Discipline in the Coal Mines
of Great Britain

son has fallen gradually from 314 tons
in 1899, to only 279 in 1904. Whether
this slowing down OF 55 tons in five
years is due to the greater difficulties
of mining or to the attitude of the
miner Is an open question
1t is the general impression that the
death rate is lower in the British than
in the American mines. This is true il
the rate be based on the number en-
ployed, but such 8 comparison Is not
quite fair, because it takes into ac
count only one of the three elements
in the problem The following COM
parison, using the last complete sta
tistics, those OF 1904. tends to show
that the British death rate is, in fact.

mage would require 1,262.761 British
miners, while to produce it in 202 days
would require 1.637.SSS British miners
The employment of that number Of
British miners, estimating at their own
death rate, would cost about 2O35 lives.
or at the rate of about 5.77 lives per
100000 tons mined, which is higher
than the American death rate.
Putting the matter in another form.
the British death rate is reduced 1.33
lives per 100000 tons by producing
coal at slower speed. and the Amer
lean death rate is increased by 1.22
lives per 100000 tons. by the higher
intensity OF production. but TO balance
this loss in part the Americans have
the use of 1.042.070 men for employ
ment in other Industries.

Cold That Kills and Cold That Cures.
In England severe cold generally
kills a good many people. In certain
parts Of North America cold still more
severe puts new life into them. It re-
Quires no augmentation to show that
there must be a definite reason for this.
The chief reason Is that English cold
is mostly damp, while in North Amer,
ica 1t Is mostly dry. There is the great
est difference in the world between dry
air and damp air. The former is usu-
ally air pure and simple, possessing a
full quantity of oxygen and often
charged highly with ozone. The latter
consists Of air mixed with the vapor OF
water. When the former air, fully
oxygenated, Is breathed it stimulates
more powerfully than c~hamnagne. The
latter. less oxygenated and charged
with vapor of water, not only does not
stimulate, but depresses.-Public Opin-
ion.

In Far Counties.

When the shower anne up the artist,
who was walking through New Hamp-
shire on a sketching tour, sought shell
ter under a tree, where he was soon
joined by another wayfarer, a man Of
middle age, who looked a sort of better
class tramp, and indeed was one.
The two entered into conversation,
and it came out that the wayfarer was
a harness maker by vocation, but a
ove by prediction.
Eyes," he said, I'm a rolling stone.
I'm eve happy in n place. Pm here
today and gone tomorrow. There amt
any fossil about me. I'm on the move
all the time. The world is made to
see, l say, and I'm bound to see all l
ear of it."
The artist began to think that he had
fallen in with a modern Marco Polo,
and by way Of leading up to some in
teresting anecdotes Of the antipodes he
remarked:
"you must have been quite a trav.
eler."
"Well, that's about So" the mar
modestly replied. II reckon I could
find my way over New Hampshire
with my eyes shut, and I was once two

Ironmonger.

The word "ironmonger" has as curl
u an origin as any other word in the
English language. 1t means literally
an eater of iron and came to it's present
use in this way. There was once a law
that forbade buying fish to sell again,
and the fish hawkers, who still carried
on their trade in spite of this law, were
facetiously termed fish eaters or fish
mongers, for, to evade the law, their
large purchases of fish were said to.be
for their WI consumption. Gradually
the term monger was applied to other
trades, as cheesemonger, until at last
it came to NEAR any middle man, as
distinguished from a manufacturer. and
so was applied to the dealer in hard.
ware.-London Graphic.

The Use of Quinine.

People who suffer with the liver and
who get u down in nerve strength
sometimes complain that quinine does
them no good, says a physician. The
reason is this: When quinine passes
into the intestine it is acted on by the
bile and forms with it a salt that Is
soluble only In a great excess Of bile,
so it passes out of the system without
entering the blood at all. To prevent
this bilious persons ought to clear out
the bile by a good liver pill or a saline
%purgative before the quinine is taken.
Even when the liver is not affected it
Is always best to take such medicines
before using Quinine.

GLASS OF THE ANClENTS.

The of Thebes Were Experts
Many Centuries Ago.
The glassblowers of ancient Thebes
are known to have been as proficient
in that particular art as Is the most
scientific craftsman Of the same trade
Of the present day after a lapse of
forty centuries Of SO called progress"
They are we'll acquainted with the
art Of staining glass and are known to
have produced that commodity in
great profusion and perfection. Ros-
selini gives an illustration of a piece of
stained glass known to be 1000 years
old, both in tint and design. In this
case the color Is struck through the
vitriied structure, and he mentions de-
signs struck entirely in pieces from a
half inch to three-quarters of an inch
thick, the color being perfectly incor-
porated with the structure Of the piece
and exactly the same or both the OBJ
verse and reverse sides.
The priests Of Ptah at Memphis were
adopts In the glassmaker's art, and not
only did they have factories for manu-
featuring b common crystal variety,
but they had learned the vitrifying Of
the different colors and the imitation
of precious stones to perfection. Their
limitations of the amethyst and of the
various other colored gems were so
true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands from
1000 to 1000 years, it takes an expert
to distinguish the genuine article from
the spurious. 1t has been shown that,
besides being experts in g~lassmaking
and glass coloring, they used the dia-
mond in cutting and engraving glass.
In the British museum there is q beau
tiful piece Of stained glass, with an
engraved ~emblazonment of the mon

The people of North Dakota
have reason to feel pleased with
the work of their commissioner
of insurance, f. C. Cooper, and it
is certain that they will wish to
see him returned to his present re!
sponsible position for a second
term Mr.. Cooper has had many
years experience in insurance
business, which, with his we'll bal
anced executive ability, makes
him a strong man for his present
position. He has been able to
keep companies of questionable
responsibility from entering the
state and in consequence there
have been no insurance frauds
perpetrated under cover of
license during his term. Mr..
Cooper is from Grand Forks and
the people of his county have
every reason to feel proud of his
record, and it must be exceed
lngly gratifying to his home
people to know that his work is
looked upon with so much favor
in all parts of the state and
especially in Western North
Dakota.

THE ATMOSPHERE.
First Attempt to Weigh 1t Was Made
by Aristotle.

First Attempt to Weigh 1t Was Made
by Aristotle.
If we are to believe both legend and
history, the first attempt to weigh air
was that made by Aristotle, the great
Greek philosopher of the fifth century.
He first weighed an empty goatskin
bag and then inflated it and again put
It in the balances, and because he
found no difference in weight under
the two conditions announced to the
world that air was q substance wholly
without weight.
With modern laboratory apparatus
most any high school scholar can dem
o%nstrate the fact that a flask of ten
cubic inches capacity weighs fully
three grains more when filed with air
than it does after being placed under
the exhaust of IN air pump. The nu-
merous experiments that have been
made on the weight of air warrant the
scientists in announcing that the
weight Of the whole terrestrial atmos-
phere IS about equal to that Of a solid
copper ball sixty-two miles in diameter.
The philosophers have also shown that
the weight of the atmosphere must be
limited to where gravity overcomes the
centrifugal force. If it were of equal
density throughout it's height above the
earth, it could not extend a greater alti-
tude than 27,818 feet, which would
leave about 1000 feet Of Mount Ever
est sticking out above the atmosphere.
1t is a well known fact, however, that
air loses its weight and density as we
ascend from the sea level, and calcula-
tons which have been made on that
basis go to show that there may be a
stratum Of very thin air at a height Of
21,OOO miles.

ieth of an inch in diameter and one
hundred and twentieth Of an inch
In height, it would correctly denote the
proportions man bears to the gigantic
globe upon which he stands.
