Coalheaver VS.. Typewriter.
FLORIDA.

From IIarper's Weekly. /,
The girl who Is operating a typewriter
doesu't appear to be doing very heavy
pAysic;h labor, as compared with the
brawnt Individual in a stokehofd who Is
shoyeIing coal into hungry furnace but
this Is one Of the many instances IN
which superficial appearances. are decep-
tive, as comparison of the force ex-
pended by the two will show.
The stoker may be credited with han
ding one ton or coal per hour, or eiS4l
tons per day, plus the Weight. Of MS
shovel Adding the sshovelsto his. ~. IVY
pounds of coal. he expends about O'pOo
pounds OF energy. -..,-....-,..
For each key struck on the typewriter
there is an expenditure of something over
three ounces, of energy, or. say. one
pound 10 the average word. A FAIR OPP
orator will average 1890 words an hour,
or in eight hours 1900 words-l2.Ooo
pounds of energy. To. throw over the car
rage for each new line. requires on an
average three pounds of force. Twelve
thousand words will make a thousand
lines, so there are 5000 pounds OF energy
TO be added to the 1900 making l5OO
pounds of energy expended. which COM
pares pretty Well with the stoker's 10000.
all things considered. A really fast OPP
orator would push the expenditure of
energy up to 5000 pounds or more.

DECLINE OF THE 1NvALIDEs.:
An Attenuated Guard at the Tomb of
the Great Napoleon.

From the London Standard.
The Invalides, where are found the
tomb of Napoleon and the Military
Museum, which contains an even more
important collection of Napoleonfc
relics than the Malmaison, is threat
ened with reforms The menace is no
small matter in this case. for the In
valides is one Of the few institutions
in Paris where the formality of the
old regime is observed as much in the
spirit as in the deed. The reverential
spirit in the French character, SO often
denied by cursory observers, is always
found on the faces Of the crowd that
gathers every Sunday to peer over the
balustrade at the red granite sar-
cophagus Of the emperor. But. alas.
there are fewer and fewer of the old
pensioners to interest the crowd with
the great "Legende de Napoleon" or
to take visitors down the steps to see
the great bronze doors with the key
hole in the form of the cross of the
Legion Of Honor. On recent afternoon
there were only three on duty, which
meant that only one was able to move
about beneath the dome, while another
stood ON guard beside the bronze doors,
and the third saw that the traditional
rule. hats off, was observed at the
door.
Noticing this, I asked about the full
number of pensioners still left. They
number eleven, all told. but eight of
them are bedridden. They are all vet
Grams of the campaigns in Italy, Mexico
and the war of 1870. / believe the
last Crimean veteran, who with two
comrades conducted a modest but per-
sistent campaign in favor Of the en-
tente cOrdiale (they had a profound
respect for the name of Queen Vic
toria, who had presented them with the
Crimean medal, has died. noticed
that the fewness Of numbers has caused
Gen. Niox, the director of the In
valides. to ask the minister of war to
consider the situation. 1t needs only
an accident to leave Napoleon's tomb
without guard. The matter, how
ever. Is to be fully discussed.
The easiest solution would be to
draft a picket from the nearest in
fantry barracks, but it is felt that the
tradition of having a pensioner to
mount guard should be kept up. For
this it would be necessary to admit
new pensioners. but SO far there has
been no agreement as to how to es-
tablish the conditions of admittance
Since the CONSUMPTION reforms follow
ing the war of 1870 the position of
army pensioners has changed so greatly
that the problem is really a difficult
one to solve.

The Peril of 'Overstudy.
rom The Boston Globe .

From the Boston Globe.
The suicide of a promising young col
lege student and the recent breakdown
of a. young girl who had come from a
distance TO Boston to acquire higher edu-
cation are instances which serve to call
attention to the peril that lies in over
study. To be studious is admirable. but
to devote ones energies to the acquiring
of book knowledge with such application
that the mind collapses and Judgment is
dethroned is pitiful.
There is middle ground between indif-
ference and extreme zeal that every pupil
should endeavor to attain. 1t Is better to
be near the foot Of the class and have
health and strength and fair working
knowledge than to be among the leaders
and a nervous wreck. Teachers should
give kindly advice to students who are
inclined to overstudy, and parents should
be watchful and prevent Injurious devo-
ton TO studies. A thoughtful word in
time may save many girl from break
ing down.

For five years a royal commission on
coast erosion and afforestation sat in
England and made exhaustive investi-
cations into the former subject. About a
year ago the commission made some val
liable suggestions for preventing just such
accidents as that which occurred near
Dover recently. One of the members OF
the commission takes an optimistic view
Of the situation.
although the sea is encroaching on
certain parts of the coast" he says, 1--WE
need have no fear that the sea, in Its
fight with man for the land, will wiz
the battle. On the whole. the coast is
growing outward, and much more land
Is being added to the country than il
being lost
~Neyertheless. at certain parts of the
coast the sea Is making serious inroads
At Pakefield. near Lowestoft, for instance
the village Is gradually being swallowed
I'D by the waves. There can be no doubt
<hat the encroachment OF the sea al
Pakefield Is due to the protective methods
for keeping back the sea at Lowestoft

along the coast it will get its own back

In the past thirty years more than 5000
acres of England's coast have slipped
away. The county of Yorkshire has
been the chief sufferer. losing about SOt
acres. Lancashire and SUFFOLK nave each

Colonel Roosevelt Is Planning Another
Western Trip.

Oyster Bay, July 12.-Within less than
a fortnight Colonel Roosevelt proba-
bly, will begin the campaign trips which
are to carry him into almost every
state of the Union before the Novem-
Der election. Although he has not
reached a final decision, he expects to
leave Oyster Bay week after next.
Kansas, Iowa and Michigan tentatively
are on the program. He may also at
tend the Chicago convention of the new
Progressive party. The purpose of Col.
Reosevelt's trip. if it is made, will be
to tour states in which primaries will
soon be held to nominate Republican
presidential electors.
"Ive been asked to go to the three
states to take part in the primaries
campaign" he said. "I have not defin-
itely made up my mind. Both the
Roosevelt and Taft forces are going
to make a fight at the primaries, and
each of them has announced in ad-
vance that it will not abide by the re-
suit in case 1t is beaten. The fight
will be to see which side will have to
name it's candidates for presidential
electors by petition instead of having
them on the Republican ticket.
THE primaries in these states will
be held before long and if I make the
trip I shall leave in 10 or IL days.
