1ipS Lead to Brlhea.

At the recent convention in Ham
burg of the Coal Dealers association
of Germany a number of delegates
spoke on the practice of tipping and
bribing. They complained that stokers
and others having to do with coal
used in manufacturing works and
large establishments of any kind must
be given bribe money, or have their
influence used against the coal deal.
ers to prevent the securing Of new or.
ders. The delegates urged the neces-
sity OF taking measures to abolish
the nefarious practice. Americans
travelling in Europe find the tipping
abuse very annoying. The tipping evil
has undoubtedly led to the bribery
method which now has become so vex.
atious to business people.

MINING METHODS OF AMERICA
Why Production Here u Larger Per
CAPITA Than Aboard.


It Is not difficult to understand the
manufacturing supremacy of the Unit.
ed States when one compares our coal
production statistics with those of for
eign countries, says the Boston Tran
script. The country having cheap
supply of fuel for steam purposes will
lead in manufacturing. There are
employed in the coal mines of Great
Britain nearly 100000 men, and they
produced last year a coal product val
ued at $10O,OOO,OOO more than that Of
this country. Yet with less than $685.
600 coal miners in the United States
we produced 5O,OOO,0OO tons more of
there is an average production per
miner Of little less than 1000 tons
Of coal per annum. Great Britain
produces 287 tons per capita, Germany
242 tons, France 1913 tons, and Bel.
GUM 166 tons.
These figures show the immense
superiority of the American coal min.
er, yet mine owners testify that 1t is
due to methods rather than men, as
the British miners who come here
make our best workmen. The differ
ence is that Great Britain largely
clings to the antiquated method Of
pick mining, while here steam has
taken the place Of muscle and powder
has been substituted for picks. In
the thicker coal seams there is no
longer any pick work and the physical
exercise of drilling is no longer neces-
sary.
Yet there is another side to the
matter. The mortality from accidents
in the Illinois coal mines last year
was 2.S7 per 1000 men employed,
which is one and one-half times the
percentage Of fatal accidents in Brit
ish mines. 1t is evident that some
means should be taken to reduce the
death rate and it has been suggested
that blasts should not be made while
the miners are still at work, but
should be set off after hours by men
chosen for this dangerous occupation.

various craft for the coming summer. The
yachts vesper, Janet, Glorf, Naomi, Startle,

Fiji, Ariel, Jack and Davidson are nearly
ready for launching. The Corinthians have
greatly increased their membership and
have arranged for a series of races during
the coming season The question of the
pollution of the river with floating gas tar
has again been taken up with the District
Commissioners, and it is to be hoped that
some way can be found to abate this I'M
