Mining Coffin Lumber

One of the most curious industries in the
world is the business of mining for coffin
planks. which is carried on in Upper Ton
quin, a portion Of the French possessions
in southeastern Asia. In a certain district
in this province there exists a great under
ground deposit of logs, which probably
were the trunks of trees engulfed by an
earthquake or some other CONFUSION Of
nature at a comparatively recent period.
The trees are a species of pine known to
the natives as ''namhou." The wood Is
almost imperishable and has the quality,
either through its nature or as the result
OF It's sojourn underground, Of resisting
decay from damp. This quality makes 1t
particularly valuable for the manufacture
OF collins and for this purpose it is largely
exported to Europe.
The trees often are a yard in diameter.
They are buried in sandy earth, at a
depth Of from two to eight yards, and are
dug up by native labor as demand is made
! for them

called upon to give a shoveling demonstra-
ton.
He asked damages from the Illinois Zinc
company, having been injured while en-
ployed in mine owned by the defendants
He claimed to he permanently injured and
that he had little or no use of his right
arm. The defendant claimed he had been
employed in a coal mine In Ohio and also
had become a brakeman on the Erie rail-
road. In the effort to convince the Jury
that he could not shovel coal or twist
brakes II HIS arm was injured. the coal
shOveling exhibit was arranged.
Schneider, 10 the discontinue OF the de-
Tense. seized the shovel with his left hand
braced the handle under the. elbow OF his
right arm and shOveled the coal from one
barrow to the other. The jury gave him
a verdict.
