Coal is the carbonized remains of
tree MOSES. oddly enough, these
moses were the big forefathers of
the moss we know as lycopodium,
which ina powdered state is used to
give an idea of tn intensely infiam-
mable nature of coal dust.
Some of the best coal In the world
is cut from what is known as the
Merthyr four-foot seam, and this
seam is one of the busiest in the
world. 1t is a terrible fact that over
900 men have lost their lives on
this seam in the past half century.
Some years ago one of the inspect
ors of mines conducted a number of
experiments on the explosive power
Of coal dust. A disused shaft $50
feet deep was chosen for the purpose.
Samples of dust from different col
ieries were collected for the purpose.
When two hundred weight of dust
was emptied down shaft and a
charge of gunpowder fired, the result
vas startling.
Huge tongues of flame sixty feet in
height shot up from the mouth OF the
shaft and enormous columns of
smoke rose high in the air, forming
4 great black pail over the scene of
the explosion. On the other hand,
ghen high explosives were used no
eject al all was produced on the dust
But golfers are not the only work
ers who have to dread dust dangers.
Almost every kind of dust which is
composite of infammable material
Iill explode when touched by a
naked light. Masters are often
heavy sufferers in this way, for malt
dust is shockingly explosive. One OF
the biggest disasters of this kind in
recent years was the complete de
struction of the premises of the Fps
witch Mating company. These were
six stories high, 700 feet long and
so wide, and they were completely
Quilted by a malt explosion, which set
fire to them. There were 10000
quarters of grain in the building at
the time. and the damage was esti-
mated at $4,000 pounds.
Messrs. Whitbread suffered in a
similar manner large building neal
the Barblcan, used for grinding malt
having been badly damaged. In this
case the cause of the fire is said to
have been the spontaneous combus-
ton of tie malt dust which was sus-
pended in the air.

ternoon at 1880 o'clock at st. JOS
eph's hospital, Phoenix, Ariz., from

The news of his death came as a

thought to be improving.
DR.. Hank was one of the best
known and most popular young men
In the city. Last February his health
began to fail, and he was forced to

He returned to Paducah in the
summer. but not Improving left in
November for Phoenix His brother,
Mr.. Oscar Hank. recently visited him
there, and placed him in the hospit-
al. DR.. Hank was then believed to be
improving. but il was deemed advisa-
BILE not TO attempt TO bring him back

No Deathbcd Visions.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 2C.-Dr. C..
Pruyn Springfield, student of the
occult and a physician of wide ex-
perience agrees with DR.. Osler that
there are no deathbed visions.
DR.. SPRINGFIELD has witnessed ma
ny deathbed scenes, with the end in
view of demonstrating scientifically
the value of visions and the theory
of life after death. He has seen sew
eral hangings and many deaths by vi
olence. and has studied hypnotism,
spiritualism and kindred occult sub
jects.
"Suoh visions occur,' said DR..
Struggled today, "but they have no
scientific value. The mind has been
impressed by the teachings of a life
time, and at the dying hour 1t only is
natural these teachings should find
some expression. But the fact that
dying person is permitted to have
glimpses of celestial life does not
prove that such life exists.
DR.. Struggled believes there is no
horror in death.

COAL AND SUGAR CAUSE OF DISASTERS

The town of Minneapolis, in the
United States, is famous for its enorr
nous flour mills. Twice in the last
eight years frightful destruction has
been done by explosions of -four dust.
In one case the roof of a large mill
was blown completely off. AS an
eyewitness said, it seemed as though
a ton of gunpowder had exploded in
side the building. The conclusion
was SO tremendous that windows
were broken for a couple of hundred
yards round, and, what was far
worse, five lives were lost.

A New Bill.

Washington. Dec. 26.-Represen-
tative Longworth, of Ohio, introduce
ed a bill. providing for the purchase
at cost of not over IS, 900 900 OF
buildings for the United States mis-
sions at all foreign capitals whore
this government maintains Ambassa-
doris or Ministers.
Mr.. Longworth explained that the
underlying purpose of the bill sis to
remove the necessary qualification of
great wealth for the holding of high
States"
ut is an open and notorious fact"
he added that with the very small
salaries paid to our diplomatic en-
voys in comparison with those of
other countries, none but very rich
men can aspire to these offices; that
no man of however great learning
experience or ability. can represent
this country abroad unless he be a
man of great wealth.
mo matter how much salaries
might be increased there would al
ways be an evidence of the wealth of
each particular incumbent according
to the style of residence he occupied
If, however, a suitable and dignlfied
official residence be given to each OF
our diplomatic ENJOYS, then at least
so far as external appearances are
concerned the rich man and the
poor man Will appear alike"
