Felt Safer In tbs Mine.

In an article in the Atlantic Monthly
Joseph Husband describes a thorough
examination of a coal mine in the mid
die west Work was discontinued for
the time. and the miners were obliged
to stay ION top" for a number of days.
So great was the interest taken by the
men in this work of examination that
there was little complaining. One
morning. however, as 1 walked back
from the power house to the town 1
met Luke Davis. an Old miner of about
sixty, who came imping down the
street toward the mine. and from him
I heard the first complaint Of the kind,
and many like it followed, that I had
yet encountered.
THE air on top amt fit to live in,"
he said. Zone day it's cold: Bext day
it's hot I've had rheumatism ever
since the mine shut down. The only
place a man keeps his health is under
ground" There were many others
who shared his views.

THE SILKWORM.

But For Mans Aid the Domesticated
Insect Would Be Extinct.
A peculiar fact about the silkworm
is that it is actually a domesticated in
sect. Neither the animals nor the fowls
Of the barnyard. remote as they are
from the wild types, need so little re-
straint as this bombyx mort, which,
prodigiously Industrious though it be,
has never been able to meet the worlds
demand for its spun product.
As a matter of fact. the silkworm
has been SO domesticated through the
ages that 1t would become extinct now
were it not for the aid of man. Born
into slavery, the cRterpillars crawl con-
tentedly over the narrow territory of
their feeding trays, and. though the
moths have wings, they have lost all
desire to hy. This slavery began in
China more than $500 years ago.
Nevertheless all the worlds silk does
not come from the domesticated insect.
Not little of the supply is wild silk"
This is the product of various insects
belonging to the larger family of sat
urniidae. Chief among them Industrial

mylitta, the source of tussah silk.-Har-

Future of Lake Geneva.

The lake of Geneva, lying in the
deep valley between the Alps and the
Jura mountains, performs a remark
able work for the benefit Of man.
During the summer its waters store
Up a great quantity of heat. which is
slowly radiated into the air in the
course of the following autumn. Thus
the freezing currents descending from
the snow topped mountains around
are warmed and tempered, and the
atmosphere along the shores OF the
lake is maintained at a moderate tenn
perature. But the remote descendants
of the present inha bitants will expe-
rience quite a different state Of af-

ing to the people the article of base
ball last season that they are accus-
toned to enjoy. That the response
on the part of the public will be as
hearty and liberal as in former years
does not admit of doubt.
Rock Island is noted for its base
ball spirit. its baseball loyalty and
it's true sportmanship 1t is free
from knockers. 1t stands by it's team

representative of the true baseball
idea.
The Rock Island Baseball associa-
ton has never failed to present the
best team possible to get together,
regardless of cost. 1t has won two
pennants. It has always been in the
running and will be so again.
There has scarcely been year in

How Eggs Take ON Cost.

Country produce has an astonishing
way of taking on cost before it finally
gets 10 the city consumer.
For instance. when the farmer in tho
rural districts delivers a case of eggs
TO the country merchant he gets just
now something like y cents for them
possibly a little more or less When tbs
city housewife buys these strictly fresh
eggs she pays about % cents for them
little more or less. From 10 TO -
cents a dozen has been added To the
cost between the producer and the con
sumner
Who gets this 10 cents? a long row
OF middiemen. The country merchan:
gets his profit; the express company or
railroad gets its transp ortstion fee: the
commission merchant takes his profit
and finally the city merchant gets what
is left of the y cents.
Every other sort of country produce
meets with the same sort Of profit tax
ing al every turn Of the road as il goes
from farm TO the ultimate consumer.
It seems TO be inevitable for no one
has vet devised a scheme Of bringing
producers and consumers closer to-
getheT and without the Intervention of
Eve or six middlemen.
Nevertheless the present system
which makes the farmers l2-cent eggs

to reckon with it. Therefore the
words and acts OF Messrs. Clark, Tn

sociates get "headlined' in the papers
for the little hour IN which they strut

For the next two years the coun-

of the southern committee chiefs of
the house have nothing TO fear from
their own individual constituents. In
their districts there is only one party.

likely TO have as good a specimen OF
democratic government in the senate

stand this for two years. 1t will have

drivel There is a large and militant
