The chief reason offered 10y the oper-
ators for the rejection of the demands
WAS that any increase in the cost of
production would necessitate an ad-
vance in the price Of coal and that
such an advance was impractfcable.
The operators declared their HRwill-
ingness to reopen the eight hour day
question and other questions passed
upon by the anthracite strike commits
sion of 1902
They declined to recognize the Unit
ed Mine Workers Of America, chiefly
on the ground that II WITS controlled
by bituminous workers. They said
they met Mr. Lewis and his COMMITTEES
as representatives Of the anthracite
mine workers and not as officers Of
the union.
Before strike is ordered it In prob
able that Chairman Knapp Of the In
terstate commerce commission and
Commissioner Neil of the ptited
States labor bureau viii be ask. 4 to
assist In bringing abont an agreement.
1t is expected that the miners COM

three districts to take up the opera

So far as could be learned from the
miners today thousands Of the work
ers are opposed to strike, because
they feel that they are not strongly
enough iHtrenched TO carry out sue

flour and the expressed pulp of sui

hand without fracture.
This bread sheeting is a most
important article of interior COM

the Asiastic kalifats and bazaar. It
has for thousands of years been

The bread sheeting is used in the

Of furniture and furnishings just
as the natives of the tropics make a

cocoanut palm and its products
as sun blinds, awnings, lanterns,
cashiers for holding papers and so
on through a dozen uses. In their
dry climate these uses are practi-

Reviewed by Its Friends.

Grover Cleveland withheld his,
signature from the Wilson bill be-
cause it contained provisions which
he declared to be not in line with
honest tariff" But he did not veto
it, because a vote would have con-
tinued in force the Mckinley tariff,
an act the people by their votes
had twice Indignantly condemned;
moreover, with all its faults, the
Wilson act was better than the
Mckinley act.
President Taft signs the Payne
Aldrich bill and makes it a law al
though it is worse than the Dingley
tariff and imposes many duties
higher and more burdenSome than
those it replaces.
Eighteen Republican Representa-
tives voted against the conference
report, seven Republicans votes in
the senate were accorded in the
negative. 1t may be that the
Presidents political foresight is
clear and trust worthy. Perhaps
people, under the blessings of the
new prosperity now dawning, will
forget all about the tariff before the
congressional elections of next year.
But two years after the enactment
of the Mckinley law the people
elected Grover Cleveland president

The Songs Of the Rowing Sons.

Just across the sunsets barriers,
just across the Farthest Sea.
Lies the Land of Lost Illusions, lies
the Isle Used to Be,
Lies the harbor that we sailed from
when the world was all atune
To the key Of life's full flower, in
the symphony of June.
How they begged that we should
tarry ere we launched our darling
back,
Setting sail from southern sunlight
to the realm Of winter dark.
How they pleaded we should never
brave the breakers and the foam
But should bide beside the hearth
stone and should have a life at
home.
NO" we answered. we must hurry
for the Rowing Sons are we;
We must make the great adventure
we must sail the Seventh Sea:
We have done with sloth and safe
ty and the Little Peoples ways;
Better bitterness than languor, bet
ter life than length of days"
And we sail : and still are sailing
underneath a starless sky,
Over wastes of waves uncharted.
where we know not how nor why;
Certain only we can never recross
the Farthest Sea ....
To the Land of Lost Illusions, to the
Isle of Used to Be.

From Equator to Pole and Back.

FROM Equator 10 role ana BACK.
Doctor Cooks observation that
the water which came up through
the cracks in Arctic ice was seven
ty-six degrees warmer than the at
moSphere around him renews adj
miration of the wise provision of
nature by which air currents and
water currents from equatorial re-
gions carry warmth to the northern
and southern extremities of the
earth while returning currents both
of air and water cool the temperate
and torrid zones.
OF the ocean currents running
from the equator to the poles there
are four or five, each with its Safs
gasso sea. The one of them most
talked about in America and
Europe is the Gulf Stream, which
starts in the Atlantic Ocean not far
north of the equator. passes through
the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of
Mexico, flows around Florida and
carries warmth and moisture to
Ireland, Great Britain and the
northern countries of Continental
Europe. But for the heat it car
ries, Ireland and England would be
as cold as Labrador and the Scandi-
navian Peninsula uninhabitable.
The most interesting of the "riv-
ers in the ocean" is the Japan cur
rent, which flows northeastward-
ly from the Indian Ocean ahd
passing Japan, flows around the
Aleutian Islands and sends it warm
waters far down the western coast
of the United States. A portion Of
the Japan currents tide is forced
through Boring Strait into the Arc
tic Ocean. If the surface was not
so soon frozen it would make prac-
ticable the Northwest Passage, long
sought by many mariners, but ac-
tually traversed by only one or two.
In all probability it was this branch
of the Japan current in which
Cooks ice was drifting eastward
when he found the water so much
warmer than the air.
1t is the Japan current which
takes the Arctic nip from the eli
mate of Alaska. Gives the island of
Vancouver, at the forty-ninth paral-
lei, delightfully."- equable tempera-
ture and banishes severe cold from
the coast of California. The warmth
which the chinook winds from the
Pacific bring far inland through the
mountain passes really comes from
the Indian Ocean.
In the economy of nature the hot
waters that flow and the hot winds
that blow into the north are cooled
and sent back to be heated again
and continue their circuit. But
for this constant interchange the
middle portion of the earth would
be too hot and the higher latitedes
too cold for human habitation.
