WOMEN POOR ECONOMISTS.
They Have Not Kept step with Man
in Advances.

From the Ohio State Journal
Woman has not kept step with man
in the economic advances Of the last fifty
years, said Pref. James f. Hagerty in a
lecture before the home-making course
students at the Ohio State University
Wednesday, and he added that she never
would make her due contribution to the
economics until she learned to keep books
while keeping house. The present unsei-
entihc and unsystematic method Of opera
ting a household he found TO be inimical
TO proper advancement Of knowledge.
Dividing the field of economics into
the first and obvious phases Of consump-
ton and production, he assigned man,
broadly. to the latter. and woman 10 the
former. Not disregarding the modern
tendency Of woman to so into the indus
trial world. he showed that so long as
women dominate the home and the house
hold they viii continue TO be the chief
factors in the problem OF consumption,
since the woman spends more than she
produces. while the man earns far more
than he spends. Food and raiment. two
OF the chief factors in consumption. are

Mrs. Semple was the favorite and

during her illness. and after the death

affairs at the White House Then, on the
marriage Of the President TO Miss Car

old stronghold of colonial times. and took
up her household duties at the palace
which belong 10 her by right OF purchase.

funds. so really deserved its name, for

That Proposed Bond Issue
(From Goodwin 5 weekly

"A Al = pei
cents bonds, called Panama can
al bonds, are issued by order of
Congress, then, if things were nor
NAL in the United States, it would
be safe to predict that such
issue would put a final quietus
on the Republican party for a
long term OF years. When the
country at large was broke; that
is when all the money left had
drifted into few hands and the
surplus was most dangerously
low, Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Car
Isle issued $25O,OO0,O0O in
bonds, and the Democratic party
has never won trick since. Mr.
Cleveland did the work at the
behest of a few bankers who
wanted the bonds, first to make
a great killing over the low state
of credit to which they had
brought the country, and second,
to reinforce their banks with the
bonds on which they could draw
the interest for a term of years.
But the country was pretty well
drained OF money at that time.
The characterization of silver had
reduced the value of property
so per cent and the people at
large had very little money.
Since then property values
advanced 800 or 400 per cent,
and the gold in the county and
in the treasury has increased 500
per cent. The annual increase
in the value of the products of
field and mine amounts to quite
ten billion dollars and % per cent
OF this is in gold orits equivalent.
And we are at peace with all the
world. The party that issues
four hundred million dollars so
year3 per cent bonds on such a
showing as that ought to lose the
confidence of the whole American
people except the few money
loaners and dealers in bonds.
A banker not unfrequently
loans of his depositors' money,
three or four times the amount
of his capital stock, and it is ac-
cepted as safe banking for the
people. That a government so
tremendously rich as ours, can
see no way through which to
meet the expenses of construct
ing fifty miles Of canal except by
levying an assessment of $50,
million principal and interest on
the people, ought to make the
people determined to employ
some new agents.
1t merely shows that the gov
eminent is under the dictation
of the national banks.
Our belief is that it would be
better to have one great nation

as England, France and Germ.

highly probable that it will be in

Tunnel Boring Machines.

Tunnel Boring Machines.
1t has long since been an accepted
fact that the most economical
method of mining is (the topogra
ply being adaptable) by the tunnel
method. By means of tunnels min
ing regions are opened at great
depth and the orebearing assures
are drained of their waters by grav-
ity and the ore and waste is remov-
ed by the same method. The result
is that there is no need Of any hoist
ing apparatus, which can be run
only at great expense and there is
no pumping to be done, thus saw
ing the mine Of another very expen-
sive item. The disadvantage of tun-
mel mining, as conducted today, is
the big cost of construction and the
great length of time required to ac-
complish the work. Development
tunnels are constructed with the
idea Of opening the ore bodies at
great depth. The distance they must
be driven to cut the veins at such
depths is anywhere from two to ten
times laterally 10 what is gained in
depth. Anything that will expedite
the work will necessarily reduce the
cost, and when it becomes possible
to do away with the present meth
DDS of tunnel driving and install
tunnel boring machines, which will
make big hole in the mountain
and advance at rapid rate, the
saving will be enormouse. Rock
can now be drilled at the. rate of
100 fit. per day by the present ma
chine drills run by compressed air.
The hole driven has, however, a
diameter of butts in.
1t can be seen that were
it possible to have the entire face
of the tunnel covered by these
drills, the bore could be driven at
about the same rate; provided, how
ever. that the rock broken could be
removed as rapidly as it fell. 1t
would be impossible to operate a
very large number of individual
drills at one time in the fact, as the
mechanical apparatus for opperat-
ing them is far too bulky. The
tunnel machines being devised
have the general idea in view Of
n,assing a large number of drills on
one enormous machine and giving
the whole sweeping or circular
movement, the mass drills pulveriz
ing every inch Of the face of the
!, tunnel. These machines plan upon
operating about 40 or 30 individual
drills in the one device, and will re-
quire about 500 b p. TO supply the
compressed air. 1t is estim ated tina
force of five or six men can oper-
ate such a machine, or, in othe
words, six men would accomplish
with the aid of the machine wha
would require more than 100 mel
working on individual drills in th
face of tunnel, to say nothing 0
the large gang Of men to remove tn
rock broken. OF course one tenth
of this number could not worl
simultaneously in the face of tun
mel of ordinary dimensions,
As at present worked the ma
