The recent coal mine disasters have
brought forcibly to view the necessity for
stringent supervision by the government,
of the conditions under which the miners
work, as is the case in foreign countries.
Loss OF life is three times as great in
American coal mines as in the coal mines
of Europe. The chief cause of the dis
asters here. according to Chief of the
Neurological Division of the u S., is that
practical miners do not understand the
conditions under which they are work.
ing. AS miners go deeper each year into
the earth the chance of accidents becomes
greater, and in most of our mines in the
principal coal districts depth has been
reached where conditions are beyond the
reach of practical miners to grasp or
remedy Practically all mine disasters
are the result of explosions of coal dust
or coal gas, or combination of both.

properly, and has more recently been
made use of by Louis Brennan, the same
inventor, in the mouorail railroad that he
is building for the British War Office. III
this railroad Brennan uses two gyro-
scopes to keep the car upright on a single
rail, and the new type of line really does
some remarkable feats in hill climbing
and balancing
But the application of the gyroscope OF
vessels is something new and has had
equally startling results. DIR. Van
Schlick. German, has been the man to
perfect the device. He has tried it in
one Of the German torpedo boats and
found that gyroscope installed aft the
engine room kept the vessel almost
perfectly level in sea that without the
device made it roll IS degrees. The adj
vantage of this in securing steady gun
platform is of course incalculable 1t is
questionable whether room could be
spared in very large vessel for suf-
iciently large gyroscope to keep her
steady, but it has proved to be easily
applicable to torpedo boats and destroy

to install one experimentally in one of the

The good.roads movement appears to
be making steady progress in other sec
tious of the State outside of Cecil. In sew
eral counties enthusiastic meetings have
recently been held and good-road clubs
organized. In Allegany county move
ment has been launched which has for its
purpose the issue of $I25. 900 of bonds for
permanent road improvement, an equal
amount to be secured from the State
under the provision of the Shoemaker act.
1t is proposed to spend $50. 900 year for
five year.
The movement for better roads in Cecil,
once so active, seems to be lying dormant.
when we are much better prepared to
carry on the work, so far as the possession
of steam roller. aud other machinery are
concerned. The one great draw back is
lack of funds, and if any further progress
is to be made it is evident some such plan
as that proposed in Allegany county will
have to he resorted to.
Good roads afford better market facili-
ties, decrease the cost of transportation
and materially increase the value of the
real estate in the communities through
which they run. These facts have been
impressed upon the farmers of Maryland
largely through the fundamentally of the
highways division of the Maryland Geo,
logical Survey. Under its supervision
about seventy miles of roads have been
built throughout the various counties,
and without an exception, so far as can
be learned, the people of every COM
munity wherein piece of modern road
has been constructed are anxious to have
the work continued.

We have completed the North

last year; it is a very substantial
two story brick, 81 feet by Sc feet,
at total cost of $13, 520.O7 to the
School Board. In addition to this

lot, and the teachers and pupils
placed a handsome metal ceiling

In 1851 pineapples were rare in San
Francisco. One day in that year one
Of the passengers who had crossed the
isthmus of Darien before leaving Pan
anna purchased from one Of the ma
tives of that place a dozen pineapples
for quarter of dollar, and when he
landed in San Francisco he had six
left. He was carrying these from the
landing place at the foot Of Vallejo
street, where there were boat steps at
the end Of twenty foot wharf, which
new arrivals approached by Whitehall
boats from the steamers that In those
days anchored in the stream 800 yards
from shore. The man was accosted
suddenly by a stranger who asked
him what he wanted ''for that lot Of
pineapples."
''They are not for SALE"
"But l want them," said the Cali
fornian.
'T'll sell you three" said the new ar
rival, who on the voyage had heard
that San Francisco people were liberal
buyers, and he added, "but they'll cost
you SIS each"
"Take EN-" was the curt reply. and
the fruit changed owners, the resident
passing over Spanish coin known
then as a gold "ounce," worth SIC in
trade.
Before the new purchaser had NOV
ed across Battery street, where the
transaction had taken place. he was
accosted by an acquaintance, who ask
ed him to let him have the fruit. A
dicker followed for two of them, the
acquaintance paying $40 apiece for
them. Later in the day the first pur-
chaser was boasting Of the rapid man
ner by which he had cleared SIS and
still had fine pineapple for supper

PORT AaTnUR's DEFENSE.
Report Of Actual commsndsnt Is Sen
satlonal In the Extreme.

81. Petersburg. Feb. ga copy OF
the secret report on the defense OF
Port Arthur. which is the basis OF the
indictment on which Lieutenant Gen.
eral Stoessel. Lieutenant General
Fock. who commanded the Fourth
East Siberian division at Port Arthur.
and Major General Reiss, chief-of.
staff OF General Stoessel. are standing
trial for their lives before the supreme
courtmartial. has been obtained by
the Associated Press.
II is OF the greatest interest as ex'
planning the decision TO try these three
officers and nolle prosequi the other
defenders OF Port Arthur The report.
which was written by Lieutenant Gen
eral Smirnoff. the actual commandant
OF the fortress, IL sensational In the ex-
treme and categorIcally accuses Stoes-
sci OF cowardlce and incapacity and
finally OF the deliberate. treasonable
fastening OF the surrender 10 save his
own life and In defiance OF the decis.
Ions OF two successive councils Of war.
The report Is biased In the extreme.
brcathes the most bitter personal en-.
nifty. and shows that the high officers
OF the Port Arthur garrison In the
darkest days OF the siege were almost
at each others throats. The indici-
ment is summed up In conclusion by
General Smirnoff as follows:
"a series OF objectionable blunders
outside the fortress due TO the ignor.
ance and lack Of military capacity and
material prowess OF Generals Stoessel
and Fock brought about the invest.
ment Of the fortress several months
earlier than necessary. and after the
investment a desire for undeserved
glory movd Stoessel TO interfere In the
defense with unfortunate results.
Finally. at the last period Of the siege
stoessel usurped my authority with
the assistance OF Generals Fock and
Reiss and committed treason in sur.
rendering suddenly rnf nrematurely.
I regard our defsrf '' 'pkt.cn as a
