Grave Discussion Of

germs. He asks because, II so, lin
the case Of a man with a mustache
imprinting a kiss on the lips Of an
other person the miscreant might
easily implant the seeds of disease
and perhaps death" Thinking of
these things. and of the welfare of his
numerous yet expectant family, he in
quires: Should | be justified on
sanitary grounds in requesting men
with mustaches to desist?'
1t may be doubted whether any
problem of equal Importance and in
terest has ever been pronounced since
that little affair of the serpent and
the apple. The study of sani-
tary science, we fear, has been by
poets too much neglected. When Mar

From this time on the trade rapidly
Increased, canals and gravity roads

motives on their advent. One of the
first locomotives used in this country
was for the purpose of hauling anthra-
cite.
The process of mining anthracite coal
consists of two methods-stripplng and
closed work. Stripping is the process
where the coal lies near the surface
of the ground as 1t does I'm many in
stances in the anthracite field The
closed work Is that done under ground,
or at the bottom Of a shaft. Owing to
the character of the deposits the room
and pillar system is employed. When
the shaft cannot be placed SO rs TO
reach the lowest point of the deposit,
Tn coal below is reached by inside or
blind shafts or inside slopes. These
shafts. which are sometimes sunk TO
depth Of over 1000 feet, usually have
several compartments, one for the
pumpway and ladder and two or more
for holsting. \ common size Of the
hosting compartments is 7Xl2 feet
The coal Is brought to the bottom Of
the shaft from the inside or blind shafts
10y means of small cars. and In some in
stances sheet iron chutcs, according to
the inclination of the shaft. according
as the blind shaft slopes up or down
from the bottom of the shaft from the
surface.
Anthracite Is mined with hand rotary
drills and 10y black blasting powder.
Dynamite or giant powder is used for
rock work, sometimes for driving
gangways. and in some locations for
blasting coal itself where fire damp
necessitates a fameless explosive The
mines are ventilated by rotary fans
The law requires that each miner shall
be supplied with at least 300 cubic feet
of air per minute. Fire damp Is preva
lent in many of the anthracite shafts
necesstating the use Of safety lamps
by the miners.

How The Pennsylvania Coal Fields
Are Worked.
TH HE word anthracite. whic

v" HE word anthracite, which
has become such vital part
OF the life of the American
people, is striking example
of how the world becomes dependent
on what may be termed the latter-day
progress of mankind. Just 100 years
ago Philadelphia received her first
shipment of anthracite coal. 1t came
TO the city in two great river arks, and
was used 10 gravel the sidewalks. A
small quantity Of this coal was burned
In a CRATE, but the experiment was not
n success, and In 1906, when another
ark load OF coal tied up at the wharf
In the Quaker city IL was rejected
no one wanted ii. In 1908 Judge Fell,
OF Wilkesbarre, successfully burned
anthracite in a CRATE. In 1912 another
effort was made to market anthracite
coal In Philadelphia, but nine wagon
loads which were sent there from
Pottsvile had TO be given away.
The real history Of the anthracite
coal industry begins in 1920. when 800
tons of coal were shipped to Philadel
phla from the Lehlgh region. During
the next ten years the trade from the
Lehigh regions was firmly established.
and the Schuylkill region was opened
up upon the completion Of water com
munlcation with Philadelphia. During
the latter part of this period the Della

organized and began the shipment Of
