Actual Reproduction Of Underground
Disaster Planned to lie Dramatic
Feature Of Mine Safety Convention

Special to The Herald.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Oct. 20.-
Tie actual reproduction OF an ex-
plosion In a coal mine promises to be
the really dramatic feature of the two
days program OF the National Mine
Safety demonstration. October 80 and
81. at Pittsburg. Pa.
The demonstration. which Is under
the auspices OF the bureau of mines.
the American Red Cross and the
Pittsburg Coal Operators Associa-
ton. has for It's purpose a friendly
me ting OF the mine owners superin-
tepdents and miners from all over the
country. to witness and talk over the
dangers OF the mines and remedies
for certain OF the dangers as advo-
Gated by the bureau OF mines.
TIE bureau has long been OF the
opinion that coal dust In a mine was
more OF n menace TO the miners than
gas, and has frequently demonstrated
this In an experimental ut 'el tube at
its station. Fortieth and Butler
streets. Pittsburg.
These experiments. showing how
easily the coal dust becomes ignited
and causes an explosion. hav6 been
taken as conclusive by the great ma
tority OF mine owners and superin-
tendents. aad now great precautions
are being taken to keep down the
coal dust In mines. The question has
risen, however. not only In this coun-
try. but also In European coal pro-
ducing countries. whether the re-
suits obtained In the experimental
tube are the same as would be found
in a mine under working conditions.
In order to settle this problem. and to
mafe still more conclusive the bu-
reau's contention that coal dust Is the
real danger OF the mines the bu-
reau's engineers started the digging
Of mine at Bruceton. Pa. twelve
miles from Pittsburg. i
The mine. which was planned to
many comm srcially operat-
ed mines in Pennsylvania and other
states, Is now reday for the expert
ments. The bad practices found In
mines where the lives Of men are
risked. will all be contained In the
mine. and black pow
der, the most dangerous explosive In
mines. win be ussd.
Most mine explosions are caused
by what the miners term "blown out"

CHILDREN FIND DYNAMITE
UNDERNEATH THEBEs BRIDGE
Explosive Was in Position to Threaten
Passing Trains.

Chicago, Dec 2S--What may have
Keen an attempt to destroy the Thebes
bridge over the Mississippi river at
Thebes, Ill, came TO the attention Of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail-
road company today with the news of
several children finding a quantity of
dynamite with fuse attached among the
tiTnbers of an overhead bridge which
spans the track approaches to the rail-
road bridge.
"Our informant, C. w. Mogg, station
agent at Thebes,'' said w. j. Jackson.
vice president of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois railroad, sent a mes
sage to me saying that IA sticks of
dynamite with cap and fuse attached
had been found by children beneath
the wagon bridge. The explosive was
in q position to threaten the tracks,
which are used by all our trains, and
to wreck the railroad bridge ap-
proaches"
The dynamite was discovered Sun
day, but the railroad officials at Thebes
worked in secret for time in the hope
of apprehending whoever was reSpon-
sible for the placing Of the explosive.

WHAT CLEANLINESS ACCOM- :
PLfSHES.

The great American cities are car
rying the virtue of municipal clean
illness TO a point which gives them
worldwide good repute.
Certainly the city of New York
makes a great record in vital stats
ties for health. In 1910 the deaths per
1000 of population We're 1895, and
Chicago beat that record with a show
ing Of 1888. This year the record SO
far has been 1919 with every prospect
of the final score being 10 or less. For
a city OF over four millions, contain
ing so large a proportion of people
who neither know nor care anything
about sanitation and who must be led
and taught and shown and compelled
TO take the most common precautions.
this is a wonderfully low rate, the low
est Of any big city in the country, it
is said, and for the single month of
October last, when it stood at 1899
per one thousand. lit was as low as
that of any rural community in the
country
This is a most flattering record. 1t
shows what the care of garbage, street
cleaning and persistent attention to
cleanliness will do in the way of main
tanning health in the face of ignorance
and crowded conditions.

WHERE CARE PAYS.

