NEW DANGER IN COAL MINING
American Engineers Ran Across a

Superstition That Made Trouble.
may get all the excitement they want,
but none of them ever had q time that
befell a bunch of US coal miners on the
island of Cebu," said a mining engineer.
The Fflipinos in the section of Cebu
where the coal fields are tuate are
unusually superstitious and in going to
good many native houses. After we
had been making the trip a few times
we noticed hat the native children
would run at the sight Of US and we
could see the mothers drag them in out
of our path and try to conceal them.
The men also became very surly.
Nothing happened until late one
night when one of the engineers was
stopped by a party Of Fflipinos at some
had boloS and spear and the engineer
got out his revolver and prepared to
defend himself when a minor official of
the village appeared and after talking
with the men told the engineer what
the trouble was. 1t appears that some
mischief maker, either to make trouble
for US or to play upon the credulity Of
the natives, told them that the princi-
pal a the Americans found out where
there vas a coal mine vas to kill a
Filipino child and let its blood drop on
the ground without leaving q trace
there was coal underneath.
1T took us a long time to wi
the natives Of the falsity of this story
and the situation got SO serious before
they believed us that the constabulary
had to keep guard over a lot of coal
camps for a long time"

French scientist, NJ. Bert

A French scientist, NJ. Berth, in
dealing with the subject of coast ero-
sion, mentions that the Island of Jer-
sey once formed part of the continent
of Europe. He has also brought to
light the interest fact hat there still
exists an ancient charter by which a
certain abbey was compelled to fur

which the sea has encroached on the

THE OREGON SENATORSHIP.

Just now, Oregon politics is the most interesting sub
5ec to all those people Of the nation who be interested
in principles rather than in parties for in Oregon
the socaed election of T. S. senators by popular vote is
being tested.
The people of Oregon have given Gov. Chamberlain,
democrat majority Cake and elected legislature
which is practically unanimously republican, but major
ity of which formally pledged to elect Chamberlain dem
ocrat to the T. S. senate, since the people Of the state
declared for him.
Thus we have state which gave Roosevelt AZ 934
plurality and whose legislature is almost soldy republi-
morally bound to send staunch democrat to the
ate Will it?
1t must strike the ordinary observer that, since the
actual election of the o. S. senator lies with legislature
politically hostile to the peoples choice, Oregon has not
yet fully arrived at direct election by the people of her

legislator who goes back the pledge upon which he
elected
Seven months must elapse before the Legislature

Either the legislators-e elect will live up to their moral
obligation to stick by the peoples choice they will sell
out to putocratc republican at prices hitherto

within reach; and as the fingers
grasped and pulled it down, the
white scented lily upon it bowed in
acknowledgment naughty, polite
bow. And the water from the
strait percolated through the NOV
ing sands and closed coldly around
Mirandon's waist, tapping its prey
with wind-driven ripples which cast
a sickly yellow ring of foam about
him-the soft. fluffy stuff that
forms near the sands edge of a
fresh water pond when the wind
lashes the little whitecaps at
play,
Mirandon pulled the lily pad
nearer to him, when suddenly it
broke, and with a cry of despair,
he turned helplessly toward the
men on the opposite shore and
cast the portion of green crushed
leaf in his hand viciously toward
them.
Then his eyes rested upon the
form Of Theodore standing shock
ed, motionless. The dying MUIR
derer's mind reverted to the days
of friendship-the happiest days he
had ever known, when he walked
with Theodore and discussed
chemistry and had a good, honest
friend.

then Jane burst out into a deep,
| fearless sob as she saw that the
waist of Mirandon was invisible.
The neck and shoulders and head
were all that could be seen. save
the two handsome closed and

taken from his vest pocket as the

dripping occasionally redblue
drop that came from the shattered
palm.
They launched the skiff. Troop
| and Roger bent to the oars, while
Hallen. crouched in the bottom,
waited for his share of the work
But the sands, waiting not for
mans actions, kept on enveloping
Mirandon in the embrace of death.
Now his shoulders and the wound
ed hand were sucked under in the
remorseless quick-his breathing
came hard with the pressure
around him, great drops of sweat
appeared on his pale face, and the
eyes, that had been such an attrac-
tive feature Of the man, rolled,
showing the white and the black
alternately, in the terrible mental
agony that he was experiencing.
Would the hunters reach him?
Is so, it meant respite, breath, air
and above all, life for short
time-then the gallows; but it
meant at least life-life now, and
he groaned aloud in his torture.
But they would not reach him in
time; they could not. The boat
made slow progress through the
| lily pads; already the water was at
his throat. He threw his head far
back, and in another second the
foam of the fresh water. the taste
of the lily pads came to him-the
boat was too far. Courage he had,
| but not for death like this. With
a heart-breaking cry of agony he
drew his hand to his mouth, and
those watching in powerless dis
may across the strait saw him
swallow something from little
vial in his hand. Suddenly, like a
flash, the face grew black-then
blue, and the criminal made a
signing heave as the water and
foam-soaked yellow sand closed
over him.
The twice wounded Cakes touch
ed the arm of the district attor-
ney. Horrible" he cried. did
you see the FACET was the poi
son--it was his confession" The
other nodded in awe-struck emo
ton.
The next moment Hallen, bend
ing far out from the boat, threw
his muscular arm down into the
moving sand and seized the black,
disappearing hair in his power
full grasp.
Troop and Roger gave vigorous
backward motion to their oars, and
Hallen, in desperation, drew every
muscle taut, exerting the last atom
of strength that was in him in a
mighty heave.
Slowly the quicksand gave up the
dead-slowly the body rose.

CHAPTER VIII
Concluded

Mirandon looked back, gagged
the distance as he ran, and launch
ed himself with a bound into the
shallow strait, through the lily
pads, toward the opposite shore.
He reached it, the strait was only
about 20 feet wide, and numbered
on to the beautiful sand. He turn
ed and waved his hand and shout
ed a terrible defiance, then retreat
ed one step, still facing those
across the little inlet; halted.
wheeled or rather tried to wheel
and dash on in his retreat. But he
stood still instead. A change came
over his face, a pallor, and a look
of bewilderment. He lifted his leg
it dragged; he floundered, and
then a cry of horror went up: Hes
caught; he's sinking; it's quick
sand"
Now, with one accord those pres
ent realized why Jane had dragged
the burly Hallen back. She was
now running up the incline from
the beach along the path which
she had come with Cakes and
Hallen she was going back to her
lover.
But in a moment she hesitated
with a cry at seeing Theodore be-
fore her, descending the incline
from the woods. His head was en-
cased in the blood-soaked dressing,
and he was supported by Roger and
Martin as he staggered onward.
Jane threw her arms about him and
implored him to stop, but down to
the beach he came and the awe
struck crowd beheld him in theft
midst. Then he saw what he had
not seen before-the body of a
man. half engulfed in the sands
across the narrow strait, twisting
and writing and holding both
hands out, thrashing them abont in
desperation. One nand was dyed
