puncher is a great money
saver as we'll as an instrument for
saving breath, muscle and morals.
Many actual dollars are saved be-
cause bruised beef is kept at the low
est minimum ever reached"
