INDUSTRIAL PENSION SYSTEM
Favorable Start of Scheme Inaugu-
ated by typographical
Union

The international typographical union
has in operation an old-age pension scheme
which in practice is proving more favor
able from a financial standpoint than the
estimates. 1t was adopted by referendum
vote in October Of 1907. l7,lT voting in
favor OF It and 9,194 against, 1t went into
effect about a year ago-members beibg
assessed one-hah OF l per cent OF their
earnings. The estimates were that this
assessment would yield s16s, 900 a year,
while expenditure would amount 20 500 ,OC0.
Ten months OF trial have brought in 1856. OOl
and caused $50, 800 to be paid out. OF course
so brief q time affords no certain test,
particularly as 10 the number OF pensioners,
but the plan Is obviously obtaining a most
favorable start. Pensions amount to 81 a
week and are paid TO members of the union
In good standing for twenty years who, at
the age Of 80 or beyond. have become In
capacitated for work. Some 5o4 persons are
now on the pension roll of the order. their
ages ranging from 90 to 90 years.-spring-

Many Patrons on Its
Line,

Stock feeders are to Join the Omaha Com
merelal club, Ralston Townstte company,
Howard Stove Manufacturing company and
the Ralston Car shops in opposition TO the
cancellation Of switching charges by the
Missouri Pacific on the Belt line, south
and west of South Omaha
Along the Belt line from South Omaha IN
Portal are many pens where thousands OF
head OF sheep and cattle are fed. Two
railroads are now collecting t12 per car for
hauling hay TO the feeding pens, when q
switching tariff makes II possible for the
feeders to set hay switched on the Missouri
Pacific (Belt line) for e per car. The
railroad company has asked permission 10
cancel this switching tariff, which will
make It possible for the Missouri Pacific
to charge the tariff rate, which is about
cents per hundred pounds, instead Of the
switching rates.
Stock feeders call attention also to the
fact that two railroads are switching corn
for SO to IS per car and charging them 81
to $l4 per car for hauling hay. one or two
shippers are paying $2 per car for switch
ing two miles, while corn Is switched six
and seven miles for $3.50 an IS.
A large amount Of alfalfa and wild hay Ia

TO DESTROY AERIAL WARSHIPs
New Yorker Invents Shell that VIII
Explode Gas in Any
Balloon,

A gun with a shell that will destroy war
airships has been invented by Lewis Nixon
Of New York, financier, shipbuilder and
international authority on war engines. He
has worked on the shell for a year and has
It sufficiently near perfection to promise a
public demonstration at his Staten Island
~shipyards within six weeks.
While he claims nothing new for hts gun
and carriage. Mr.. Nixon asserts the com
position of the shell is absolutely new and
1t will positively destroy any gas balloon
as well as aeroplanes. The shell Is made
In such a way IT can be used with any
kind OF gun known In modern warfare.
This is o feature that the German invent
ors, Krupp and Erhardt. have not yet COM

In aerial shooting in Germany 1t 10 ueoes-

SHOWING PREACHERS THE WAY
school TO Teach Preachers the Art
OF Preaching In Dramatic
style,

