considerably, and, for variety of causes,
the miners would find themselves face

ing up of coal by operators shows they
will be more prepared for the crisis in
1906 than they were in 1902, and the

The miners offset this, however, by
declaring that, as the soft coal agree

the United Mine Workers, which have
jurisdiction in both hard and soft coal
fields, will inaugurate a universal strike,

and used in this country since 1884

The preparation of many of the fungi

the adoption of thoroughly modern
methods of tillage throughout the
Johnson grass region, it may become
practicable to utilize this grass for the
production of hay without serious in

root digger or perhaps with a heavy

more or less hand pulling the next sea-

Pigs Must Be Started Right.

The money in pigs is largely made
between the time the SOW is bred and
the pigs are six weeks old If the SOW
receives the right kind of care and
feed, and enough of it, she will farrow
strong, thrifty pigs.
They need especial care in the first
six weeks. If they are kept confined
in small pen and the SOW gives a
large amount of milk they are likely
to get thumps and die off in short
order. If the pen is not kept clean
they are likely to get sore mouth or
catarrh. If not properly fed they are
likely to become stunted. Give to the
pigs the right kind of a start up to six
weeks Of age and they will take very
good care of themselves for the next
six months if you leave enough feed
lying around where they can get at it.
They need babying for the first six
weeks. Don't go to the field in the
morning until you have looked after
the pigs, and come in early enough in
the evening to see every one of them.
They will pay for all the care you give
to them.

herst College, head of the American
expedition, made many excellent pho
tographs. Bailey's beads-a ring of
bright spots sometimes seen around
the rim of the moon just as it com
pletely covers the sun-were not in
evidence.
Astronomers gathered at Almazin,
Spain, from all parts Of the world to
observe the total eclipse of the sun.
Camille Flammarion, the French as
trOnomer, was assisted by his wife.
NJ. Flammarion said after the eclipse:
Clouds prevented a perfect obServa-
ton, but it was accurate despite them.
The design of the corona was not so
beautiful as that of the eclipse of 1900,
but the contrast was greater In the
eclipse Of 1900 the sky was black. To
day it was gray. found the corona
was decidedly circular, typifying max
lmum solar activity.

height of $4,000 kilometers (31071h
miles,. They We're flames of blazing
hydrogen gas. They proruded from
the side in 1900. 1 saw the double
corona. but not the famed irregular
ity of heat"
In Washington, D. c., the sun was
covered with clouds during a part of
the period of the eclipse's duration.
Professors Skinner and Hall, and
Messrs. Hall and Hammond studied
the phenomenon from the United
States observatory. New York and
Boston were deprived of even a
glimpse of the eclipse by clouds and
fog. Observations were made from
the university observatory in Cincin-
natl, and four groups of sun spots,
each of considerable size, were seen.
At Columbus, Professor G. Lord pho
tographed the eclipse. Kansas City
and st. Louis also reported favorable
conditions. A clear sky gave the as
tronomers Of the Yerkes Observatory
at Williams Bay. Wis, excellent OPP
portunity for observations.
Whether any epoch-making discov-
cries have been made, such as the
finding of the intra- Mercurial planet
Vulcan. or the analysis of the compo-
sition of the corona, will not be ascer-
tanned until the expeditions make the
detailed reports

WILL DECIDE TYPE OF CANAL.
Consulting Board in Panama Canal
Work Gathers at Washington

suttlnE Board in Panama Canal
Work Gathers at Washington.
Whether the Panama Canal shall
climb over the intervening hills by
means of locks, or whether it shall be
cut through at the sea level will be
decided by the consulting board, COM
posed of some of the best known en-
glneers in America and Europe, which
began its sessions in Washington the
other day
This question, once thought to have
been settled in favor of the canal with
locks, has come up as result of the
preliminary work on the isthmus, and
many of the engineers engaged think
a sea level canal entirely feasible.
President Roosevelt. therefore, decid-
ed to have the comm. ssioI go into the
matter extensively, and it is proba-
BILE that the engineers will go TO Pana-
ma after considering all the evidence
at hand in this country.
The personnel of the board created
by the executive order of June / in
cludes the following men:
General George W. Davis. Alfred No
bic, William Barclay Parson. William
II. Burr, General Henry L. Abbott.
Frederick p. Stearns. Joseph Ripley.
lsham Randolph, all American engineers.
Henry Hunter, nominated by the Brit
ish government.
Eugene Tincauser. nominated by the
German government.
Nj. Guerard, nominated by the French
government
NJ. Quellenez, consulting engineer.
Suez Canal.
j. w. Welcker nominated by the gov
eminent of the Netherlands.
Probably before anything of import
ance is done the board will visit the
isthmus to review the work already
| accomplished and the local conditions.
Most of the consulting engineers are
entirely noncommittal upon the type of
canal which the board will select pre-
ferring to wait until after they have
been over the ground and become thor
oughly conversant with the formation
and the obstacles to be overcome
Under the executive order of Presi-
dent Roosevelt the members of the
board will receive $1,000 each upon
the completion of the boards report.
Meanwhile each will receive SO per
day and his expenses of transporta-
ton.

