His Own Story of Wonderful Opera.

Mr.. Walter B. Harris in his account
Of journey to Tablet tells the story
of wonderful operation in surgery
as it was reported to him by native
doctor who was travelling in his COM
pany:
81 think the old man fancied that 1
doubted his skill. At least, he was al
ways holding forth upon the subject
and continually repeating the story
that when in Algeria he had been of
fered a fabulous salary-the sum va
ried each time the tale was told-to re-
main in charge of the military hos
pital at Algiers, an honor which he
had declined.
"He never tired of narrating the
facts and details of his most success
full operation. There is sect in Mo-
rocco called Hamacha, who are fol-
lowers of certain saint buried near
Mekinez. These devotees amuse their
audience-and themselves, too, let us
hope-by throwing into the air heavy
cannon balls, which they allow to fall
upon their Thaven crowns. On the oc-
casion in question q Hamdushi had
unfortunat ly been wanting in reli-

my old shereef friend had been call

count. he removed the broken patch
of skull, replacing it with the rind of
a green pumpkin, and closed the skin
over it. In a months time, he said,
the patient was not only convalescent,
but was on e more hard at work prac-

not only remodeled and renovated

The Wolf"

A big event for local theatergoers
will be the presentation at the opera
house, next Monday night of Eugene
Walters great play, 'The Wolf" By
reason of its great triumph in New
York for ten weeks and more recently
in Chicago for twelve weeks, is too
well known to make it necessary to
give lengthy description of the plot
or the numerous pathetic scenes
which are so cleverly mingled in such
a manner that the audience neither
gets too boisterous nor too near. the
verge of tears. "The Wolf is said
to be remarkable for the attention
which has been given to detail in the
settings and accessories, giving the
play a peculiarly realistic atmos-
phere.

OPERA HOUSE
"The Witching Hour"

Augustus Thomas the other day
said some good things about the the
atre. He is about the most impor-
tant playwright parsonage in the pub
lie eye at the present moment and
what he says carries great weight
The following is what he said and il
serves to explain his aims and illus
trate his latest play, "The Witching
Hour" which is to appear at the VIM
chester Theatre on Thursday, Febru-
airy 4th.
"The theatre is a place for the pre-
sentation of ideals-that is its only
excuse for existence. 1t must of
course, present those ideals in enter
tanning fashion, but the ideals cease
to be ideals when they cease to en-
terrain.
"There is a large contention that
the playhouse is a place for enter
tainment only. An adherence to this
rotiUn has always reduced the play
house to the condition of vaudeville
the theatre has never been place
of entertainment only. 1t must be al
ways entertaining if it is to have the
attention of its auditors. but the at
tention secured, it must always have
a message"

He Is a GIorifed Freak of the Red

Only those wise in the woOdlore of

the name silver fox. The silver fox is
not of different kind, but a glorified
freak of the red race His parents may
have been the commonest kind of red
foxes, yet :ature in extravagant mood
may have shOwered ali her gifts on
this favored one of the offspring and
not only clad him in a marvellous coat,
but gifted him with speed and wind
and brains above his kind to guard his
perilous wealth. And need he has Of
all such power, for this exquisite robe
is so mellow rich, so wonderful in
style, with its gloss black and delicate
frosting, that it is the most desirable,
the most precious of all furs, worth
many times its weight in gold, the no
blest peltry known to- man. 1t is the
proper robe of kings, the appanage of
great imperial thrones today, as was
the tyrian purple in the days Of Rome.
This is indeed the hunters highest
prize, but so guarded by the cunning
brain and the wind and limb of the
beast himself that it is through rare
good luck more than hunter skill that
a few OF these. fur jewels are taken
each year in the woods.
There are degrees Of rank among

Best Figures ObtainabIe.

From the best figures obtainable,
it has been calculated that in the
eastern and southeastern parts of the
State it takes on an average six
tenths of a cubic foot of round OF
split timber for each ton of coal re-
moved. This includes props, caps,
room ties and collars, but does not in
''clude rails, brattice, or other sawn
lumber. The mines in this region are
usually above water line and are en-
tered on. the level, while in the West,
deep shafts are mostly used. The
roof is usually slate in the East and
so more props ARE needed than in
the West where a limestone roof Of
ten makes the use of props unneces-
sary. In this latter region an aver
age off about one-fourth of a cubic
loot of timber per ton of coal is need
ed, varying with the nature of the
roof.

be cut over annually to supply need
full timber to the average mine. All
the present rate of growth, 1000 or
more acres of woodland would be
needed to furnish a continuous sup
ply to the average mine, allowing for
no increase of production. Some
companies are operating two or three
mines, and two corporations run as
many as FIVE and seven. Some of the
companies have an adequate amount
of woodland to supply all needs, but
the great majority have not. The
question that confronts these com
panies is: Where is the future sup
ply of timber to come from?

