Government May sieze Mines.

Chicago, March 31.-The Tribune's
Washington correspondent says:
1t is a serious thing to say, yet l
believe that l am justified in saying it,
that if the strike of the bituminous and
anthracite miners is permitted to con.
tinue TO the point where the piled up
stock of both kinds of coal are prac-
tically exhausted, SO as to produce a
paralysis Of industrial operations, the
government of the United States,
either through the president or
through congress, or both, will take
action in the interest of the people,
constitution or no constitution. That
is the feeling here among men who
are ordinarily conservative. They
do not believe that either the presi-
dent or congress has the right to die
tate the terms on which men shall Op-
crate their mines or on which men
shall work in those mines. They do
believe, however, and the opinion was
generally expressed yesterday by Re-
publicans and Democrats and by high
officials almost within the walls of the
White House itself, that if any such
crisis arises. the United States gov
ernment will take possession of the
mines, operate them for the benefit of
the people, turning the money over to
the rtghtful owners, leaving the opera
tors and miners to agree among them
selves If they can.

PINEAPPLES.
The Way They Grow and How the
Plants Reproduce.

The Way. They Grow and How the
Plants Reproduce.
Pineapples do not grow on trees. I'm
agine a plant four feet in extreme
height from the ground to the tip Of
leaves. A single stalk at the surface,
but dividing at once into swordlike
blades or leaves, fifteen in number,
from the center of which appears
stiff, upright stem, at the top of which
is the fruit This stem is short, and the
crown Of the fruit when fully grown
is a foot or more below the points of
the leaves. At the end of year and
a half from planting each plant pro-
duces a single fruit, even as q cabbage
plant produces a single head. But the
pineapple does not die after fruiting
once. Down on the stem below the
fruit and among the long, narrow
leaves a sucker appears. II allowed to
remain this will soon become the head
Of the plant, and within another year
it will yield another fruit. This process
may go on for term of years. In the
meantime, however, other suckers will
make their appearance.
These are broken off, and when stuck
into the ground they put out roots and
become other plants. Thus a single
pineapple plant may produce a dozen
or more others while it is yielding fruit
from year~to year.-New York Herald.
