A Canine Protest.
Feb. "a, 1908.

Feb "a, 1908.
Editor of "The Palisadian"
Dear Editor Palisade has already
achieved fame for its dogs, numerous
but more various. The most pro-
nounced caninophobist may deplore the
quantity but must admit the variety, for
Palisade has dogs of all kinds, colors,
shapes, breeds, ages, sexes and previous
conditions of servitude 1t has the mon
grel and the pedigreed champion, the
he frolicsome puppy and the rheumatic
gated dachshund, the attenuated grey
round, the baying watchdog, the peace
full bulldog, the glabrous Mexican, the
oilous poodle, barking dogs, biting dogs,
playful dogs and fighting dogs; black
dogs, spotted dogs, red dogs, white dogs
and "onery yaller' dogs
Palisade is pround of its dogs and
properly so. 1t can't do enough for
them or have enough of them. When
the Palisade mere man perambulates Its
handsome highways and beautiful by
ways with his progeny, he. goes sur
rounded by crowd of dogs. The
stranger within its gates is met by dogs
The departing visitor IS escorted ny
dogs. Had Mary lived in Palisade, she
would have exchanged pets with Mother
Hubbard
When the respected heads of our re
spective families make the daily Pill
grimage to market they are accom-
panied by dogs, and it is to the custom
of allowing these canine companions to
roam at large among the deEcacles cum
ningly displayed to tempt the appetite
and deplete the purse, that we would
call attention. We do not think it right
that the health and morals of Our four
footed friends should be so Jeopardized
Dear Editor, will you not sound, IN
no uncertain tone, a note of warning
against this needless habit. Let ours
and the dogs mistresses keep the, latter
also, in check, at least in the market: :.
Personally, the writer is very fond OF
dogs. he loves their bark and bite. he
can vouch for the wonderful healing
qualities of hair of the dog that bites
one. he would give to every dog MS
day. but he does not want his provisions
examined or sampled or Inspected by
dogs. Who does? Yours dogmatlcally,
VOX POPULL.

BRITISH MINING JOURNAL
 .CRITICISES EXPERT REPORT T


ica and in Europe, but from somewhat different points of view. In America il will be regarded as a summary of very needful regulations, many of which have long been in force in European coal mines. In Europe the report is especially interesting as a record of certain rather debatable questions upon which certain prominent English and foreign mining specialists, however, seem to be in com plete accord But when we test some of these recommendations in the light of ev- idence given before the mines commits sion in this country, we are not altogether prepared to say that the final report of this commission will ratify this report in it's entirety. It will be noticed that the limiting danger of firedamp, whether in regard to shot-fring, safety-lamps or electrical machinery is placed at per cent of gas. Is this a necessary limit under all circumstances As regards the coal-dust danger. thorough watering is advocated, wherever this is practicable, and partial watering of the floor only is rightfully condemned as both useless and dangerous. Some of the recommenda- tions are rather too vague to be of prac- tical value This Is particularly the case with regard to tinbering. Haulng ac cidents are dealt with by the recommen- dation that suitable travelling roads should be provided for the men, separate from the main haulage roads, which saw ors rather of a counsel of perfection. but may be worthy of adoption in the Utopian colliery of the future.
 With regard to shot-firing, the inspec- tors recommend system of electric shot firing, by which all shots can be fired simultaneously when the men are out of the mine. It Is questionable, however, whether the dangers of such system do not conterbalance it's advantages. The suggestions of special schools for firemen is on the lines of Professor Galloway's plan, outlined before the Bobbinite con- mittee. Without, however, going fur ther into the details of this report, which will probably form food for discussion and argument amongst the mining en- gineers of the United States for long time to come, it may be hoped that the recommendations will be received in proper spirit, and that mine managers across the Atlantic will cordially co-op- crate with the authorities in their earn est endeavor to promote the safety and efficiency of mining operations. If. on the other hand safety is to be sacrificed to commercialism, just as in this coun- try it is apparently being sacrificed, by the supporters of the eight-hour bill, to a political programme, then it is difficult to see how the accident rate in mines can be appreciably reddced
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-24

In some Of the states such as Mary land the laws require the use of the long ton of 224O pounds and this standard is also used in the anthracite region.
 In the compara tive statement of the re- lation of amount of coal produced to population, according 10 the United States census, the production of coal in 1850 was 6.4556S1 tons with a popula- tion of 2S,19l.S76 persons. making a per capita of coal OFFS tons. Ten years later the per capita was 0.514 ton per capita. The ratio of consumption climbs steadily up until 1890 when with a population of 900, the per capita had reached 2.52 tons.
 The increase of population from 1850 to 1900 showed 230 per cent and in the in crease production of coal 40S4 per cent. The director of the census estimates that with population in 1907 of S5,5O0,O00 the capita production was 5.6 tons, thus show ing that for a period of 50 years the per capita production of coal in this country increased rom a little more than a quarter of a ton to five and half tons. This is made all the more interesting when it is known that the consumption of wood at this time is rel atively little less if any, than it was 50 years ago. This takes Into consider ation also an enormous increase of oil for fuel purposes and natural gas.

