MINE SHAFT OF CONCRETE.

Within mile of Wilkes.Barre, Pa. there is now being completed piece of work by a method which has not before been attempted in the anthra' cite region. It is striking illustra. ton of the complexity of modern an- thracite mining as compared with the simple methods of former days. This job is nothing less than the making oi a concrete shaft wall above ground aud the gradual lowering of 1t 10 en' close a mine shaft. says Cement Age. New York. The concrete en- closure is forty.eight feet and ten inches by fourteen feet wide. Event ually the shaft will be divided, msk' ing in effect three separate shafts, enc to accommodate two cages for hoisting coal. one for a pump and ladder way and one for an upcast air. way.
 T0 sinking the shaft it was first necessary to construct A steel cutting edge. A pit was dug to a depth Of about fifteen feet. On the bottom made perfectly level, was placed this steel cutting edge. which surrounded the location chosen for the shaft. Then molds, or forms, were made of wood and laid upon the steel cutting edge for the concrete walls, to a height of about twenty feet. When the concrete became sufficiently har- deued excavations were made from the center and the dirt hoisted by means of a bucket. As the excava tions progressed the weight of the concrete walls on the steel cutting edge gradually forced its way down. ward.
 As sinking progressed more con crete was laid upon the top of that already hardened. In this manner concrete walls made their own way through the surface. As fast as the concrete hardened under the lower section the forms were removed and another section of the concrete added to the top by the use of the same forms. thus continually adding to the weight. This process was continued until the walls reached q depth Of seventy-nine feet. when solid rock was encountered. At the top the concrete walls extend from fifteen to twenty feet above the ground, so that when the surrounding surface Is under water the shaft may be kept perfectly dry. the height of the walls being more than enough to protect the shaft from the highest water mark ever reached in the vicinity.

white wall will reflect so per cent
of light, whereas a red wallpaper
will reflect only Is per cent. A
light buff or yellow will reflect IS
per cent; dark brown about 12A
per cent. A light apple-green wall
paper will reflect 40 per cent; a
dark green will give US Is per cent.
Dark wood trimmings absorb light;
white wood reflects it. Velvets,
chintzes. burlaps, will also absorb
light; SO will wallpaper, whatever
its color, but a tinted-surface wall
reflects the light. Wallpaper in
patterns is not only one of the
greatest of all known absorbers of
light, but it also has a bad effect
on nerves and eyes.
The palmer the wallpaper the
better for nerves and body, and the
smoother the surface the more light
it will reflect. In selecting wall
paper the way the room faces must
also be taken into consideration
The rooms facing north and east re-
quire lighter colored paper than do
rooms facing south and west.
Care in the selection of tints and
wallpaper will not only lead to a
better and cheaper artificial light,
but will protect the eyesight, save
the nerves and tempers. 1t will
enable all to realize to the greatest
degree the many advantages of ar
tifcial light from the electric cur
rent where many are now using
some inferior illuminant because of
an incorrect impression that electric
light is too expensive.

But at Olivia and Renville the ex-

and those two towns are ready to
consider an independent exchange

Meaning of Protocol.

Like many other English words de-
rived from other languages. protocol"
has long since lost it's original mean
ing. 1t is derived from the Greek
''protos." meaning first. and ''kollan,"
meaning glue. and meant originally a
sheet glued in front Of manuscript
bearing the writer's name and other
particulars. From this the meaning
evolved into that of a rough draft Of
document and was so used by the
Romans, who called it ''protOcOlium."
The definition Of thc word rs used In
modern diplomacy is given as n rough
draft of any document or document
preliminary to some transaction. 1t
likewise is defined as "a diplomatic
document or minute of proceeding
signed by friendly powers in order to
secure certain diplomatic ends by
peaceful means"

C. w. Bethel, ranch and orchard
owner in Lincoln county, WASH, west
of Spokane, has signs with the fore
going words along the fence of his
cherry orchard. Mr.. Bethel has been
troubled by boys and men climbing
into the trees and breaking of the
limbs in their anxiety to get the cher
ries. The signs are his way of keep
ing them out On being asked by
a minister why he chose that way in
stead of appealing to the usual meth
DDS used in such cases the ranch
owner said:
We'll, l remember that when l
was boy l stole cherries and
wouldn't have liked for any one to
have had me arrested. I never de-
stroyed anything, and now l don't
care so much for the cherries as l
do for having the trees broken

Resolutions ADOPTED.
We desire to record our apprecia-
ton of the recognition of the adj
vancei temperance sentiment of the
state in the planks OF the republican,
democratic and prohibition parties.
We conceive them to be an expression
of a principle rather than an en-
dorsement of a particular method
as the object of both is to give the
people an opportunity to eliminate
the saloons.
We deem it advisable that the
moral forces give their vote only to
such candidates as will agree to sup
port the bill adopted by the repre-
sentatives of the moral forces of the
STATE of Washington in convention as
Isembled We desire further to ex-
press our conviction that those men
who took their stand for temperance
legislation at the last session of the
Legislature should be supported at
the primaries AMI the polls.
We urge the organization of local
option clubs or similar clubs all over
the state. Recognizing the present
campaign as one of special opportuni-
ties to the temperance forces of the
state and that it is also fraught with
peculiar dangers owing to the new
ness of the direct primary law, we
urge that so far as possible, in ev-
lery legislative and senatorial district
the temperance forces concentrate
their vote on some one or two of the
candidates rather than jissipate
their vote among large number all
Iof whom may be equally, good.
| Finally.-We urge upon the pas