The loss of timber every year by
forest fires is being gradually reduced
by the recognition that it is unneces-
sary- The lumbermen in convention
recently at Portland, Oregon, in their
discussions showed that the annual
loss has been greatly reduced by war
denS who enforce rules and reSuia-
,tiens sfesi gned to prevent them
In. Oregon the fire loss was reduced
by something over 80 per cent last
year. A state law makes eil-burning
locomotives compulsory. In the log
cling camps cigarettes are tabooed;
cigar lighters, the flames of which are
automatically extinguished when used,
are provided. Greater care has come
to be employed also in clearing away
the nmbs, or "slashings' from the
fallen trees. Once they were left about
to dry and decay. causing thereby a
are menace which has been response
BILE for the destruction of millions OF
dollars worth of standing timber In
past years. Now the law requires that
all slashings shall be burned at a time
OF year usually fall or winter, when
the danger of the flames spreading is
the least.
New England Is still having too
heavy annual losses because of the
carelessness Of wanderers and INSULT
cient law upon the subject. This Is a
subject worthy the attention of any of
our legislatures.

WHAT CAUSED A FURoRE.

It becomes a bore to be eyerlastingly
protected and a little episode at the
White house of a recent rainy morn
ing shows that the presidential heart
yearns for a little more freedom-for
the real naturalness of life.
President Taft and wife planned to
run away from the guards and secret
service, men just TO be alone by them
selves for a little while after break
fast There was great excitement
when they were missed.
For two hours the White house was
in a furOre. Major Butt and Secretary
EIilles were distracted. The president
and the Presidents wife. were missing
and not q soul knew where they had
gone. There was a driving storm, yet
no automobile or carriage was miss
ing. The distinguished runaways had
not gone out the front door. And all
the time Mr.. and Mrs. Taft were hav-
ing a royal good time in the rain,
laughing like school boy and girl
sweethearts and dropping in on some
Of their friends, who We're astonished
al the informality of the procedure.
President Taft on more than one
occasion has Iamented because the
stern obligations of official position
denied him many simple pleasures of
neigh borliness of which he is 50 fond.
He has said that he and his wife sadly
miss those hours of leisure, when they
found so much enjoyment in each 9th
er's company and in quietly visiting
their personal friends.
The story of their little eseapade
amuses the country. 1t was an I'M
usual indulgence, and no doubt they
enjoyed it immensely.

DIN Genesis xiii, II, we read "Arise,
walk through the land in the length of
it and in the breadth of It; for ! will
give Il unto thee" This was the Lords
pronaise to Abraham. And then in Acts
vi. ;, we read "And He (God) gave him
(Abrahan) NONE INHERITANCE in
it, no, not so much as to set his foot
on; yet He promised that He would
give it to him for a possession" When
win tie Lords promise to Abraham be
fulfilled? And If Abraham was Gods
friends" how is it that He did not
promise him an heavenly inheritance?
(F. E. P)
Answer.=An Of the promises which
the Lord made prior to the time of the
advent of the Lord Jesus We're of an
ee1 THY nature. Not one related 70 a
spiritual or heavenly condition. Inc
spiritual promises contained in the
New Testament were all given to the
Church class, beginning with Chris.
who is the Head of the Church. mere
fore, all of the Prophets and the Jews
were expecting earthly reWards and
blessings. Those premises made IN
oIGen times to the faithful friends and
servants of the Lord are all to be 1ul-
filled through the Church class, those
who are the Sons of God, when the
Church is completed and giofihed at
the second coming of Christ; for thus
says the Apostle-"And these all hav-
ing obtained a good report through
faith, received not the promise; God
having provided some better thing for
US, that they Chose mentioned In the
preceding verses, Abraham Moses,
etc) without US should not be made
perfect" Hebrews Xi, SO, 40. There is
a clear distinction between friendship
and sonship. II is appropriate that
God should bestow greater honcrs and
blessings upon His Sons" than those
that He has promised to His friends
and servants" See Hebrews iii. 5, 6.
