oMENs AMONG GOLFERS.
Some Curious Beliefs and supersti-
tons Among the Miners
Of Wales.

The collier openly expresses a strong
belief IN omens. From the scope which
his hazardous work offers TO their pecul-
lar manifestation Il is. upon the whole
to his credit that Il should be so little
disturbed BY them. But occasionally
the dread OF vague peril, heralded by
some specially ominous portent, Is too
strong for his Imagination, and he drops
work az all costs. The dread Is lnieo-
tlous, and q profound nerve storm will
sweep over mining village, shake the
souls Of the workers and keep them out
os tie mine until time shall have proved
their fears to be groundless. II is the
supposed supernatural touch which tells
in giving the imagination room for ae.
ilon. for the collier has fully proved that
he does not lack courage 70 meet 4
known danger. AS volunteers IN search-
ing the niue after an explosion, when
without a shadow OF doubt death Is
waiting at every turn in the dark roads,
the difficulty is TO keep the men from
crowding into the cage for the descent.
But II the collier sees what he regards
as an omen he loses bis courage CON-
pletely and will on no account descend
10 work.
There is something uneauny about
some Of the colliers' omens. judged In
their gloomy setting. The colliers at a
Welsh eolliery refused 10 work because
female figure had been seen waving
light in distant gallery Although all
the omens Of the collier are significant
Of impending evil, their forms, strange
to say, are those OF grace and light A
female figure waving a light is not In
Itself dread nor an ungraoious figure
A white dove. again, Is q singularly be-
nign and graceful object; yet white
dove perched on the framework above
a mine on one occasion 20 impressed the
men about to descend that they stoutly
refused 10 30 down. II Is. however, but |
fair TO state that q similar appearance
Of dove In the same place a few years |
previously had been followed by fatal |
explosion Of Are damp Two Of the |
chief conditions fayorine the existing |
state Of superstition are the darkness
in which the work is done and the risky |
nature Of the work. The electric light
ing Of mines and the reduction Of aeci-
dents owing 20 Il. and other improve
nents. will probably be the strongest
agent IN lifting the incubus OF belief in
omens of the soul OF the collier. II viii

IGNITE. THE NEW FUEL.
II May Solve the vexed Fuel Problem
If It Can BE Made Up
Into Bricks.

A fortune is In store for the man who

Ignite. Northwestern railroad men are
deeply interested tor success would
mean the opening q vast mines IN their
territory, states the New York Sun. II
the experiments now being conducted
with a view to brlquetting this coal
prove successful, Il is possible the entire
fuel problem will be revolutionized.
North Dakota has a supply Of this fuel

ton IL woula serve for hundreds of years,

With the ordinary engine the Ignite

experimenters with the fuel declare i
viii not be necessary 20 use binder in
making a satisfactory fuel, but those
most interested contend that some bird

briquetting IN Germany. will be needed.
One trouble with Ignite Is It's damp
ness and another is that the air makes
rapid consumption; but mixed with
some slowly burning substance, and
pressed into hriquettes by powerful ma
ehinery. these failings may be done away
with. This expels the moisture and
checks the tendency 10 slake

near Bismarck, s D., and mines near
the town are opened up so that more
than 1000 tons a day are taken out. II

and its consumption IN Fargo and other
nearby towns Is enormous
The method Of mining is unique Usu-
ally the mines are entered by means Of
a drift which taps the vein OF coal at a
depth OF 30 TO 80 feet This is done In
sections. so that the whole mine Is a
series Of galleries divided by coal par
titions Later these are removed and |
blasting with electricity enormous |
chunks Of coal are blown down These |
are carted away after the miners have
broken them and put them in the receiy-

ON SUNDAY
Air Filled With Cards and
Poker Chips.

Pittsburg, Pa, March i3.--,Just as
the church people were leaving the
house Of worship in the vicinity of
Anderson street at noon today there
was sudden roar followed by a crash
and clouds of dust shot into the air.
Then followed q poker table and many
decks of cards shot into the blue.
The National, Political club of AL.
legheny, occupied the second and
third floors of the building at 100 An
derson street. The first floor is occu-
pied as cigar store. In the club
rooms above, poker game was in
progress when suddenly the south
walls of the building bulged out and
fell with a crash. The cracking of
the walls gave the players warning
and they made rush to- the fire es-
capes. Men, hatless and in their shirt
sleeves scrambled down the fire es-
capes just as the church goers were
returning from worship. The street
for so feet near the building was lit
tered with cards.
