Great Heat in Deep Mines.

The latest determination of rise in
temperature In descending under
ground gives 243 feet for every decree
centigrade or 1876 feet for a rise OF one
degree Fahrenheit The difference in
temperature of different rock sub.
stances is almost inappreciable.
Experiments made in deep mines TO
prove that the heat of the rocks does
not preclude mining operations at
even 1000 feet, because II the recog.
nized formula of 1875 degrees Fahren.
heit at $500 feet, demonstrated that
such temperature Is not reached.
The assertion sometimes made that
mining might extend to as great a
depth as 10000 feet If haulage could
be accomplished is untenable. The
difficulties would not be in haulage
but, first, that of breathing under the
enormous atmospheric pressure, and
secondly, increase of temperature. A
mass of air in a down-cast shaft of &C
degrees Fahrenheit at the surface al
depth of 10000 feet would attain q
temperature of 80 degrees by it's own
weight Healthful mining would be
impossible.

FAos AND HOBBIES OF ACTORS.
How Stage Folk Spend Their Spare
Time.

The majority of actors have some
fad or hobby, and In no way is this
shown more than in their favorite
amusement. Julia Marlowe is a great
reader and has hobby for collecting
books. This love Of books led her to
take lessons one summer in bookbind-
ing. Ethel Barrymore has a pas
sion for old lace and beautiful furs.
She is fond of all kinds of outdoor
sports and prefers tennis The book
Maude Adams prizes most is "Vecel-
Ito on Costume which was published

Refined Cruelty of a Boy.

For genuine cruelty the average
fiveyear-old boy has got a Hottentot
cannibal licked to FRAGILE" said the
proud father Of young hopeful the
other day. "The latest trick of my
kid is winner, but was sort of rough
on the victim, which was our pet cat.
About three weeks ago we noticed
that pussy suddenly stopped eating
and drinking. All the choice bits of
meats and dishes of milk were left
untouched.
For several days we explained it
by supposing that the cat was getting
more than the ordinary number of
mice and eating them to the exclusion
of our offerings, but We soon noticed
that she vas becoming thin and gaunt
and did not seem inclined to move
about and purr as she used to. One
day, after two weeks of this, / picked
up the now skeleton cat and began

Harvest Festivals of Old.

chanting OF hymns; whilst merry
games were played in which fruits and
nuts, emblematic Of the season, were
always somewhere In evidence.
Among the Greeks we also find a
harvest festival, the Feast of De-
meter" named after the Goddess of
Corn or Grain, and of the harvest.
Here there were also probably games

ceremony. The Romans likewise com.

Thus we see that the same senti

expression of gratitude for benefits
received, also moves a nation to mani

general welfare.
The ethical and spiritual signifl

merrymaking, will never be lost sight
of, If we remember that this great

And that while some are feasting, 9th

FATHER DIDN'T KNOW.
Story Of a Parents Sad Mistake Told

Camille Clifford, who is going to

used to be much admired there, no
one ever thought that in London she
would achieve fame.
yet in London Camille Clifford,
with her gowns all made in one piece
her gowns that fit like silk stock

and there are many Englishmen who
will envy Lord Aberdares. son his
bride.
Miss Clifford, when l last saw her,
talked of Lord Aberdare's opposition
to the match. She did not think
this opposition would last long. Apro.
pos of it, she told me little story-a
story that she is going to work up
into play, for she has literary as
pirations.
she said there was a certain girl
whose parents objected strongly to
her sweetheart. The parents found in
this girls pocketbook one night a
love letter, and wild with rage, they
summoned her before them

this?' the old father demanded. g'ar-

FISH GY THE MILLION.
Fnornou, Proportions Of This induo

The results OF the New England
fisheries in 1905 broke all records.
Maine contributed to the food sup

sardines, valued at s5,000.0O0, AID in
fresh fish alone Boston sold $4,000
900 worth
The great "-' wharf" in Boston
handled 100000 pounds Of fresh
fish. valued at s2,500,0o0. At this
wharf as many as 80 fishing vessels
have been moored at one time.
Gloucester, the home of the Grand
Banks fishing -eet provided for
Tie worries consumption $4,000, 900
pounds Of salt fish. valued at $780,
600, and handled fresh fish to the
value of 100000.
In the latter part of 1905 revolu-
ton was promised in fishing methods
by the addition OF new steam trawl-
er to the feet. Since fishing Logan on
the Banks the work has been done
by sailing vessels, which send out
dories on the fishing grounds and
which in their voyages back and forth
between Boston and the Banks, are 1t
the mercy of storms.
There are now more than 500 YES
sells of all sizes IN the fishing fleet,
ranging in value from $1,000 to $15,-

about 100000. If the Spray the

The new steamer cost her owners

of all fishing operations being carried
on from her deck without the use of

attendant upon the old methods of
fishing when boats were frequently

Massachusetts,, for generations, were
solely religious observances, while
that famous Plymouth celebration Of
1921 was a harvest festival, never de-
signated as Thanksgiving by its pro-
moters and having no religious sig
nificance whatever, so far as known.
Moreover, it comprised not merely a
single day of feasting and merrymak-
ing, but a whole week of it, and was
designed solely for relaxation after
many months of privation and ardu-
Gus toll
There is no record of a similar JOY
Gus celebration in our annals for gen.
erations aftorward, theThanksgivings
referred to in subsequent years until
afser the revolution having been near
ly as strictly religious affairs as Sun
day itself, and so far as we have any
existing evidence not greatly given to
gastronomy. No mention of Thanks
giving is found in contemporary list
of holidays for merrymaking as late
as 1900.
Until as late as the war of 1912, or
later, Thanksgiving was not regular
annual affair, either, it's appointment
being in recognition of special bless
ings, either spiritual or material, and
usually deferred until such an excuse
for its appointment offered, even
though it might be for two or three
years, as was frequently the case. It
usually came in the autumn, however,
and generally a bountiful harvest was
mentioned as an incidental cause.
For more than 60 years after the
arrival of the Pilgrims Thanksgiving
was appointed by the Legislature. and
it's respectful, religious observance
was quite as obligatory as was obedi-
ence to any law of the common
wealth that carries with it a legal
penalty.

FIRE IN BROOKLYN DISTRICT.
Damaged Building to Amount of
 $500 and Stock S1.60O.

Brooklyn had enough excitement for one day yesterday. Following the tragedy which occurred there yesterday morning, fire which could be seen for a long distance away de- stroyed one story building on James street about il o'clock last night.
 The building was at 17 James street, little brick structure, own ed by Philip Prisavage and occupied by John Bruslaitis, a tailor. The building was entirely gutted, only the outer walls remaining standing. The tailor lost his entire stock.
 The fire had big start before 1t was noticed and although the Brook lyn boys arrived at the place before the alarm was through ringing, tLe place was almost entirely destroyed when they reached there. Philip Rafferty and Ed Donahue sent in the alarm. After the firemen ar rived short work was made of the confiagration.
 Only for the prompt work of the fire fighters the buildings adjoining would certainly have gone up. They are two tenement houses and are al- most joined to the burned building. The house at IF James street was filled with smoke and much of the furniture was removed, Some of the occupants after being awakened by Officer Madden thought their lives were endangered and rushed into the street with very little clothing.
 Chief Snagg to-day could assign no reason for the blaze. He esti- mated the loss at about $2,00O. $500 on the building and $1,5O0 on the stock. Bruslaitis was insured for $1,000 and the building for about twice that amount.