Permanent Supply.

II the surrounding neighborohod
cannot be depended on to furnish a
permanent supply, then timberland
should be secured by them. What is
more important, however, is that it
should be managed so that the high
est annual rate of growth will be OBJ
tanned.
The United State Forest Service
has recently received applications
from several mining companies, for
examination of their properties look
ing to more conservative handling
of their timber supplies. Properties
have been looked over in both the
eastern and western coal fields, and
some of'the suggestions made are al
ready being carried out. The Forest
Service is ready to cooperate with
the owners of coal lands In formu-
lating plans for the more economical
use and better management of their
timber resources, for it is felt that
such lOng-ived companies with a con-
slant and increasing demand for tim
Der can no longer afford to neglect
their source Of supply of this impor-
tant mining necessity.

The Total Output.

The total output of 10,436,061 tons
of coal for Kentucky in 1907 was
taken from something like 800 mines.
|. Using the above figures as basis,
this entailed the use of something
over 100000 cubic feet of round
mining timber, or an equivalent of
about 100000 feet, board measure,
of timber In the year, which is about
$4,000 feet board measure to the
average mine of $4,000 tons annual
output. Though this is not all cut
from merchantable saw timber, much
the greater part of it is. The mines
are usually supplied by contract and
as the larger timber is split up, yields
more props, and is consequently cas-
Ter and cheaper to handle, it is gen
orally taken in preference to the
smaller growth. Contractors are us
ually given a free hand and often
the finest ash, poplar and white oak
timber is made up into props in pref
erence to the less valuable species.
Besides Split Props.
Besides the split props, there is
something like one board foot of sawn
timber per ton of coal put into the
mines in the year for rails, and brat
tice, etc. 1t cannot be determined
how much sawn timber is used above
ground for tipple and other construc-
ton, but one board feet per ton would
be a very conservative estimate. At
this rate the average mine would re-
quire about 10000 feet of sawn tlum-
Der, besides the split or round timber,
| which would amount to an equivalent
3of $4,000 board feet more.

Most of Companies.

Most of the coal companies oper-
ating in Kentucky own or control
some timberland and draw at least
part of their supply of mining tim
bers from their own land. These com
panies seldom keep any account of
the amount or value of the timber
thus cut, their only charge being the
cost Of cutting and delivering this
timber to the mines. Few companies
separate the cost of sawn timber and
split or round props, and also keep
the purchase cost with the cost of
placing In the mine under the one
head of "timbering." 1t is plain what
difficulty this puts in the way of
obtaining reliable data.

KENTUCKY'S MINING INDUSTRIES
DEPENDENT ON TIMBER SUPPLY
Operation Of the Coal Mines Requires Thousands Of Feet Of Timber
in the Form Of Props

Coal mining, next in Importance
only to. agriculture and numbering
among the important industries of
Kentucky, is absolutely dependent
upon the forests for its existence.
Few people who are not directly con-
nected with mining realize that the
operation of the mines requires
thousands Of feet of timber in the
form of props Cement and other
materials have been tried for this
use in the mines, but no satisfactory
substitute has been found.
The Goa! Industry.
The coal industry brings more than
$10,000,000 a year to the State of
Kentucky. According to the State
Inspector of Mines, Kentucky produc-
ed in 1905, 8,039,z46 tons of coal
from her larger mines, not counting
those that produce only for local use.
In 1906 this had increased to $685.
529 tons, while last year $500 TO-
436,061 tons were taken out of this
same class of mines.

any, might be taken to insure the

Tho Broom at tho Masthead.

There still exists a very old custom among seameu of displaying a broom at the masthead of ships intended to be sold to indicate that they are to be swept away" The custom orlglnat- cd with the famous Dutch admiral Tromp. who when he appeared off the English coast hoisted a broom to show his intention of sweeping the Eng llsh fleet from the seG. The Eng llsh admiral, replying to this imper- tlnent signal. immediately hoisted Q horsewhlp to the masthead of his ship to show the arrogant Dutchman that he meant to give him a drubblng, For this reason a pennant is oftentimes dubbed "the horsewhip" by seafaring men. Sea lore. of course, is full of symbolism. and the broom is only one of many signs used that have a meta- phorlcal meaning. London Globe.
