ART IN SPANISH BANK NOTES.
Expected to E,ffle counterfeiters
Even r'crc Than Rapid Changes.

Even Gre fnar Rapid Changes.
To bafie the counterfeiters who are
both numerous and cunning in Madrid,
the Bank OF Spain has pursued the
policy OF changing its notes with great
frequency and retiring each issue as
fast rs possible.
The bank has now determined on a
new plan. 1t has placed an order for
series OF notes with an English con-
Germ, and 1t will rely for safety upon
a special color process. In addition
the notes are to present pictures OF
well-known buildings in Spain, exc
cuted with perfection that will defy
counterfeitihg.
The pictures are to be SO beautiful
that amateurs will be tempted to
frame them says one Spanish news
paper. Hardly" rejoins another,
the cost Of the set will be 1875 pese-
tas yon see" TO the Spanish mind
$23s.50 is a great deal OF money.

DEN MARK.

Over 100 Danish athletes participat.
ed in the Olympic games at London,
some of them being women, who took
part in the gymnastics. The Danish

crowns to defray the expenses of the
athletes so as to insure a full repre-.

The value of the export of eggs
pork and butter from Denmark to
England during the first five months
of the present year is no less than
5,604,000 crowns in excess of the
shipments during the same period last
year This is good illustration OF
the rapid growth of the dairy, swine
and chicken industries in the country
In 1905 Denmark exported 10000
horses; in 1906 $4,000, and in 1907
only 10000 From this it might ap
pear that fewer horses are now being
produced than formerly, but such is
not the case The demand for horses
In Denmark has greatly increased
largely owing to the activity of the
tenants or "husmaend," who are as
serting themselves as never before
In 1906 only 5000 horses were i'm
ported, whereas in 1907 the number
had risen to $4,000, or 1000 greater
than the number exported. The
horses imported are mostly of small
type and are purchased by the ten
ants.
The sugar factories of Denmark
arc ENJOYING exceptional prosperity
Their business was so good in 1907
that they we're able to declare divi
dend of II per cent. and the shares
have risen 200 per cent in value. Al,
present there are only six factories il
the country, but the number is sure
to increase, now that the success q
such enterprises has been SO well es
tablished
A fine new administration building
for the national railways of Denmark
is to be erected at Copenhagen.

TO TEACH MINERS
RULES FOR SAFETY
SCHOOL TO BE ESTABLISHED IN
ANTHRACITE REGION FOR
INSTRUCTION..

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 25.-
The anthracite coal mining companies
are about to embark upon an educa-
tional scheme which, the officials
think, will do more to lessen the mum.
Der OF accidents than any other that
could be devised. Its purpose Is to
give to the rank and 1le OF mine
workers the opportunity to learn min
ing from experts. They will learn,
at the same time. how to protect
themselves and their fellows and how
to overcome the difficult engineering
problems encountered in the anthra-
cite fields.
The pioneer In the movement Is the
Lehigh Valley Coal company. 1t is
practically certain that the other large
anthracite mining companies will fol-
low suit. giving practically every mine
employee the opportunity for instruc-
ton. The door to- promotion will thus
be thrown open to the humblest toiler.
At Lost Creek the Lehigh Valley
has made arrangements to open the
first school about Oct. 1. A room has
been fitted up with desks. blackboard
and other necessary paraphernalia. A
reference library and periodicals de-
voted TO mining subjects are also pro-
vided. Everybody in the mine. from
veteran miner down to breaker boy
will be invited to attend.
The hope that the educational work
will substantially reduce accidents Is
based upon facts recently reported by
the state department Of mines. James
E. Roderick. chief of the department,
says that the great majority of casu.
alties are due TO ignorance or careless
ness.
The foreigners entering the mines
these days have much less intelligence
and education than those who formed
the bulk OF the working force a gen.
Grafton ago.
With the school at Lost Creek as q
kind Of experiment, those In charge Of
the scheme will formulate a rather
elaborate system. AS soon as its de.
tails are definitely decided upon the
Lehigh Valley will establish about a
dozen other schools accessible to its
various collieries.
Especial emphasis will he laid upon
the protection Of life and limb. No
text book will be regarded as Of so
much importance as the rules and
regulations for safety.

Mr.. Olney's Letter.

The Democratic party's case In this
campaign has never been expressed
more clearly than by former Secretary
Olney In his singularly able letter &c
the New York World printed recently;
1T is true that the Democratic
party Of today is made up OF groups
with diverse views and aims on var
ious more or less important topics
Yet, taken as q whole, 1t u the best
organized protest there Is against Re
publican misrule-against the ex
cesses OF all sorts brought on by the
long Republican revel In unlimited
power-against excesses In expendi
lures, In taxation, In territorial ex
pansion, In the creation and mainten
ance Of military ornaments, In the
enlargement OF the sphere Of govern
mental action, In the concentration OF
power In the general government &c
the enfeeblement of the state govern
ments.
Whoever believes In the prevail
ing policies and tendencies OF the Re
publican party will Of course act witt
that party. In the pending presidential
contest. But whoever believes thos'
policies and tendencies to be uciou
and Injurious can record his belief an
make II effective In no other wa
than by acting with the Democrat
party"
