Automobiles, Sore Throat.

'Automobilist's sore throat" said a
Pittsburg physician, sis a malady eso
pecially prevalent in the spring, when
the roads are dusty. 1t is due to tba
dust that the Automobiles swallow.
Inasmuch as this dust may contain the
germs Of pus, malignant oedema, tetan-
us, consumption and septicemia, it isn't
strange that the automobiles gets sore
throat. The strange thing is that he
doesn't get something worse. Perhaps.
indeed, he does get something worse.
Consumption occasionally attacks bur.
ly and red-faced automobilists in odd
ways you know.
"The remedy? 1t is to protect from
dust the nose and mouth, the same as
the eyes are always protected. The
automobilist should wear respirator.
Further, after dusty run, he should
gargle the throat with weak and
harmless antiseptic solution. But
imagine an automobilist, after long
run, garg1e with anything except"
And the physician made the gesture
of one who losses off liquid far more
delectable than peroxide or carbolic.

Value of American Peat.

The use of peat for domestic pur-

back several hundred years, but the

mining and utilizing peat has been

the present time in many of the Euro
pean countries peat is large source
Of power development through the ald
Of the gas producer and engine, ana
the utilization Of the peat boys is be-

tent Of this development may be had
from the statement that Russia alone
mines annually over 100000 tons or
dry peat
It is estimated by the United states
geological survey that the boys Oh
this country contain approximately

RED MEN WERE INDUSTRIOUS
Their Method of Working Copper
Mines In the Lake Superior
Region.

The copper mines in the Lake su.
perior region were most important to
the Indians. When we remember THAI
they did not understand the smelling
of ores we can appreciate the value
Of these mines. In them the native
metal occurs both in small pieces and
great masses. The Indians had on1v
to dig away the earth and smash tho
rocks with stones some of which thew
provided with a groove and attached
to handle by means Of a withe
around the groove.
Archaelogists have found that thew
also built fires upon the rocks and
thus cracked them that they might
more easily be smashed with ham,
mers. One piece Of copper propped
upon poles over fifteen feet below the
surface of the ground was found by
explorers where it had been aban.
doned by the Indian quarrymen.
Weighing almost three tons, it was a
monument to the industry of the
North American Indians, who have too
often been considered lazy and who,
we must remember, had only the sim.
plest tools with which to raise this
heavy mass. One Of their shafts,
which contained mass of copper
weighing several tons, was twenty-six
feet deep and the mass of copper had
been raised several feet, probably the
only means the Indians had of moving
it being wedges and sticks.
These were exceptionally deep
shafts, many others being smaller In
one place an area of about 400 acres
had been worked over. Judging from
the number Of stone hammers or
mauls found in a given bulk of the de-
bris excavated from these ancient dig
gings thousands and thousands of the
hammers must have been used, and
may be found by clearing out the old
workings.-Southern Workmen.

But the stiff card missed the pocket
and f1uttered quietly to the floor,
where 1t lay unseen.
The pool was formed, and the check,
which Mr.. Wells might have sent
quite simply to the opera house man
agement, went to the POOLS manager,
Austin, who seemed less likely to ap-
pear involved in the market move
ments of Colorado Central than New
ton, its vice president. Mr.. Wells, of
course, never managed pools.
The campaign as planned contained
no complex details The intention was
and then to move it up, trading in and
out on the way up, SO that the entire
line might be disposed of at an aver
age advance over 40, the ruling price,
sufficient to give the three members
profits of $4,000 each. An average
advance of five points on 10000 shares
would allow this profit after ex-
penses.
The operations in the market, in
Guiding the necessary buying and sell
ing of Colorado Central, were irtrust-
ed to Warren Hazlitt, of the Stock
Exchange house of Hazlitt & Greene,
through whom Austin usually traded.
Hazlitt's first move, with the full
approval of the little pool, was to put
Colorado Central down a few points
by apparent free selling, in order that
his line of stock might be accumulated
as near 40 as possible. The decline
attracted little attention In the dull
market, and 1t was not until it touched
"A on the upward swing that the ira
ding in 1T became at all animated.
Here Hazlitt encountered such free
selling of the stock that In order to
keep it from breaking he was COM
PEELED to buy largely.
This selling was reported to the
pool as perfectly natural profit taking,
and request made for more funds
to offset the calls On the broker.
