NEW COAL FIELD
IN EASTERN OHIO
Inspector Biddison Saw Con-

tFrom a STAFF correspondent.)


Columbus, March 10.--State Mine
Inspector Elmer C. Biddison has re-
turned from an inspection of coal ter
ritory in central Columbiana county
and Mahoning county and says that
the field. yet undeveloped, is destined
to become one of the important coal
centers of the state. He tested the
territory at many places and is salts
fled it contains an almost inexhausti-
BILE amount of coal, of excellent quail
ity. The inspection was made at the
request of the company Of Youngs-
town capitalists who are constructing
a railroad between that city and East
Liverpool and who hold options on
much territory in the coal belt, which
they will develop thoroughly.
While passing through Canton en-
route to Columbus, Inspector Biddison
met District Deputy James. p. Davis.
Of Salem, who furnished him re-
port of the recent accident at Sher.
odsviile Carroll county, In which nine
miners In cage were precipitated to
the bottom of shaft 155 feet deep,
Two will die. Mr.. Biddison hopes to
spend a week in the Massillon fed

use. He stands ready to make good
the offer at any time and will put
up any kind Of a structure the COM
pany may desire.
| While the armory now used by the
company is probably better than the

Olean, N. Y, March 10.--Tifteen
persons are now known to be dead as
a result of the explosion of oil-tank
cars on the Erie tracks near this city
late last night. The death list will

There are eight other bodies at the

The victims were all young men who
stood near one of the tanks watching
the wreck burn, when the explosion
came.
A freight train on the Erie railroad,
made up principally of oil tank cars,
was moving slowly into the city few
miles from here, when 1t broke in two

crash was heard for miles. One OF

to the initiative Of the press and to
the high spirit Of a few wealthy firms.
q strong and lurid light has been
thrown upon those dark places o.
Japan, and redress is already in sight
The Manchester of the mikado's realm
Is Osaka, and it was the terrible state
Of things in vogue ID the mills ana
works Of that city that first attracted
attention. The slaves O the southern
states of North America had a better
time than some Of the Wretched girls
Of Osaka, the product of whose labor
was thrown upon European markets
at nominal prices. Happily, the guild
Of weavers have now set to work to
better the lot Of these helots, and its
efforts are being reinforced by gov
eminent employees.
Curiously enough, in the higher call
ings and professions that require skin
or scientific training instead Of mere
manual labor, there was hardly any
field for woman's activity. Thus, IN
none Of the ministries Of government
offices was a woman 10 be found as 4

Of merchants likewise rapidly e4clud-

to employ them as saleswomen; only
in a few cheap bazars where the work
was very fatiguing and the pay utter

behind the counter. But here, too,
a beneicent change is now being
made. The firm Of Mitsui, the weav-
ers, for example-one of the wealthiest
in Japan-has just decided to take on
girls.
For a considerable time past women
have been engaged at railway stations,
especially in dealing with passenger
traffic, and now the Sanui line, which
had hitherto eliminated the female
element, has completely broken with
its traditions, and in future the pas
sengers by that company's line will
be looked after by women conductors,
and, perhaps, wOmen controllers as
well. The crown prince of japan takes
a keen interest in this movement,
which aims at making life miserable
to the future female subjects, and he
mas begun by setting an excellent OK

and has allowed it to be generally
understood that he is and intends to
remain a monogamist to the end Of

ELASTIC N FISH.
Remarkable Creature Puas Itself
Up Until Too Big to BE
Swallowed.

A few days ago a numbered specimens
of the pufer were taken to the aqua
rum. The buffers are caught in the
neighborhoOd Of this city, says the New
York Tribune. They are so named be-
u Of the elasticity Of their skin and
the facility with which they can initiate
themselves by doubling their size. When
in this condition they resemble in some
respects a ball. The nose and brilliant
light green eyes protrude from one part
and on the Other side atail projects. Aps
parently a sense of danger close at hand
is the signal for putting up and the sue
cess Of the effort does not appear to be
governed by confinement to the water.
Air seems to serve equally well, as was
demonstrated by Mr.. Spencer, the SUI
p~erintendent of the aquarium, the other
day. He lifted one from the tank and
instantly its pumping apparatus began
to work. A very short space of time
a second or observation-disclosures required
to give the fish rotundity.
It's skin is beautifully notified ana
when lying on the gravel bottom It
might easily be mistaken by another
fish swimming above for part Of the bed
itself. Although it is not known posi-
lively why the puffer has this power to
enlarge itself it is thought by some that
this is a means Of protection. The fish
is not large, being only six or eight
inches long. Everyone knows how hard
it would be to swallow a ball six OF
eight inches in diameter, and that the
number Of species Of fish which could
do this successfully is not large. The
puRer has the power, apparently, to
make itself as uncomfortable as a fish
bonneville in the process of being swal-
lowed. A story is told about two New
York fishermen who pulled in a netful
Of buffers, a species Of fish they had
never seen or heard of before. They
dumped the fish into the bottom Of the
boat and were surprised to hud in the
space Of a second that by some miracle
the boat was full to overlooking Will
fish,
