THE BATTLE-sH1Ps ARE COMING
By W. G. Shepard.

The battle-ships are coming! The feet
| is under sail;
| The bloodhounds of the ocean have
| taken to the trail;
| They are chasing down the courses
where the Forty-niners went,
The blue path breaks to witness where
their noses take the scent.
They're coming, boys, they're coming,
and the pack is good to see,
AS it races down the speedway of the
south wind blowing free;
The Horn is far behind it, bark! the
bugle IS sounding clear
Let the Western coast-line answer with
million-t hroated cheer.
They have come from loosened tether
on a far free-footed quest,
From an era that is passing, to future
dimly guessed;
They have felt the primal passion to
roam where life is free
They have scented mighty hunting,
these 'Huskies of the sea.
For they come where waits the future
on the threshold of the world,
Where the earth's most potent banners
shall tomorrow be unfurled;
To theater of action where the play
shall run its length,
Where the destiny of nations shall
measuse strength with strength.
They are actors in a drama that may
picture peace or war,
They are factors in progress that is
moving fast and far;
Theirs to haunt the paths of commerce
and to guard the ocean ways,
Theirs, perchance, to convoy nations to
the peace of coming days.
Then lift your voice, o people, in mil
lion-throated cheer;
Send the echoes rolling seward
there s a waiting world TO hear;
Mayhap thousand ages of the epochs
yet to be
Are breaking through the offing with
these watchdOgs of the sea.
Lift up. lift up your voices, let the
sounding chorus ringl
Let the Golden Gates of Welcome to the
sailors open swing;
The West is giving greeting in the
name of coming years
Now, hail your own Armada with the
salvos of your cheers.

A ARAGEDY.

I told him then story, a bright and
novel story,
A yarn that hadn't fought and died,
like many yarns. We know
yarn that hadn't struggled on far
off fields of glory,
A yarn that hadn't suffered from the
foe
With chosen words I told it,
With gestures to unfold it.
With gestures of significance to de-
corate the text
My manner, too, was sprightly,
My wit was sparkling brightly,
And gave no hint. no slightest hint, of
what was coming next.
With flowers of verbal smilax
I tripped unto my climax
And then I waited with averted head.
With modesty I waited,
With pride and joy elated,
But laughing not, and smiling not, he
said;
THAT reminds me-
I listened then in silence; cen as
Noah had done before me,
And he told the story wrong.
And he hemmed and hawed along,
And he never for a moment seemed to
think the thing would bore me,
Though he missed the point and
fumbled,
Though he lost the place and STUN
bled.
Though he said. NO; wait a bit
Though l nearly had a fit,
Though he doubled on his trail,
Though he tackled and took in SAIL
And when at last from dizzy heights
TO dizzy depths he fell,
He said. L fear I do not tell the story
very we'll -

SHE WASN'T POSTED.

She wished a rest and sunshine
For nerves so overwrought,
Pursuing which idea
A gay resort she sought.
She got a little bedroom
Devoid of sun or ray,
The size was nine by seven
The cost ten plunks a day.
And that is just where she made a
mistake for she could have enjoyed the
of a large sunny room at the
Volcano House, basked in the noun
tain sunshine, tramped through ferns
and forest, and returned to her city
home refreshed and invigorated for
half the money. Read the special sum-

ttened condition, by introducing ex.
haust steam from their operating
plants into the intake air ways. This
process to a considerable extent is a
failure, from the fact that the temper.
ature entering tne mine cannot be
properly regulated.
The Remedy.
Since natural law has been violated
by forcing large volumes OF air
through the mines and rendering them
extremely dangerous in cold weather.
we must counterfeit this danger by
mechanical process If we take poison
we violate natures law and death re.
suits if we do not Immediately take
an antiaote. Mining conditions OF
the present time remind me of man
who has swallowed poison. The doe
tor comes, looks at him and says he
should not nave taken the poison, but
since he has taken 1t he will die un.
less he takes an antidote, and while
the doctor is tneorizing the patient
dies for want OF proper aid. The
President of the United States has IN.
vited experts from foreign countries
to come and confer with the experts
in our country. These men have
come and conferred with our experts.
They have examined our maps and
mines, asked questions, and made In
vestigations. Our government has an.
propriated q large sum OF money to
erect an explosive testing station in
Pittsburg. Pa. Governors of different
States have appointed investigating
committees 10 investigate the condl-
tons Of our mines. All this has been
done in good faith, for the purpose OF
lettering the mining conditions, but
while our own experts have bsen trav.
cling over the country our mines
have been blowing up Just the sans.
While foreign experts are here tell
ing US what to do and what not to do
their mines at home are blowing up
and hundreds Of miners are being
killed. In regards to recommenda.
ttons by foreign experts and all ex.
perts there has not been one recon,
mendation made by any OF these men
that mas not been discussed and COM
mented upon by experienced mine men
of this and other States long before
these commissions OF experts were
appointed. Since we have violated
natural laws by mechanical process
we must counteract these conditions
by mechanical process. In order to
do this and prevent dust explosions in
our mines | would recommend the
building of large brick or concreta
towers. say 50 feet in front OF the in
take air.way of the mines, inside and
near the top of this tower l would
erect setam condenser. in the top
and rear OF this tower / would leave
holes SUFFICIENT in number to furnish
air for the mine, and would heat the
air for the use Of the mine with steam
let in at the top OF this tower. The
force OF the steam would be broken
and scattered near the exhaust and
would be csgried through the con
denssE. All the neat and moisture
would be utilized by the air that
passed into Tie mine rom thsstoWer.

the lower into the intake air-way Of
the mine a tunnel. of the same mate,
rial should be erected. with sufficient
area to convey tae air into the intake
of the mine, In the sides of tnls tur>
mel regulators should be placed to reg.
ulate the temperature OF the air enter
tering the mine at all times. By this
process sufficient moisture can be pro-
duced in any mines at all seas.ns OF
the year. at much less expense, than
trying to keep free from danger py a
process of watering the mine with
cold water, In regard to, washing tbs
mine with cold water to prevent dust
explosions 1t Is my opinion the only
way tails can be done is to fill the
mine SO full Of water that men, can
not get inB It to. work. What We
want to do 10 place us beyond all dan
ger from dust explosions is to, at all
times when the mines are in opera.
lions, supply them with air from one
to ten degrees warmer than the nat
ural temperature of the mine. In or.
der to protect the mine fnom exces.
siye summer heat and maintain un:.
form system of deposit Of moisture
throughout the mine, cold water
should be passed down through tae
condenser in the top of the above
mentioned tower, to cool the exces.
siye summer heat. would heat the
cold air by the use of condensed steam
in the winter. Some practical mine
men may claim that this system
would deposit too much moisture in
the first parts of the mine, aud not
enough moisture in tae interior Of the
mine. If this condition prevailed 1
would raise the temperature OF the air
entering the mine, and thus secure a
sufficient deposit of moisture In the
interior Of the mine. There Is one
thing sure, since we have violated nat
oral law by mechanical process and
invited and brought destruction 10 our
mines by forcing large volumes OF
cald air through them. we must coun.
teract this violation by mechanical
process. When this Is done and stricA
ly adhered to. dust explosions IN coal
mines will forever be thing Of the
past. There will be another great
benefit derived from this system OF
uniform temperature in mines; by its
