LADY MANNERING'S SOCIETY
 ! NEWS GOSSIP OF LONDON

AS all know, the Queen Is far from be- Ing a wearer of large hats, which fact emphasizes her kindness on this oeea- sion.
 At the various public functions where the Kings sons have lately been seen the admirable manner in which they hold themselves has been noticed. They are as erect as young guardsmen This ia due to the physical drill they practice each morning with unfailing regularity under the tutorage of an expert. Dumb bells, Indian clubs and horizontal bars play a part in the lessons. It is said that even on the morning of the investi- ture of the Prince of Wales as Knight of the Garter he was not permitted to fore- go his morning drill. For King George is almost worshipper of health. and he is of the opinion that here is no greater builder of it than physical ex- ercise.
 The Duchess of Roxeburgh has added another great emerald to her wonderful collection. Ii is said that the emerald, which is mounted in circle of diamonds, was brought to London and sold by an Oriental potentate here for the corona ton. The Duchess has, perhaps, the finest collection of emeralds known, with the exception of the German Empress. The Duchess has two necklaces of cut emeralds and two ropes of caboehon em- eralds of great size; also a tiara of dia- monds and emeralds and a stomacher of diamonds and emeralds.
 Lord curzon of Kedleston has given succession of small house parties to relatives and immediate friends at Hackwood, a fine old Inigo Jones man sion which he has occupied for some time on a lease from Lord Bolton. His sister-in-l law, Lady Suffolk Miss Daisy Letter., some times acts as hostess for him. His three little girls, the young est of whom Is a god daughter of Queen Alexandra. are all devoted to her. and according to popular opinion, 1t k she who attends to their wardrobes and en- gages their governesses as well. At Haekwood there is a picture of the late Lady Curzon at every turn. Friends be- lieve that Lord Curzon never quite re- covered from grief over his wife's s death and they add that he never will. Pretty much the same may be remark ed of Lady Curzons own family. In describing it, one of their intimates said: Ut seemed as though with one fell stroke the spirit was taken out of all the Letter family"

Gradual Growth


 Upon the completion of the Chamber of Commerce building two small offices were leased on the fourth floor and in January of 1911, upon the appoint | ment of the present large force, a suite | of new offices on the same floor, com I prising three rooms of more adequate | size was engaged. The office is provided with a chief clerk. One of these rooms. which Mr. Nesbitt calls the "record l loom'' will be placed in systematic or l der all of the various mine maps, coal l statistics and data and records having reference to the mine inspectors work and the Alabama coal mines in general. Originally ther was but one state mine l inspector appointed. Then, a chief, with l one assistant. Two assistants were later l added and this rule maintained until the | present year. when the provisions Of the l ne whining. law called for more ade- uuate number of men to cope with the l growing industry or in the words of 1 section 1 of the mining laws of Ala | bama:
 "Be it enacted by the legislature of 1 Alabama that there shall be appointed by the governor of Alabama an in- spector of coal mines for each two and | A half million tons of coal mined in the state, or aiority fraction there I of. based on the report of the tonnage | mined for the previous years, compile ed by the chief mine inspector, one of

Reports for Official Not Public Use


 l These reports are filed and kept on rec
 ord in the chief mine inspectors office. l In addition to keeping such records and statistics of accidents the board of mine I inspectors is required by the law to make
 a full investigation of every accident | causing death or personal injury. as the
 following section provides;
 Section 111a. It shall be the duty of
 said board whenever notified of any fa :
 tai accident or accident causing serious
 personal injury, to any person employ
 cd in any coal mine in this state or any
 gas or dust explosions therein, to require 1 a member of said board to Immediately repair to the scene of the accident or l explosion and investigate the cause of such accident or explosion and make such 1 orders as are necessary or proper 10 se- cure the safety of the persons working 1 therein.'
 Furthermore, if a any time the mine inspectors consider that an accident in mine is imminent, that there Is in | their opinion sufficient gas or dust in mine to cause an explosion in any
 portion of the mine and endanger the lives of the miners, the chief mine in- spector with the concurrence of two of
 the associate inspectors" is vested with power and authority to shut that mine down, or immediately stop the opera tion of the dangerous part. A reasona- ble length of time is given the opera tor, in this event. to remove the dan ger of such explosion.
 Thus, under the law, as can readily be seen. the board of mine inspectors of
 Alabama is indeed clothed with tre- | mendous responsibility.
 Ore Mines Left Out Why the iron ore mines of the state should not come in for some such care ful supervision and rulings for safety is a puzzling matter. While, of course, the gas or dust explosion danger is eliminated, yet there are in the red orc mines quite as many accidents from other causes, machinery, tools and ap- pliances, falls" etc, as In the coal mines.
 Not an ore mine in the state is under state inspection or, consequently, re- garded In any of the sections of the new mining laws.
 |. It is not improbable that in the furth- CT progress of our bureau of mines pro- vision will be made to take in the Red mountain mines.
 The first headquarters of the state min | ing bureau-as 1t can now be termed | was a dingy room in the old Potter building. Then small-sized office in the I Chalifoux building was rented, and when ] that building burned down an office was
 secured in the Title Guarantee build

TO REDEEM SWAMP LAND
Long Island City Business Men
Considering Project.

\ project for adding about $1,000 600
worth of valuable property to the city's
real estate holdings and at the same time
saving about S250,O0O, the cost for filling
swamp land. is now under consideration
by the Long Island City Business Mems
Association. The organization wants the
contractors engaged in bunding the new
subways to dump the earth and rock taken
from the subway workings into the big
Ravenswood swamp in Long Island City.
This swamp runs under the Long Island
City viaduct Of the new greensboro
Bridge and in some places has a depth OF
forty feet or more. The Bridge Depart
ment owns strip Of land eighty feet in
width directly under the bridge. while
the city has two streets on either side Of
this strip, each street being fifty feet in
width. In addition TO this Van Alst ave.
nue.. which is 100 feet in width, runs UNI
der the bridge at right angles.
IT is proposed by the business Mems
Association 10 have the city open the floor
OF the new bridge and run chutes down to
the swamp and have the contractors. who
now are compelled to pay for having the
earth and rock towed and dumped at sea,
simply haul it TO the. bridge chutes and
dump il into the swamp below.

ARMY'S AEROPLANE GUN
Remarkable Weapon To Be Test
ed at Sandy Hook.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 90 new 6-pounder
gun. equipped with specially adapted high
explosive projecties and shrapnel shells 10
demolsh aeroplanes and balloons in battle
has been perfected by the army. IL can be
elevated g.. any angle and possesses a
maximum effective range Of seven miles
The construction Of the new rife has just
been completed at the Rock Island arsenal
Experiments with it will begin at the Sandy
Hook proving ground within fortnight
The shells which this gun will fire are
described as remarkable devices They WIN
be loaded with dunnite or other high eX-
plosive, and on bursting will send a
shower OF shot i'm a conelike area, similar
TO the performance Of n skyrockeb almost
certain to strike an airship II aimed with
any degree of accuracy. Following in the
wake Of these powerful projectiles will be
tracers which will aid In aiming the gun
AZ the course of a hostile airship. The trac-
ers TO be used I'm daylight will he of smoke
while sparks will show the path OF the shell
at night The sight of the new gun also
has been perfected, and is designed TO meet
the changing conditions of the trajectory OF
a proiectile fired at varying angles.
In its experiments the army will shoot
AT balloons and box kites, and a real air
ship may be used for the purpose of sight
ing at greater distances. The signal corps
will be asked to cooperate with the ord
nance department and send one OF its air
ships at College Park, Md, to the proving

Credit for the invention belongs to ord