SCORES RICH IN CHURCH.
Evangelist G. Campbell Morgan Thinks
Them Merely Ornamental.

"Since | have been over here | have
been greatly struck with the marked in
difference of Christian rich business men
in the church For the most part they
are merely ornamental. They take no
part in the work of the church
This statement was made by the Rev.
G. Campbell Morgan, the London wan
gelist, just before he sailed from New
York for Europe on the Baltic.
81 would rather have ten men caught
by divine passion and compassion gath
cred into the church but mixing with the
world than 1000 dilettante church mem
bers fooling with heaven and frivoling
with HE'LL continued DR.. Morgan.
"The church does not seem to be much
more than a social organization now.
They spend more time developing along
social lines now than they do along spir-
itual lines. Now, why is this condition?
Because business men, influential Chris
tians. and those who are in position do
not do their duty. They are wrapped
up in their own affairs or busy in the
pursuit of pleasure or frivolity and for
get the pledges they made to their
church. The old fire, the old time spirit
is lacking. Without this what can be
expected by social clubs leading away
from God?
what the church wants is more of
God and less of dress and social posi-
ton: more of the spirit of the Master,
less strife for place and money, and
more religion by example of life than
by preaching and talking. If you follow
God in life you become continual ser
mon for him"

FACTS ABOUT f.:
:: THE CENSUS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

According to the estimate of the CEN
sus bureau the United States has gained
more than 6000,0O0 in population since
1890 To be exact, the figures are 3d.
$4,000, against 76,303,000 1t is belev-
ed that this is a very conservative esti-
mate, considering the great volume of i'm
migration during the past fve-year Pc
Rod.
Instituting comparisons, we find that
there is but one civilized nation ON the
globe which has a greater population
than ours, and that is Russia. China is
not considered. Russia has 130,OO0,OOO
people, me German empire 56,OOO,OOO,
Austro- Hungary 47,000,000, Great Brit
ain 100000, France 38000,000, Italy
100000, Spain 100000. Within
three and a half centuries the English
tongue has come to be the dominating
language of the world. More persons
now speak it than any other civilized
tongue. For this the world may look
largely to the United States England
has had very little to do with it. We
have been teaching an emigration OF
nearly a century to speak a language OF
adoption and through them have brought
it more and more into the out-of-the-way
places. There is some little glory in the
fact that the United States and not Eng
land is responsible for the spread OF the
English tongue.
BENJAMIN Franklin said in 1776 that
the population of the United States
would double every % years. The esti-
mate was kept for three-quarters of a
century, but is not now maintained. AT
present rate, the population doubles ev-
cry 80 years, which in 1880 means loO,-
600. 1000, and 3O0,000000 in 1860. Wheth-
er this increase would be at all desirable
remains to be seen. t3ost of those liv-
ing will not be here when the country
reaches the 300,OO0,0O0 mark. What will
happen in those days cannot be prognos-
ticated. We of the present will have to
leave those of the future to solve their
nroblems for themselves.

The United States was not fortu-
nate enough. however, to be in the
path of totality. Only the skirt, or
penumbra, of the moons shadow
passed over this country, while the
complete shadow, or umbra, took a
slanting path from Hudson's Bay to
Southeastern Arabia. In this tract,
from which the direct rays of the sun
were totally blocked for a few min
uteg, many parties of astronomers set
n their apparatus in the hope of
making observations which would
render more intimate the worlds ac-
quaintanee with the mighty ball of
IRE about which it revolves. Three
American expeditions, stationed in
Spain and Morocco, were among the
number.
From Assouan, Egypt, comes the
news that the British, American and
Russian expeditions enjoyed perfect
weather, and made valuable observa-
tons. The period of totality was two
minutes and twenty-four seconds.
rhe corona, or fiery atmosphere, which
envelopes the sun, was of moderate
size. In the City of Tripoli, which has
had the novel experience of two total
eclipses in the past five years, the
American, French and Italian scien-
fists also were aided by a cloudless
sky. The total eclipse lasted three
minutes and four seconds there.
Ten minutes before the period of
