New Dinins-Room and New Chapel In
Guided In the Plans.

Frankfort. Convicts in the Frank
fort penitentiary are to have new
dining-room where negroes and whites
will be separated and where the sani-
tary arrangements can be looked after
better. The prison commission is
working on plans and If 1t does not
cost too much to make the changes
that are contemplated they viii be-
underway within the next few weeks.
BY changing the dining-room space
will be made for large chapel, In
which Rev. Walter vreeland the pris-
on chaplain, can talk to the entire
convict body at one time, something
not possible now.
Back of the present sdining-room is
building newer than any of the
others used by the Hoge- montgomery
Co. The company wants to move.
This would leave one building vacant,
and the commission wants to convert
this into dining-rooms.
The old dining-room will be convert
ed into chapel It will be large
enough to seat 1900, and will accom-
modate all the convicts at one time

the purchase of Mammoth Cave and
its approaches for use as national
park. The bill provides that three
commissioners, under the supervision
of the secretary of war, but appointed
from civil life, be created as board

SECOND PLACE As

Buckeye acknowledgements
Showed Some Curtailment.

Charleston According to bulletin
issued by the United States geological
survey twenty-five per cent more coal
was mined in West Virginia during the
calendar year of 1910, than during any
year in the history of the state.
For the first time West Virginia thus
takes second place among the coal
producing states producing several
million tons more than illinois ever
produced in amy one year OF the en-
tire coal production of the United
States, West Virginia produced almost
one-sixth. About one-fomth of all the
coal mined in the United States out
side of Pennsylvania was produced
from the mines of West Virginia.
Statistics for the year have not been
completed, but bulletin has been
published showing from estimates that
the todal coal production OF the United
States for 1910 fell only about one per
cent below the banner year of 1907.
West Virginia's production. however,
was by far the greatest in the history
Of the state.
"Of the increased production Of coal
In West Virginia the largest part was
in the counties in the southern portion
If the state says the bulletin, al
though the northern counties showed
increased activity. In addition to the
marked increase in shipments to the
west, there was also an increase in the
tidewater shipments, the Virginian
railway and the new developments
along its lines adding materially to
this tonnage"
The coal production OF the entire
country for 1910 was between 475,000,-
600 and 4s5.o00,O0O short tons. OF this
Pennsylvania produced nearly $4,000
900 tons, leaving the total bituminous
production between 800 100000 and
400,000,000 tons OF this, West Vir-
ginia produced more than 60,000,000.
''The most important factor influenc-
ing the coal mining industry" says the
bulletin, was the prolonged strike in
Illinois and the southern states With
exception of the western district of
Kentucky, West Virginia received the
most marked benefit from the shut-
down
During the latter part Of the year,
there was a large falling off in the i'm
portant industries that consumed steel,
| and this was SO reflected in the coal
and coke markets that in the latter

were operated only at fifty per cent OF
their capacity"

To Arrange Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty Of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most, three different
kinds of flowers In one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form bold
contrast or, better still, soft har-
mony. The aim Of the decorator should
be to show off the fowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
"a dinner table should be either white,
a delicate shade of green, or rose col
or, according to the flowers arranged
In them.
