A School for Miners.
From I.cslie's Weekly.

From Lcslles Weekly.
In recent years the need of trained min
ing men has become more and more ur
gent. This has been due to the steady in
crease in coal production, to the growing
completely Of the physical difficulties at
tendant upon production, and to the fact
that German. Welsh and English miners,
most Of whom have had experience in the
mines of Europe, have been supplanted by
Slavs and southern Europeans who are as
ignorant of mining as they are of the
English language. In view of this press
ing need, the Lehigh Valley Coal Company
has opened school which is unlike any
yet attempted in the United States II is
situated at Lost Creek, Pa, an obscure
village in the southern part of the an
thracite coal region. The new institution
is practical mining school for men who
actually do the work, from the foreman to
the doorbOy, and every other person who
in any way contributes to the production
of anthracite. \ regular instructor has
been engaged by the company to take
charge on certain nights every week ami
help the men get the greatest possible
benefit out of the text books which the
company supplies. Periodicals devoted to
mining subjects are subscribed for and are
kept ready for the men to read whenever
they care to.

The Meaning of Dreams.
From Success Magazine


1t is we'll known. for example, that
dreams have stimulated men TO remark
able intellectual achievements, and have
even supplied the material for these
achievements. Thus. Coleridge composed
"Kubla Khan In a dream. Tartini got
his Devils Sonata from dream i'm
which the devil appeared and challenged
him to a musical competition. Ii was
dream that gave Voltaire the first canto
of his ..Henriade.' and Dante's .'DivIna
Commeda' is likewise said to have been
inspired by a dream.
Many novelists. on their own admission,
have obtained the plots for some of their
best works from materials provided i'm
dreams. A particularly impressive In
stance is that of Robert Louis Steven
son, whose Chapter on Dreams" In his
book ACROSS the Plains" should be read
by all who would learn what dreams can
do for a man intellectually. The solution
of battling mathematical problems. the
ideas necessary to complete some inven-
ton. have been supplied by dreams. DC
ca sionally the dreamer has been known
to rise in his sleep and jot down the in
formation thus acquired.
about the helpful dream, and on awak-
ing Is greatly surprised at finding the rec
ord he has made of it. Which shows that
las with the visions potently infiu-
encing health-it is possible for dreams tn
aid man in an intellectual way without
his being consciously aware Of them.

BIG GUNS DISABLING NAVY.
Sharp Ring Of Six-Pounder Is Max

From The New York World.
Gun deafness is becoming menace in

the subject personal investigation. The
sharp ring Of the 6-pounder, now being
generally used In target practice on the
American warships. he says. will put out

Officers of the navy have complained to
DR.. McMaster that the 6-pounder, in par

as to let the air conclusion pass through
the eustachian tube. He calls attention
to a fact not hitherto made known here,
namely. that recent examination Of fifty
naval men by the British admiralty
showed they had been made deaf by gun
practice. The admiralty board has ad-
vised the use of an ear plug. Another de-
vice, the blast SCREEN" is also being
tried in the English navy. 1t is made OF
steel and rubber. seventeen feet deep. and

Superstitions About Animals.

From the Wide World Magazine
The natives of the Island Of Bali, In
the Dutch East Indies. have peculiar
superstitions about animals. Dogs, for
instance are never destroyed, and, much
to the annoyance of the European resi-
dents the pariahs are allowed to in
crease to an unlimited extent. Accord
ing to Balinese ideas, dogs are the re-
Incarnation of those of their poorer
brethren who were buried after death
instead of being cremated. which is the
more luxurious method of getting rid of
the dead To kill a dog, therefore, Is
as great a sin as killing a poor fellow
creature. With regard 10 the tiger. the
natives believe that that animal is also
the reincarnation of another caste of
the community, and nothing will induce
them to shoot IT.
They tell. with great impressivenesc
the story of an old BalineSe man VINO
once came face to face with tiger In
the Jungle Gazing at the monster FIX
eddy, he addressed it as follows: What
have | done to thee that thou lookest
SO ferociously at me? Have l ever
done thee any harm: and art thou no,
nv brother clad in the skin of tiger?
/ pray thee go thy way in peace and
leave me alone" Thereupon. 1t is said,
the tiger turned tail and walked away
raiestically into the depths Of the
Jungle.

After the mining fever exhausted itself

BELOVED DOCTOR OF POOR DIES
CARBOLIC ACID,
THINKING 1T HIS MEDICINE.
Whole East Side in Mourning for
DR.. Albert Kohn, New York's
Good Samaritan.

NEW YORK, October Mot since
the death Of Rabbi Joseph had the East
Side mourned as it did yesterday, when
jewellers in the tenements learned that
DR.. Albert Kohn would no longer min
lister to the sick poor, because in at
tempting to heal himself he had taken
a fatal dose Of poison by mistake.
Probably DR.. Kohn would not have
made the mistake if his patient, in
stead of being himself, had been some
forlorn and stricken woman with an
empty purse, who could pay no fee. For
no doctor ever exercised more care than
did this man in his life Of serving
among those who never could pay much,
and. often as not, could not pay any
thing.
Idol of the People.
1t was such service rendered to two
generations that made the physician
the idol he was. His office hours at
313 East 4th street were any and all
hours that anybody needed him. His
charge was what the patient could af-
ford to pay, and never had precedence
over the rent or the butchers bill or
the grocer's or the need of clothes.
This physician also had way of
for patients who needed them to get
well. Sometimes he would pay the rent,
knowing that no medicine he could give
would save the suffering mother of "a
brood of children if. in spite Of her
sickness, she was put out on the side
walk by the man with the dispossess
warrant. Some persons who did not
know him might have wondered why he
was forever buying shoes and toys in
the East Side shops and taking them
"a hnIf with him his nrOfeS SiOnal
rounds. But the children knew why.
Had Some Human Theories.
One of his medical theories was that
a trip into the country was often a fine
thing for a convalescent. He frequently
prescribed such a trip for the wife Of the
capmaker or the pushcart man, but new
ern without furnishing free railroad
ticket with his professional advice. An
other curious custom of his was to take
a sick boy or girl for a drive in his doc
tors buggy to the everlasting delight OF
the small patient, and then, after the ride.
insisting on paying the child a quarter
or hait-dollar for holding the reins while
he was in some other patient 5 house.
These were only few of the stories
they were telling on the East Side last
night about DIR. kohn, who was dead In
his uptown Office at 1Oi West 10th street,
So many of his old patients on the East
Side who had moved uptown insisted on
retaining him as the family physician
that ne had to establish branch quarters
in Harlem, but he never gave up the old
office in East 4th street, where he had
been working for others since he came to
this country from Austria twenty-five
years ago.

DIR. kohn was ill himself yesterday with

him within the hour. His wife heard his
groans and called DIR. Friedman of 1Oi
