GIVES LOCATION OF THE SOUL
Man Who Hopes to Photograph II
Says II Is in the Throat.

New York.-"The soul Of a man is
soft and gelatinous. small. practically
shapeless, and situated beneath the
first rib. Below the Adams apple in
a man, and in woman at the base Of
her throat, is a spot of little or no re-
sistance. 1t is from this place when
the hour of death has come that the
soul must be taken. 1t does not pass
like shadow. 1t is not a flight. The
soul must be drawn out by an angel
sent by God to perform this opera.
tion. and this seat of life is trans
ferred, warm, palpitating. to a body
the counterpart of the one It has left.
1t is substance, material. and could be
az well caught by the camera as the
human face"
1t was thus that Henry Price OF
Mount Vernon explained recently his
theory of the souls passage and the
possibility Of obtaining a Photographic
reproduction thereof.

all men have souls. You may and

TO SAVE THE COAL SUPPLY.
Crude Methods Of Production Have
Caused Immense Waste.

Washington. - The government,
through the United States geological
survey is planning with the producers
of coal to place far in the distance the
day when the country's coal supply
shall be exhausted. Crude methods
Of production, with more attention
paid to cheap production than to saw
ing and scientific methods of mining.
have resulted in an astonishing waste
Of coal This will never be recog.
nized, for It lies buried deeply in
abandoned mines now filled In. Also,
1t is planned to prolong and regulate
the supply OF coal by new methods
of mining. which will, no doubt, result
in adding many years to the existence
of the now available supply.
The extravaganza in the production
of coal, amounting to almost criminal
waste, has not had the effect of re
ducing the cost to consumers. This,
at least, is the opinion of Edward w.
Parker, of the geological survey, who
was a member of President Roose
velt's coal strike commission, and pro
badly is more familiar with coal con.
ditions than any man in the country.
"one of the greatest problems to
overcome in the production of COAL
said Mr. Parker, lis a reduction in the
waste of mining Only a few years
ago only 40 per cent. of the coal in
a mine was marketed. Sixty per cent.
was lost. Cheap mining methods
caused this waste. Under improved
methods the waste has now been re-
duced to from 30 to 40 per cent"
