COKE SHORT IN IRON REGION.
Some Furnaces Have Closed and Others
Are on the Verge of Stopping.

some Furnaces 7aNeClosed ana Otners
Are on the Verge Of Stopping.
Reading, Pa, Oct. 2O.-The shortage
of coke for the iron furnaces in this
section is becoming so acute that un-
less relief comes speedily it is feared
that several stacks will have to bank
up.
The Reading Iron company is short
and the supply at Emaus furnace is
about exhausted. The Keystone and
Temple furnaces have very little on
hand. Pottstown and other stacks
are in a similar fix. Lebanon is short
and, in fact, the entire valley is suffer
ing. Rohesonia was compelled to shut
down.
During the last few days It has been
a sort Of hand-to-mouth supply, and in
order 10 keep the stacks going it was
necessary TO transfer the stock from
one stack to another. Il was hoped
that these furnaces would be able to
continue in operation, but it seems i'm
possible TO secure sufficient coke.
The losses sustained by the furnaces
through the strike in the coal regions
are serious. The stacks affected are
three belonging TO the Empire Iron and
Steel company two IN this city AMI
che ~ TiDton). two at Sheridan, one
a. Birdsboro and one at Leesport
I These used anthracite exclusively
Besides the furnaces in the Schuyl
kill valley. there are seven in the lie
high valley that are forcei to blow
out for the same reason.

LET us look in cool and collected
manner at the history ofth present an
thracite coal strike, and the attitude of
both parties towards it. Have not the
Republican leaders, night and day, in
season and out, been striving to settle the
unfortunate affair, and have not the
Democrats been doing their best to pre-
vent a settlement? Thi- is not merely an
assertion, but it is a state Of affairs that is
apparent 10 every one. In casting vote
in November it would be well to choose
a candidate who represents peace and
prosperity rather than calamity and dis
aster.

APATHY has more than Cnce brought
disaster to the Republicans. Overconfi-

An active intelligent canvass should be
put up, and every vote which can be had
should be brought to the polls. A Repub-

age to the Democrats for the campaign Of
1904, as we'll as hamper the Republicans

LEARNIxG TO TALK VEIL.

Much learning makes some people mad. and it makes some others queer. President G. Stanley Hall of Clark uni versity is quoted as saying that slang aids the boy or girl of fourteen tO nine teen years to acquire fiuency; that when the emotional side of a boy or girl is being developed during adolescence. midway between the period when speech comes slowly and they lack the power of expression and the time when they begin to express themselves more freely and easily, the use of slang is essential and ought to be allowed free play. If a youngster tells of "hunch, ' or straight tip" or a pipe" he would not have him corrected and given stiff substitute.
 Certainly not. The young should be encouraged to talk all the slang they can get hold of. Then when they have become proficient in the slang language, with all that it carries with it, they will be eager to drink at the well of English undefiled.''

GooD GUNS AND coon GUNNERs

G0OD GUNS AND coon GUNNERS.
 President Roosevelt's idea that it is a good thing for the gunners of the navy to learn in peace-time how to shoot straight in war-time will be gen. erally approved by all who think the United States ought to be prepared to defend itself. He is convinced that the finest ships and the most powerful guns will be worth comparatively little in war with any European power if the men behind the guns are only indiffer- ently proficient in firing, and he pro- poses to have the navy devote so much attention to target practice and to in- cite so much interest in it among the men as to enable them to excel the men of any other navy in the world in the use of their guns. When this is accom- plished he believes that the United States can enter with confidence on any naval war into which circumstances may force it, even though the opposing country may have a navy that Is stronger in the number of ships and men.
 By direct instructions from the Presi- dent the department will resume the practice which has been discontinued for some years, of giving prizes to the men on the various ships in the navy who make the best records in target practice. The department is now giv- ing attention to the drafting of an or der to put this system into operation. The effect will be to stimulate the in- terest of the men and to develop on each vessel gun crews which can be de- pended upon to make high average of hits.
 Good guns and good gunners go we'll together.

The com- pany made the concessions advised by the business men and satisfied the com mittee that it was willing to do all that it could be fairly asked to do toward settling the strike. The strikers, on their part, made the reasonable conces- sion that only men employed on the railroad shall be put on the committee which may wait on the railroad off, cials.

ELECTREo GRAPF.GRoWTNG.

A wine producer in Germany has been making an interesting experiment in the use of electricity in growing grapes. He planted four fields with native grapevines in a district that was in- fested with phylloxera. Two os these fields he treated with electricity. and he claims that the grapes in those fields were much better developed than those in the fields where no such aid was given. His plan was as follows: In a two and one-half lfacre field he erected five tall masts, the tops of which were provided with an arrangement for ac- cumulating atmospheric electricity. All these accumulators were connected with each other by wires. There was also a network of wires buried in the earth about one and one-half feet below the surface. The accumulators were con- nected with this network, and the SldpeNltIeo "eIe e'iau ee'Sii CoiAheCtcu' Wy a wire attacked to the main root Lr stem, with the net. This electrically treated field. it is claimed. produced more and better grapes than did any of the other fields cultivated under the same conditions, except that there was no electrical apparatus.
 Perhaps by and by we shall see cleo tric wines advertised.
