DISCRIMINATION

and miners. Operators are under
contract to supply coal, in large
quantities at a stipulated price, out OF
which they have to pay freight
charges. II an increase OF ten cents
a ton should go into effect during the.
life of the contracts, the operators
say they would be forced to lose
money themselves or reduce the
wages of the miners. Il.
The miners are working under a
scale which has about one year
longer TO run. They are opposing the
proposed increase Of freight rates be-
cause It certainly will seriously affect
their wages in the future, even if IT
should not SO affect them immediate
". The operators say the Increase
IN freight rates has been made to ap-
ply to coal from all the mines ex-
cept along the lines OF THE Big -Four
railroad, where the increase is but
five cents per ton. This, the oper-
iators allege, results In discrimination.

which we have inherited from our an
cestors is one that Is used without eff

within 1t an apparatus enabling 1t at
the cost OF nervous and muscular eff

The general need Of glasses arises
from the necessity in modern life Of

stopped beside a little feet Of sponge
divers. Nearly nude, the divers sat on
the edge Of the boat. They held big
stones that would help them descend.
One at time they inhaled three or
four long breaths and then plunged
with their great stones into the blue
water
One boat interested us. It's divers
seemed so graceful and young We
drew nearer, and, by Jove, the divers
were all girls. They were young Greek
girls from Himla, an island near
Rhodes. It seems that in Himla the
sponge diving is carried on by girls
altogether. These girls seemed very
expert Their dark hair knotted on
their shapely heads, they reclined on
the sun warmed deck till their turn
came. Then, graceful as stage dan
GERS, they leaped overheard and in the
seas dim green depths tugged at the
black sponge growths.

had brought a certain quantity Of
sponges from a certain specified

DELMAS GRILLS ABE HUMMEL
Continued from Page 10

testimony, Attorney Delmas IN the
cross examination Of witness brought
from his own lips the fact that he
had been convicted in December,
1905, on charge Of conspiracy IN
the same court room in which ThaW
is being tried. He further admitted
that two indictments for subordina-
ton of perjury are pending against
him and that one Of these ind dict
ments charges him with having
caused false affidavit to be made.
Jerome protested against the wit
ness being dragged Through the
humiliating details" of his trial, but
Justice Fitzgerald declined to inter.
fere. sss.s 5 5ssi
Then Delmas asked Hummel II he
had not heard the speech made by
District Attorney Jerome when
sentence was about to be imposed on
him, when Jerome urged the court to
pass the longest and heaviest SEN
tence within its power upon Hummel
as he had been a menace to the
community for twenty years. Jus
tice Fitzgerald finally sustained an
objection to this and Hummel was not
compelled to answer. .s ~. 5ss
Abraham snydreker, one of Hum
meps clerks, said he took an affidavit
to Whites rooms in the tower and
handed it to woman pointed out to
him as Miss Nesbit. She kept the
affidavit for five minutes and signed
1t, saying she had read it through.
AT the conclusion of this testimony,
District Attorney Jerome asked per-
mission to Introduce carbon and
Photographic copies Of the affidavit in
evidence. 1T was near the closing
hour and Delmas asked that the ad.
journment be taken before arguing
as to the admissibility of the affidavit,
He said that after reading the paper
over he might not object to its being
offered In evidence, coming as it
does.'' he added, "in such question
able shape, we may deem it best to
| have the paper go in evidence"
Jerome announced that when the
matter of admissibility of the Hum.
mel affidavit is disposed of the prose
cution will rest. The defense, how.
ever, will not, Z said Delmas, and he
further intimated that more experts
will be called by him on sur-rebuttal
adjournment was taken until Mon.

The Word Etiquette.

The very high sounding word eti-
quette had a very humble origin, for
etiquette meant simply label. It re-.
ceived its present Specification from
the fact that Scotch gardener who
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the
courtiers walking over his newly made
paths and at length had labels placed
to indicate where they might pass. At
first these labels were not attended to,
but hint from high quarters that in
future the walks of the courtfers must
be within the "etiquettes'' or labels
was promptly attended to. TO keep
within the etiquettess became the cor
rect thing. The meaning Of the phrase
was afterward widened.

BRAIN AND BULLET.
ffhat Happens When tho Skull 10
Pierced by Shot,

Pierced by a Shot.
The results Of firing bullet at a
fat brittle bone and into a soft sub
stance like the brain are very different.
The bone is pierced, and the lateral dis
placement Of it's particles Is very slight
but the brain is thrown aside in all d.
rections. The difference is due to the
different degree Of cohesiveness Of the
particles composing the two bodies or,
10 other words, to the greater fiuidity
Of the softer structure.
Next, the Importance Of fluid con-
tents in intensifying the effects of a
bullet fired through closed recepta-
Gle is shown by one Of Kocher's expert
ments. Two identical tin canisters
were filled with equal quantities of
lint, which in one was dry and in the
other saturated with water.
A bullet Of moderate velocity fired
through them simply perforated the
dry one, but caused the wet one to
burst explosively. Kocher also filled
q skull with water and found that a
bullet fired through it caused bursting
Of the sutures. /.
Very remarkable is the SCATTERING
that results when skulls that have been
filed with water or with wax are
treated In this way, and IL they are
compared with others showing the eff
fects Of bullet wounds under normal
conditions it is easy to appreciate that
the variations presented are depend
ent, In part at least, upon the differ
enee In the character Of the contents -

Why Tears Flow.

All human emotions, however slight
they may be, either decrease or in
crease the circulation of the blood.
Those emotions that bring tears cause
the blood vessels around the eyes to
expand, thus flooding the lachrymal or
tear glands with blood. The tear
glands always secrete little TO keep
the eyes cool and moist and carry OF
specks Of dust through the nasal pas
sages,, but the extra supply Of blood
increases this secretion to such an ex-
tent that 1t cannot go Off in the usual
way, so overflows b
