PINE TREES IN SICK ROOM.

PINE TREES IN SICK ROOM.
When Emperor Francis Joseph had
been i'll three weeks, a Vienna dis
patch gave the following notes on the
case:
THE disease itself is not causing
any actual uneasiness, the main reason
for solicitude being found in the gen
eral condition of the aged monarch.
The efforts of the attending physicians
are being directed toward averting, in
every way possible, anything that
would tend further to reduce the pa
TENTS strength. Everything possible
is being done to supply the emperor
with fresh air and a miniature garden
composed of small pine trees has been
improvised in the imperial bedroom.
The pines are said to have a bench
cial effect. An evaporator has been
set up in the room adjoining that OF
the emperor and vapors are waited
into the sick room.
Up to the present time the emperor
has worn a military uniform. but on
the advice of his physicians he is nov
clad in blouse which covers his chest
completely. On his head he wears an
old fatigue cap, such as was the fash
ion in the Austrian army several de-
cades ago"

the next eight months in quantities
sufficient to supply the entire Pacific
slope with fuel for domestic purposes.

through factiona1 control of men who
believed in and others who disputed
the existence of coal there. Now prac-
teal eastern coal men, combined with
weIl-known California mining and oil
men have secured possession of the
land. and they intend to press the
work of actual development of what
is said to be huge source of coal
of good quality. Work, it is said, was
started on October IS on the property
which lies on the western slope of the
coast range of mountains, in the south
easterly part of Monterey county, near
the Fresno line.