beginning This means a market for the coking coal of Alabama in iron and steel making It likewise means market for the steam coals of the state through the inevitable development of every line ations commensurate with the progress which Alabama is destined to see in iron and steel making. The value of Alabama's coal is also greatly enhanced by it's proximity to the gulf with the cer- tainty of the fulfilment in part, if not in whole of the prediction made more than 50 years ago by Commodore Maury that the construction of the Isthmau canal would cause the commerce of the world to center in the Gulf Of Mexico.
 It is quite probable there is vast room in Alabama for improvement in mining equipment and in the. handling of coal and the making of coke. Some of the mines and some of the plants are well equipped and thoroughly modern and up- to-date but there are some that used greater scientific skill and energy and more improved methods in mining. These things will come, as they always do, with the growth of industry and with increasing prosperity. As rapidly as new capital can be had for more scientific mining and better machinery and equip ment it should be so invested in order to lessen the cost of production and im- prove the quality of the output. The coal people of Alabama recognize this neces- sity and I am sure that they will meet the situation just as fast as the profit on their present business or the incoming of new capital makes possible

REMARKABLE SHOWING MADE IN THE STATE SINCE 1860-lNTER- EsTlNG FIGURES ON RATIO OF INCREASE IN THE COUNTRY.

It is a remarkable showing for the state of Alabama since 1860 10 have forged to the fifth position in coal production. Pennsylvania, the banner coal state, in the past half century has reduced in amount of production from 74 per cent of the total output of the United States to a fraction under one-half West Vir ginia which produced less than ? per cent in 1870 moved up to 10 per cent in 1907. Illinois which produced per cent in 1860 moved up to something over 10 per cent in 1907. Ohio which at high-tide produced near g per cent fell 10 about 6s4 per cent. Alabama moved from .07 per cent in 1860 to 2-10 per cent of the total production of coal in 1907, thus showing an increase Of 450 per cent.
 The total production of coal in the United States in 1907 was In round num- bers 800 O00.000 tons, in short tons and in cluding anthracite and bituminous

THINKS THE PLAN NOVEL-DATA VALUABLE. FOR COMPARISON. CONDITIONS NOT SlMILAR-iT QUESTIONS WISDOM OF ELEc- TRIc SHOT FIRING.

The Colliery Guardian of London pub lication commenting upon the report of the board of mining experts who visited this country at the request of the federal government analyses the sane with crit ical suggestions. It says:
 The United States government has adopted a novel plan in respect to meas ures to be taken for the prevention of accidents in mines An invitation was made to three European mining special ists, M. V. Watteyne, Herr Carl Mess- ner, and Capt. A. nesbrough to -oper- ate with the United States Geological Survey in drawing up a set of recommen- dations for the consideration of United States colliery managers. These recom- mendations, reproduced at length last week in our columns, are all the more valuable because they are based not only upon the experience obtained in Euro pean coal mines, but also upon it's adaptabiity to conditions prevailing in the United States, after visits to typical coal mines in that country and full dis cussion with col1iery managers, miners and official inspectors. Incidentally the question of wasteful mining is considered, although the main object of the scheme was to increase safety.
 Mining conditions in the United States differ very greatly from those obtaining in Europe at the present day. These diff ferences however, are mainly of an eco- homie rather than of a physical kind The rapid development of the United States coal mining industry has outstripped it's technical organization The result has been waste both of life and of coal. Coal has been got in abundance and cheapy. Its price at the mine has been less than half that paid in Europe. But the boon of cheap coal has been secured partly by the sacrifice of safe conditions of mining and partly by mortgaging the future by picking those parts of the seams that lend themselves to rapid and cheap ex- traction. Whether this is true economy may be considered very doubtful even from business point of view. From the moral standpoint it is reprehensible, and we do not altogether agree with the view that maximum profit at any sacrifice should be the chief concern of colliery proprietors. It is to the credit of the United States government that it is awak- ening to a sense of it's responsibilities in connection with the regulation of indus try.
 The joint report presented by Messrs. ~Watteyne, Meissner and Desbrough to Mir Secretary Garfield will be looked upon as an important document both in Amer
