SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY
 INTO MINING ACCIDENTS
The Government About to Undertake Experiments With Explosives.

Washington, D. C., June 25.-Special cnrresnondence ef The Republican The ''"itAd States government. within the next few weeks, will begin a series p1 scientific investigations into the c1uses pf disasters in Americans coal Enines b the hope that the present l-.--,4-.. iiIv. ,aI,. ma. De reduced to a minimum. By August1. in accord ance with plans approved by Secretary of the Interior Garfield, the interior department will have a complete eX- perimental station in operation on the grounds Of the Arsenal in Pittsburg. Pa.
 For some time before the Hemen- way amendment to the legislative ap- propriation bill. making an appropria- ton bill, making an appropriation of S150,OO0 for this work. became a law and the money available, government officials were busy making tentative plans for the station in order that there might be no delay. This ad- vanced the project to such an extent that the material for the station will be on the ground by July 15t,- and it is expected the station will be in oper- atiOn a month later.

streets had to be made broad boulevards and unsanitary houses give way to more modern dwellings.
 These results have only been reached after a great expenditure of time, money and q careful study of conditions. No where has the remodeling of the old Into the new been more successfully attained than in Brussels, the Belgian capital. Great energy and an enormous sum of money have been spent by the govern ment erecting public buildings, making fine boulevards and laying out parks and gardens.
 This gigantic work was only begun In 1885. and travellers who saw the city before thls date say that no other capi- tai, except Paris, has undergone more marked and quicker changes. King Leo pold H., the present king, deserves credit for much of this work. The first King of the Belgians gave his energy to con solidating the country, bettering the jaws. establishing and enlarging diplO- matic relations at foreign courts.
 When the new King came to ihe throne he realized the important work his father had done and he determined to carry 1t further. He decided that his political work should be the foundation of the Free Congo State. He also promised the people to exert his efforts to make Brus.

sells capital of which they might be justly proud. He took the first steps to remodel the city and to foster art; the government soon saw the yalue of this undertaking and appropriated large sums of money.
 This work was begun fin a systematic and rational manner. Many millions of francs were spent fin improving and en- larging the harbors to better conditions for commerce. Many of the rivers were crooked and needed dredging; these were straightened and made nGviglble and the city was protected with model fOrti- ficatlons, which. besides offering protec- ton. are an adornment to the city.
 The work of making new h0ulevarlS was even more difficult and costly. for part of the city-was bIi!t or a hill and the rest in the valley. Maay of the streets were narrow. steep and ohStrucied by great rows of old houses. The latter

Tn some parts en- tire quarters were rebuilt, and these are now lined with beautiful mansions. This Is especially so of Boulevard Louise, which leads into the Bold de Clambre. 1t Is broad. and has an equestrian drive. besides two roads for vehicles. This Boulevard is adorned with small squares set out with flowers and beautiful statues.

This prompt action was considered necessary because of the fact that the terrible mortality record of last year is being continued into this year. al though 1907 was considered an un- usual one. S,206 being killed in the coal mines as against 2,061 the year before. From unofficial estimates it appears that sixteen men have been killed in the local mines as against 2,O61 the year before. From unofficial estimates it appears that sixteen men have been killed or injured each work day of the year. Just the other week, twenty-three miners were killed and thirty injured in and about Wilkes Barre, Pa.
 At the Pittsburg experimental sta- tion, tests of the various dynamites and powder used in blasting coal will be made with a view to accurately de- termining their safety in the presence of the deadly firedamp and equally deadly coal dust. Explosives of all sorts will be hurled by means of a mortar into a mammoth boilerplate cylinder which has previously been filled with gas. and the effects will be carefully noted. If ignition fails after severe tests. the use of these eXplo- sives will be urged upon the mine owners of the country

Mud and Honesty.

A foreigner who has been in this
country taking notes says that the
American children are kept too clean.
They are robbed of the natural heri-
tage of every child and held ready for
parade in and out Of season. The de-
sire to get close to Mother Earth is an
instinct of nature. The earth is clean
and sweet, and it's only finical dis
tinction in color that makes honest
smut unseemly. There's honesty be-
meath muddy feet and hands and
frocks and trousers. A child with that
outlet won't take the trouble to sneak
and lie. Often child is hauled in"
from an orgy with mud pies, spanked,
washed and clothed afresh, only to go
straight out and offend again in the
face of another licking. If evil comes
Of 1t, 1t should be laid to the punish
ment and not to the mud. Punishment
leads to deceit and to pastimes ON the
sly which leave no trail.
The wife Of a rich self made man
placed her son in fashionable board
ing school with the single proviso that
he was to have good time regard
less Of expense" The father had had
to work hard when boy and wanted
his hopeful brought up differently. So
long as the money lasted the boy es-
capped hard work and honest smut, but
1t Is needless to say he reveled in
swill. Nature must have her pay day
from rich and poor. Soft hands and

"A Warning to Go Slow.

No one can object to calling it a
prosperity panic" if that explanation
of the slump in 1907 is taken as a
warning to go slow as prosperity smiles
again. A year is much too short a time
for learning how to do without and
to find the simple life agreeable all
around. The burned child breads the
fire" only when the burn was a-smart-
ing one and the smarting Of the hang
ON kind.
With the panic for texts the preach
ing OF sermons upon the national sin
Of waste will continue. But the best
sermon Is the lesson that is burned in,
and If we cannot believe that the panic
was real scorcher we can at least
make SURE that the prosperity Of today
is the real thing before we plunge into
a prosperity gait Of high living.
