to be getting it's coal from week 10
 week as 1t rushes from Vancouver
 island Cand Crows Nest mines. The bunkers at Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Vancouver, Victoria, San Francisco, and other coast towns are practically empty all the time.
 An idea of the shortage of coal might be gleaned by the difficulty the White Pass has had In getting the cargo that is now being discharged by the Well liugton. That vessel lay at Comox for nearly two weeks waiting for an oppor- tunity to get cargo and got it then because the Canadian Pacific neglected to send barge from Vancouver for the coal at the time appointed. After she had taksn her cargo large bonus was offered to divert it to Portland. When the Wellington reached Ketchikan another effort was made to get all or a part of the cargo.
 This shortage of coal is stimulating the work of opening up Alaskan coal mines, It is also responsible for the action of the president in withdrawing from entry all coal lands in Alaska and the American Pacific states to the south out of us. His purpose is to pre- vent all the coal supply of the country from falling into the hands of a few people if that be possible.

THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.

The Thrlce-a-W Week World was a brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of APP
proval on the Thrice-a- Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more exten-
sive than ever. All events of Importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or. six times the

The Thrice-a-Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
| of interest.
The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular sub.
scription price is only $1.00 per year ano
this pays for 1866 papers. We offer this un
| equaled newspaper and THE SMYRNA TIMES

THE CABS OF NEW YORK.
They Are Not an Integral Part of the
Life of the City.


Life of the City.
The cab is no integral part of New
York life. Venice without the gondola
were as unthinkable as woman with
out hair. No little of London's COM
peIling charm is in its swift rolling
hansoms. These things we know. But
one can't think Of New York In terms
of cabs. Once upon a time l was in
exile. Only in memory did the great
city rise before me, and what l saw
was this: Huge canyons of stone and
steel. filed with noise and darkness,
through which great yellow worms
craNled, one after the other, in mid
air. That is the picture of New York
that haunts the exile, even as the out
Iawed Venetian is obsessed by slim
black gondolas cutting across lanes of
moonlight. Your true New Yorker is
a steam projected, electrically carted
person. Only in exceptional moments
of gloom or gayety does he ride lin
carriage and pair" He is carriage
ridden to a funeral. He cabs it in
winey moments, when the fear of Goo
is not in him. There are only 2,00(
licensed cabs and hacks on the islan(
of Manhattan. Others there are, o.
course, plying practically in the darl
quarters. but even with these thrown
in the reckoning is small. No; the New
Yorker is not cabby person.-Vanc

what Breathing Amounts To.

In each respiration an average adult
inhales one pint of air. A man respires
sixteen to twenty times a minute, and
young child about twenty-five to
thirty-fve times. While in a standing
posture the number Of respirations is
greater than when lying down. A man
takes only thirteen breaths of air to the
minute while reclining. The superficial
surface of the lungs is 200 square
yards. The amount of air inspired by
an adult in twenty-four hours is about
10000 quarts. The least amount of air
needed by an adult in one hour is 3SC
quarts. The heart sends through the
lungs 5000 gallons of blood daily.
