SEAS EAT THE CONTINENTS
the Land by euiIcing Sand and
Single Beaches

A great deal of interest is taken
in England in the question of coast
protection The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away,
but this very process furnishes a de-
Tense for the land by building up
long beaches Of sand and shingle,
which arrest the waves before they
can attack the cliffs. An effort is
making to prevent, or better regu-
late, the removal of this material
for construction and road building,
because IN many places its removal
has permitted the sea freely to exert
its power of erosion.
The ordnance survey has ascer-
tanned that in the last IS years Eng
land has lost $3.50 acres by sea ero-
sion, and gained $4,000 acres
through retaining land, the exist
ence of which is mainly due to ma
terial brought down by the rivers

RICHES FROM THE WEST.

Nearly a third of a billion dollars
was added to the wealth of the Unit
ed States from the mineral produc-
ton of the western states during
1910, according to the figures Of the
United States geological survey.
This includes about sec. 900. OO1
worth of coal, the remaining produce
ton. principally metals having a
value of practically a quarter Of a
billion dollars. The total figures Of
western mineral production as COM
piled by the survey are S313.944,SS1.
This is about one-fourth the total
agricultural production of the same
area, the proportion between min
eral and agricultural production be-
ing about the same as for the entire
United States. The agricultural
production of the western states. de-
rived from figures of the department
OF agriculture, was approximately
1884, .91 900. The area consid-
cred includes the belt from the Da-
kotas south TO Texas and the terri
tory westward.

GERMAN At NIAGARA FALLS
stoIid Visitor Could Not See Anything
Especially Wonderful in the
Great Cataract.

A native of Germany was visiting
an American friend in New York.
and the latter bethought himself to
take his guest on visit to Niagara
Falls. The American, accustomed to
bursts of wonderment and enthusi-
asm, was not a little astonished to
see his Teutonic friend stand and
gaze stolidly minute after minute
upon that roaring cataract, without
evincing the faintest sign of emo
ton. Finally. unable any longer to
conceal his chagrin and disappoint-
ment, the American turned to his
communion and asked: 'Don't YOU
think that's wonderful sight p
sVot:" asked the Dutchman. '.Why,
that gigantic body of water pouring
over that lofty precipice." The Ger
man stood for few seconds longer,
until he got the idea digested. then
looked up blankly and asked: well,

PAGE HAD PLENTY OF MONEY
How Alexander N. Doekery's Little
Plan to Evade Borrowing Friend
Fell Through.

Alexander NJ. Dockery, former
governor Of Missouri, was at one
time member of the house of rep
resentatives, and, while filling the
job, made the acquaintance of a
needy young man who formed the
habit of borrowing too much money.
Dockery got tired of being touched"
every few days and decided to put
a stop to it.
One day he was called out of the
house chamber by the borrowing
friend.
"Say, Dockerv," came the usual
request, "can You lend me twenty::"
Dockcry looked grieved and cast
down, felt in all his pockets and
nearly succeeded in squeezing out a
tear from his left eye.
81 haven't got cent" he said in
sepulchral tone.
At that moment he spied a page
boy coming down the corridor
boy who, he knew, was always hard
up. The legislator saw way of
making an effective escape.
Il don't even know where I could
borrow the money for you, Ben" he
concluded. Turning quickly, he
called the page. cray, my boy" he
said kindly. shave you twenty dol
lars with you?''
The boy put his hand into pock-
ct, Dockery took few steps toward
the door and the would-be borrower
began to mourn.

SCHOOL TEACHER KING.

The versatile Peter the Great fol-
lowed his various professions for
pleasure; but there have been mon
archs who have had of necessity to
follow a profession other than that
Of reigning. When Louis Philippe,
then duke of Charities, fed from
France in 1898, he took q post in a
school in Switzerland, where he
taught mathematics and geography
under the name of n. Chabaud-La-
tour. And in ancient times there
was Dionysius, who, after reigning
over Syracuse and getting deposed,
earned a meager living as a school,
master, and later on a less meager
one as a barber. And now there is
g new chapter of "Rois en- Exile"
waiting a writer.

MILLIONS THRoNG TO MECCA
Arabian City Is the Religious Capital

Although one of the most inacces-
sible cities on earth Mecca each year
has visitors in such number that it
must be ranked in this particular
with London and New York. Even
the worlds metropolis on the Thames
can boast no such cosmopolitan
character as is impaired to this mys-
FERROUS city in the wilderness of Ara
bia by the myriads of pilgrims, who
at the cost of incredible pains annu-
ally crowd into its confines.
This city is the oldest place of
resort in existence, vet of all the mil
lions who have visited it not \ score

come out alive. No flag of citizen

in no other way.

When County Surveyor Edward S.
Ault announced his belief in the ex-
lstence of local crushed stone COM
bine, for the purpose of holding up
contractors on many miles of pro-
posed pike in Marion county this
year, by boosting prices on crushed
stone, he stirred up something OF a
hornets nest and as a result some
rather interesting charges and coun-
ter charges are being made.
Tuesday, j. NJ. Stone, formerly SUI
perintendent of the Norris & Chris
ton quarries and an experienced stone
man. was awarded the contract for
building the Wildcat pike. because he
successfully underbid all his rivals.
He was enabled to do this by reason
of getting the state railroad commits
sion to force cheaper rate for haul
ing stone from this city to DeCliff
When Engineer Ault made his esti-
mates, he figured on the price OF crush
ed stone to the contractors being so
cents per yard, whereas prices have
been advanced to So cents recently.
and local contractors claim they can
not bid within the engineers estimate
DeCduSe OF lIllS ADVANCE.
Today the charge was made that
j. NJ. stone. because of his former
association with the stone interests
here, was representing the stone com
bine, which has advanced prices
merely to shut out other bidders.
There Is no real evidence to back up
this statement other than the general
appearance of things, and many con-
tractors are firmly convinced that Mr..
Stone has some agreement with the
stone interests which will permit him
to go ahead and underbid them on all
the work that is to be let this sum-
mer. The Mirror has been unable to
verify the truth of this claim and 81
Is published merely as a kick on the
part of contractors, showing the gricv-
ances they carry to the county sur
veyor.
Thursday the pike commissioners
on the King, Somerlott and Gracely
pixies will sell the work on these
roads. The King road is four miles
long and Is In Salt Rock and Bowling
Green townships. the engineers esti-
mate being $17,251. The Somerlott
road begins at the John Thibaut home
and runs west to the Radnor pike a
distance of one and one-half miles
II is located in Pleasant and Green
Camp townships and the estimate Is
$4.941.25. The Gracely pike is In
Big Island township and is three miles
long. the estimate being $S,S994O.
Strong denial is made today by
members of various stone companies,
and by j. NJ stone himself, of the
statements that he is In any way
connected with the stone companies
or is being given any advantage over
other contractors.
