Unused Pianos In America.

One of the visiting Englishmen. Mr..
Mosely, was struck by the number Of
unused pianos in the American homes.
That there should be so little knowl-
edge of music and SO many instruments
was a source of surprise and pain to
him. No doubt these unused pianos
are an Indication OF a general prosper
ity. That SO many of them are silent
is not to be deplored In view of the de-
gree of skill of the average performer.
The amount of money spent annually
for piano lessons is enormous, and
most OF 1t is wasted. .-Philadelphia

Awkward for Republican Editors

The Republican newspapers Of Mis-
souri, are in an uncomfortable predic-
ament. For long time past they have
been saying all kinds of nice things
about District Attorney Folk. Mr..
Folk was being talked Of for governor,
but it was not deemed possible that
he could be nominated in spite of the
Democratic machine. Now that Mr..
Folk is assured Of nomination these
newspapers are confronted by the al
tentative of eating their words or of
supporting the Democratic nominee for
governor. There are already signs of
chatting under the collar.-Cleveland

The Canton-Steubenville electric
railway is rapidly materializing. The
company was incorporated at Colum-

franchises along the route. Residents
along the line are SO anxious for the
building of the road that they are
willing to donate all the privileges
asked for and thus encourage the
company. When the time comes. Can

willing hand, as it will open up a

UTAH IRON REGIONS.
Geological Survey wa Soon Issue a
Book Descriptive OF Them.

The 1908 number of the annual vol
ume on economic work to be issued
by the United States Geological sur
vey, entitled Contributions 10 Eco
monte Geology, 1903" bulletin 1851
contains several articles that ARE Of
special interest, either because they
describe deposits heretofore entirly
unknown or because they treat OF fields
about which nothing has yet been writ
ten.
Two articles on the iron ores OF Utah
are among the most important in the
volume. Mr., C.. K. Leiths descrip-
ton OF the iron ores OF southern Utah
Is valuable because these ores are just
nov receiving considerable attention.
They have been known for some time,
but on account OF their inaccessibility
have never been developed. The pres
ence Of iron ores In the Ulnta noun
tains Of Utah has been known to white
men for at least quarter OF a century,
but comparatively little has been
learned concerning particular deposits
and their possibilities OF development.
Among the most valuable papers in
the bulletin are three on coal--one on
the Cumberland Gap coal field OF Ken
lucky and Tennessee, by Mr.. George II,
Ashley, one on the Deer Creek coal
field OF Arizona by Mr.. Marlus II.
Campbell, and one on the Meadow
Branch coal field Of West Virginia by
the same author Mr.. Ashleys paper
Is important, as II is the first published
report OF any kind on Cumberland Gap
Goals. Mr. Campbell's papers have
special interest, as they describe en-
tlrely new fields.
Among the short articles which have
special significance at this time are
Mr.. r, Nelson Dale's notes on Arkansas