Now, don't clutch your desk in that way.
Stand up with your left foot forward and
your hand resting easily on the reading
desk. That's better. Now, again; 'The
world is lost In darkness ana sim More
emphasis on the word lost"
This was not a rehearsal of q play
wrtsht's effort, but a class lesson In a
strange school; one where preachers are
being taught to appeal to the people in tho
dramatic way that modern exlFencies seem
to demand. The Glasses are held In a
school of m art in Philadelphia.
Ministers come from all over the city and
outside the city 10 attend these classes.
They are in earnest, and reply to any still,
small voice within that suggests that the
means they are adopting are not the most
dlgnified with the excuse that the end
J~ustifies the means.
The class Is taken In hand by one OF the
women teachers OF the school. There Ia
no attempt at adopting different rules.
The same lessons are impaired TO the min
listers as to the students of dramatic art
who aspire to stage fame. The ministers
bring their sermons with them. written out
Just as they intend to preach them, and
the instructor goes over the sermon line
by line and drills the preacher into the
proper gesture and emphasis. The lesson
proceeds as indicated In the opening para
graph. The teacher will grasp the arm
or foot OF the clergyman and place It
whore Il should be TO the words
In correct histrionic fashion. She will re-
peat the lines over and over until the right
dramatic information Is learned. 1t IL strange
to hear the sentences that cut tho air as
the door OF the classroom is opened.
Cast your burden upon me-
Now, don't accompany that word cast
with a gesture that suggests the man who
is lodging a SNOWFALL thrown by a small
boy. More dignity about 1t. Rise your
chin a little. Put yDur head slightly aside
In the attitude Of appeal n the arms
outstretched. as suggestive of one who
would enfoid IN them the troubles of the
entire world. That will do.
Now, then, What shall It profit q man.
Just the slightest suggestion OF menace In
tho argument will help, but don't make It
too pronounced. This lie more than an
argumcntative appeal. 1t is one accom-
panied by the awful condition that q man
who gains the whole world may lose his
own soul. Deepen your voice there. Don't
be plaintlve. 1t Is not a sentence calling
for plaintiveness. Now, this sentence:
There is np beauty in sin Lean slightly
on the desk and throw your head a little
forward"
So the rehearsal proceeds. The preacher
and the teacher are equally in earnest. The
former because he wants to attain the OBJ
Ject to which he has devoted his life, the
driving home forcefully Of an appeal to
sinners, and the teacher for the less eth
ereal but to her equally important reason,
that she Is paid for it,-New York Tribune.

WEALTH IN EARTH'S DEPTHS
Astronomer F~lnmmarion Proposes
Digging y Deep Hole I'm
the Ground.

In the Herald OF December 30 last ]
brought up again the Idea which l had
expounded a long time ago OF digging a
geothermic well to explore the internal
constitution of the globe. Now that the
effervescence produced by the catastrophe
at Messlna has Gained a little, requests
have come to me from many quarters to
exactly describe my plans. With great
pleasure I accede to these requests.
The plan is TO dig as deeply as possible
straight down from the earth's surface
to find an economic and almost mex
haustible source Of heat, to verify the
rate of calorio increase. to find out II the
materials constituting the terrestrial globe
are in a state OF fusion-in q word. to dc
nationally and directly what has been done
slightly and a little by chance Up to the
present time in mines.
Suppose that this work were undertaken
As the we'll must be very deep. II must also
be very wide, dnd imagine that a circle
of 200 meters in diameter would be suf.
ficient. Where should the earth taken out
be thrown7 Into the sea. However, this
we'll must not be dug on the seacoast or
account OF the danger from marine In
filtration, but on q plain at a distance OF
several kilometers and approximately al
the level of the sea. For this reason Bel
GUM, Holland, or the French district Of
Les Landes might be chosen, AS for the
debris, It could be taken away by rail to
the place destined for dumping It.
The idea Of digging a vol to a depth OF
four, five or six kilometers or deeper ap'
pears, without doubt. a little foolish. What
about the money for the realization OF this
foolish ~projeot7 This prodigious undertak.
Ing should not INCREASE by even one cent
the budget of the civilized countries which
would take part in this work. Soldiers
could be employed. and a foreign legior
Of a new order could be established, whose
mission 1t would be to explore the interior
OF the earth,
And who knows what riches, what curl
osities geological and archaeological might
not be revealed by this investigation int

ancient times, without speaking OF all tn,
unknown world which lies in those
abysses. And, above oil, geology would
thus follow in the footsteps Of her elder
sister-astronomy. Is 1t not a little humil'
lating to have brought the stars into ouI
range OF vision by the power Of the tele-
scope, to have measured their distances
to have weighed and analysed them, ant
yet to remain In ignorance of what lieI

As these figures show. the quality of coal
used in any one decade 10 equal to the sn-
tire previous production. II this rate keeps
on, as II probably will. the aggregate con-
sumption Of the ten years from 1906 to 1915
will approximate to the aggregate con-
sumption during the preceding eighty-five
years. And in still later decades 1t may
swell to proportions far exceeding our
imagination.
Here we must consider the fact that our
methods Of mining are wastefui in the ex-
treme. The geological survey found that
in many coal mines only the best parts

moved. while inferior qualities and such
portions as are difficult to mine are never
