mines. The bill went over because
of an objection on the part of Sena-
tor Teller, of Colorado. Mr.. Mitch
ell states that he heartily fayors this
means of reducing the number of
casualties in the mines.
The usefulness of telephones in
coal mines is by no means a new
subject for discussion. Many mines
already have working systems both
above and below The ground, and it
facilitates their business as wen as
providing a measure of safety in case
of accident. Even before the fatal
accident in Illinois, the need of tel
ephones below ground was empha-
sized thoroughly through mediums of
publicity. For example, the Vest
ern Electric Company, the largest
manufacturer of telephones in the
world, has for along time advocated
the use of this means of communica-
ton in corl mines.
The telephone has figured in leg
fslasion of a compulsory sort mole
than once. It is only during 1.-THE
past year that a number of railroads
were ordered to equip telephone
systems, connecting all passenger
add freight depots in cities or towns
where telephone exchanges are main
tanned for public service. A meas
ure of this sort was passed in Iowa
last spring, and in Oklahoma the
Corporation Commission held that it
is the duty of railway corporation
to supply a telephone for the con-
venience of its patrons at every point
where telephone might reasonably
be expected to be present.
1t is very evident that the tele-
phone has long since ceased to be a
luxury or even a convenience. Leg
islatiOn and public opinion have de-
cided that it is public necessity.

bestowed upon you by that gentle
hand. make much of it while you
have the most parcious of all gifts, a
loving mother. Read of the unfath-

anxiety of that tone and look, how

you may have friends-fond, dear
kind friends-but never will you have
again the inexpressible love and
gentleness lavished upon you which
none but a mother bestows. Often do /
sigh in my struggles with the hard,
uncaring world for the deep, sweet
security I felt when on an evening,
resting on her bosom, listened to
some quiet tale, suitable to my age,
read in her tender, untiring voice.
Never can l forget her sweet glances
cast upon me when l appeared asleep,
never her kiss of peace at night.
Years have passed away since laid

the Cherry coal mine disaster. How
many more lives could have been
saved had the mine been fully equip
ped with telephone is entirely prob
lematical, but it is certain that the
number would have been greater had
opportunity been afforded for com
munication between the rescuers
and the entombed men.
The editorial goes on to say:
In case of accidents to the min
ers, where telephones were installed,
much time could be saved by teIe-
phoning the superintendent, who
have ambulances and surgeons at
the mouth of the shaft when the un-
fortunate men were brought up. In
many instances this prompt service
would save the lives of those injured
and the sooner alleviate their suf-
ferings.
There are many arguments in
favor of the installation of telephone
service in mines, and it is a safe
prediction that, within few years,
every mine of consequence in the
country will be fully equipped in
this respect. y
In support of his opinion as to the
hazardous nature Ofmining industry,
Mr.. Mitchell declared that four out
of every thousand employees in the
coal mines of this country are killed
every year. In continental Europe
the fatalities are less than one in
every thousand. The annual sacri-
fee of lives in coal mines Mr.. Mitch
puts at not less than 5000, aver
aging Is deaths to every working
day.
a number of interesting rene
dies are being suggested every day
by men upon whom devOlves the
responsibility for conditions in the
mines.
Air tight compartments formed one
of Mr.. Mitchells suggestions. At
the last session of Congress a bill
passed the House of Representatives,
and if it had been enacted it would
have provided for mining bureau
at Washington whose sole purpose it
would be to encourage the introduc-
ton of life-saying devices in coal

TELEPHONES IN THE COAL MINES.

The recent disaster in the Cherry
coal mines has led many people in
terested in the mine industry to con-
slider measures for more eFectually
safeguarding life in the mines. 1t
is the opinion of John Mitchell, who
for nearly ten years was president of
the United Mine Workers, and who
is now vice-president of the Ameri=
can Federation of Labor, that coal
mining is the most hazardous indus
try in America. W. S. Blatchley,
state geologist, and head of the Mine
Regulation Department of Indiana,
is authority for the statement that
there are fifty minesin Indiana where
catastrophe similar to the recent
one in Illinois might be reasonably
expected to occur at any time.
One of the safeguarding measures
that has already been urged is a
systematic use of the telephone in
the mines. On Thanksgiving Day
an editorial writer in the Boston
Globe expressed the opinion that
legislation requiring the installation
of telephone lines from houses on the
level to the ends of the shafts might
follow the Cherry disaster.
On this subject Mr.. Mitchell, who
was coal digger for twelve years,
recently made the following state
ment:
"of course these calamities always
suggest means by which lives thus
lost might have been saved. If coal
mines were equipped with telephones
throughout their workings it would
be possible for those entOmbed to
let those on the outside know the
location of the place in which they
were gathered, or at least let them
know what was their condition.
And thus the work of rescue would
be greatly aided"
Probably at no time in the his
tory of mining says an editorial
in the current issue of the Mining
World, magazine devoted to the
interest of miners, has there been
a greater demonstration of the great
need of telephones in mines than at

fifteen jealous women. or an equal

of being jealous. Something should

IN all your ways.

We allow little difficulties, often
imaginary ones, that would vanish at
the slightest show of resistance, to
deter US from doing many things
both great and small, the memories
of which would bring US our sweetest
joys in after years.
Many of US can unfold the pages
of memory and read again the loving
words of our own sainted mothers.
We see again the loving looks in her
eyes. We almost hear again the
gentle accents of her voice and we
feel, even through the lapse of years,
her influence around US.
A good deed done is not a thing
done is nothing less than an endless
series of good things set in motion.
A kindly service rendered is. not in
frequently far reaching. A cup of
cold water to a furnishing life, a
flower brought to chamber of sor-
row may set in motion many agencies
of the soul. Ministration to a bird
of wounded wing may start voice OF
song tnat otherwise might never have
been heard. A tear wiped away may
cause a passing through the clouds
INTO the region oflight. !.
