NUMBER 2I
MAKING MODERN MINERS.
How Young Technical School Stu
dents In a Big City Are Taught.

dentr In a Big City Are Taught.
The word "mine," with its immediate
suggestion Of treasures buried deep
down in the earth and only awaiting
the coming OF hardy adventurer with
pickax and shovel to dig tS,m up
and make a fortune, hardly suggests
the fact that modern mining Is sci
ence and that the miner often learns
his craft In schools far away from the
mining regions. Such, however, is the
case, the mining engineering depart
ment Of the Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology, for example, being located
in historic Boston. in commonwealth
that has almost no mines whatever
The future mining engineer is not
confined to classrooms and text books
when he has got through the prelimi-
nary study Of chemistry. physics and
mathematics and has become also a
fair craftsman. He practices survey
ing in the open air. spending much
time In the city parks with his survey
Ing instruments, and then 1t is time for
him to learn how work is done In real
mines. There are no mines In eastern
Massachusetts, but there Is a pretty
complete outfit for practically all kinds
Of mining operations run by the insti-
tute itself for the purpose Of training
its mining engineers.
The student has only to pass from
one room into another, and there, un-
der the very halls where lecturing and
book learning flourish, are glowing Of
furnaces, a rumble Of grinding mills
and Jar Of falling stamps, all going
on in a half concealing and very mine
like atmosphere Of dust from the rock
crushers. In this big room there are
usually, in fact, more machines at work
and more things going on than at many
a real mine-amalgamating pans,
Gig" by which small copper bearing
pebbles are separated from other peb-
bles bearing nothing in particular;
heavy stamps under which gold quartz
is crushed to powder and the fine gold
gathered on a quicksilvered plate or, II
it fails to deposit there, finally caught
on a broad rubber belt over which
streams Of water play constantly to
wash away the accompanying mud and
leave the clean, bright metal rever-
berating furnace that roasts metals at
frightful temperatures until it melts
away their impurities.
All Of this. Of course, is very different
from the romantic picture Of the miner
with his pickaX and shovel, but it is
an interesting illustration of the COM
plexity of modern mining operation.

Blue Mountain Tea.

The foliage and flowers Of all the
goldenrods, says the Philadelphia
Press. are imbued with an astringent
principle and are moderately stlmulant,
so that their suitability for the manu-
facture Of domestic tea was recog-
nized by the American colonists as long
ago as when George III. was king over
them. One species. the fragrant leaved
goldenrod. known sometimes as Blue
Mountain tea. possesses in addition the
favor of licorice. Drunk piping hot in
the wilderness 1t makes pleasant fea-
ture In the campers limited menu. This
especial kind of goldenrod begins to
bloom quite early in the summer and is
easy Of recognition.

A woman was arraigned for begging
and vagrancy in the Essex Market po-
lice court in New York a few weeks
ago who had among her belongings a
heavy bundle tied In a large colored
handkerchief, in which was found
over $40 in pennies and other small
coin, the whole mass weighing more
than fifteen pounds. This, according
to the woman's own story, she had col
lected in two weeks, seated on the curb
at n certain corner on the Bowery with
a plate in her lap.
And still more interesting was the
disclosure made by a bank book Of a
savings bank in Syracuse. n. T., in her
possession. showing an account to the
woman's credit Of over $1,000.
1t appeared also that the woman had
three grown up children living in Syra-
cuse who were able to care for her.
Yet so woebegone and poverty stricken
did the woman appear when arraigned
in court that not until her hoardings
were disclosed would even a police
court shyster take up her case.-Leslie's
Weekly.

Radfum,a Energy.

Professor J. J. Thomson's latest sug-
gestion on the subject of the source Of
the energy emanating from radium Is
that there are few atoms in each
mass "in a condition In which stability
ceases and which pass into some other
con6guration. giving out as they do
very large quantities Of energy" The
energy of the radiatlons Of this SUBJ
stance is so great that one of the cleo
irons thrown Off by It, II set In chase Of
a Mauser bullet, would pass through It
as though 1t were standing still.

The Earth worm.

Among agricultural workers perhaps
the earthworm receives the least atten-
ton. Its value to the land is seldom
appreciated. 1t bores through the soil.
making little tunnels in every direc-
ton. thereby admitting the air and
moisture not only to the soil. but
through the soil to the subsoil. During
the process of boring 1t eats its way
along. thereby grinding up the little
particles of earth. rendering them flu
er and in better condition to retain
moisture.

CurIs For Men Coming Into Fashion.

Curls For Men Coming Into Fashion.
Curled hair for men is coming in
again.
Il had two Wallets here yesterday
said the old barber, teaching them the
mystery of curling a mans hair. They
wanted only the side wave, the most
beautiful of all curls. But that will be
followed by the long front curled love
lock that you see in the pictures Of the
fashionable men of thirty years ago.
/ went ten years without having a
man in my chair that wanted a curl.
Six months ago one came. Since then
/ have averaged one a week. l know
1t is coming.
Does the young barber know how to
set a curl? Not bit of it. You must
learn the trade. You must work over
the wig on the block for months before
you can do justice to the beauties Of a
right curl. We old fellows learned it,
just the same as we learned to shape a
beard. A new generation Of BARRIERS
must come in, or the present ones must
begin, after all these years, to learn
their trade.
"The square jawed, smooth shayen,
fat haired man is going out. The
bearded, curled man, such as the IA
theirs Of this generation were when
young, are coming in."-New York

that many of the descendants of Yer

FORT DODGE WATER IMPURE.
Des Moines PathoIosist Says It Is Unfit

Des Moines, May 19.-The impure and
unsanitary condition of the water in
the cities of Fort Dodge and Marquis
Vile has contributed largely to the cpl
denies of typhoid and pneumonia that
ehave been raging in those places, ac-
.cordiug to the opinion of DR.. Charles H
Hoffman.
DR.. Hoffman has made his reports of
the water tests and finds that it Is
impure and unfit for drinking purposes
In both of these cities typhoid and
pneumonia have been unusually severe
in their ravages. Steps have been rec
commended at once for the improvement
of conditions.
At Fort Dodge, Superintendent of
Water Works w. l.. Pray has COM
menced to tear out the vast system of
filter galleries that purify the water
under Park Island. 1t was found that
the sand in the filters was clogged with
dirt and very impure. New, clean sand
will be replaced as soon as the high
water goes down.
