Some people take no more interest

their places of business, eat, sleep,
sell goods, and die. without leaving
a single impress on the community
they live in, either for good orbad.
That is a poor way for a real man
to act. He takes the benefits his com

There are some people who pu'

But there is not any such chasm. Re

4 WhIstIina kettIs.

A teakettle that whistles cheerily to
let the housewife know that the water
is boiling and that the gas may be
turned down has been introduced in
EngIaLl and is meeti1g with favor.
The kettle has no lid through which
the scalding steam may issue. but is
fiIled and emptied through the spout
which is sufficiently large. The abb
sence OF the lid not only prevents
scalding. but keeps any Of the steam
from escaping. which means that the
water will reach the boiling point much
more quickly than in the ordinary ket
tie. In the spout is a stopper which
contains the whistle, and this is Toe

made that the water is boiling.

SAFETY FOR MINERS
SIMPLE DEVICES THAT MIGHT BE
or MUCH VALUE.
Recent Disaster at Cherry Hill Has
Led Writer in Eastern Journal to
Make Suggestions for Avoid
ing catastrophes.

In reading the accounts OF various
recent coal mine disasters, Il occurs
10 me that certain devices for protect
ing life should be employed under
such conditions which, from all ac-
counts, appear not to have been uti'-
ized in such cases.
The action of the miners at Cherry
Hill In shutting themselves up "a one
of the mine compartments, by filling
up the opening with earth and otner
material. suggests the advisability OF
installing heavy asbestos curtains
Qike the fire curtains used in the
aters). or other similar means OF cut
ting off connection Of one part OF a
mine from another. These curtains
could be Installed in such way as TO
be removed from workings that pe-
come exhausted or are not used.
Another suggestion is that each sec
tion of the mine workings be provided
with emergency telephone stations
Telephone systems, ] believe, have
been installed for business purposes
in some mines. Such facilities woulo
enable entombed miners to communi'
cate with the outside and afford IN
Il valuable assistance In case OF acci-
dent.
The temporary lighting Of workings
by electricity also afford greater
safety. and would doubtless be very
valuable in case of accident.
In mines without water supplies, Y
would seem feasible to keep all sec
tions of the workings supplied with
readily available water, so that, IN
case of an accident. If the miners were
cut OF from any section OF the mine
at least sufficient water would be al
hand to meet their needs.
Il would seem desirable, also, e
have certain escape shafts located II
the safest parts of the mine. in sec
tions which could quickly be cut on
in case Of fire or explosion. They
should be special shafts, to be usec
for the escape OF the men in case O
accident. They could be provided witt
iron ladders or hand-hoisting appa
ratus, II necessary, and would CORE
