It Is not generally known what Q

become, even in the villa garden, or
such would more often be planted In
lieu Of the ubiquitous privet. Where
the area Of the garden is limited,
or where only a moderately high
hedge is desired for encircling the
rose garden or bordering a tennis
lawn, a selection should be made from
the China or monthly roses, the jap
anese or rugosa roses and the Aus.

ly increasing the eroding power Of
Niagara. 1t had taken $500 years
for the gorge to eat back from Lake
Ontario to the point where the falls
were situated when the Huron dis.
charge was added. Five hundred
years after that the falls reached the
whirlpool. Between 1000 and $500
years ago they were passing the site
of the whirlpool rapids. The rapids
themselves were completed less than
300 years ago.

A New Type Of Brick.

In recent lecture before the Com
mercial club of Portland. Ore, a San
Francisco architect described the
Bruner building, just finished in Oak
land. across the bay from San Fran
cisco, as the highest type Of i.rerrool
construction. This is a tall building
of reinforced concrete, the walls OF
which are faced with brick of un
usual shape. This brick has groove
cast on its inner edge, that the con
crete may be dovetailed in the brich
as the walls rise. The brick is the
usual size. and the wedge-shaped
groove is the invention Of an Oak
land man. who had observed how
difficult 1t 10 to keep brick facing

CHICAGO. Nov. IA statement de
claring that of the ass men who went
into the Cherry coal mine 200 have been
taken out alive was issued today by
the officials Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul Railroad Company.
The statement denied that the fire
started as the result of an explosion Of
mine dust, declaring that the accidental
firing Of a load of hay on the second
level by a careless miner probably
started 10.
The Cherry mine is one OF the best
equipped coal mines in the country. the
statement asserts. the shaft having been
sunk only four years ago. There are
two levels, one 800 feet below the sur
face aud one 500 feet below. Most of
the miners in the mine when the fire
started were at work on the lower level.
The mine was equipped with the most
modern machinery and the mine was
well lighted throughout by electricity
to eliminate tho chance of fire. The
statement adds that the big exhaust fan
installed to draw the foul air from the
miIe broke shortly after the fire started,
rendering 1t necessary to close the
shafts, excepting the hosting shaft in

there is a cornmendable tendency now
on the part of regular army men to
recognize the Importance Of the militia
and earnestly to seek to train it in the
most efficient fashion.
1t has not been a great while since
a narrower view prevailed in regular
army circles, and the disposition to
sheer at the militia was all too ap-
parent, It is now becoming clear to
army officers that the country's chief
military problem is the training of the
militia, and they are giving more and
more thought to it,
However, we refuse to believe there
is any danger to the country in
"amiable old gentlemen like Mr.. Car
negie" The proof of it is not visible.
Never before in this country, save in
the years just after the civil war, were
there so many trained soldiers in the
United States ready to take the field
on short notice. These include regu-
lars, thousands Of whom have served
in the Spanish war and the Philippine
campaigns, and are now in civil life,
men who have been well trained in
the National Guard, and young men,
thousands of them. who have acquired
valuable knowledge of arms at in
stitutions like the Virginia Military
Institute. The truth is the country
has a powerful reserve of trained men,
fact which is not generally appreciat-
ed. Moreover, with military and naval
expenditures by the Federal Govern
ment at higher point than ever before
in this country in a time of peace,
and with every State giving increased
attention to its National Guard, the
men who, like Mr.. Carnegie, are urging
peace and disarmament, are a long way
from being dangerous from the stand
point of those who are anxious for this
country to be in a state of prepared
ness for war.
