THE SKIES In MARCH.
Ing Sun--The Splendid Constel-
lation of Winter.

As the month proceeds the retreat of
winter before the northward advancing
sun becomes a route. Buster as he may
he must go, and stand not on the order
of his going. On an average of the month
the sun each day stands higher in the
sky at noon by measure equal to about
two thirds of his own disc, says the New
York Globe on March q at 1 p. m. the
sun will reach the equator, and winter
must literally get of the earth. Every
where days and nights will be of equal
length. and at either pole the sun Will
just show above the horizon, at one The
sunset beginning six months of night and
at the other the sunrise of an equally long
day.
As the sun shines steadily on age upon
age. regard ess of the gytntions OF the little
spinning earth 90, 100000 miles away, the
latter always must have one-half its sur
face. and no more, Illuminated. 1t is evil
dert also that at one point on the earth's
3surface. the center of the illuminated
half, the sun must appear In the zenith
Also 1t must appear east of half, west of
Khalf, north of half, and south of half the
illuminated portion Where the sun is in
the zenith, there for the moment 1t Is
noon. At the eastern edge of the illum-
inated portion is sunset; at the western
the sun Is rising. This condition is con-

Forever shifting, moving constantly west

hour, and moving north or south with
he season at rates varying at from less
han mile n day at the solsticcs to
thirty-fve miles a day at the equinoxes.
This heat is very unevenly distributed.
The surface Immediately overhung by the
SUMS disc Is very small. This small sur
face receives practically the same rays
which would fall upon a fiat surface, but
bill the rest of the illuminated portion re-
teives less and less, until at the edge the
sun appears at the horizon, and here Only
feeble fraction of his rays are re-
teived, the rest passing over our heads

MR., NUGENT

Writes a Letter to Charleston News
Reiterating His Former
Announcement.

The following letter to the Char
lesion News of Wednesday. Nav
10, explains the Investigation re-,
Gently made of the Whipple mine
by the President of q. NJ. w. A.
OF this districts: Relative to an
article appearing in your issue of
May 9Th of which it seems n large
number of copies in regard to the
explosion at the Whipple mine
and my report to the committee as
to the cause of the explosion, have
been circulated and myself per.
sonally critized by supposed
friends, i desire to say have
made no report to .pthc COMMITTEES
but simply in talking the matter
over, stated to them, in the pres
ence OF the officials of the com
pany, that if the two men of the
Whipple mine, who had drilled
the three holes, and fired them
with dynamite it was my opinion
That II no explosion had occurred as
the result of the firing of these
holes, the men firing the shots
should have been sent to the peni
tcntary.
And while have made no report
to the legislative committee, L desire
to say that the equipment at the
mine, in every particular, both us
to permanency, quality of machin-
cry and the size and character of
the fan are the second to none in
the country: they are equipped with
sufficient power to ventilate prop
erly and render harmless any gases
generate in any mine of mines ten
times the area of any mine have
visited, II properly managed and
the current properly conducted.
10 successfully operate there must
be strict discipline, practical work
manshlp, rigid examinations and
mutual co operation between miner
and mine owner.
w hen l make my report I ex-
pect to do it honestly, fairly, i'm
partially to the best ofmy ability,
and will defend that report practic.
ally and scientifically against all
corners. What in my Judgment
we need in West Virginia is prac-
tlcal men, mutual cooperation
looking towards the best results
from every man who goes down in
the mine" Yours for right

OUR LABOR
DAY CELEBRATION
Committee Should Get Busy at
Once and Begin Active
Preparations.

We would again call the atten-
ton of the Labor Day Committee
to the ACCESSIBILITY of early making
preparations for the celebration of
the day in manner that would
meet with the approval of those
VINO We're responsible for the es-
tablishment of the day. There
should be something more than
amusement provided; the educa
tonal features should not be over
looked.
This city stands practically alone
In its manner of celebrating the
day. Almost everywhere else chief
interest centers in the speech max
ing. Early in the season the com.
mlttees in charge begin actively to
seek men of prominence to ad-
dress people on the day, and by
this method to arouse in those who
are members renewed activity and
to show to the outsiders the reasons
why they should be a part of the
movement.
On no other day in the year is
the opportunity so great for doing
PROSECUTING work. The sentiment
is abroad; every person has feel.
Ing of sympathy for the man of
toll. Differences are forgotten,
and the desire to be part of those
who arc seeking a betterment be.
comes manifest everywhere.
In recent years the pulpit has
largely adopted the plan of touch
ing on the labor question on the
Sunday preceding the day, and
small indeed is the community that
can not boast of at least one labor
sermon. In fact, almost every.
where 1T has become the custom for
some one to be selected from among
the pastors to deliver sermon and
to which the labor people are in
vited. Thus it is seen that through
oratory lies the means of adding
strength to the cause.
And so we urge the delegates to
give some attention to this side of
the question. Let there be amuse-
ments and in plenty. But let
there be a time set for speaking,
during which period all amuse-
ments on the ground shall cease.
If there be any who do not desire
to listen to the addresses there will
be none to compel them to do
otherwise.
The committee will be surprised
at the numbers who will take ad-
vantage of the opportunity of
listening to the remarks of some
one capable of representing the
labor question as it is understood
by trades unionists.

true of unionism, which will not
