Will Store Goal.
100000 Tons Ordered Set Aside by April
Anticipating A Strike.

The anthracite operators will
store 5000, ,oCo tons of coal in anti
cipation of possible strike of the
miners. Orders to this effect have
been issued by the President of the
seven companies composing the
combination. President Baer has
ordered that the Reading corpora
tion shall have $500, 900 tons in
storage by March 81, and this will
require the laying aside OF $50, 900
tons out Of each months product
ion from now until April I.
Though neither Mr.. Baer nor any
other officers of anthracite compan-
les has received word from Presi-
dent Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, it is their Intention to
have sufficient coal on hand to sup
ply the market for not less than
four months from April next. 1t
is eXpe, ted that Mitchell will for
ward letter to each of the anthra-
cite presidents within the next few
days asking them to meet the min
ers' committee.
The Reading company has al
ready filled its shortage plant at
Abrams, near Bridgeport. 1t con-
tains 500, 600 tons OF the smaller
sizes. The company has more than
100000 to9s already stored at
various points in New England and
throughout the Northwest. The
Lehigh Valley company is said to
have nearly as much scattered
among its storage plants in New
England, around New York and
in the anthracite field.
The managementS of the Della
ware and Hudson, the Lacka wan
ma, the New York, Ontario and
Western, the Pennsylvania and the
Erie companies have issued orders
to increase the amount of anthra-
cite already stored, and have agreed
that wholesale dealers will be sup.
piled with only sufficient coal to
meet their regular demands. None
will be permitted to store coal for
the purpose of speculation. If a
strike is declared by the miners,
Mr., Baer, who will represent the
hard coal operators, will see that
retail prices are not advanced eX-
cessively and thousands thus COM
PEELED to suffer.

they chant curious charm. which Is
supposed to ward off fairies and evil

inhabitants attach to this ceremony
that they believe it would be temp

Water of the CASPIAN sea.

One of the most remarkable phvsi-
cal features of the globe is the deep
and wide depression in the hollow of
which stands the Caspian Sea, and
Sea of Aral is nearly as large as
plan Sea IS nearly as large as France,
and its surface is eighty-four feet Ge-
low the level of the Black Sea. The
Sea OFF Aral is nearly rs large as
Ireland, and is very little over the sea
level. Within recent geological times
the vast expanse in which these lakes
are found was sea. Its floor has been
gradually raised, and the waters fill
ing the deprcssions are all that is
LETT of an ancient Mediterranean.
A strange feature of both bodies Of
water is that, although they receive
large rivers. especially the Caspian,
into which the Volsa, the Ural River
and scores of streams from the Cau-
casus flow, both have for many years
been getting shallower. Evaporation,
for they have no outlet, exceeds the
inflow. But for some climatic reason
probably, like Lake Ural and It's
uttBIDOI, l-thH DdlhdSli, HdNC S''SC
1891 increased in dopth.
Nature reports that NJ. Berg visited
Lake Balkash last summer and found
that the level was rising with cOmpar-
ative rapidity. Whereas the Caspian,
like the Dead Sea, is very salt, owing
to the rate of evaporation, Aral and
Balkash are brackish only These
remnants of what was once a great
sea opening INTO tDe ocean, as the
Mediterranean does now, still con-
tain marine fish and seals. Some of
the latter survive in the Aral and
Baikal lakes, having gradually become
fitted for their habitat, though it is no
longer salt, but merely bracksh, and.
in the case of Baikal, actually fresh
water.-EXchange

MAMMOTH GERMAN DOCK
Holds Longest Vessel Afioat and
lifts $4,000 Tons.


With the view of keeping level
with the increasing length and
weight of modern steamships, a
Hamburg firm constructed an enor-
nous floating dock. Hitherto the
largest dock constructed by the firm
was capable of lifting 1900 tons
dead weight, but the new giant lifts
35, 900 tons.
1t is $50 feet long, in five sections
OF $50 feet each, so that 1t IS able to
hold the largest vessel now aloat.
Provision is made to enable the dock
to move from one place to another,
and though Hamburg will be its
home, the mouth of the Elbe will in
all probability be its frequent rest
ing place. especially when repairs to
Il deep draughted warship are in con-
temptation, as the Elbe channel cam
not accommodate battleships as far
as Hamburg.

QUEER AFRICAN PEOPLE.
Their Ways of Execution for Grimes
Regulated by Custom.

Herr Eberhard Won Schkopp, who
has explored the interior Of the Kan.
eruns district In western Africa. gives
an interesting account Of the native
tribe called the Bakoko. They are.
he believes, of Semitic origin. and,
having lived in the Kameruns district
only about 200 years, are called
strangers by other natives. They
govern by means of council of eld-
ors," whose duty 1t is to Judge Of
tenders guilty or guiltless. If guilt
less they are set free, IL guilty they
are put to death, this being the only
form of punishment known there.
According 10 the gravity OF tho
crime. the manner OF execution
varies. and may be Simple" or COM
plicated" Simple" execution means
being thrown to the crocodiles. Com.
plicated" execution consists OF being
fastened to tree and left to be eaten
by casual visitors, such as lions and
tigers, or being tortured until death
comes.
Canniballsm is practiced by the
Bakokos, not because they especially
care for the flavor OF the meat. but
because they feel that by eating every
particle of an enemy they are sub
jecting him to the greatest indignity
conceivable.

Tide of Affairs in Germany.

