Tinted Lungs.

One Of the exhibits in an English
anatomical museum is a collection Of
three lungs preserved in alcohol. On
one hand is an exhibit almost pure
white, while the third is jet black, the
one between being dirty gray.
The first was taken from an Eskimo
who all his life had inhaled the pure air
of his northern home. The black was
taken from miner who had spent
years in the production of coal. The
third was from the body of London
man, and the tint was produced by the
inhalation Of the SCOT carried in the
air
It is certain fact that the lungs of
the miner were in a more healthy state
than those Of the city dweller, since
the grit in his tissues was pure coal
dust, while the discoloration of the other
was due not alone to SCOT, but to the
dust of a city's streets composed Of a
thousand and one deleterious elements.

Washington, April 16.-In the pres
ence Of distinguished assemblage
with the president of the United States
taking prominent part, with the SUI
preme court and the senate, the house
of representatives and the diplomatic
corps, as spectators, and before large
cOncourse of people, the cornerstone

Sive ceremonies i'll the afternoon. The
address of the day was made by Pres
ident Roosevelt who spoke on THE
Man with the Muck Rake"
Recognizing the existence of evils,
social and economic, the president
urged warfare, but deplOred the ac-
lions of those who make indiscrimin-
ate attacks on men in business Or pub
lie life, declaring such course would
only react in favor of the unscrupu-
lous.
The huge fortunes being amaSSed in
this country are regarded as a menace
to public welfare and a progressive tax
is urged whereby these fortunes should
be cWtailed and limited to certain
amount
Rich men are also warned of the
danger in attempting to prevent the
regulation and control of their business
in the interest of the public.

The history of the drum goes back
to the childhood of the world The
Greeks ascribe it's invention to Bac-
chus. The Egyptians had it at least
1000 years before Christ. Pizarro
found drums in South American tenn
pies. The snakes of Ireland, we are
told, fed from the island before the
drumbeats of st. Patrick. Our Puri-
tan ancestors used the drum as
church bell. When Sir Edmund Andres
ordered the drums to "strike up to
drown the voice of protesting colonists,

KILLED IN LEAD MINE FLASH
One Man Dead and Another May Sue
cumb at PlatteviIle.


Platteville, Wis, April 17.-One man
is dead and another may not live as
result Of a premature explosion Of
dynamite in the we'll known Enterprise
mine here. Stephen Roupan, Of Bell
Center, who died at the hospital, and
a man named Lester of Platte City,
Mo-, were in the mine shortly after
the departure Of the day shift, placing
dynamite for blasting. 1t is said that
they were tamping in the explosive
with steel rods. The dynamite ex-
plOded prematurely and both men were
frightfully injured by the flying rock.
Roupan's hands were completely
torn off and rock the size of an egg
was blown through his arm. Lester
received serious injuries about the
body and head. Both men were taken
to the hospital and placed under the
care Of Drs. Cunningham and Buck.
Roupan died shortly after his arrival.
Both men had been at work in the En-
terprise mine less than a month. 1t is
probable that the Enterprise mine will
be closed for a few days as a result
of the accident.