Gen. Won Lieber of Germany has a
queer theory regarding the father
land which he explained at the recent
conference of the pan-German
League at Worms, The generals
theory is to this effect: every fifty
years or SO there comes a tide in the
affairs of Germany which taken at
the flood has led on to fortune. Thus
after the year 1901 came the seven
years war in 1856; after the battle
of Jena in 1905 followed the sue
cessful wars of 1854 and 1866. High
water mark was reached in 1870,
and the ebb will be due by about
the year 1920"

DECAY OF THE LAW or cuGT0M.
Due to the White Race TRAVELLING Al
Over the Earth.

Over the Earth.
The progressive penetration % the
white race into regions Of tho earth
which are inhabited by colcr'1 ra-
ces may be said to have culwiG'nl
in the recent expedition to LaNsa,
which probabaly marks the begin
ming of sapping process destined
ultimately to lead to the fall of the
last citadel OF immemorial custom
and prejudice. Under the tito OF
the Decay OF the Law of Custom"
an interesting address was recently
delivered at the meeting of the Dev-
onshire Association by the president,
Basil II. Thomson, governor of the
Dartmoor Convict Prison. The laws
of custom which have governed the
colored races for countless genera
tions are, II is pointed out, gradually
breaking down, though It is esti-
mated that some 100000 of the
100000 constituting the popu-
lation Of the globe are still compare
lively uncivilized and stagnant un-
der the influence of these laws The
ever increasing facilities of inter
communication must make steadily
for greater uniformity Of view and
conduct among the the different
races of mankind and for the white
race the question is of the first i'm
portance as to what part the colorcd
races will come to play in thA ar
fairs of the world when they shall
have assimilated the teachings OF
Western civilization.
With this is bound up the ques-
tion of the relative mental capacity
of the white and colored peoples. II
would be rash to assert that any race
Is inferior in mental endowment to,
and inherently incapable of reach
ing the mental level of another,
though plenty of white men are to
be found who, after years of resi-
dence in Africa or the East. speak
confidently of the general mental in
feriority of the colored races. Even
In instances in which it is manifest
that no such inferiority exists there
Is, they say, and always will be,
profound difference between colored
and white races in the manner of
viewing things. This is to maintain
that a mans attitude of mind is as
innate and as liable to alteration as
Is the color of the skin.
We prefer to take the view that
the differences between white and
colored races are in the main mat
ters of custom and tradition and as
such are subject to the influences OF
the agents of civilization, sucL as
steam and electricity, which have
already done so much toward o5lit-
Grating lines of demarcation be-
tween nationalties and toward estab-
fishing uniformity in manners and
customS-London Lancet

The Prussian military surgeon,
Dr. Uhlenhuth, who has been trans
ferred to the Hygienic Institute of
the University of Greifswald, is the
discoverer of a new method for dis
tinguishing human from animal
blood. In 1897 DR.. Uhlenhuth was
assistant at the institute for infec-
tious diseases at Berlin, and is a
member of the commission for in
vestigating the foot and mouth dis
ease. In the fall of 19C0 DR.. Uhlen-
huth published very important in
vestigations with reference to dis
tinguishing between the albumin of
eggs of various birds upon the basis
of modern science, which is mainly
the result of the researches of Bor-
det of France and lthrlich of Frank
fort. Uhlenhuth found that these
albumins can be differentiated bio
logically. His researches resulted in
the very important discovery of a
new forensic method to distinguish
human from animal blood so that
It is now possible 20 tell with abso-
lutte certainty the origin of even the
smallest traces OF blood either in dry
or also in putreiied form. This meth
cd, which he published In February,
1901, was soon confirmed on all
sides and has becomeo OF fundamental
importance for forensic medicine, BY
his method he can tell the presence
of horse meat in saasages and other
smoked meat articles, which is a
great step in advance for the eXami-
nation of foodstuffs

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies Deafness
is caused by an inAamed condition

inhamed you have a rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the in

this tube restored to its normal

He Collects Fakes
Little Swndcs With Which a Philadel.
Phia Man kmuses Himself

Advertising fakes are the things
that a Philadelphia man collects.
There are more valuable collec-
tions than mine in this world" he
says, "but | doubt if there is one
which affords is owner more
amusement. My wife says I have
thrown away quantities OF dimes
and quarters on mere foolishness;
but when l think of the laughs l
have had l consider that the money
has been well spent.
For Instance, some one adver-
tised in a number of small farm and
country papers some years ago
offering to send tor only IS cents
something which would prove
quick and certain death to any
number of potato bugs, if used
according to directions. | sent
quarter and received this"
He displayed two little blocks of
plain unvarnished pine, upon one
of which was pasted a label read
ing: place this block on the
ground; put the potato bug upon
it; ten strike it quickly and firmly
with the other block. Repeat the
operation once for each potato bug
in your fields. .
Another quarter, forwarded in
answer to an advertisement guaran-
teeing for that price a "sure way
to save your gas bills" brought
wire file, such as bills of all sorts
are commonly kept upon.
A gem OF the collection is an
answer received to an advertise
ment which offered for a quarter to
send a sure tip on how to get rich
quick. The tip read: Fish for
suckers, as we do -
Similar to this is card received
in return for twenty-five cents sent
to l-arn show to make money fast. "
1t read: Glue it to the wall"
In fulhlment of promise that
for dime one would be told how
to make a good impression when
ever desiring to do SO came the in
struction: "Sit down real hard in
a tub of soft soap"
A little cardboard tray, over the
surface of which are pasted diamonds
cut from pack OF cards, came i'll
return for so cents, which was sent
on the strength of an advertisement
offering to furnish for that sum
tray OF Montana diamonds.
That is the most expensive ex-
hibit but one il my collection, "
the Philadelphia man explained.
The exception is a rifle which
was the first of fake advertisements
to take me in.
Il was a mere boy then, work
ing out on farm. | read the ad-
vertsement Offering a splendid
rifle for only So, and instantly sent
